Thanks Chip. That sounds like a good plan - I'll try that.

...to know the best way to cancel DirecTV. Here's my info: I'm moving cross-country on April 2 and my new apartment only offers Comcast (i.e. no D* dish installs) My DirecTV bill is due April 4 (last payment was March 2) I have a CC on file and am enrolled in auto bill pay My contract expires...

...how will I remove the dish? It's up on my roof and I have no clue how to go about removing it. So is this timeline not possible? I call D* about the mover's deal They take my dish down I move cross country with my receiver I call them with my new address They install the dish at my new place

...of the apartments we've found online. Thing is, not all of them will allow for satellite dishes to be installed. My question is, should I call D* about the Mover's Deal, or will they try to charge me? I'll need them to take down the dish before we move. Does the "Deal" add 12 months onto my...

After a couple more bills I'm able to say that the last rep I spoke with did take of the problem and I'm getting the Entertainment package without the $10 HD charge. So my bill is $55 for the Entertainment package and $8 DVR fee = $63 per month.

I called and asked why there was a $10 charge for HD on my account. He said it was for HD programming, to which I replied that I signed up for the free HD for life promotion with auto bill pay (which I have maintained). He put me on hold and then said he would credit my account $10 for next...

Sigh - got my bill today and they did charge me $10 for HD. Will call to try and get it removed and upgrade my package to Choice.

Yeah, I'm just going to roll the dice and see what happens with my bill. I'll be sure to post back when the bill's available.

I emailed them and got this reply: I'm confused by this response. The first two paragraphs seem to contradict each other. Would you recommend waiting until my next bill, holding out hope that I'm still eligible for the free HD with the Entertainment package? Or should I call and switch...

Hmm, well, here's what happened. I called on July 20 and asked "what is the cheapest package that is still eligible for free HD?" The CSR said that Entertainment was the cheapest. We then reviewed the price differences between Entertainment and Choice Xtra and I asked her to confirm that...

Good news! I called today and was able to get the Entertainment package ($55 a month) with free HD. I was told all I need to do to keep the free HD was to remain on auto bill pay. All we really watch is ESPN, AMC, TNT, USA and the major broadcast networks, so this is perfect for us.

I'll call twice and ask what the lowest threshold for the free HD is. Hopefully it's Choice and not Choice Xtra. Too bad I can't get Select Classic or Entertainment with free HD :( Thanks for the replies Iceberg and mdavej.

When you say by retention, does that mean Select Classic is only available when my two-year agreement ends? Sounds like Entertainment is my next-best option - would I still get free HD if I downgraded to that package? Thanks for your help Iceberg.

I've been a DTV customer for one year and, now that my package promotion is running out, I'd like to switch from the Choice Xtra ($69/month) to Select Classic ($42/month). My first bill was for Aug 15 - Sep 14, 2011 and my current (12th) bill is from Jul 15 - Aug 14, 2012. My question is, what...

Swapping the cables at the two-way splitter outside fixed the problem. Thanks Joe.

I went outside to swap the cables at the two-way splitter but can't get them to budge. What tool do you recommend to loosen those up? I felt the living room and office coax cables but didn't feel a tingle from either one. However, I know that they're both connected to the two-way splitter...

Today I moved my HR24 from my living room to my office. Unfortunately I'm getting the 771A error. My dish goes into a two-way splitter outside my house. One coax goes into the Living Room (where the HR24 used to be) and the goes into my office (in the event I wanted to move the receiver). I've...

Awesome Jimbo. My wife and kids thank you! Good luck with Urban.

I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer to this. When I press menu on my remote now, instead of displaying my recordings, it displays "My DirecTV." It takes several more clicks to get to the recordings section. My question is, is there a quicker way to get to recordings now?

Hey guys - I just signed up for the DirecTV Choice Xtra package. I'm trying to avoid any gotchas by cancelling: 3 months HBO/Showtime/Stars package NFL Sunday Ticket My question is, when is the earliest I can cancel these packages without losing the promotion. For example, if I called...

...would package/equipment you recommend that I sign up for? Only one room/TV HD DVR Local channels ESPN Internet modem & wireless router are in a different room than the TV & D* receiver In addition, does the Costco promotion currently offer the most savings? If not, what do you recommend?

Right. I live in a two-story townhome, with the ground floor patio and the top floor balcony both facing the southwest sky. I was thinking of going the tripod route from the balcony if I made the switch.

I live in San Jose, CA and am currently paying for basic extended Comcast (with QAM). My apartment has a deal with Dish Network. You can get the basic receiver with Top 250 programming for free. If you want DVR or HD you have to pay for your own account and equipment. I was talking to my...

Wow great work jacmyoung! For you veterans, is this the best offer you've seen, or will there be a similar deal this fall? P.S. Here's a link to the AAA offer.
