    MRV/Internet connection set up

    I know this has been discussed a ton on here but I am looking for some straight forward, simple advice. I have an HR24 DVR with MRV. I did not get the internet connection kit at install (didn't know it was an option). I tried plugging an ethernet cable from the DVR into my wireless access...

    $25 internet install fee? Is this needed with WHDVR?

    I am a little confused about the optional $25 install of internet service to the receivers when you order service. Is this required for the Whole Home DVR setup? I assumed that when they set up the WHDVR, it would have to include networking. Is this internet option something different? Or...

    Made the jump back. Any good sources for used equip?

    I have taken the plunge and am coming back to Directv. But now I have a situation and a couple questions. I didn't realize the whole home dvr did not work with a standard receiver. Consequently, I ordered a hd dvr, hd receiver, and standard receiver, for nothing out of pocket. But my wife...

    Former customer considering a return. Same good deals for a return as for new?

    I left DTV about a year ago. The lure of the Uverse whole home dvr was too much to resist. Well, now I see that D has the whole home dvr, and I am strongly considering a return. I have seen the awesome deals listed for new customers with the free WHDVR and other HD receivers, as well as the...

    Does Directv charge for a service call?

    We had some serious wind here in Ohio over the last day. It must have knocked my dish out of whack on the roof, because now some HD channels do not come in. I am getting low signal strength on the 99 c sat. So, my question is, if I call Directv and have them come out and adjust the dish...

    ESPN News HD- left side off the screen?

    I am watching ESPN News HD, and the very edge of the left side of the picture is off the screen. There are stat boxes on the left side and I am missing the first letter or two of the words on that side. I have messed with picture size and all of that, but it still stays off. Does anyone else...

    Returning to Directv...whats the deal with my Weather Channel?

    I am back with Directv after making the mistake of trying Uverse. I just hooked up my Directv/Tivo Series 2 receiver (Samsung) in my family room, and turned on The Weather Channel, excited to see the new Local on the 8's. But I never see them. I don't even see the "national" version. I just...

    Basic question from an ignorant person regarding old Tivo receivers

    Ok, this may be long and full of stupid, if so, I am sorry. But here is my story/question: I was a long time DTV subscriber. I had two of the DTV/TIVO units (I don't know the models, but they were basic, one made by DirecTV, the other by Samsung). I love TIVO, and had no issues with my...

    Anyone ever quit DTV, then come back with a good deal?

    I quit DTV a few months ago to go to UVERSE and am sort of missing my dish. But, the price I get through Uverse is way too low to consider going back. I am just wondering if anyone has ever quit DTV and then was lured back by some kind of awesome deal? I keep waiting for the calls or the...

    I need an HD education. Can someone shed some light on these simple questions:

    This may be a repeat, if so, I am sorry. Here is my situation: I currently have Time Warner Cable, but am a former Dtv customer. I loved my Dtv, but switched to cable in order to get the free HD receiver and local channels. But, I am sick of the poor picture quality with cable, and only...

    Ok, maybe this is a stupid thing to ask, and if so, I am sorry. I am kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff. I have Directv with a new Directv Tivo DVR. The picture on my standard crt tv is fine. But when I am watching my 51 inch Toshiba rear projection I have a problem with...
