    Have to leave DTV: How Do I Not Get Billed?

    Hello, After over 2 years I have to leave DTV. I am wondering how to do so without getting billed (ie getting out of my 2 year contract I signed when I got the HD Tivo last year)? I seem to recall discussion about this a while ago. From what I have been told, I have a $300 termination fee...

    Limited to 1 HD DVR per install?

    Hello, Wondering if anyone can help me based on their Dish experience. I just called customer service and they told me they only allow 1 HD DVR (622) install per household. They said that if I wanted an additional HD DVR install I would have to buy it separately and either install myself or...

    PIP on the 622

    Hello, Recently i was talking to a sales rep about pip on the 622 and he said pip is not dependent on the TV, that the PIP on the 622 is just splitting the signals. Is this how it works? Any info about PIP on the 622 would be great. I had PIP on a TV and loved it (granted, pre-dvr days). Do...

    HD locals-charge from Dish?

    Hi, Interested in signing up for Dish and trying to figure out if I can sign up for HD locals only (for $5) and not for the HD package ($20)? Is this possible? I'm already planning on signing up for locals, but I'm not sure the $20 is worth it for the HD package, especially when DTV's HD...

    Interested in Dish-few questions about the service

    Hello, I'm a DirecTV customer, but I'm seriously thinking about coming to Dish, in part for the 622. However, I have a few questions about the service and Dish hardware. Thanks in advance if you can enlighten me. 1. Do the DVR's have to be hooked up to a phone line? DTV has this to, but...

    Questions on Dish Installation (different than previous questions)

    Hello, First of all, thank you in advance for taking the time to read and possibly answer the questions in this post. I am at the end of the road with DirecTV (their poor MPEG4 introduction, with no upgraded DVR features looks to be the last straw), and am seriously looking at the 622 with...

    May have to leave DTV: will they make me pay up?

    Hello, Regrettably, I think I may be nearing the end of my rope with DTV. I am in the middle of a 2 year contract and may be cancelling in the next few months. When I spoke to a CSR today they told me I'd owe the prorated portion of $300 if I break my contract. I believe I read a few...

    New Humax DVR?

    I've read here sporadically about a Humax/HMC DVR due out next year that supposedly is networked (or something like that). I've tried a keyword search of the site to try to find out more info on this, to no avail. Can anyone tell me more about this DVR? I assume it'll be HD. But how many...

    Can you recommend an antenna for my OTA

    Hello, Here's my situation: I'm looking for an OTA antenna that will go in my basement, next to my TV (this is a temporary solution til DC gets the locals in HD so I'm not paying a contractor to go on the roof or wire something). I'm not far from the signals (about 5 miles/channel), but I have...

    HD Locals: New Dish Needed?

    Hello, I am in one of the 12 markets (DC) to get the locals this fall. When I was talking to the DTV rep recently, he indicated this would happen automatically (ie the locals would just pop up in HD one day), without the need to install a new dish. I thought I've heard otherwise from the...

    Hello, I've been reading this site for a while and I'm incredibly impressed with all your knowledge. Hence, I'm turning to you to help me solve a problem which of course DirecTV cust svc was of no help with. I recently had the HD Tivo installed with an OTA antenna put on my roof for the...
