    Keeping FREE HD For Life if I switch packages

    I am sure a lot of you maybe in the same boat as me. I signed up for DTV about 11 months ago with CHOICE XTRA. Now my intro 12 month $24/ 5$ rebates are about to end. I was thinking of switching to the Family Package or the Select Package to save some money. Anyone know what will happen to my...

    Will you cancel Dish because of the new receiver pricing?

    Pricing Model More "Fare" now Although I do not like price increases, the new method seems to distribute the cost more consistently to the more expensive installtions. Delivering service is the same cost if you have 1 receiver or 10. The only difference is the cost of the hardware in the...

    Considering Dish - 2 Questions (VIP 722 Dual Output & Insurance Related)

    FYI, I just place and order for Dish and they told me that the standard receiver I would get would be a 722K which does NOT come with an OTA tuner. I had to pay $30 to get the OTA turner. The good thing about the 722K with an OTA modual is that I will get 2 OTA tuners instead of one like the...

    I had NFL-ST last year (the new subscriber deal with 4 months of free premier) Well I noticed that the first payment on my auto-renewal came on this bill. I called up to cancel ST and get my $45 back and the 1st words out of the CSR mouth "What would it take to have you keep ST?" My mind...

    NFL Ticket Only...

    Couldn't he put his account on hold (sleep) for 8 months and then turn it back on right before NFL Sunday Ticket. I also thought that the Family pack is a qualifying package and it is only 29.99 (with locals) That would be the cheapest way to get NFL Sunday Ticket that I could think of...

    Help!? Directv tech says I cant uprgade to 5lnb

    I'm confused. IF the installer could put up a 3lnb dish which needs line of site from 101 to 119 deg, Then why in the world would a 5lnb that needs to see from 99 to 119 be such a big deal. It is only 2 degrees and the dish is bigger to deal better with fade issues. Something does not smell...

    New 622 TV2 w/No Receiver = No Surround?

    Suggestion I assume that the RF cable is connected to your TV. If your TV has audio out, Then you can connect these outputs from the TV to the audio receiver. The RF signal from the 622 TV2 has MTS stereo so you can use that to get surround (Dolby Pro Logic).

    OTA tuner to be enabled on Nov.. 1st?

    Well it is not baffling to me. I am a software developer so I know what issues can arise with developing code. The reason that the OTA tuners are not there is because then the box is just like the R15 (two tuners) All the logic for recording is the same. That way all you have to focus on is...

    Problems with HD reception

    Well the DirecTV tech came out and looked at my system. He looked at the transponder levels and said that they all seemed low not just 110. He spent about 45 min. fine tuning my dish and now everything is great. I am getting 80's and above on all my transponders. The guy said the installer...

    Problems with HD reception

    Looks like my 110 LNB on my AT-9 has gone bad. All other signals are fine but I get 0 on one transponder and 29 on the other 2. They were in 70's before today. DirecTV is coming out Tuesday to fix the issue. I wonder if I can get a new slimline dish out of this:D :D

    OTA tuner to be enabled on Nov.. 1st?

    Ok, my thinking cap is on Lets see. You are the only one telling us Nov. 1st, you do not site a source, and Earl (Who has contact with the development team of the HR-20) is telling us not Nov. 1st. You claim that HD-DNS channel are being shut down on Nov. 1st for Central/easter time...

    HR20-700 Has Arrived in Norman, OK

    The HR20-700 does have folders. Here is how they work. The List button brings up a the MyVod list of programs that have been recorded. When you create a series link recording, all of the shows recorded from that series appear as one entry in the MyVod list. You can then select that entry...

    HR20-700 Has Arrived in Norman, OK

    One quick comment about the box is the stability. I got a DVR 501 early on and went through 3 units to get one that worked, and even then it would lock up at least once a week for about 7 month. Then the software got better. The ReplayTV 5000 unit had similar issues but was stable after about...

    HR20-700 Has Arrived in Norman, OK

    Well, I played with the unit a little more on Thursday and here are some of my thoughts so far on this unit. What is the deal with the circle of LEDs on the center of the unit. Did MTV get a hold of this box and do a Pimp-my-SatBox on it :confused: But now on to the some real...

    Wanted 10-250 got HR20

    I just Got a HR20-700 on Wendsday and I like it. I have had 2 Dish DVR's a 501 and 522. I also have had a replayTV PVR (which is great). I think the UI is fairly good. The big difference I see is that is seems to use menus much more than popups. I many ways I like this better. I see all...
