    changed from choice xtra to choice, charged for both?

    I just got my bill and noticed it was about $70 more than it usually is. Last month I changed from Choice Xtra classic to choice. I called Directv and they said it was because I had access to both choice and choice xtra classic last month and that there were no supervisors to help me so they...

    Create separate MRV networks

    I'm guessing this has been asked before, but after searching for about a half hour and not finding it so I'm going to ask. I have 5 DVR's (HR34, 2xHR24s, HR22, HR21) and SWM16. Is there a way I can isolate MRV so 3 DVR's are on one "network" and the the other two are on another "network"...

    Swap HD recievers for SD DVRs

    Does anyone have any experience trying to swap out equipment for other equipment of equal value? I have two H23s that I added when I moved a couple months ago thinking that I was going to get HD TVs for the rooms that they are in.

    MRV over SWM

    Awhile ago I remember reading that there was a demo given to installers showing MRV being used over SWM, not Ethernet. 1) Is there a possibility of this actually happening? 2) Does DirecTv prefer to have this done over Ethernet to get people to have their boxes connected to the internet (...

    Program CE Restart as Macro

    Has anyone had any experience programing the restart procedure for the CE download process as a macro on any type of remote? I just got a URC MX-880 and am thinking it might be possible. The only thing that I'm not sure about are delay times.. Would they be consistent enough to try this?
