I have The Directv Select Package with a H25/100 receiver. My bill runs around $57 with tax & fees that I got from the loyalty department back in February of 2020. Is this about the best deal that I can expect in today's environment? Has anyone renewed with the loyalty department lately and...

I have been trying to get my agreed upon discounts in my Directv bill for the last 8 months or so. I also can't get the Showtime charge removed even though the service was turned off before the free promo expired. Every month I call the loyalty department and they say they have no control over...

Thanks for the responses. I didn't know about HDCP copy protection; that explains why there are no DVR's outside of TIVO etc. I have read that several HDMI splitter's remove the HDCP...which I guess wouldn't be considered legal. As far as analog goes can one get near HDMI quality with the...

I have Directv; the most basic H25 receiver and a HDMI splitter (1 in 8 out). I want to configure a simple DVR setup where I can record what channel the H25 is playing at a certain future period of time. I live alone and have UHF remotes throughout the house with HDMI cables going to various...

My Directv account discount expires on March 31, 2019. I called the Loyalty Department today (3/26) to inquire about another discount for 12 months. I am currently getting $35 off on a select package. The CSR said she only had a $20 discount available to me at this time. I asked her if other...

I am referring to the new Dish Flex Pack(skinny bundle) for $39.99. It doesn't have quite as many channels as my Direct select package but it has every channel (except for 1) that I watch.

I am currently on Direct and my contract will expire in April. New customers always get a better deal so I am looking at going to Dish. Does anyone know how long you have to be disconnected from Direct TV to be considered a new customer?

That is an incredible deal, congrats !! Did you cancel before the end of your contract? In other words were you without service for 30 days? Did you first try the retention department and they wouldn't budge on pricing...and then just drop the service. I'm trying to get a sense of how this...

On the website if you build your own package and equipment a DVR will cost $10 more per month than a free(included) basic receiver. I guess I could check and see if a DVR fee is cheaper than that but I doubt it. Its such a pain that the two satellite providers treat their existing customers...

Good to know. Its basically a boat anchor if I have to pay a monthly DVR fee. I should just let them supply me with a new DVR for the same money. I assume the new DVR receivers are capable of using RF remotes. I think I only gave $5 for the receiver...figured the hard drive inside would be...

I have a 722K from a garage sale. It looks like that will do RF. I presume I would have a $40 activation fee for the receiver. Can I do a 2nd one time $40 activation fee for the DVR or am I on the hook for a monthly DVR fee on this.

Great info ! Can you tell if the remote to your Wally is RF?(I presume you have a Wally)

I went over to Solid Signal. They say the Wally is compatible with a RF remote. In the FAQ for both the 211K & 211Z they say they won't go thru walls because they say each one comes with an IR remote. The Wally may/may not come with an IR remote but at least its compatible for RF. Are the...

I will probably be leaving Direct TV in a couple of months as my current contract will be up and I doubt they will come close to matching Dish Network's $39.99 flex package. What receiver will they give me if I sign up for a Non DVR 1 TV setup? What Satellite Dish/LNB (Model #) would they use...

Thanks for the link. I also looked at some YouTube videos on the subject and learned quite a bit. I also found a related video for someone who wanted to take their DirectTV RVing and a way to keep it simple and just receive Std Def on 101. They showed a menu in satellite setup to have the...

Got it...thanks. The Std def channels are right next to the High def. The next time I get rain fade I may try stepping down to the Std def for possible relief on KU. Somehow that power inserter must step down to 18 volt and 13 volt from its stated 21 volt output.

Great thoughts. The rainfade reception could be just standard def instead of high def and I do have a SWM setup looking at the power insert-er. I can't see a standard def version of my high def channels in the guide. I wonder if I am even authorized to get the standard def version of my high...

This is one of the legitimate Channel Master dishes-like you see on commercial rooftops for credit card access. I don't want to touch my current DTV setup-my thought was to have a secondary setup to be used in rainstorms only...that is why the voltage passing manual switch. That is also why...

I recently subscribed to Direct TV(cheapest Select package) and of course have experienced some rain fade. I am contemplating running a second RG6 coax with a manual high frequency voltage passing switch to a 1.2M Primestar Dish. I have a KU circular LNBF with only 13/18 volt switching...

OK, thanks...great explanation!

The Directv H25 receiver has a plug to connect a dongle for a RF remote. The best price for these seems to on ebay. I want a RF remote to use on TV's in other rooms that are going to be connected to the main receiver thru RG6 coax. The H25 came with just an IR remote which is sufficient for...

That's the same thing as jcrandall mentioned earlier in this thread.

The problem with that cable is the video is red/green/blue rather than yellow.
