    Duh!! OK, I get it. Basically, instead of the extra receiver charge, I have the leased receiver charge.

    Billing Question

    Just moved and had Direct installed a extra receiver in the kids play room. I now have 2 HR10-250's and a new R15. I just noticed my bill had the extra receiver charge which is fine, but it also has the DVR charge AND a lease charge for the R15. Is this correct? Should I be charged both...

    Lost Odd Transponders on Tuner 1

    Do you have a multi-switch? If so, replace this. This exact same thing happened to me about month ago.

    Directv Add Total Choice Family Tier

    What I want is the Family Package of the Premium channels. I would like to get HBO Family, Showtime Family, Cinemax Family, etc... without the other "regular" premiums. If I could get these at a reasonable price, I would subscribe to them.

    Season Pass Problems???

    Had a problem the last couple of nights with setting up Season Passes on my HD TIVO, and I was wondering if anybody has had this problem and has a solution. I was in the process of moving my Fox shows (24, That 70's Show, etc...) from my OTA channel to channel 88 (Fox NY), and the Season...

    HD Equipment Upgrade Question?

    Hey Robert (VE) or Scott, Do you know (or can you speculate) how D* will handle the new equipment for HD Tivo customers. I am in Atlanta also, and one reason I switched to D* because the of new HD Locals. Do you think it will be a software/firmware fix, or will it be a hard module...

    Guide Times

    I have a problem with my recordings and I was wondering if others were experiencing the same problem. All of my recordings are ending several minutes short. I know this is an issue between the Guide and the time on the receiver, but it seems to be worse recently. I also know that you can...

    Overscan Issue?

    Does anyone else have a problem with overscan on ESPN-HD? I’m not sure if it is the HD Tivo or my TV, but the bottom ticker is so far off the screen that I I can barely read the scores. Is this a D* problem, a Tivo problem, or is it a problem with my TV. I checked some of the other news...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    No problem. Thanks for the info. All of the information you stated above were determining factors in my switch from Dish to Direct. Dish just did not seem to have a direction, and looked like they would be loosing ground in HD content. Also service was really getting bad. With the stuff...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    I wasn't trying to be smart. If you still cannot comment, then OK. Remember I am new to Direct, so if this is old news I apologize. Anybody else care to comment on the article. It looks like Bravo-HD is being replaced with a new better channel on Dec. 1, with HD Movies and series. I cannot...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    Can you speculate on the article pasted below. I don't have a link. Could this be at least one thing of the things that you could not be more specific about? "NEW YORK -- Armed with an expanded content library from its merger, NBC Universal announced Tuesday it will relaunch its high-def...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    No offense intended. Mostly tough in cheek comments. I like reading the boards and speculating on changes/enhancements that may be coming down the road. I understand your position and am glad for whatever information you provide. It is up to me whether I believe or agree with you. And in...

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    I agree. If someone doesn't like the information (whether rumor of not) from the board, then don't read it. We all should now that anything we read here should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, no one should leak information that may get somebody fired or sued.

    TNT HD???? anytime soon

    Wow... That is rather ominous. Let the speculation begin. I've only been with D* for a week. I would hate for some major news to wreck what I bought (HR10-250 and DVR80), like they are switching to MPEG4 and the HD receivers will no longer work. :shocked Or that TIVO will no longer be the...

    HD Tivo Remote Codes Question

    Well Guys... I went ahead and moved into the light. I switched from Dish to Direct two days ago and had a HD TIVO and SD TIVO installed. Spent the better part of the last couple of nights getting a feel for the boxes, and setting up recording options. So far, I am very happy, especially with HD...

    D* Installation Question

    Cool.... That is a nice feature. Will I loose any OTA signal strength? I am border line on a couple of my channels, depending on the weather and season. There is not much else I can do with my antenna rig. I had a professional spend many hours and $ to get what I got. I do not want to lose...

    D* Installation Question

    So... is the OTA signal combined into the satellite signal on the 8 outs? If so do you always need a diplexor to seperate the signal before going into the receiver. If you do not have an OTA receiver, do you still need a diplexor? It would be nice if the signal was combined, that way I could...

    D* Installation Question

    Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I am a current E* customer that is switching to D*, mainly because of the HR10-250 HD TIVO. I really want the ability to record HD (both satellite and OTA). I also want dual satellite and OTA tuners, and HD TIVO is the only unit that will give me...
