    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    More than likely, that is what I'm going to do. I just don't want to have to eat the cost of the receivers and the early termination. I do have one final question. My dish, because of the location, points at the satellites through power lines that run down the street behind me. I didn't...

    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    I sit 14 feet away from a 70" TV, 12 feet from a 65" and 11 feet from a 50". I don't want to drop DirecTV. I love MRV, online scheduling and having more channels than cable, but I also can't stand looking at people who look like wax figures or backgrounds which flicker and buzz with...

    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    Already checked that setting and only 1080i is selected. Also on the front of the DVR it reades 1080. I don't know what to do as my signals are all good. I hate to lose the money, but every time I turn on the TV now, I get pissed. I can't believe that DirecTV locks you into a contract for...

    I've been in the service menus before, but I don't want to make too many adjustments there. I really don't believe it's my displays. I'm at a loss.

    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    Soft is definately a word I would use. I honestly thought it was my eyes until I hooked up the cable DVR again. I was seriously thinking I needed glasses. I have been tweeking my master bedroom TV, but no amount of settings seems to dial it in. I notice the skin tones are off and everything...

    I realize that the ISF calibration is done on each input for each source, but my point is that this big a difference shouldn't be seen. At the same time, my TV upstairs has not been ISF calibrated and I see the same difference in picture. What really stands out for me is the pulsating noise in...

    Finally signed up....Disappointed

    So I got DirecTV hooked up last Friday, but I am disappointed in the picture quality. I have mid to upper 90s signal strength, the DVRs are set to 1080i output and I am hooked up with HDMI. The problem is that on premium HD channels I'm seeing a lot of compression artifacts and on all HD...

    AAA discount?

    So there's no way to combine Bing and AAA with DirecTV?

    AAA discount?

    Yeah, I knew they had a special phone number, I was just hoping that we could sign up online and the call. I can also get Bing cash back signing up online, so I was hoping to go that route, then my wife can call later and say that we forgot about the AAA discount and have it applied, prior to...

    AAA discount?

    So if my wife signs up for DirecTV over the internet, can she the call prior to install and add the AAA discount or can you only get the AAA discount at the time of ordering? I'd prefer to order online so I can add notes for the installer and I'd like to be able to print screens so there is no...

    2 DVRS and MRV?

    Can I have two HD DVRs and one HD Receiver and use MRV from every box? What I mean is can I view recordings from one DVR to the other DVR or only from an HD Receiver? Can I view recordings from both DVRs on the HD Receiver?

    Returning Customer - No Offers

    If that's the case, then I certainly apologize to boba for my comments. However, if it was directed towards me, then my comments stand. Going back and re-reading the comment, I can see your point, but sometimes it's hard to read sarcasm. Being new here, it's hard to tell sometimes because...

    Returning Customer - No Offers

    I'm sorry. I recall asking for a little advice on a Satellite enthusiast forum. I don't recall asking for a smart ass comment from someone who means less than nothing to me. It must be sad to have such a miserable life that you have nothing better to do than to act like a child over the...

    Quick question about new subscription

    I created a thread last night about how I was having problems getting a good deal from DirecTV. I had DirecTV for years, left during the HD Lite times and was going to come back last year. After ordering service in '09, I ended up canceling before my install because I thought I might be...

    Returning Customer - No Offers

    So I called DirecTV to reorder service. I was a customer from '97 to about '03 and then again from, I think, '05 to '07. During that second time, I left with about two months on my contract, I paid the early termination fee, and thought all was well. Last year, '09 I signed up again, but...

    So...I requested a SWM. Will I get one?

    Yeah, you're probably right. At this point I'm just borrowing trouble since I won't know anything until the installer shows up. It would make life a lot easier if they would just give me the installer's phone number, but they seem to want to guard that like a government secret.

    So...I requested a SWM. Will I get one?

    Yeah, I could do that, but I should not have to pay for one. The reasoning behind that statement is simple. When I called D* to get pricing over Dish, the CSR was really aggressive trying to make the sale. I told her that I was concerned about having to drill new holes and run a bunch of new...

    So...I requested a SWM. Will I get one?

    I guess I should edit the question. What I want to know is what happens if I refuse the install? Do they cancel the whole deal? Is there any way to ensure that I do get the SWM dish?

    So...I requested a SWM. Will I get one?

    I ordered service from D* and requested two HR23-700s, a standard HD receiver and a SWM Dish. All was notated on my work orders. I know that this was notated because I called back and a different CSR read the notes and all the info was there. Then she went on to say that she can't promise...

    MRV and Homeplug performance

    So how does the MRV work? Does it stream only, or can you download a program from one box to the other like a Tivo? It would be really difficult for me to run cat 5 upstairs to the Master Bedroom and my office, but if I could download the program from box to box then I could just start it...

    Dual Live Buffers?

    I just read at avsforum that dual live buffers are now in testing for the HRxx boxes. Is that true?

    Thinking about going back to D*. PQ any better?

    FIOS is in my area, but not my neighborhood and may be a year or more off. I'm looking to fill in that time. My cable HD (Cox) is pretty decent but there's just not enough of it. Add in the tiny 160 gig HDD on my cable DVRs, no online scheduling and 1 week of guide programing and you can see...
