    What dish equipment do I need?

    I'm considering switching to Dish. I would like to be better informed about the equipment (receivers) before I talk to an agent. What receivers should I consider? I didn't want a DVR unless it doesn't have an extra monthly charge. I need 4 HD receivers in my main house plus an HD receiver in my...

    Cancelled DTV over terrible customer service

    AT&T charged our credit card $140 but DTV says they were not paid. We emailed DTV a copy of our credit card transaction but it doesn't sound like anyone knows how to fix our account. AT&T says they were paid. One agent told my wife not to worry about the $140, pay the bill if we want service. If...

    Cancelled DTV over terrible customer service

    Thanks for your suggestions. It has been about a week since my wife cancelled. I'm not a Comcast monopoly fan. Was considering calling Dish tomorrow, I guess I'll try DTV also. I'm a hockey fan and the internet streaming options don't cover what I need.

    Cancelled DTV over terrible customer service

    My wife cancelled our DTV after wasting countless hours with a very helpless customer support. We have been DTV customers for over 7 years. AT&T/ DTV changed our billing cycle after our automatic payment was interrupted because of a credit card security code change. We tried to talk to a...

    Thanks Msmith! I didn't know I could run 50ft cables. Did you mean S-video? Are S-video cables HD quality?

    NEW Directv INSTALLATION w/ used Receivers?

    I was told by D* they cannot guarantee which model receiver they will send and HD receivers are in such demand and once you activate a receiver it cannot be returned or exchanged for any refund. Unfortunately I paid $300 for 3 discontinued old receivers and then found they were not returnable. I...

    NEW Directv INSTALLATION w/ used Receivers?

    Thanks Stonecold & Jimbo. Do you think I should ask D* to return the H20s and tell them I am buying the H24s for the same price? I specifically asked and was told I would receive the latest equipment and not an old discontinued models. Is there something else I need to understand before I...

    NEW Directv INSTALLATION w/ used Receivers?

    I thought I understood the lease thing, maybe not . I paid over $ 400 for the extra receivers from D* plus the $5 ea per month. Why wouldn't I be better to order H24s from SS for $ 99ea for new units with all the new features & capability than $99ea from D* for 3 yr old H20s? If I order a 2010...

    NEW Directv INSTALLATION w/ used Receivers?

    As a new customer I wasn't told I would get 3 year old used equipment and be charged NEW equipment price. We specifically asked if we were getting Directv's newest equipment and were told we were. I would have much rather purchased new equipment from Solidsignal.com than 3 year old used from...

    NEW Directv INSTALLATION w/ used Receivers?

    I am a new Directv customer and purchased 5 receivers and was disappointed to receive a hodge podge of receivers. Two nice H24-100, one OK H23-600 and two reconditioned H20-600 that were built in Jan 07. One H20-600 is hot to touch even when off, scratched-up and occasionally pixelates. I called...
