    Nascar Hotpass Free Preview this weekend

    I will definitely check this out. Can the Hotpass channels be recorded on the DVR? I am going to be out with the wife Saturday and won't be able to watch the race until later. I was seriously considering getting Hotpass and this free preview will be what makes my mind up on it.

    Getting the deal before it expires

    Thats good to hear that you were able to get the Showtime deal and get an install set up quickly as well. Hopefully your installer gets everything up and running and you are happy with the service. Please let us know how the install went good or bad.

    The Mastec installer that came out said that he would have to bring the 2nd line in downstairs through the outside wall. As soon as I pointed out the DVR setup upstairs the tech said the exact same thing that I was thinking that it would be very easy to run those two lines. The only problem...

    Well The 2 lines upstairs that he will have to run should be easy, coming straight off the satellite dish under the eaves and then through the wall right to my DVR. The cable run for my DVR downstairs is a different situation, my house sits on a slab and there is no attic access that I am...

    Do Direct's DVR receivers require telephone line hook up?

    beat me to it The only reason you need the phone line is for ordering PPVs. Otherwise they aren't required.

    Getting the deal before it expires

    Yeah, its on the website that its a minimum 24 month commitment for HD or DVR packages. I didn't have a problem with that so I didn't think to mention it to you. The way that I look at it is I will be getting a larger selection of programming and hopefully better service (my Time Warner Cable...

    No problem, just making sure you knew about the referral program. Hopefully both of our installs will go smoothly.

    Getting the deal before it expires

    I did get the $23 off deal through the phone call. I didn't even ask for the Showtime deal she just gave it to me, She first tried to get me the 2nd DVR for $100 off as well and when that didn't work she said that she would give me the Showtime free for 1 year. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask...

    I will be keeping my internet through the cable company so I will have to have 2 lines run into that room for my HD DVR that is going in there and then I will have to have one new line run into my living room for my HD DVR that will be going in there. That should all be free of charge but I...

    Getting the deal before it expires

    I just called in and ordered service yesterday and got those HBO and Starz free for 3 months but the CSR also gave me Showtime free for a year. My install is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Any tip or things to think about before they come out to install?

    I thought I had seen somewhere that there was no charge for an installer to run cable to a room if necessary. Just wanted to make sure though. Anything else I need to know or think about before I call to make my installation order?

    I am a cable customer and I am looking to switch to Directv. I just had a few questions about things. 1. I don't currently have a home phone line I just use my cell phones. Is that a problem? 2. I plan on getting 2 HD DVRs and 2 regular boxes, which boxes should I ask for and which dish...

    FWIW, I just received an informational cd from VOOM in the mail today. I had asked for information from VOOM last week to see about signing up. Don't know if they sent that out before all this news came out or not.
