Downgrade your package to the basic package then if you aren't watching what you are paying for. You will probably save about 40 dollars a month on that

Actually if you just bought a 4K TV it should do the upscaling for you. If you have a 4K TV you might want to wait on buying the blurry player because supposedly a true 4K DVD player will be coming out at the end of this year

Yup, specifically Netflix and Amazon Prime. You can also find some 4K on YouTube, but for that you need to put it on a flash drive, and hook up to the TV What I don't like about DTV is they only support Samsung, and if you use the RVU features they still want to charge you as an extra receiver...

No, but I would be willing to pay a higher price for individual ala carte channels, then the whole price for 200 channels, 90% which I don't watch.

Since we only watch about 10 out of 200 channels, I am obviously attracted by the ala carte approach.

The Satellite or cable companies have been bundling packages where 90% of the content in those bundles are ignored by the customers. If they would either break down the bundles into smaller bundles, or offer ala carte type programming they would get more sympathy from me. McCain actually tried...

I really hope the AT&T/DTV merger doesn't happen. Also, I hope the Comcast and TWC deal doesn't happen either. we need more competition not less.

FYI, If you belong to AAA, they offer some excellent discounts for DTV

Talos4, if you were a previous DTV customer, and if you are coming back you might want to mention WBK22 which gives you free genie whole-home HD DVR upgrade for up to 4 rooms, free installation, 2014 included, plus 3 months premiums, and up to 200 dollars back for any early termination fee you...

I just reconnected with DTV. They gave me an HR-44 and 3 genie mini clients, and I could not be happier. Each mini effectively acts as a separate receiver, and the server is the HR-44 which all recorded programs can be viewed by each receiver. Another positive is the low foot print of the...

I left for a few months, just came back. I have an HR-44, and 3 mini Genie clients. Couldn't be happier with the technology and the low foot print of the receivers.

I had a "great deal" to sign up for XFinity triple play. After two months I was extremely unhappy that I left DirectTV. From HD quality, content, technology and everything else, DTV is light years away. A week ago DTV offered me a deal to come back which included free installation, equipment...

Interesting. For me the DVR is the one that locks up and freezes not the clients. I have had it for 3 months, and I am thinking of going back to DirectTV. I agree picture wise DirectTV is the best. Kind of sorry I left them.

Yup, absolutely right, the first technician didn't know the capabilities. Everything works including initiating a recording from the non-DVR to the DVR. They are a huge company, but they really have to improve their communications among their employees

It was a single issue. Person came out changed the old cables, and everything is working like charm. Hardware was fine.

I have 1 HD DVR and 3 HD non DVRs. For a couple of days I was having issues where programs were being recorded with a lot of pixelations, and I could not tune to certain stations, getting error code 18. I reset all the receivers, along with the DVR. All the receivers came up fine but the DVR...

That worked Dave thanks.

Hi SuperDave. What you refer to as the enter key when setting the jump ahead or jump back with the page up/page down key, do you mean [OK]? When tried that it just selected channel 30 Definitely, starting to get use to the guide and remote Thanks

No I didn't know that Dave. I also am not real thrilled about there guid either. I have had Dish, Direct, Uverse, and even the old Motorola receivers with Comcast, and in all those cases the guides were much more user friendly. Less clutter, and more information about a show before you...

Boy am I glad I did not cancel DirectTV. Comcast has has less HD content then DirectTV then I was led to believe. For example, they only have 1 HD channel for HBO. What is up with that? ATT Uverse, Dish, and DirectTV have multiple HD HBO channels. I have a 30 day return policy, so just...

Hi grantsa4: Actually I think it is a pretty good deal. 4 receivers, 1 HD/DVR with whole house DVR, HD digital preferred + starz, unlimited phone, and internet, 25 mbs, + HBO for 120/month for two years. They are letting me buy the emts modem/router to cover the phone and internet. After...

I got a similar deal to what you have Super Dave. They will install tomorrow. However the eMTA modem for internet and phone they are letting me purchase it and avoid the monthly rental. You can also purchase it at Best Buy. Comcast does not force you to rent the modems, at least that is what...

For me I could not care less. There are so many alternatives to the weather Now if they would only start dropping this home shopping network channels, that would really please me

I was a Dish customer for 10 years, but left two years ago for DTV. I know all the Satellite and Cable companies have issues with content, but in my view Dish was worse than the others. Voom, Smithsonian, AMC, sports, etc. Haven't looked back once. I also have an HR34 and the initial...

I was a long time Dish customer also, and finally left for the reasons you articulated for Direct. If you can get D* whole house DVR it is worth it, and well implemented. If you have AAA they used to have pretty good discounts for signing onto D* Good luck in your decision
