    Why do I need a new Access card

    That may be but I have two others that are from newer boxes that had died over the years along with the card that came with the box (all appear to be the same so its not an age issue)....whatever, I purchased a new one but this is the last box I ever add to DTV. If another receiver dies it will...

    Is the Hopper the only option now

    It is not that I don't trust you (I don't trust my luck) but it is good to hear you have seen this done multiple time. Something to give a shot worse case I am forced to upgrade to a second Hopper with while limited and not my first choice, I could make work. Its too bad the Joeys don't have...

    Is the Hopper the only option now

    Thanks, I did not try it that way, I meant I have no choice if I select 5 tvs and 4 dvrs. I would be nice to have the option to select for TV 1 box X, TV2 box Y, etc and have it give you a price at the end. Maybe they feel the average consumer cannot figure out how to mix and match. I will...

    Why do I need a new Access card

    I had an old RCA box die in my basement. I have a D10-200 the neighbor gave me when he switched to Uverse. I went to activate it and DTV says it needs a new access card will cost 20 buck and take a week. Why this makes no sense, I have swapped Access card between an old box of mine and a DTV...

    Is the Hopper the only option now

    This would give me basically a total of 5 tuners..considering 2 (one on each hopper) would be setup for the big 4 primetime and 2 on each hopper correct (or is the 3 tuner available if you are not using the primetime feature, I do not believe so but I could be wrong). Still may be to limited...

    Is the Hopper the only option now

    Thanks for the advice, just seems a little risky if they do not offer the downgrade a outlined I am stuck for 2 years with a Hopper, 3 Joey's and 3 very unhappy family members.

    Is the Hopper the only option now

    I assumed the SD dvrs would not cost as much as I assumed there would be an upfront cost to me with this many dvrs. If that ends up not being the case I would just elect 4 SoloDVR ViP 612.

    NFL ST for 2012 update

    Personally tiring of this game. Sure they drop the price great makes sense as they lost games to Thurs night on NFL. But they put the Redzone into the 300 upper tier. All I want is the Redzone which they have at Dish and Xfinity. Sick of the game of threatening to leave to get the 'undoable'...

    I need a new Receiver! HELP!

    Th This always strikes me as odd...you buy service from d* and the box breaks within the two year agreement you have to pay 149 and extend your agreement for another 2 years (from date of activation?)....unless you are willing to pay $6 per month for the protection plan. But if you cannot...

    I guess I have on final question that crossed my mind I would like to ask before they install on Tuesday. If you get a 3rd 722 instead of the 612 and put it in single mode do you still pay $17 fee or is it the same as the $10 612 fee....Thanks

    I was already setup as a western arc install so there was some miss understanding on what equipment I could use. That has been corrected and I will not be paying the additional $99 for a second 722 to connect to 2 SD TVs.

    Thanks all for your input. I will be going with the 722, 612 and 625. Now to choose a dealer. Anyone have experience with Dishstore.net or Sattelite Solutions? I see Dishstore looks to be a Michigan company so living there a well I will most likely support my local community.

    Leave DirectTV - Receiver / Dish Question

    Leaving DirectTV - Receiver / Dish Question I give up...I am tired of the constant merry go round with DirectTV over the Redzone Channel. I don't want the Sunday Ticket it has become over priced. Last year after a lot of run around, I was given the DirectTV Redzone as a stand a lone item. I...

    Thanks, I am not just trying to duplicate what I have, it is not uncommon for 4 TVs to be going at once and at a minimum I need the ability to do so if only occassionally. It is also not uncommon that two shows need to be recorded at the same time while another is being watched. Lets just say...
