    DirecTV has crazy retention deals right now

    My call came about 3.5 hours before shut off, but I also called to schedule it that same day, so they wouldn't have had any advance notice of my cancellation as in your case.

    DirecTV has crazy retention deals right now

    Uh... so... nevermind. They just called me and offered $70 off for 12 months. :D I was literally on the check out page for my new streaming service when they called. And I usually don't answer numbers I don't recognize.

    DirecTV has crazy retention deals right now

    Crazy. I've been a customer for more than 14 years. I've called many times over the years to casually ask if I was in a contract, when my contract was over, etc. (never threatened to cancel as I never really wanted to)... I was ALWAYS offered some sort of discount to stop me from "thinking...

    With a Gene HD-DVR, can you do this?

    DoublePlay allows you to "actively watch" two different tuners. Watching one show, say "Football Game #1." You hit pause, then hit the down arrow and now you're on the second tuner, say "Football Game #2." Pause and hit the down arrow and you're back to where you left off on Football Game #1...

    With a Gene HD-DVR, can you do this?

    No, I'm fairly certain not. You could accomplish this with DoublePlay, but you wouldn't need to start recording in that case either.

    We're baaaa-aack

    Welcome back. Agreed that Mediacom is the absolute worst. I've never had their cable, but have always hated their internet. Glad CenturyLink fiber service was available when we moved back to the DSM area this summer.

    A couple receiver problems

    This is the HR20-700. Is there a best way to tell which dish I have? Not at the house now, but could probably recall some details.

    A couple receiver problems

    Yep, a few details I missed. This is a new install as a result of the mover's program. SL3 dish. Everything was working just fine until a few days ago.

    A couple receiver problems

    Hi All, Experiencing a couple (possibly related) issues this week, hoping someone has thoughts... Setup: HR54-700, C61K-700, HR23, HR22, HR20 First issue. I went to use the HR20 the other day to find 771 error. Did lots of things... swapped receiver locations, swapped DECA units, and nothing...

    possible to copy recordings from hr-24 ?

    I assume the HR units have to be active to view the recordings? I remember the old HR10-250 TiVo units didn't have to be active to view recorded content.

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    Figured. My kids love to set up random crap to record regardless of where they happen to be watching TV at the time. I'd love to train them to record that stuff to a particular receiver if functionality allowed.

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    I assume that it's still the case that there are no receivers that will allow you to select which receiver in your whole-home setup you want to record a program to?

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    Thanks everybody... this has been really helpful. One more question... What's the story on GenieGo? Again, don't know much about it, and I think it's because I was under the impression that it was only for Genie owners, but it doesn't look like that's the case (ugh). But is it currently...

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    Fair point. Are minis charged the same monthly as the HRs? Or are there any additional costs associated with the Genie?

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    Thanks guys. For now only planning on the four, but will likely expand down the road somewhere. So is it fair to say that I only want/need the minis if I have space constraints or just generally want to get rid of the old equipment?

    New Equipment/Genie Question

    Hey all, Quick (maybe?) question for everyone. Every time I call D* for something, they always ask about my interest in an equipment upgrade, and I always decline because I just haven't been ready. Now I'm moving (for real), and this is probably a good time to take the Genie leap. So I...

    Genie Upgrade Question

    OK, thanks guys. I'll have to verify with them, because I'm certain she told me I wouldn't be subject to additional commitment. It's what kept me from saying "no thanks" immediately, as I imagine I can talk them into free with commitment any time. I have SWM now, but believe it's SWM-8, not...

    Genie Upgrade Question

    Hi All, I've been a customer for over 11 years, and I used to either have or at least be up to speed on the latest equipment but for some reason I've really stopped paying attention over the past few years. Anyway, I was on the phone with a rep the other day for a programming question and she...

    MLB Package

    Ditto. Tried a couple days ago and I was shut down. Got a few other credits and discounts, but they wouldn't touch EI.

    My first 2 year agreement is over...Now what?

    Do whatever works for you. I've always had good luck with calling up and asking, "can you tell me if I'm currently under agreement?" knowing all too well that my agreement is up. After answering my question, it is always followed with "Do you mind me asking why?" Well, let me tell you about...

    Wishlist

    This would be a longshot, but I'd like to see the ability to transfer recordings from one DVR to another. I'm down to 12% free on one of my DVRs, so would like to offload some stuff to one of the others.

    Where'd the double-dash go?

    This is kind of a stupid question, but since the new HD GUI downloaded, I've lost the functionality where if I hit the dash button twice it would delete a recording from the list without having to confirm. Did they completely get rid of this? Since that's the only way I've EVER deleted a...

    Wireless Cinema Connection Kit Question

    I have the Wireless CCK, and everything works great (including WHDVR and on-demand). It was a pain to get, though. Took three calls to customer service. They kept claiming I needed new/different hardware, another claimed I needed to have it professionally installed (even though it says...
