    DISH to DirecTV Need Setup Recommendations

    Thanks Chip, I saw it over there, still not on DirecTVs site to include with order. My thinking at the moment is if the C31 is $40 and steals a tuner, I might as well pay $99 and get a HD receiver with a tuner.

    DISH to DirecTV Need Setup Recommendations

    Thanks Chip, read that yesterday and figured I better bite the bullet now since I dont want to wait then renew contract midway. ZandarKoad, the C31 would be an acceptable solution for the 5th bedroom, but I do not see it available now. Any...

    DISH to DirecTV Need Setup Recommendations

    If I select the SD for free now, and the installer runs cable to that room to that SD where there is no current cable drops, if I buy a H25 later and hook in that SDs place, will it work with the HR34 without modification to the cables and any modification to the account or contract? Looks like...

    unislick: sorry to highjack your post! Im looking at a HR34 and 3xHD receivers, but I have a 5th room I want to add a receiver at a later date. Im worried that if they put in SWM8 then I will have to replace the switch to add the additional receiver, but selecting that 5th receiver at purchase...

    HR21-700 dying, thinking of HR34+WH

    Ya I have no problem giving them $100-200 and signing another 2 years. But $600 is ridiculous since it would cost a new customer only $99. Really disappointed in that offer from both retention and customer advocacy. Doesn't seem they want to budge from that number and I cant wrap my head around...

    I have already talked to retention (as posted in original post) and their offer was $600. Do you recommend I call retention a 2nd time? Thank you for the welcome!

    I could go months without. I have Roku and Netflix alone could entertain me. However I couldnt take that gamble because my wife and kids would drive me NUTS.

    That didnt work either, email to mike.white was routed to Diann who restated no other offers would be made. DANG!

    HR21-700 dying, thinking of HR34+WH

    Well I talked with Diann ( eafilipiak@directv.com ) and she simply offered the same thing Retention did and nothing more. $600 from me. I emailed mike.white@directv.com this morning and havent heard back quite yet. Really getting stressed over all this! I really do not want to move to Dish! But...
