    Can't Log In To DirecTV iPad App After Changing Account Password

    OK. I figured out a convoluted way to fix my problem. First, I deleted the DirecTV app from my iPad. Then I did an iCloud backup of everything. I then erased my iPad's contents and restored it from a previous, two month old backup. When I clicked on the DirecTV app, it then worked fine!

    Can't Log In To DirecTV iPad App After Changing Account Password

    After changing my DirecTV account password, I am no longer able to log in to the DirecTV App on my iPad. It says "Incorrect email/password combination" when I try to log in. I called DirecTV. They passed me around to three different people, none of whom had an answer other than to change my...

    WHIO not working

    DirecTV has now turned on the CBS East feed (Channel 390) for those of us in the WHIO-TV area. An excellent solution. Thanks DirecTV!

    Why does FOX HD look the best out off all the hd channels

    That's an interesting observation. On Sunday I was watching the afternoon football game and the Emmy awards on my local Fox affiliate in HD via OTA antenna. I remember thinking to myself how good both of those programs looked.

    HR20 and OTA

    I'm just curious to know why the OTA tuners were not enabled? I'm assuming there were technical reasons, but what were they?

    Got the Protection Plan

    My DirecTV statement shows $5.99 for the protection plan. I have two HR10-250s. It used to be 7.99 until DTV adjusted their prices a few months ago.

    Dayton, OH: Are SA8300 DVRs Redily Available?

    Over the past few months I've read comments about the 8300 HD DVR being in short supply in the Dayton, Ohio area. Is this still the case? Also, if I sign up with TWC can I be assured of getting an 8300 and not the older 8000? Thanks!

    The Cellular Connection: Anyone Have Experience With This Dish Retailer?

    The Cellular Connection is a Dish and cellular phone company with stores in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Their web site states "...Unlike most DISH retailers, we employ our own group of installers and service personnel." I thought that the same group of Dish authorized installers is used in a...

    Can I activate the 622 myself and cancel the installer?

    So there's no "Installer's Secret Code" that we need to know about?

    Getting A Good Installer (Dayton, OH): Does It Matter Where I Order My Installation?

    I have the option of ordering a Dish install from Dish online, various online dealers, Radio Shack, or a regional communications company that is a Dish affiliate. Would I get the same installer no matter where I order service, or is there some way to determine a good local installer and to make...

    [TWC] South Dayton Ohio subs: How does the HD look? Are analog channels acceptable?

    Tony ...yep, Im very close to the towers and can pick up the Dayton locals over the air using a coat hanger! I want to be able to record in Hi Def though, so that's why I'm asking about the DVR.

    [TWC] South Dayton Ohio subs: How does the HD look? Are analog channels acceptable?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I really appreciate it! One more question for you: do any of you have the HD DVR? If so, how do you like it? Is it the 8000 or 8300 model?

    [TWC] South Dayton Ohio subs: How does the HD look? Are analog channels acceptable?

    I'm about ready to pull the trigger and switch to TWC from satellite. I'm a big high def fan and am wondering what you all think of the HD picture quality here in the South of Dayton area. Also, are the channels that are still analogue very noisy? Thanks!

    Quick question about HD

    I don't believe you can connect your cable TV lline to the antenna in. You can connect the line to an external, over-the-air antenna though.

    Anybody order a 622 recently? Might want to wait until 4/1/06

    I hope this isn't a stupid comment, but I'm wondering why everyone is saying that their 622 needs to be installed. I have DirecTV, not Dish, although I'm thinkng about switching to Dish. Whenever I get a new DirecTV receiver I just hook it up myself and call to get it authorized. Why do the Dish...

    Why can't I get 2 HD-DVR's as a new customer?

    If I were to become a new customer, Dish would limit me to just 1 HD-DVR in my initial order. WHY? When I spoke to them, they said they would include one 622 for an upgrade fee of $299.00 (which is fine with me), but if I wanted a second 622 I'd have to order one from a dealer. Well, that's...

    Those Who Have Switched From DTV to Dish: Any Regrets?

    I've been a DirecTV subscriber for many, many years. I'm considering switching to Dish, mostly for the additional HD channels available. The new 622 HD DVR looks really nice, as well. I'm wondering if others out there who have made the switch have any regrets, or are happy with the change. I...
