    DirecTV vs Uverse

    I have both ATT Uverse and DirecTV. I use Uverse for my internet and DirecTV for viewing. For internet, Uverse is hard to beat (ok, maybe fios). But for TV it sucks. I have very few issues with rain fade on my DirecTV. It works well except in the worst of storms (located in TX so we get a lot...

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    Well, I learned what not to do. I decided to try a restart with the 0-2-4-6-8 trick to reload the software. It rolled me back to 0x57b. Now the crappy black at the bottom of the screen during pause or skip is back. Guess I have to wait not for directv to send me the updated software again.....

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    When I go to Menu - Extras, all I see are 7 icons: Messages, Active, Game Lounge, TV Apps, Music&Photos, Caller ID and ShowRoom. There is nothing on the screen referencing Pandora or any code?? By the way, I did try multiple reboots but that did not help.

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    I have had the new HD GUI for a while now. I just got the latest software 0x59e on my HR24 about a week ago. My wife was the first to turn it on after receiving the update and a message came up mentioning Pandora and the Power Saving feature. She is not sure exactly what it said. Now, a week...

    DirecTV HD GUI Poll - Do You Like The New DirecTV HD GUI?

    New HD GUI

    I received a "tvmail" mesage on my receiver from Directv welcoming me to tnew guide. Problem is i have the old guide. Tried a restart, still get the old guide. Strangely after the restart my tvmail message is now gone.

    Another E* Customer considering the swith to D*

    I do plan to cancel the free HBO/Cinemax before 3 months is up as I never watch these anyway. As I read the bill, it should then remain at $61. I do not see the $9.96 credit in my bill anywhere. The credits I am getting now (disregarding the free HBO) are .. $10 for HD Access (I am assuming I...

    Another E* Customer considering the swith to D*

    I just switched form E* to D* last week. I have 3 HD TVs and only had one HD receiver with E*. No really good discounts to upgrade so I made the switch. Here are the details: * I went with the Choice Xtra as it was similar to what I had with Dish except I no longer get the encor channels...

    Dish Commercials Very LOUD!

    Has anyone heard any updates on this issue? It does not seem like Dish wants to fix this. My wife is starting to ask if we should move to DirecTV of Uverse (funny how certain things like this bother certain people - of course at times it blows so loud through the stereo you can hear the...

    WANTED: Your Thoughts on DISHONLINE.COM

    1) On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best) what do you rate DISHONLINE.COM as far as its overall rank. 1 - THe part where it connects to my reciever only works about 1% of the time (have a 622) even though my receiver shows all is well. Have a feeling it has something to...

    Dish Commercials Very LOUD!

    Has anyone else noticed that the dishnetwork injected commercials are about 30% higher in volume than the regular commercials? I think they have always been a little louder, but in the last month or two it has really become annoying. I have a 622 reciever and anytime a dishnetwork commercial...

    99 cent VOD movies

    I watched one of these movies last night. To me this is a good deal and is on par with Redbox and Netflix pricing. Sorry Dish, but I cannot imagine anyone paying $6.99 for DVD quality on demand movies (just my opinion, but dish HD movies are not quite bluray quality). Keep this .99 deal up and...

    HR24 vs. VIP722

    So from a "non dvr" receiver, it seems clear that you could pause a recorded show, but what about a live show. By this I mean, can I pause a live show on a non-dvr receiver? I am considering a switch to Directv and this solution really works good for me, assuming the pause function is availabe...

    How many Remotes do you have on your coffee table

    One logitech harmony on our coffee table. The others stay put up behind the tv and most have no batteries. Every few months, my uncle comes down and he has dish network. He wants the old dish remote becuase he has all the buttons memorized so I have to dig it out and load it with batteries...

    future receivers? support 2 HDTV's?

    $3 a month...how? They want me to pay for the receiver plus the extra monthly receiver fee. I am looking at Directv now, as they are implementing sharing of DVR recordings. With that I could get 2HD DVRs and 2 HD recievers all networked together. Since I have 3 HDTVs in my house and 1...

    Receiver Suggestions

    Thanks KKlare. I will see what dish will sell me a 722 for. I am also looking at switching over to DirecTV and getting their upcoming multi-room viewing. This would really solve my issue as I could get two HD DVRs and One HD reciever and share the content from the DVRs. Just been with Dish so...

    Receiver Suggestions

    Hi All, I need some suggestions on getting an additional receiver. I currently have a 622 that drives my HDTV in my living room and my second TV in my bedroom (TV2). I also have a 625 which supplies a TV in my gameroom and then feeds another bedroom TV (TV2). I have no put an HDTV in my...

    DishONLINE Download Speed

    I have to go with Scott on this one. The DishOnline is such a pain to use and is way too expensive. Guess that is why I bought a blu-ray player that has built in Netflix streaming. With Netflix, you go online and build up your instant watch queue and then it shows up on your dvd player (xbox and...

    ESPN classic now green in my guide ?

    Just noticed this as well and of course jumped on this site to see what was going on (great site). Anyway, I watch ESPN Classic about about as much as I watch the Home Shopping Network so no big loss for me. The real question now is should Dish change their programming package names...

    DIRECTV Premieres 'Pirate Radio' More Than A Month Before DVD Release

    If they charge as much for PPV as Dishnetwork, they should show it at the same time it is in the theaters.

    DVR Viewing throughout entire home?

    I have been waiting for years for a similar solution. Instead, Dish works on Mickey Mouse crap like a touchpad remote control. Give me a break..... I have my bedroom hooked up via coax to my 622. I now have an HD TV in my bedroom. I either would like a tuner two HDMI output (not a long run), a...

    WB/Netflix delayed rental agreement

    Personally I am getting a little tired of Netflix anyway. Seems like every movie I want has a long delay anyway. I am about to the point of dropping them and just using Redbox. I can get online and see if a title is available at any of 3 locations within a mile or so of me. Hard to beat that $1...

    New Dish 922 Spec Sheet

    Wow, this looks like a complete "give up" by Dish just to get a new reciever out. I see nothing here that makes this reciever any better than my 622 with my slingbox. Why even bother when they could just box a 722 with a slingbox and include a hookup diagram? Maybe I am the only one, but I am...

    HD Stutter

    I had this happen a couple of times on my 622. Since I am in dual- mode I dont use the swap/pip. My solution was to reboot my reciever. Basically just open the little door on the front, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and it will shut down. I think you then have to hit power one...
