    Thanks! Monthly rental fee for the modem they supply is $10 a month.

    TV and Internet Options

    Thanks. I checked and the $54.99 is for a one year contract. I'm assuming like AT&T I'd have to re-negotiate after that? Is there a certain modem/router that is recommended with the 75 Mbps from Xfinity? They have a list of approved ones on their page: Netgear C7800 ARRIS SBG7580-AC ASUS...

    TV and Internet Options

    Thanks all for the feedback and advice. To answer a few of the questions: 1. We have had DIRECTV for close to 15 years now. In the beginning the customer service was excellent. I would call in with a question and be connected to a knowledgeable employee in the United States. Now every time...

    TV and Internet Options

    Thanks dishrich. I didn't know I could connect both Xfinity and DIRECTV/DISH to the same TV. The one other thing I failed to mention is they want $60 to install!?!?! Neither DISH nor DIRECTV charge anything to install and they have to install a dish!

    TV and Internet Options

    We currently have AT&T/DirecTV and our contract for the TV is up in a week. Ideally I would love to change to Xfinity as DirecTv's customer service is horrible (ever since they got bought out by AT&T), they constantly keep trying to raise our rates, the On Demand selection is terrible and the...

    Questions on Cord Cutting

    Thanks. I already checked with DISH and they want more than what I'm paying for DirecTV.

    Questions on Cord Cutting

    I hoping to get some advice on cord cutting as I know little about the process and what is offered. We currently have DirecTV and I am tired of the constant price increases and haggling I have to do with them to get a decent price. This has become even worse since AT&T bought them. That being...

    Dish install tomorrow - questions/requests?

    We have our Dish install scheduled for tomorrow (thanks everyone for the help getting it setup). Are there any specific questions/requests I should make when the installer comes out (I believe it will be a internal technician)? Currently we have DirecTV with the dish mounted to the side of our...

    Hopper/Joey Questions

    How do the two hoppers work? For example if I am watching TV on one hopper can is see programming that I have recorded on another? I can I see the content of both hoppers from the TV connected to the joey? Also, if I go through a local store, will they still be able to offer me the referral...

    Hopper/Joey Questions

    Actually, I was told by the DIRT rep I've been working with that they can't do a 2 hopper and one joey install (2 hopper and 2 joey is the lowest install). He said I could buy a hopper on my own and have it activated, but I would imagine that could be kind of expensive. Looks like I'm stuck...

    Hopper/Joey Questions

    Thanks. Just to clarify, if Ihave only one Hopper we could watch TV on all three channels, watch TV on 2 TVs and record something, watch TV on one TV and record two channels, or record three channels, correct? If we just get one hopper and two joeys can we buy another Hopper later (like on...

    Hopper/Joey Questions

    I just placed an order for a DISH installation this coming Saturday (previously had DirecTV) and am trying to understand how Hoppers and Joeys work. Currently we have a HR-20, HR-21 and HR-24 (not a whole house system). We are a family of four (two adults-two kids). Will one Hopper and two...

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    I talked to the DIRT rep and he said that I could not order two hoppers and no joeys. We juast have standard HD DVRs with Directv and they seem adequate. We just delete material as we are finished.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    What is a troll? Are you trying to accuse me of something?

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks. That makes more sense. Does it matter though since I don't have any equipment? And if I were to go with all hoppers instead of joeys, what is the price difference?

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    I guess I don't understand how the hooper and joey work exactly. Can you please explain.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks. I kind of thought it was a bad idea too. I think we are going to just take the deal with Dish unless Directv makes us a better deal (which I doubt) when we cancel. Thanks for all the help!

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Another option I've read, is it possible for me to cancel our Directv service under my name and then sign up again with my wife's name? Has anyone tried this?

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Would I be able to cancel the install with Dish then though? And if I call ahead of time to cancel Directv, we'll be without TV until the install, correct?

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks. Anything I should know before I cancel Directv? I confirmed via email with them that we are not under contract.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Going forward, what is the best way to sign up for service? I have been speaking to a DIRT rep on here and he has quoted me prices. Can I go through him? Should I sign up online? I spoke to a rep through chat yesterday and I wasn't very impressed.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks. Both TVs are HD so I don't think we want to go that route.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks Scherrman! So these fees would be in addition to the $53.99/$78.99 or included in it? I believe those prices were for two HD tvs and he said each additional HD tv would be another $7.

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    Thanks Tampa8. So it sounds like I'll get all the local pro games in HD, correct? The reason we want to leave Directv is that we have the very basic Family package. We would like to get ESPN, SyFy, and FX (just to name a few). These are not included in our current package. The next package...

    Switch from Directv to Dish

    We currently have been customers of Directv for over 5 years and are no longer under any sort of contract. While we have been fairly happy with Directv, we are not happy with the packages/pricing (we currently have the family package). We would also like a whole house system. We are...
