I've been a subscriber since 1997 and have 6 receivers activated on the account. I did not get the email giving the Max for free. I called in today for the second time and was not offered any sort of deal for ST by the initial customer service rep. So, I threatened to cancel my service and was...

I called the direct customer service line this morning and stated "billing question" when asked the reason for my call. I was transferred to a nice rep and I gave my spiel that I am a long time customer and interested in getting some billing credits as well as whatever deal is available for...

Called in today and talked to customer retention to get my Sunday Ticket deal. Here is my background -- Customer since 1997 Have 6 active receivers on the account not under contract choice package no premium channels currently, but I do typically sign up for HBO and keep it for a couple...

Thanks for all the updates. I usually end up with at least the Max for free. Recently it has taken a lot more patience, repeated calls and sweet talking than usual to get what I'm looking for even though I've been a subscriber since 1997 (Sunday Ticket every year and usually have at least HBO...

I've been a customer since 1997 and have 5 active receivers on the account. Already have whole home dvr service, but wanted to swap out an HD receiver for the Genie. Not under contract. I'm also a big football fan. I called in, threatened to cancel, and got forwarded to customer retention...

I'm not really sure how the RVU technology works. But, it is supposed to be as easy as wirelessly connecting the tv to the router for internet services.

Sony KDL-70R550A

Power inserter is inside the house, plugged in next to the receiver. As for PIP, that is one of the reasons I'm now very interested in the genie. I'd much rather avoid paying the extra cost for an extra receiver six months of the year. Ironically, I happen to have a new Sony tv that has...

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought too. So, I wonder why I have had trouble activating an additional receiver with a single tuner? During the fall and spring, I tried activating an additional receiver, hooking it up to my big screen and turning on PIP so that I could watch two games...

Greetings. It's been a while since I've posted here. But, I've always gotten good advice and info., so I thank you in advance for your remarks. I'd like to have a better handle on my options before I call customer retention and negotiate a deal. I currently have 5 Directv receivers...

I too had my HD access credit dropped this month after just one year. I called D* and the first person I spoke with said that it was taken off because I had received too many other unrelated programming credits in the last six months. That made absolutely no sense so I requested to talk with...

According to DirecTv's website, the D10,D11 and D12 are not compatible with whole home service, but the R22 you were able to purchase is compatible. I'll check it out and thanks for the tip about checking out the RID to make sure it is owned. The last thing I want to do is activate another...

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know that you could buy a previously owned receiver that is compatible with the new Whole Home service, now that DirecTv is going the leased route. I take it that I will have to find a receiver with an access card as well since I would have to return the...

I have two receivers hooked up to my big screen tv (an HD DVR and a standard receiver), mostly so that I can use the split screen to watch football in the fall. In the past, once football season was over, I would drop the standard receiver from the account until the next football season began...

I just called in and got the $20 credit for 6 months. It didn't take much effort at all. I simply mentioned that I have had the ticket since 1997, but that I was concerned about the escalating price. I also questioned whether my auto-renewal rate was really the "lowest price available" as my...

I called in and got the 2 year of HD access for free without any haggling. No 2 year extension of contract. (I already have autopay, which is no big deal as long as you take time to check your monthly bill to make sure it is accurate. A couple of months ago, there was a mystery receiver on my...

Does anyone know the range of the RF remote? I have two HD DVR's in different rooms (one upstairs and one downstairs) and wouldn't want my switching channels on the unit in the living room to accidentally change the channel on the unit my wife is watching in the bedroom. I have an RF remote on...

I got a "free" HD-DVR and free Super Fan I have had NFL Sunday Ticket since 1997 and the superfan package the last 2 years. When DirecTV switched from mpeg 2 to mpeg 4 last fall, they contacted me about the change and gave me a free HR20-700 HD-DVR and did a free install of the slimline dish...

Do I have a splitter? Yes, and no; but I don't think it is causing the problem. I have two receivers on my big screen. One is an old Ultimate TV that I keep around for watching football because it has picture in picture. The other receiver is my HR20-100. So, when I am watching the NFL...

Greetings. Long time reader, rare poster here. Last week a DirecTV installer came out and put up a slimline dish on my home. I have the HR20-100. I recieve all of the MPEG 2 channels without any problems. I also receive most of the new MPEG 4 HD channels. However, I am having a bit of...

D'oh! You are absolutely correct. Me no read so good. Sorry 'bout that. :)

I doubt that the NFL network games will be offered in HD as part of the Super Fan package. IIRC, the only games shown on the Sunday Ticket are the 1pm and 4pm games that are shown on Fox and CBS. The Sunday and Monday night games have never been part of the package, so I doubt that NFL...

I'm a 10 year subscriber to D* that finally upgraded to HD early last year. Man, that seems like a long time ago right about now. Back then, D* seemed like it was going to emerge as the true satellite leader in HD content. D* was in the midst of a huge ad campaign touting HD locals in my area...

Miami, Fort. Lauderdale, West Palm and Orlando will be getting HD-Lil right about the start of hurricane season. For D*'s sake, I hope that they won't be installing a bunch of these new dishes in vain. Hurricane Wilma ripped the dish right off my South Florida home last year and the local D*...

Looks like I need to change my morning drive time. I used to be able to head into work and listen to at least a 1/2 hour of O & A without them taking a break. (That's supposed to be one of the beauties of satellite radio. If the guys were really rolling on a topic, they stuck with it as long...
