    New Timer did not DVR in HD

    New Dish user here. I've scheduled some Timers. One last night was Fear the Walking Dead. I go to watch it from the DVR listing, and it does not show in HD. If I go to that channel in live TV, it is HD. What's up with this? I did not see anything in the Timer options to not record in HD. This is...

    DirecTV to Dish?

    Longtime DirecTV customer here. I like the service and features, but am really getting tired of the $140+ monthly charge. That is with a Genie, 3 wireless clients, HD, Whole-Home DVR, and protection plan. Program package is the middle option, XTRA. That's with no premium channels, which we do...

    Upgrade equipment?

    I have the HR44 Genie and wireless clients. Have had this setup for a couple of years now. I pay extra for the support plan, and the last time I talked to them they said I could get upgraded equipment for free. My question is what is the new box I would get and how much of an upgrade would it...

    Bill rant

    I've had DirecTV for quite some time now. I've always just paid the bill and never questioned anything, so not sure why it's bothering me so much as of late, perhaps I'm just getting more frugal with where my money is going as I get older. But some of this stuff does not make sense. I would...

    Genie install

    I currently have 4 DVR's, and getting a Genie installed on Wednesday. Just wondering how the install works for these? Will any additional lines need to be run to the Genie box? And would I be able to move it to a different room later if I wanted to? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4

    Accessing other DVR's from currently viewed DVR

    We have 4 DVR's in the house. While I am watching in the living room, is it at all possible somehow to view things such as the To Do list on the other DVR's? This would be very beneficial. Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2

    Local channels

    The last three nights Fox has not been broadcast in HD. So the American Idol finale was not in HD!!! I've just emailed the local affiliate and DirecTV. Anyone know of any issues going on with Fox besides them sueing Dish, which shouldn't have anything to do with this. It would also be nice too...

    Free Local 72 Swap

    I think that is what it was called. Got an email today about my locals being switched to a new satellite. So I called them. I currently have a D10, R10, R15, and HR20. I get to keep my HR20 and they said they will be sending HD replacements for the other 3. I'll be getting a HD receiver and 2...

    HR20 issue with DVR

    So a week ago, I have about 27% free space remaining. One day I notice it is down to about 15%. I know for a fact that many new programs were not recorded. I keep a close eye on what is on there. I come home today and it is up to 37%. What gives? While writing this, I did have a thought. I think...

    Dish Network Receivers

    I have a DVR510, 3 301's, and the 500 dish itself. I don't know what my best option would be. The 510's have been going for slightly over $100 with what I think is high shipping. But then I would have the auction fees with that. If someone makes a good enough offer here, I think I would rather...
