    Does D* has any credibility left?

    As far as the original post. I've been a DTV user for 6 years and I've never had an issue, I've even been happy with my support calls! Count me as one that could care less about Travel or Fox News in HD, but I'm probably in the minority. I'll be happy when they are, but I'm not losing sleep...

    Adding HD DVR - Great CSR!

    I agree. I've re-upped so many times -- I don't care. I'm gonna be staying with D*, so what do I care if I get 2 years added to my commitment? People really do make a bigger deal out of this than is necessary :)

    About to order: a few quick questions

    What kind of Video in does the DVDR have? If you have S-Video in, you could still do it by running s-video out from the DVR to the DVDR.

    does d* ship hd-dvrs?

    I already had two HD DVR's and replaced our last SD DVR a week or so ago. They shipped it to us, so they do ship them. But, Jason is right -- you'll need a new dish for the new HD DVR. I'd just be patient and let them come do their job :)

    Dish Network: WHAT A NIGHTMARE! have no choice going with Directv.

    Our luck with D* installs has ALWAYS been good. They show up when promised and complete the work quickly. Sometimes the dates are 1 week to 10 days off, but they've shown when promised.

    NFL team RF Remotes from DirecTV

    The remote is IR and RF capable. By default it is IR. And yes, indeed, all other equipment except for the D* Receiver is controlled via IR. So, your setup will work the same as it does today out of the box (and after programming the remote). Then, you have the choice to turn on RF for the...

    Contacting Directv Via Email

    I usually get a response within 6-8 hours. I have always had good experience with their email, though others have not. Your mileage may vary.

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    And the only reason you know the link is because it was posted here. They weren't expecting people to know the link unless it came in an email... But, call and you will get something.

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    The free gifts are going to be valued at less than $100 ... 3 months free of Showtime is at the most $36 ... Why would you leave over that? If you read through this thread it's based on Anniversary month. When is yours? Perhaps I just don't get why so many people are upset about. be...

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    I came up as not eligible, but I have had the following in the last year: Free "premier" for 3 months, 2 HD DVR's for $99 each, free ST Superfan, and free HD Plus pack for 6 months ... So, I understand why I wasn't eligible. it should be noted that I didn't call and beg for anything, I simply...

    Sweet Sunday Ticket deal for me

    I got SuperFan free, but I've been a customer since 2003 and a ST subscrber since then. I just sent a nice little email and they replied quickly and courtesly. Can't hurt to ask!

    DirecTV DVR Options

    The Tivo Guide is far and away more useable to scroll multiple channels over a period of time. Can't be any qrguement on that. the DLB and the guide are what I miss the most. As far as "newbs" go, the Tivo was far easier for my kids and wife to use as well. Now, don't get me wrong, the...

    Hope for a Tivo-DIRECTV HD DVR?

    You can defintely do that no issue. What you can't do well is have a LIVE show on two active tuners and pause one and go watch the other until a commercial break and then switch back. That is what I miss the most :( There is a workaround, but it doesnt quiet work the same way.

    DirecTV HD box question

    That is a computer monitor, so he'll need something for the sound. Certainly possible, but he'll either need to run it thru powered speakers or a reciever :)

    DirecTV HD box question

    The DVI should work fine as long as you have something for sound obviously. You will need an HDMI to DVI convertor.

    Hope for a Tivo-DIRECTV HD DVR?

    I'm perfectly happy with my D* HD DVRs, but I'd much rather have a Tivo HD DVR that could do MP4 that worked on the D* network. For four simple reasons: 1. The two Active tuners mentioned. I used to watch two shows at once with little to no hassle. It rocked! 2. The Guide. I could see so...

    Discounted receivers for some customers

    My screen doesn't show it either, but I had just called last saturday because we have an older HD only box that needed to be replaced. I got an HD DVR for $99 and one for free to replace our old one. So, now all three of our TVs will have HD DVRs :) Not a bad deal at all.

    NFL team RF Remotes from DirecTV

    I ordered my Cowboys remote last Saturday and it came Wednesday. Just as everyone described, except on the back it says: Cowboys - World Champions - and lists their 5 superbowl wins. That was a nice touch. Overall seems slightly better quality then the normal remote. I happy with the...
