    Name a channel/channels you want DirecTV to add...

    PIXL please!! My wife loves this channel. We were so disappointed to find out Direct did not offer it. More clean family programming is needed.

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    I received a letter from DTV asking me to comeback. It said I was to receive NFL ticket 2015, reduced pricing on the ultimate package, AND a $200 Visa Prepaid Card. When I called the rep and he said the $200 Visa Prepaid Card offer was no longer available for my account even though the...

    Adding a referral for an upgrade

    How can Dish get away with saying "free ipad mini" when you sign up as a new customer? If I opt for the discounted prices, no ipad mini--seems fishy and illegal to me.

    Making switch from directv but question about 120 package

    Just tell her to get a paper route if she wants those two channels. Just kidding of course, but my wife and I end up solely watching six or seven channels (ESPN, FOX Sports, Hallmark, Hallmark movie, Inspiration, and locals). What a waste of money to pay for the channels we do not watch.

    Will I keep HD for Life?

    So what if I sign up for Dish today (presently with Direct)? Will I still qualify for the HD for life? I just want to save money but want/need some sports channels in HD. Brad

    Considering switch from Dish to Xfinity - talk me down?

    That is exactly the move that I am planning!! Right now I pay $190 for Direct TV and phone/internet with Century Link. I hope to lower that to around $110 with Dish/Comcast internet/Ooma.

    "On Demand" feature kills my internet connection with 2-HR24's and MRV

    I have two HR24's with the MVR whole house connection. Recently the Direct TV system is causing my internet connections through my router to fail. When the "On Demand" feature is connected to the router the whole internet connection fails. If I unplug the "On Demand" cable from the router...

    Internet connection slows to a crawl when I turn the DTV receiver and TV on.

    ]I tried unplugging everything and then powering all items up, one at a time, but it did nothing. We do have an error code showing up on the DVR downstairs: 71-73-705.

    Internet connection slows to a crawl when I turn the DTV receiver and TV on.

    We recently had 2 Hr24's installed with the whole house connection. The installer connected the whole house black box (with the three blinking lights) to our router upstairs and then connected it between the two tv's with coax cable. The connection has worked fine for three weeks, but all of...

    Costco $180 cash card for Direct TV signup

    Worked absolutely perfect for me--received the gift card in the mail about four weeks after signing up. Be sure to get the $100 referral money too, if you use the Costco link to make the referral from. I took advantage of both offers. The referral can be gained from a friend who has Direct...

    DirecTV could lose G4 (Removed 11-1)

    I loved tech tv at the time it was airing. G4 has never got my attention. Of course I am older computer newbie.

    DirecTV2PC Oh My!

    As far as the video driver, you may just be able to update your card with the most recent driver. That is what my son did. Our experience with the TV2C is great so far. The only downside is that if you are watching a recorded program on the computer, your wife cannot watch a recorded program on...

    Add Me To The Party!!!

    I have had dish since their initial introduction. Switched to cable a couple of time when we moved, but always came back to dish. My wife was disappointed in the dual tuner receiver and now we are happy customers of direct tv as of Saturday, Oct 2, 2010. Brad

    More questions (sorry)

    Just got my dual HR24's installed today and things went as smooth as silk. When he was all done, the installer warned my sons, not to install or attach an ethernet cable to any of the receivers. The DECA works great. Yes, D* will reimburse you for your cancellations fees from Dish. So...

    Costco incentive

    Will I get new receivers if I order Direct TV through Costco? I noticed the shipping and handling if free--do they ship them to my house? Could I just return them if I do not get the HD DVR receivers I want before installation? thanks, Brad

    DISHSTORE NOW OFFERS DIRECTV!

    If I order Direct Tv from the dishstore, will I be guaranteed a new HR24 and can I get the customer referral? Any other rebates?

    Customer Referrals on Direct TV--do they still exist?

    Now that I know there are still referrals being paid, is it better to order online with direct tv, or sign up with best buy to get the additional hd receiver for free? Will either option allow me to get the referral discount? I am hesitant to sign up online with direct because there is no...

    Customer Referrals on Direct TV--do they still exist?

    I want to move from Dish to Direct and wondered if Direct TV still offers referral discounts. I am planning on using my neighbor as a referral so we can both get the $10 off for 10 months. Just wondering if the discount still exists? Thanks, Brad

    Is the Direct TV menu and Dvr still clunkier than Dish?

    By that I mean, I always hear that with Direct TV it is much more difficult to navigate the menu programs and scheduling with the DVR than it is with Dish. Is the latest HD DVR an improvement in that area or is it still lagging behind Dish with regards to ease of use and speed? Thanks, Brad

    Looking Into Majic Jack (Questions)?

    Personally, I would go with Ooma. There are absolutely no monthly charges and you get unlimited long distance. You have to make sure you buy one of the older models that do not require a montly charge. I have one and it is great. Brad

    Former Dish Net / New Customers Read This

    I want to be certain we receive the new box HR24 on our new install. Most people say if I call DTV directly there is no guarantee on getting the latest and greatest. Is there a way I can definitely get the new receiver? I will order the service from the Dishstore, here on satellite...

    Wanting to get HDTV to both TV's with DVR

    Thanks so much for the nice bullet point presentation of the costs for each provider. It makes the decision a little easier with the information given. I will be sticking with Dish and probably will be getting either a 622 or a 722 depending upon the difference in price. Thanks again, Brad

    Wanting to get HDTV to both TV's with DVR

    Sounds like some good options. The main thing I want, is to be able to record/watch HD channels downstairs separately from anything we have upstairs. Our present 622 receiver is fine for upstairs. My wife tapes nearly every "preaching" show imaginable upstairs, which is fine, but we...

    Wanting to get HDTV to both TV's with DVR

    Thanks for all the help guys. I should have been a little clearer. My oldest son, who has a disability will be using the HDTV downstairs most of the time. Consequently, we cannot just run a cable downstairs to the Pioneer (which does not have a HDMI port). We will probably have to lease...
