As other folks have pointed out. All it takes is the right rep. After a month of calling in, being escalated, etc. I just decided to start calling in randomly. One day I reached a rep, she was like "oh yeah let me add on demand back now. okay it should work now." Seconds later, it was fixed...

Thanks. Sorry, I wasn't that clear. I did do on online "refresh" or or "re authorize" last night. To no avail. I called back in to Directv and after 45 minutes they are escalating the issue.

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I did leave out what I have done so far. I have reset the receivers and went online and did a receiver refresh last night. Sadly no luck. I have heard rumors of that they have to re authorized the box for VOD...

This just started happening. I subscribe to HBO and when watching/taping live TV everything is fine. When I go to HBO On Demand on my receiver (any of them) and select a recording I get "would you like to add this channel to your directv package?" I called Directv and tech support told me...

So the job was done. Went pretty well. Got swm 8 module installed. The installers panicked and forced firmware updates, even though I assured them they had just been updated and even though the screen clearly stated that the account was not authorized for MRV. While they were waiting, I...

okay...so the receiver arrived. i called in and activated it and requested mrv. of course, since i don't have any bbcs laying around, the hr24 isn't much good to me until the swm setup is in place but i feel better having it on the record. the charge was the expected $99 + tax which came to...

Just a quick follow-up. I ordered the HR24 from Overstock. I guess I should activate it when it arrives, even though I don't have the BBCs and then order MRV so that they setup the order correctly for my new count of receivers? Otherwise, they'll show up with the wrong work order, won't they?

Thanks! I would planning on going thru Solid Signal, but Overstock is much better!

Okay, so I was doing the beta MRV like everybody else. Unlike most of you here, I wasn't aware that MRV was going to become a paid service, but I found that out the hard way yesterday. As I understand it, if I go the DECA/SWM route I will pay $99 equipment and maybe a $50 install fee to have...

I heard somewhere that HBO prices on demand differently than SHO, Starz, etc. Was it that the provider had to pay extra w/ HBO while the others didn't cost the provider any more? The gist of it was the HBO was more costly to offer and Directv wasn't gonna do it.

jay, that does work, but it's a pain: the tv draws a nice bit up juice each time it powers back up (the lights flicker a bit) and there is a pause before the picture returns to the screen (just like most sony's do). also, what if i want to study something under the pause bar? i...

i've got a crt projection tv and the "pause bar" on my 622 has started to burn into the screen. sometimes i'll pause the tv over 10 - 20 minutes and over the course of the year is seems to have slowly burned in a rectangular box. you can only see the box on a light colored background, but it...

I'm fiddling around with the 36" dish that my friend gave to me. The problem is that it has a rectangular rather than d-tube lnbf arm. I installed an I adaptor to mount the dish pro lnbf, but I didn't see the signal gain that I was expecting. Is there a chance that because the i-adapter...

thanks we camp near eugene. the sf locals work great in the summer, but in the winter it just isn't happening. since it does work in the summer i figured a bigger dish might pull it in in the winter? it's not a huge deal as we don't camp that many days, but it is nice to have the option...

My wife and I use our RV quite a bit and have up until now used distant locals when travelling to Oregon. Now that the distants have gone away, I have two options as I see it: I can get the waiver and pay the $ to NPS or I can spend a few bucks on an experiment... Here's my proposal...

My $10 credit just showed up, so we're all square. I hope that Portland is able to do something this season!

Taxes? I wondered about that, but I don't think that I've ever paid taxes on League Pass before.

Updated: Now I've got scans of the letter and recent activity from my dish account There must be some error on their system. I just got my letter today and the special is $30 off $199. The 3 pay plan is supposed to be $56.34 not $59.66. Odd, isn't it? I've attached scans/screen shots of the...

Just looked at the recent activity on my bill and I was charged 59.66 on 8/31 for the first installement on the NBA package. Looks like the 2006-2007 season will be $179

Okay, so that installer was highly incompent. For over 1/2 an hour he was telling me that my 622 was bad. He went a got a non dvr receiver, fiddled around for another 1/2 an hour and all 3 satellites came in. He said tha proved it was my receiver and was ready to leave. I said wait, let's...

he's repointing the 148 to 129. but we have other problems. he can get 119 but not 110. i told him that it all worked fine yesterday on my 510. he's disassembed everything and putting it back. now he's trying a different receiver to see if it is my 622. it doesn't make any sense! i don't...

thanks for the quick replies! i feel better!

Hi, The dish tech is here installing my new 622 and he is linking it to 110, 119 and 129. I used to have 110, 119 and 148. He says that I no longer need 148. I though I needed it for certain local stations in the SF Bay Area. Is it true that 129 will fully mirror all that I had on 148?

followup so yesterday i reported that they made my appt for 3/28, was told the lease fee is $5 mo and explained the 299 fee and then charged my card for 49.99 for no apparent reason. i called in today and i got a new rep. she said that yesterday's rep had signed me up for a single tuner...

Live in the Bay Area, Cali and I was told that the earliest install was March 28. The also said that I had the $299/$1 hold, but now when I login to my account I see that I have a $49.99 credit card payment on my account. What's that about?
