I know this has been discussed a ton on here but I am looking for some straight forward, simple advice. I have an HR24 DVR with MRV. I did not get the internet connection kit at install (didn't know it was an option). I tried plugging an ethernet cable from the DVR into my wireless access...

I am a little confused about the optional $25 install of internet service to the receivers when you order service. Is this required for the Whole Home DVR setup? I assumed that when they set up the WHDVR, it would have to include networking. Is this internet option something different? Or...

Thanks for the reply. I found an HR-21-100 for $75, and a HR20-700 for $50. The guy says he has verified with Directv that they are "clean" and ready to be activated. Any ideas if those are WH DVR capable?

I have taken the plunge and am coming back to Directv. But now I have a situation and a couple questions. I didn't realize the whole home dvr did not work with a standard receiver. Consequently, I ordered a hd dvr, hd receiver, and standard receiver, for nothing out of pocket. But my wife...

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

ah, but thats an easy one. We use our cell phones. No home phone. So the number would be different. I would think the address might set off some warnings, as well as the old dish on the roof, but whose to say we didn't get divorced and she wants her own account now. Who knows.

thanks for the replies. I just got the "come back" letter in the mail today, but I think it was an older flyer because it didn't mention the WH DVR or any equipment discounts. Just curious, how do they track "new" customers. Is it by address or by name/ssn? I was thinking, maybe I will...

I left DTV about a year ago. The lure of the Uverse whole home dvr was too much to resist. Well, now I see that D has the whole home dvr, and I am strongly considering a return. I have seen the awesome deals listed for new customers with the free WHDVR and other HD receivers, as well as the...

Thanks for the reply. No protection plan for me, that I know of. I will see if my wife requested it when she signed up. $75 is steep. I guess that doesn't surprise me. Thanks again...

We had some serious wind here in Ohio over the last day. It must have knocked my dish out of whack on the roof, because now some HD channels do not come in. I am getting low signal strength on the 99 c sat. So, my question is, if I call Directv and have them come out and adjust the dish...

its an older 52 inch Toshiba rear projection. 1080i capable. I checked the settings on the box (I am kind of ignorant about this stuff) and all the resolution boxes were checked, but I didn't see anything about "native", so I guess it isn't set for that. Is that preferable?

I am watching ESPN News HD, and the very edge of the left side of the picture is off the screen. There are stat boxes on the left side and I am missing the first letter or two of the words on that side. I have messed with picture size and all of that, but it still stays off. Does anyone else...

nope, no special tv needed. My parents have Uverse on their old 23 inch Zenith. Looks pretty good actually. Uverse isn't terrible. It just isn't as solid as Directv.

I didn't even try to keep it. I would have liked to, but I read about people who had to cancel their accounts completely and then start over with a completely new order and account number in order to separate the two. With my experience with ATT customer service, I decided I would rather just...

I switched from Directv to Uverse, and then back to Directv. My thoughts are this: The SD picture is better with Uverse. I was so impressed with the pic quality of standard Uverse. The Directv HD quality is better, in my opinion. Keep in mind I am not picky, and not an expert on anything...

I called on Friday last week and had it installed on Sunday morning. My neighbor called on thursday last week, and they came out Friday and installed it. So, yeah, 10 days seems kind of far out to me.

I was a longtime customer (since 2000 I think), but I left in February this year to try Uverse. I didn't like it, and just came back this week. I wonder if they will count my previous time with them, or if I start over from scratch? I kept the same account number and all of that, and they...

yeah, I know...it makes me sound old. But, yeah, I miss my local on the 8's. I guess I am getting old. :)

thanks for the replies, and the video. It looks ok. Gives the forecast, which is all I really need. I guess I will have it on my tv's without the Tivo, and maybe once the HD Tivo is out it will work with that. Thanks again...

I am back with Directv after making the mistake of trying Uverse. I just hooked up my Directv/Tivo Series 2 receiver (Samsung) in my family room, and turned on The Weather Channel, excited to see the new Local on the 8's. But I never see them. I don't even see the "national" version. I just...

Ok, this may be long and full of stupid, if so, I am sorry. But here is my story/question: I was a long time DTV subscriber. I had two of the DTV/TIVO units (I don't know the models, but they were basic, one made by DirecTV, the other by Samsung). I love TIVO, and had no issues with my...

My parents are current Time Warner Cable customers. They are switching over to Uverse with Vonage phone next week. The Uverse install is scheduled for next Sunday. The phone should be ready a few days after that. My questions are this: When you call to cancel TW, is that cancelation...

I quit DTV a few months ago to go to UVERSE and am sort of missing my dish. But, the price I get through Uverse is way too low to consider going back. I am just wondering if anyone has ever quit DTV and then was lured back by some kind of awesome deal? I keep waiting for the calls or the...

This may be a repeat, if so, I am sorry. Here is my situation: I currently have Time Warner Cable, but am a former Dtv customer. I loved my Dtv, but switched to cable in order to get the free HD receiver and local channels. But, I am sick of the poor picture quality with cable, and only...

Does anyone know what version of DVR is provided in the Ohio area through WOW? Thanks....
