    Grace period?

    I called Dish and complained that I did not get what was promised by dish.com - a free Hopper 3 if you have three or more TVs plus excellent credit and I have both. I had to talk to two representatives but both instided that I have to pay $150 for the upgrade. I pointed out that I feel that Dish...

    Grace period?

    Picture quality does not seem to be in pair with dtv. We have hard time adjusting to just three tuners, never had watching and recording conflict with DIRECTV and we have three TVs. The service appears to go out more often than dtv, even small storms seem to be a problem with dish. There are...

    Remote lag

    Switched from Dish about one month ago and the Genie remote lag is already getting on my nerves. Sometimes I have to press a button multiple times just to get it to display something. Disabled scroll effects but it is still slow. Not even talking about clients, these are totally unacceptable...

    Well I am thinking about switching too. Can an external USB hard drive be added to Genie to expand storage capacity? Can I watch live TV over the Internet with Genie?

    Sports pack, OTA, whole house DVR

    On directv web site when I go to Sports - Soccer there is bunch of listed soccer channels numbered 477-490. According to the web site most of these channels are available with CHOICE or above package and the remaining ones are part of Sports Pack. However, these channels are not listed on...

    Sports pack, OTA, whole house DVR

    Thinking about switching to Directv and I have few questions: 1. Can sports pack be added to any package? On their web site I picked choice extra and added sports pack but then I was automatically upgraded to premier package, don't know why. I don't want premier package. 2. Does their hd dvr...

    Can I move recordings from 622 to 722?

    I was thinking about activating an external hard drive then move my recordings from 622 to the external HD, and then watch these recordings on my new 722. Can the same external hard drive be effectively used on more than one DVR?

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    Because second and third CRS knew nothing about the deal.

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    If your homework was done fairly then you'd also include that I was willing to pay $100 for second HD DVR or $50-60 for SD DVR. Neither was an option when I talked to them. Instead, they said I'll get it for free after three months. Regardless of how much I was willing or should pay, the two...

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    1. I own a house but I paid 0 dollars upfront fee. And I can still sell it whenever I want. :D 2. I get paid for using the Internet which is free. I am in my office now. :up I am not against Directv. I'm just saying throw away 200 dollars for somehting everyone can get for free elsewhere?

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    Yeah. Why would I pay 199 for somehting that will NEVER be mine and then pay 5-6 bucks lease fee for many years to come? I'd say that Directv wants my money for nothing. If I have to pay 200 bucks for it then I want to be able to sell it whenever I want.

    Signed up for Dtv yesterday, canceled today :(

    Yesterday I called Dtv and signed up for one free HD DVR + one free SD receiver for my second TV AND a promise that after three months I can get another free HD DVR (or any other advanced receiver) for my second TV. Good deal but I was suspicious about the second free HD DVR so I called this...

    Signed up today, few questions

    I am leaving Dish and going to Directv. I've already signed up and scheduled the installation for next week. However, CRS couldn't answer or partially answered some questions so I'd like to hear from you guys: 1. Does Directv HD DVR has built in an HD OTA tuner? 2. Since I have two HD TVs...

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    It's not about distance. It would be much easier to relocate dish 1000 then to run cable from 61.5 dish. Plus, I like current dish 1000 location because it cannot be seen at all from the street. I cannot move Voom's dish closer to dish 1000 because of several trees. And I don't feel like moving...

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    I got it now, thank you. I am not making it complicated because 61.5 dish is on the opposite end of the house and it is simply not feasible to run a cable from it to the dish pro twin. Looks like the only way to get stronger signal or to take advantage of the 61.5 dish is to relocate the 1000 dish.

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    I don't want to run any additional cables as I already have too many. I just want to know is there a way to take advantage of my current setup in order to get more reliable satellite signal. I'll try to simplify my questions: One option is to connect Dish Pro plus twin ( for 110 & 119) to...

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    The thing is that voom dish and 1000 are to far from each other. Cable from 61.5 goes directly to my living room. 1000 is connected to my tv with different coax cable. How can I use these two cables? I also have spare switch 21 somewhere.
