    Advantage of connecting a phone line to my DVR box?

    When I was a Dish Network subscriber, I got $5 off per month for doing this. DirecTV doesn't give me any discount for that, does it? If I never use PPV, is there any advantage to having a phone-line connection other than getting the caller ID to show up on the screen? DirecTV doesn't require...

    Rain and HD reception

    Question: I just got my HD DVR upgrade. Some HD channels are coming in and others aren't. The installer says that it's because of the driving rain here (we have a nor'easter). Does this sound normal? What seems weird is that I can get the regular Extra Innings channels fine. The numbers bar...

    NHL Network free with Center Ice subscription?

    On a Hurricanes message board, somebody was suggesting that this was the case and I question that. Is this true? I'm thinking that even if you get Center Ice that you don't get NHL Network unless you have the Choice Xtra tier.

    Cheapest way to upgrade to an HD DVR?

    I just bought an HD TV and was frustrated to hear that it is going to cost me $110 to upgrade to an HD DVR. Is there a cheaper way to do it other than what they are telling me?

    Hampton Roads: HD TV gets channels my SD TV didn't

    It's weird. I'm getting some channels that I didn't get when I had an SD TV. even weirder: It doesn't list those channels on Cox's Web site.

    "Moving" to get locals from another area

    Is it as simple as going to the Web site and changing the "installation" address or is it more complex than that?

    Does DirecTV charge you when you change service levels?

    When I was with Dish Network, it charged me $5 every time I went up or down on my service level. Does DirecTV do the same thing? If not, it could come in handy. For example: Your favorite team is playing on ESPNU and you don't get that level of service. You change to that level the...

    Extra Innings free preview?

    I got an e-mail message that mentions an Extra Innings free preview coming up, but I don't see any dates mentioned. Does anybody know when? I have Extra Innings, but I hope that a free preview means I'll be able to get the EI mix and the strike-zone channel, which I don't get.

    Anybody know if DirecTV is considering split-screen

    One of the features I miss the most since switching from Dish to DirecTV is the ability to split screen the two tuners. I also miss the "swap" button that allowed you to switch between the tuners quickly. Does anybody know if DirecTV is considering adding the split screen or PIP at any point?

    Slow remote funtions: Is it just my DVR?

    I just switched from Dish to DirecTV to get Extra Innings and NHL Network SD, neither of which I could get with Dish. One of several things that frustrate me with DirectTV is the length of time it take to perform functions. It takes MUCH longer than it did with Dish Network. I timed how...

    DVR time-change pitfall

    I have my DVR set to record the 2 a.m. SportsCenter every night. It started recording at 1:58 a.m. and stopped two minutes later because the time moved to 3 a.m. Oh well.

    Using an HD DVR w/ an SD TV

    Is this possible? I called Dish today to ask and they said if I upgraded to an HD DVR, I wouldn't be able to input that into my SD TV. Is this true? I thought I read somebody saying that it was possible. I'm just impatient because I keep missing games that are on NHL Network that I previously...

    Why does CNN Interactive ask me for my password? It's not costing me anything to access it, is it?

    Over the air channel 19 for people in Hampton Roads area of Virginia

    I think it's a low-powered Virginia station. But if I plug an antenna into a TV and turn to channel 19, I get the Dish Network screen you get when it's trying to acquire a signal. It's been like that for a few days. Anybody else in the Hampton Roads area getting this?

    What's up with the French Open channels?

    I can get those today, but there as no tennis. I'm assuming that you have to pay to get those channels (473-477)?

    I went for minor annoyance to no signal thanks to customer service

    I have a 625 DVR receiver and since the updates were spooled, it has taken up to 10 seconds after changing channels for the picture on the next channel to show up. As I said, a minor annoyance. I call and get a Dish guy to try to fix the problem. After he goes through diagnostics to "fix" it...

    Split screen on a 625 DVR?

    Suddenly today, my PIP has a third option. First, the second channel is small, then it's bigger (which I had before), but now if I press the PIP button a third time, I get a split screen divided right down the middle of the screen. Anybody else getting this?

    Number of DirecTV, Dish Network subscribers

    Is there a reliable place for lists by city, ZIP code or region of DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers. I'm just curious how many there are in my area. My local paper doesn't list channels such as CSTV in the sports listings only because it's not offered by the cable company.

    Cable input on a 605 Dish DVR

    I noticed that there is a place to input "cable" on the back of the machine. Is there a way to record on DVR cable TV programming with this input?

    DirecTV DVR without phone connection

    I'm about to switch to DirecTV from Dish (although I still have time to back out) and noticed that they strongly urge you to have your DVR connected to a land-line phone line. The logisitics of my house and the fact that I have Vonage would make it a pain to do that unless I bought a...

    Center Ice package

    I'm about to switch from Dish Network to DirecTV. With Dish Network, I got home and away feeds for all the games and sometimes three feeds, including the TSN or CBC feeds. Somebody told me that you get only one feed per game on DirecTV. Can anybody tell me if this is true?
