Can you clarify the exact steps? I tried the my setup tab, but the only "premium" tab is "add premium." There is no obvious way to swap sportspak for starz, etc. Thanks for any help.

That is exactly what the CSR told me I could do and there was a thread here that said the same thing (from a few years back). It did sound great. But, it looks like it can't be done anymore if you ever could . . .

A few months ago, I was told by Directv customer service that I could sign up for the sportspak and then freely change during the month between the sportspak and Starz (or any premium channel other than HBO--which has a higher monthly cost) without any fee and without extending the cancellation...

Sorry that I don't know the correct name for the service. But, I'd appreciate this group's opinion on whether it is worth it to pay the monthly fee for having DTV fix any things that break in your system? I have my own Ku satellite and I've worked with cable. So, I'm thinking that now that...

The IP address is within the range of my network. And, I just connected the access point to my slingbox an it is working flawlessly. Is there something I need to configure on the satellite receiver?

Just bought a new Super G access point, configured it, tested it by unplugging my PC from the router and plugging it into the access point. It worked great. I plugged it into the Directv receiver and it won't work. It says it is not connected to the internet, but it does give me the IP...

I figured it out and it worked!!! I changed it back to IR using the RF remote and then pushed the red button on the receiver and voila both remotes are now working!!! Thank you so much! This forum has got to be the best in the internet.

Will do! I assume you mean to resetup the IR remote. I can do that. But, what is a "red button reset?" Thanks.

Ugh! Any solutions . . . For example, do I have a prayer of swapping my IR remote for an RF because of her error?

New Problem My new RF remote arrived yesterday (1 day!). I set it up and it works great. I can control my system while watching it on my 2nd TV in the other room. The one problem is that my original IR remote doesn't seem to work completely any more. I was very clear with the nice lady at...

I just spoke with DTV tech support and learned that the remote that came with my new box does not support RF. I ordered an RF remote from DTV for $25 which should arrive in 3 days and I should be in business. I wanted another remote anyway so this is fine.

I'm not yet totally familiar with the model numbers. Do these make any sense: SD/DVR: R16NC-300 Remote: White--r16man080110. Now found another number for remote RC64

I tried to swap my SD/DVR box (newly installed yesterday) to RF remote. After 3 tries, it would not work. However, I easily changed my HD/DVR box (also newly installed yesterday) to RF remote using the same steps. This makes me wonder whether the SD/DVR box supports RF? Does anyone know...

You understood correctly. I've recorded my Ku receiver on TIVO for a few years. Any way to record it on the Directv HD/DVR?

I purchased an rf modulator just in case the standard definition DVR does not have coax output. Either way I should have a cable signal. My question is really whether the signal will move throughout the house on regular coax. I actually have an amplfier in the line that the cable company put...

I have a KU satellite and I've had cable with TIVO. I'm switching to Directv tomorrow and not quite sure what to expect on two fronts. With my existing TIVO I was able to run the cable coax through the Ku satellite receiver which allowed me to use TIVO for my Ku signal on channel 3 of the...

Tried a DVD Player I purchased an RF modulator and tried an old DVD Player. I unhooked the cable at the entrance to my home, hooked the DVD player to the modulator, and then plugged the modulator into the cable outlet in the wall. I could see and hear the DVD on the TV's hooked to my cable in...

The majority of the older posts that I read earlier today indicated that Directv offered something to retain existing customers who were out of contract. I'm not even a Directv customer yet, so this doesn't really apply to me yet. But, I'm not sure I'd call it weaseling to call up after your...

I've just been reading old posts and many say that if you are out of contract you can call and ask for deals. Sounds alot like my cell phone contracts. The full price is more than cable for me. So, I'd have to weigh going back to cable. But, if they cut deals (even $10/month or something)...

I'm about to make the Directv jump. I will get the 2 year contract with all kinds of discounts. I'm wondering what happens at the end of the contract. Will I just have to pay the full cost or does Directv cut deals to get you into a new contract. I assume I wouldn't want any new equipment at...

The house is 8 years old and has cat 5 throughout as well as cable with multiple cable outlets in several rooms. How do I tell if it has RG 6?

Great. Thanks. Any idea whether I would have trouble using the existing coax in my home that will no longer have cable TV, but will have cable internet, to move the signal via the modulator to basically any room in the house? By the way, the cable folks installed a signal booster in the...

Wow. No coax. I got it. If I try the modulator route and it doesn't work (I wonder about the internet also being on the cable for example), can I add a SD receiver later at no cost (other than the $5 monthly fee)? Or, should I have them install the cable with the original install (and can I...

Thanks again. I went to the website after typing my last post and saw that the RF remote is only $25. That makes the fix potentially very cheap. But, I'm still confused. Why would I need an RF modulator? Couldn't I just use coax? If I run the HD straight to the TV, then I have the coax...

Thanks Rad. I've just completed reading a huge number of posts and I'd like to confirm what I think I learned. 1. The installer will install the dish and run 125 feet of coax through an outside wall. I assume that is 125 feet for each run of cable? 2. Each DVR requires 2 cables (or the...
