Hopefully someone here can help me re: an apparent scam that DirecTV is running. In December 2018, I received a letter from DirecTV offering me a $200 Visa Reward Card if I signed up for service from DirecTV. So I called, arranged for service, and was told that I would be sent a letter with...

I would like some opinions and advice, and I'm not a troll; I just want some advice. I’ve been a Dish subscriber for 2+ years, and this month my monthly Dish bill jumped about $60 per month to $160; I had been receiving reduced/free rates for the movie premium channels, and I suppose I lost...

Can I get NFL RedZone without Sunday Ticket? As a new DTV customer, I have Sunday Ticket and RedZone, but when I don't renew Sunday Ticket next year, will I also lose RedZone? Thanks, Richard

I'm a recent returnee to DTV from Dish, and I'm wondering if DTV has a free service like Dish's Dish Anywhere which allows users to transfer recorded programs from their DVR to a tablet or phone. On a long flight, it's nice to have one's own movies available to watch on a tablet, for instance...

I was with Dish for 14 years, went to DTV for 2 years, and came back to Dish 14 months ago, but when I entered my second year with Dish, my monthly bill jumped $50. I knew that the bill would increase in the second year, but $50 all at once was a shock, so now I’m thinking about returning to...

I tuned in to NFL RedZone this morning and discovered that Dish is broadcasting it in SD. Last year Dish broadcast RedZone in HD. I called Dish and was told that there was a 15 minute wait, so I went to Dish chat and was told that there was a 9 minute wait. Great customer service. Does...

I recently returned to Dish after 2 years with DirecTV, preceded by 14 years with Dish. I’m having an extremely annoying problem with the sound on recorded and paused programs. Frequently while watching a recorded or paused program on the Hopper, every 10-15 seconds the sound will cut out for...

I’m thinking about returning to Dish, and I’m asking for comments and suggestions. I was with Dish for 14 years, but for financial reasons, I switched to DirecTV 2 years ago to get the new subscriber savings. My 2 years are up, and my DirecTV bill has gone way up, so I’m thinking about...

Our household is one of the 13% of U.S. TV households that have lost a channel due to the Greed War between DTV and Raycom. In our case, we’ve lost the CBS station in Tucson. The first NFL weekend is in a few days, and I won’t be able to watch the games on CBS after this weekend’s free NFL ST...

Is it possible to program the DirecTV RC65X remote for an HR24-200 to skip something other than 30 seconds? For instance, skip 20 seconds? With the NFL's hurry-up offenses, 30 seconds is too long. Thanks, Richard

I recently terminated my Dish Network service, which included Blockbuster@home service. Blockbuster@home is still sending me DVD’s, so I called Dish Network to ask them to stop sending me movies; I might have to pay for them, and I don't want to. Call to Dish #1: The system recognized my...

As a brand new DTV user (4 hours), I would like to know if there is a website that describes various tricks, shortcuts, etc. that can be used with DTV?

This is my first post in the DirecTV forum. I'm moving over from Dish, and the DirecTV installer is outside working right now as I write this. I posted the following in the Dish forum, and it was suggested that I post it here, in the DTV forum. After 14 years I dumped Dish and arranged for...

After 14 years I dumped Dish and arranged for DirecTV to be installed today. When I talked to the DirecTV rep on the phone, I verified that I would be receiving an HR24 receiver, and he said, “Absolutely.” An hour ago I received a call from the DirecTV installer saying that he was on his way...

I’ve been thinking about going over to the Dark Side (or Light Side, depending on one’s point of view). I’ve been a Dish subscriber for 14 years, and I currently have one 622 receiver and the AEP package. When I talked to Dish a year ago about lowering my monthly charge, they gave me $5 off...

I have a 622, and I first noticed this irritating "feature" in L627, and L629 has not fixed it: Sometimes when I pause a recorded program for a few seconds and then unpause it, the recording jumps back 2-3 minutes, and then I have to fast foward to where the recording had been before pausing it...

I posted the following in the DTV forum, but I think the issue is probably relevant here, too, and my friend really needs help. A friend of mine arranged to have HD DTV installed, replacing a local cable system. When the installer arrived at my friend's house, the installer said that he...

A friend of mine arranged to have HD DTV installed, replacing a local cable system. When the installer arrived at my friend's house, the installer said that he would not recommend installing DTV because the coax cable that was installed inside the walls in all the houses in our large...

I was wondering if anyone else has been losing parts of programs recently? I have a 622 and live in the Tucson DMA. The weather has been good, with no significant cloud cover. I don’t use OTA. On 11/25 the last 10 minutes of a network program were lost due to the “Acquiring satellite signal”...

My 622 is 2+ years old. Over the past 3 days, the following has happened twice: 1. Watching TV. 2. Screen freezes for a few seconds and then goes black. 3. The 2 lights on the front of the 622 turn off. 4. Hard drive makes a loud, whirring noise for several minutes. 5. Remote will not turn on...

Anyone else having this problem? Last week the “Offers” link on my account page presented me with an opportunity to get HBO and Starz for free for three months, so yesterday I decided to accept the offer. Unfortunately, now when I try to get the offer this is what happens: I go to the Dish...

I looked at my account on the Dish website, and I saw the following promtion: "GET HBO & STARZ FREE FOR THREE MONTHS". I've been with Dish for almost 10 years, and I have AEP, Gold HD, Locals, and all the movie channels. What's the catch? I didn't see anything about a new commitment, and I...

Is there a place that lists E*'s planned local channel additions, and when they might happen? Specifically, I am interested in Tucson, AZ. Thanks, Richard

I was going to ask a series of questions regarding upgrading to HDTV, but I decided to simply ask one question: with the new Vip622-1 supposedly coming out mid-year, should I just wait until then to upgrade to HDTV? I currently have a 721 -- which finally seems to be stable most of the time --...

Last night I noticed that one of the tuners on my 721 would not display a picture. I could see the EPG and the info screen at the top of the black screen, but no program. I did a switch test, and everything appeared to be OK, but there was still no picture on one of the tuners. This morning...
