    Question On Protection Plan

    I've only had Direct TV with tivo for three months and I love it. I had opted on sign up to get the protection plan for $7.99 per month. I'm wondering if it's worth it, or should I cancel? I'm just curious about how many of you have the plan and if you guys think the equipment is pretty...

    Got My Direct TV Yesterday

    Got my 2 room Direct TV system installed yesterday. Just wanted to let you guys know how much better my picture is. I know some of you were giving me opinions both for and against the switch from dish network. I like the tivo much better than the 522 and the picture is more vibrant and less...

    Tivo on ebay

    If I buy a 120gb Samsung Direct Tivo on e-bay with the access card, will I be able to activate it with direct tv or will I run into problems? Also do you think that since I will be paying for the dvr protection plan that they will cover the one I would buy on e-bay?

    Starz Super-Pak for Direct TV

    I was just looking at the starz super-pak on direct tv and it doesn't show starz family. Comcast and Dish Network have it on there. Is that an error or does Direct Tv really not have Starz Family? Thanks.

    Direct Tivo Question

    I will be getting a 40gb direct tivo on Thursday. Can you upgrade the hardrive to a larger one without buying the more expensive machines, or do you guys find that 35 hrs of recording time is sufficient?

    I ordered the 522. Is it a bad product?

    Though I haven't experienced the recording bugs etc that some report, I don't care for the picture quality. Someone else said the same thing about it. My Comcast digital cable had a better picture which is why I'm going to try Direct Tv with the tivo. My friend just got Direct Tv and he has a...

    Question on DHA

    I'm just curious about something. I just had started the DHA plan with the dvr522 on 5/14. As some of you may know from previous posts I have not been happy with my picture. A service tech came out and ordered me a new receiver which still didn't change anything. I signed up for Direct TV and it...

    Switching to Direct TV

    After posting some threads on the forums about picture quality issues with dish network I've decided to make the switch to Direct TV. I only wish I had gone with them in the first place so I don't have to go through the hassle of sending all the equipment back. I have a question for those of you...

    Direct TV vs. Dish

    I just signed on with Dish after having Comcast Digital Cable. I really don't think the picture quality is even close to my digital cable.

    Dish Heaters

    I read on some site that you can use a super-soaker filled with rain-x windsheild de-icer to spray down a dish. I think I may try that this winter and see how it goes.

    Dish Heaters

    I am a new dish network customer. I was wondering if any of you use a dish heater to keep the snow and ice off? I live in the NorthEast and I don't want to have to climb a slippery roof to brush off my dish when winter comes back around.

When I plugged the supplied s-video cable...
