    Can I downgrade receivers?

    I'm being charged the $3 monthly whole-home fee for my Genie HR44 even though I'm not using that feature. A csr told me I have to be charged the fee just because I have a Genie. So, I'm thinking if I downgrade back to a HR24, that should get rid of the $3 fee. Will they try to charge me for...

    Somebody please explain this to me.

    I have called DirecTV 3 times. Their answer to this question makes no sense. Here goes: I have 3 receivers - 1 Genie, 1 HD-DVR, and 1 standard HD receiver. I am being charged $10 DVR fee, $10 HD fee, and $3 Whole-home fee. Of course, a total of $23. My question is why can't they switch me...

    Will HR21 work with a tube TV?

    I have a Sony Wega non-hd tube TV with component inputs. Can I hook a HR21 to it? I assume the pq will be worse than a R15 hooked up.

    Delay in changing channels on H21

    I just upgraded yesterday. When I switch my H21 to Native mode, it takes forever to change channels. Is there anything I can do about it? I have a Sharp Aquos, 720p.

    Is this possible?

    Is it possible to have D* HD on one TV, and D* SD on another. I'm thinking about upgrading to HD on one TV but keeping my R-15 on the other. Don't want to spend $299 for a HD DVR yet. I know they will have to swap out my dish for another one.

    Deactivating a receiver

    Is deactivating a receiver and sending it back to Dish considered breaking the 18 month agreement? I want to take a 625 off my account.

    Is it possible to watch MLB.TV on a TV?

    I have E* and I'm bummed about the MLB EI deal. I don't want to switch to D* because of my 18 month committment. So I was wondering if it's possible to somehow get the games from my PC over to my TV? Has anyone done this? How? What is the picture quality like? I have a Sony WEGA tube TV.

    Will D* pay to get me out of my committment with E*?

    I switched from D* to E* a little over 6 months ago. But the MLB EI deal has me thinking about switching back. I know I would have to pay to get out of the 18 month committment, but I was wondering if D* has ever agreed to pay this for anyone? They are constantly calling me trying to get me...

    Sports blackout question...Please!!!!!!!!

    Someone in another forum posted that E* blacks out the Cubs games on WGN so they can show them in the MLBEI package. Is this true? When I had D* I could watch the games on WGN without getting MLBEI. By the way, I'm not talking about regional blackouts. I live in South Carolina.

    Need opinions on possible install problem

    I just switched from D* to E*. Local retailer came and installed Dish 500, a 625 and a 322 last Thursday. I wanted to use the 625 on one TV to replace my D*Tivo. He did that. And for the other TV I asked for a 311, but the guy brought a 322 because he didn't have any 311s. So he hooked the 322...
