Do you think its possible or advisable to connect my box to the internet? Would my account get flagged at DTV end?

I am a bit confused after logging into my account, then I went along the top, selected sports, then a drop down menu to tennis. Then saw the Australian Open tennis ad. It brings me to the tennis grand slam advertisement and some prices which seem incorrect or maybe I am mis reading them. I...

Can I get VOD by hooking up my telephone line to the Directv receiver? Or do I need an ethernet connection? If I connect my telephone line to the receiver, what advantage do I have? If any. Thanks

Sorry newbie here BUT I would like to take advantage of the supercast feature for the NFL package which I have. Do I need to download anything onto my Mac? And is this available? Thirdly, is supercast used via networking or strictly via internet only? Thanks

I am not sure if this issue has to do with my TV or ? but when tuned into Tennischannel HD the logo on the top right is cut-off between the Hand the D. I can see the Tennis fine. Is this a TV issue? broadcaster? directv ? Thanks

I did an automatic setup of my receiver. It recognized all my speakers. But I don't think I have heard any sound from the rear speakers. Is there a paricular program/channel that uses 5.1 sound? or perhaps I have to manually set the volume higher on the rear speakers? Thanks

Sorry I don't remember the name of the channel but a yr or so ago I remembering watching at my friends place and Directv had an interactive channel that showed what other people were watching/favorite channel of other people and a few other categories. Can I assume thats been taken off the...

Newb here but the "my favorites-channels I get" seems very flawed? There are channels listed that aren't greyed out that should be. Their are a few that are hilighted that I don't get. Secondly Do I have to go through "every" channel and make a custom favorites list to set all the channels I...

I am a newbie to DTV, having only subbed a few days ago but I am quite shocked that they seem to censor bad language in their movies/shows. Has this always been the case or will this depend on what channel I am watching? Are the movie channels censored as well? Thanks

I am a new customer and signed up a few days ago for the choice extra hd dvr package. There is a rebate which I applied for online. $21 credit for 12months. Can I upgrade my programming to Premium and still keep that $21 credit for the 12 months? And secondly after the 12 months can I go back...

I am currently watching my localHD channel in Seattle. I am watching the baseball game. My receiver is showing "480p" but it is widescreen format. I know widescreen doesn't mean 720p or 1080 But I would imagine the game is in 720p? or 1080i? I just wonder how come the receiver shows "480"...

I know I need to call and ask but has anyone experienced any deals regarding programming or sunday ticket after they self installed their own dish/receiver? I know the deals offered on the website are for professionally installed hardware. Or will I have to pay the regular package prices. Thanks

Sorry not sure where to ask this BUT I am having the 3lnb slimline installed next week but looking into the future and I read somewhere that a new sat will be launched in the fall. Will this change where the programming will be located? In terms of 99/101/103? Everyone with 3lnb should be ok...

I think this is a technical question so here it goes: I will be running approx 50ft of coax cable from the dish to receiver as my satellite dish will be mounted on the roof of my building. Is there any degradation of signal? And will rain be an issue as the dish is wide open to rain and other...

I am moving soon and happened to come across an RC32RF remote. The things you find when you move. More to come I am sure. Is this remote compatible with the newest receivers? Or is there a chart that will show which receivers these are compatible with? Thanks

Does Directv send me a card via the mail? or do the cards come packaged with the different receivers? Thanks

Does the entire surface of the Slimline 5LNB dish need to have a complete clear view of the skies? How does the signal transfer to the receiver. I am out west and thus told I need the dish to face south east. Thanks

I canceled my service about a month ago with Directv and I was still on the hook for the remainder of the lease (approx. 18months left on 2yr lease?) I had two receivers. One HD and one HDDVR. On Nov10 I was charged $215 which I thought was the charge for the remainder of the lease. I then...

Hmmm I keep seeing this on the bottom right of the TV screen while watching ToonHD "Adult Swim" :confused::confused: I am finally getting around to asking what the hech does that mean? Thanks

I tried powering up my HDDVR this morning and nothing happened. I thus unplugged it from the wall for awhile (over a half hour) and then plugged it back in. The receiver then had power and went through the appropriate steps. Now I seem to have lost my HDlocals and what seems to be the new HD...

I am very curious to see if any else has been having audio issues on SundayTicket or some of the networks? I know I am. This seems to be happening the past 3-4 days. I can hear everything except the announcers. Commericals are fine etc. Thanks

Anyone in the Northwest not getting KIRO HD channel? All I see is a black screen. I wonder if they are having problems with the feed? I seem to get the other locals. Thanks in advance.

I woke up this morning and I couldn't power up the HR20-100 so I decided to unplug the receiver for about 10-15 minutes. After plugging it back in the screen says "acquiring satellite settings" so I at this point seem to have power. The screen then goes black for a split second. It comes...

I am trying to find a way to downgrade my programming and then add NFL ST and SF. I realized ST is approximately $20 a week. I get quite confused with all the programming options. I have scanned the forums etc BUT still unsure. Can I downgrade to CHOICE $49.99 then ADD HD Access and ADD...
