    Planning on signing up with Dish

    Well, I got a call from the office of the president today and while they understand my point of view and they see the wording in the contract, they refuse to accept my rejection of the contract. They said my only option is to cancel and that they will not terminate my service even though I...

    Planning on signing up with Dish

    Yep, the DVR is the worst part of the package. On the other hand, I might have to give that award to their CSRs. Both tried to convince me last night that there was no provision in the contract that lets me reject their changes, despite it explicitly saying so. The first one claimed that the...

    Planning on signing up with Dish

    He can do better deals over the phone than what they show online? I'm just curious, because online the offer looks exactly like what Dish has online.

    Planning on signing up with Dish

    I looked there, but I don't see any difference between their offer and Dish's offer directly. :confused: Further info: I only need one DVR as I only have one TV.

    Planning on signing up with Dish

    I really don't know what they changed. I'm guessing it's the stuff they bolded (I don't have the contract here at work, so I don't recall what changed), but there is no limitation in the contract to what has to change for me to reject the terms and them cancel me. I'm just sick of all the stuff...

    Planning on signing up with Dish

    Got a change of terms from DirecTV today and am going to try to use that to get out of my contract with them and sign up for Dish with the lowest TurboHD package. Are there any better deals out there than dishnetwork.com or maybe a referral I can use?

    The moderator over there told me that because I haven't been active over there (regardless of being active over here) I wouldn't be selected by DTV for the beta. :(

    Mine took overnight. We have 1.5 down and it took quite awhile.

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/15 0x0269

    I'm surprised how solid and stable this release has made my DVR. I used to have to reset it multiple times per week and so far, no problems (stability wise). So far these are the bugs/issues I've encountered: - Still having delayed captioning (example show: Home Improvement on 247, TBS) - No...

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    No wonder. We signed up in December of '05 and it says not eligible. Since then, they've taken away channels and when I look online, they want to charge $200 for another HD DVR. What a joke.

    DirecTV's 1080p via VoD

    Question: I started the download last night and tried to see how it was at 25% downloaded, but the receiver wouldn't play it. I hit Play and all I got was the blue light blinking to indicate that it received the remote's command. Is this normal?

    I hope so too. I browsed around over there and couldn't find a link to add myself to the beta test, so I'm going to post asking how once my account is fully activated. My computer is more than capable of playing back 1080p.

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/8 0x0263

    It says I'm on 0x263. Is there a way to tell if it went back to the national release?

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/8 0x0263

    I just completed an upgrade and I was surprised because I didn't start it until 2:50 Eastern. The menu responsiveness is much improved and I don't notice any other issues yet.

    HR20/HR21/R22 CE Release 7/25 0x025B

    I'm very interested in this feature. I've already downloaded this release, but can't figure out how to get it to work. Does anyone know how?

    Adding an existing receiver I own

    Darn it! It seems that as long as the HR20 is plugged in, the HR20 gets signal but not the old one. As soon as I unplug the HR20 from the distributor panel, the old one gets signal. :( I'll have to go up on the roof and see if there really are two cable runs like the builder says there are up...

    Adding an existing receiver I own

    OK, I plugged it in and it doesn't seem to have affected the HR20. It's still getting signal fine it seems. Waiting to see if the old one acquires a signal.

    Adding an existing receiver I own

    Are you sure about this? I ask because right now, the cable (one of them, a separate run had to be made for the second cable) from the dish comes into the house and goes to a distributor panel. This distributor panel currently has all of the rooms of the house hooked up to it. Isn't the signal...

    ZDNet Article "DirecTV... Make Products Work"

    DirecTV seems to keep finding ways to make my HR20-700 worse. It started with the inability to pause live TV. I finally figured out that it forever buffers live TV while I'm watching a recorded show. By the end of the show, the buffer is overfull, and it begins playback of the live TV buffer...

    Adding an existing receiver I own

    I currently have an HR20-700 in the living room. I own a D10-200 from years ago before the HR20-700 upgrade and would like to know: - Will DTV do anything to my commitment by adding the receiver? - Will there be a charge for an additional receiver, since I'm not leasing it? - Can I just plug it...
