I did my own install. I have been a customer for 20 months and have paid them over $2,000 in sub fees. Is your math that bad or do you really think the $300 I paid for each receiver was discounted that heavily? Or are you just trolling? Why do I deserve a discount? Because I'm in the A class of...

Hi, I see a new post here almost every week about how to save by becoming a new DTV customer. I have been with DTV for about 1.5 years now and all of my initial incentives have dried up. I currently pay about $140 a month for the premier package, 4 receivers, and HD and HD+. My question is...

Yeah, he could sign up for a Canadian service and get wayyyy less HD programming, wayyy less SD programming, and pay more for, say an HD PVR if he so desired. He could also move to Burma and let the government shut of his internet and tell him what to read and say too. Montreal: go ahead and...

Something weird happened and both of my HR20s had to be hard reset. They both locked up within hours of each other. After the reboot, they were fine. -Rob

Wow, I have never seen so many people viewing the Directv forum! Is this some kind of record? Are stats like these kept? So many eager beavers are just itching to sitdown on the couch and stare at an inanimate object! An interesting exercise: turn you tv off, sit and stare at the turned-off...

Lex parsimoniae: entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem Your "friend's" kid has never inhaled either. :rolleyes:

No i won't. Read my first post, paying special attention to the in-quotes. ;) -Rob

Hi, I DON'T want to get any more receivers. I have a tv upstairs, on the main floor, and one in basement. I have a HDPVR upstairs and on the main floor. I would like them both to output to the room they are in AND the basement TV. What is the best way to do this? I have attached my...

I have 3 tvs (one on each floor, upstairs, main and basement), but I only have 2 receivers. Receivers are hooked to tvs via HDMI on upstairs and main floor. I was going to run component cables out from each of the upstairs and main pvrs to the basement tv component 1&2 ins. My question is, if I...

Ahhhh, that is what I figured. Oh well, I was just wondering why I couldn't get it and that is it. Thanks, -r

Hi, I 'live' in NY, NY and I get all the national feed locals except PBS? Is PBS on a spot beam? Is it on another channel? FYI, for 'some reason' I don't get the spot beam channels. So, how do I see PBS if I want to??? Thanks, Rob

Ok, I've researched a number of threads on the subject and I have enough information to definitely call this a problem. It is clear to me that either some people are not affected or haven't noticed. This does not mean it isn't a problem. It is DEFINITELY occurring. I am using an HR20-700...

I like the gray look myself.

Umm this also may be a dumb question, and please don't take offense, but if you don't know how the cables work, would you feel comfortable sighting in a dish? Or do you have a tailgate buddy who knows what he is doing?

I would be less concerned (although quite unhappy) about being filtered out and more concerned with account deactivation. Hmmmmm. :( That said, would Directv really care? Would they really want to go to the trouble of filtering IPs on legitimate accounts? It is one thing not to sell equipment in...

THANKS! :up -Rob

Can some kind soul PM me the instructions for accessing beta VOD? Thanks, Rob :D

One more question... For our Canadian friends watching north of the border.... Is it safe for them to hook up to the internet? I mean, can I (errr, I mean 'they') hook my HR20 up to my Rogers highspeed network and connect with no problems? OR, is Rogers (who also provides cable TV) or Directv...

You've got to be kidding me? Over the net? :eureka I wonder what the quality and downloading times will be like?? So really, you don't even need a dish at that point? Strange... -Rob

:smug A la carte...

Just wondering how it will work... Will it be like PPV? If an HR20 is not hooked up to a phone line, (which I assume is necessary for VOD), then I wonder if there will be a net interface like for PPV??? Anyone? :confused: -Rob

I am assuming you are saying that you got $120 x 2 off, so you only paid $90 in the end. The problem is I already got those promos (perhaps I would have received them again), but that NFL Sunday Ticket isn't worth $90 to me, or even $50. I would pay $15 for the year for ST--that's it. I'm sure I...

Just thought I would relay my tale of woe. A number of things bugged me about it, to the extent that I wanted to post in an attempt to shame Directv. First things first....I receive an email from Directv saying that they have taken the liberty of renewing my NFL Sunday Ticket, so I don't have...
