I've had these HR-20 and HR-21 receivers since 2007. One of them was replaced a couple years ago due to hard drive failure. I haven't been following along with new DirecTV hardware, so I'm wondering if there are new receivers that would represent significant upgrades in terms of responsiveness...

I agree that the scheduling for the Tigers-A's series is ridiculous. I have 2 little ones who are up at 6:00am every day, so staying up past 1:00am to watch games 1 and 2 made for a pretty rough weekend. Why 1:00pm? In what other professional team sport are there playoff games scheduled in the...

I have been a ST subscriber since 2002, but when I asked for a discount a couple of months ago I was told that none was available. I cancelled my auto-renewal at that time. After reading through this thread I decided to call and try again. I was immediately offered the $10 x 12 months and $5...

We canceled our early renewal a couple of months ago. I had inquired about a discount, but I was told that they could not offer me one. Now I see some people claiming that they have received discounts. If I can get $120 off, I would probably renew ST.

I am happy to report that Sirius finally refunded my money. I sent an email to corporate and posted my story on the SiriusXM Facebook page, and within a couple of days someone from the customer complaint department called me. The Sirius rep once again denied my request for a refund, stating...

I hadn't disputed the charge with Mastercard because I read that it must be done within 180 days. I suppose it's worth a shot though. I do realize most of this could have been avoided if we had looked at our credit card statements more closely. We usually do this, but we were in the middle of...

I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer me some suggestions for getting back my money. Here is a brief description of the situation: We had a 2-year lease on a vehicle from Nov 2006 through Nov 2008. We prepaid for 18 months of Sirius service on the vehicle (the first 6 months were...

Hi Jimbo. There were a lot of Giants games shown in the Detroit market last year, but you're right that it wasn't quite 12. I looked up both the Giants and Lions schedules, and there were only 5 conflicts (same time, same network). I am certain that at least 8 games were shown (4 of these...

I've subscribed to ST since 2001, but unfortunately I'm going to cancel this year as we need to cut down on expenses and the price has climbed to a staggering $325! IIRC, we paid $200 for the package back in 2001. We are only interested in watching the Giants games, and last year I believe 12...

My HR21 has recently starting "freezing" several times each day. When this happens, the picture and sound freeze and the receiver is unresponsive to inputs from the remote or buttons pressed on the receiver itself. Usually the receiver returns to normal functionality within 30-120 seconds...

This problem seems to have disappeared for me since the latest software update. Has anyone else noticed this?

One thing I love about this new software: It automatically prompts me to extend the recording time for sports events that might go over the allotted time! It's so nice not have to go through several menus to do this for every game I record.

If it's really true that D* is trying to put Versus on the Sports Package, then I'd side with Versus on this one. I already pay D* what I feel is a ridiculous monthly subscription rate for dozens upon dozens of channels that I never watch. I'm not willing to pay more for a channel that I...

My local channels aren't listing any Noon college football games this Saturday, so I doubt we'll get it here. However, I did notice that the game will be shown on D* channel 681 (Altitude). I checked last night and I actually get this channel as part of Total Choice. I thought it was only...

I'm considering ordering Game Plan for this Saturday, but I don't have a phone line or network connection to my receiver. I realize that I can call to order, but apparently there is a $5 fee, which is ~25% of the programming cost! When I go to DirecTV.com, I can order the full Game Plan...

Same problem here! It's extremely frustrating. My wife thought I was crazy for the longest time because it would never happen to her, but it finally did the other night. I'm not sure what's worse: this, or the unresponsive remote problem that sometimes makes it impossible to type in the...

I was hugely disappointed in TP. I thought he was going to be the guy to carry the team this year, but he has looked less than ordinary in two games. He looks like the same guy who couldn't make plays against PSU and Texas last year. I hope he comes around, much like Troy Smith did in his...

I also finally got this update and played around with Double Play a bit last night. It's nice to finally have this feature! One thing I'd like to know is what happens after 2 hours of using Double Play? What if I start watching 2 football games simultaneously using Double Play? After 2...

The Wings did not play with enough urgency last night, and just didn't get any of the bounces. I expect a much better effort tomorrow. Did anyone see the cheapshot elbow that Niedermayer put on Datsyuk during the scrum after the game had ended? FSD didn't capture this, but one of the...

I think even Anaheim fans can admit that the refs missed that one. But this is the NHL, and things like this happen all too often. Unfortunately, this one happened at a critical time in the game and series. Hopefully Detroit can regroup and take game 4, because otherwise the series is over.

The refs blew it, plain and simple. I'm not saying the Wings would have won, but the game should have at least gone into OT. I'm expecting some sort of a make-up call in game 4.

Wings are VERY lucky to be down by only 1. Mickey is right: The Ducks are just smothering the Wings.

So who's staying up for Wings-Ducks tonight? I'm usually sleeping by 10:30, but I'm going to try to make it up. Of course, if the Wings fall behind by a few goals, I'll record it and skim through the rest in the morning. I just have a bad feeling about this series. It's eerily similar to...

I just want to update this thread. The tech came out yesterday and replaced the LNBs. Problem solved instantly!

Last night the signal suddenly got better and I am receiving most channels (except for the channels that were originally a problem when I started this thread). I don't think it was snow/ice on the dish, because I checked signal strength on one of our standard def receivers and it was 99. I...
