    thinking of directv

    I switched a couple of weeks ago and love DirecTV. I wished I would have done it earlier. The DirecTV DVR is slower, but the software, in my opinion is better. There are more search options, better ondemand options, and better interactivity. Plus the future of MRV is pretty awesome with...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I had the same thing happen. When I ordered two weeks ago through the AAA deal I could not get the second HDDVR for less than $199. But they also gave me two HD boxes for my other two receivers, which made up for it in my mind.

    Just switched to D* from E*

    Had an installer come yesterday and switched me from Dish Network to DirecTV. He did a great job, was very professional, and took his time to do it right. He did install a SWM system for me, so that was cool too. My impressions so far: 1) The HR series is slower than the 722, but it isn't...

    Has Directv lost that HD leader feeling!

    I am a current Dish customer, but have an installation date for DirecTV to be installed on Monday. I think each person should look for the company who is the HD leader for the channels they watch, rather than total numbers of HD channels offered. DirecTV has all my locals in HD, whereas...

    2 year commitment

    I have been a dish customer for 5 years and am looking to switch to directv ASAP. Every time I have switched receivers I have ended up with a new contract. I thought it was common practice in the satellite industry. Not that I agree with it though.

    Just installed today

    I am ready to switch to DirecTV from Dish now too. DirecTV has all of my locals in HD, DirecTV will have all of the Twins games in HD (Dish only carries it once in a while), and I am pissed off at Dish about the TurboHD mess - pure bait and switch. I am going to purchase an AAA membership...

    Thinking of switching to D* with some questions

    Appreciate anyone who might have some answers for me. I have been an E* subscriber for about 5 years and am looking to switch to DirecTV - am tired of the unprofessionalism of E* and am looking for more sports, and I am willing to eat the rest of my contract to make this happen. 1) Is there...

    New HD Tomorrow

    I got an automated phone call today from Dish Network saying all of my locals will be available in HD tomorrow. I live in Cedar Rapids, IA, and we currently have just two that are in HD. I am wondering if the other two go live tomorrow as well. Interesting......

    Panasonic DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55

    help Am going to order the bd35. HHgregg has it for 199, and Amazon for 235. Am more comfortable ordering from Amazon. I am not familiar with hhgregg. Is it worth it to go with Amazon for $36 more? Or will ordering from hhgregg be just fine? Anyone have any ideas?

    Walmart Black Friday $128 Blu-ray

    I would use the Canon dw-100 burner, which burns avchd discs right from the Canon HF100. Would love to pick up this player, so I am hoping it will work with the dw-100 discs.

    Would you like the sports pack with HD standalone??

    Is there a technical reason that this can't happen? Or is it simply a business decision? I would love to drop to the HD Only pack if I could get the Multisport Pack and the BTN. I live in Iowa and can't live without the BTN for the Hawkeyes and FSN North to watch the Twins.

    BTN overflow games in HD?

    Is this something that we will just have to wait and see what happens Saturday and go from there? I contacted Dish via email, but I am not expecting anything close to a satisfactory answer. I wish someone from Dish could answer the question - at least tell us what is going on.

    BTN overflow games in HD?

    I have searched threads and don't know if anyone has been able to answer this question. Does anyone know if the BTN overflow games will be in HD? If not now, in the future?

    Programming Access Fee and Ethernet

    I have a wireless router in my house. Do I just connect the router to the ethernet port in the back of the 722? Is that it?

    ? about Dish Online

    I am thinking about upgrading from the 622 to the 722 for the access to the HD on demand service that Dish is going to launch. Couple of questions... When is this on-demand service supposed to start? Will hooking up your 722 (or 622) to the Internet now provide any extra services? Thanks...

    Question about 722 installation

    I have a 622 right now and love it, but I would like to have access to the HD VOD service that will start up soon. I was thinking of upgrading using the dish-n-it-up promotion. How hard is it to install the 722 myself? Or should I have it installed for me? Is it as simple as switching out...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    I would like the overflow channels as well. FWIW, I am expecting to switch, but I probably am sounding like I am finding excuses not to. I keep mulling in mind whether or not the VOOM channels are worth it to me as well. I love equator and gallery, but don't care much for the rest of them. I...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    Thanks for your input everybody - I appreciate your insights. I think I am still going to wait another week or two. It looks like Insight cable just inked a deal with the BTN, so maybe more deals will follow. Who knows, I am thinking optimistically. I have a place to watch all of the Iowa...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    I am still not sure what to do. I really enjoy a couple of the VOOM channels(Equator and Gallery particularly), but I need the BTN to watch my Hawkeyes, especially wrestling which I really love. And realistically, Dish has more sports than I can usually watch right now - it's just the BTN is...
