One of the features, I mean maybe THE ONE feature I liked about the DirecTV DVRs was that when the boxes were off, they were keeping a buffer of I think it was the last 2 hours on whatever channel you were tuned to when you powered the box off. I thought it was pretty cool, as sometimes, like...

Next time you see them reappear, check to see if another different channel is missing now. I answered your question in my Hopper recording rampage thread, but my hopper wil drop channels, 5,7,9 and 11. Only one at a time. So let's say channel 5 is missing from my favorites list, then one day it...

I will let you know for sure. Has not happened again. I want to say this was Weds of last week, you may ask copperavery who posted above if he remembers when his went nutso too? I have to say though, that coming from that "other" satellite company, I'm really happy with this system. That other...

I've never been able to resolve it. I'm sorry I guess I sort of implied that I had. Same issue as you I think. It happens randomly and sometimes the channels ARE there in the favorites guide, I'll think they "fixed it" and then the next day it'll be gone again. It also rotates between channels...

I certainly did ask her. She claims to not have. For the record I haven't had many issues either. When I first had it installed the Joey had some connectivity issues with On Demand but they are resolved. And I've had the channel 9 or 11 disappearing from the favorites list. Other than that and...

This may have been mentioned, but....On Wednesday I noticed my Hopper's red recording light was on for what seemed like a long time. Thinking it odd, but not paying much attention to it, I went about my day. I'm self employed and work from home which is why I noticed it during the day in the...

I forgot scenario 4 in my OP: Scenario 4: Hitting on demand button, brief flash of black, straight back to Live TV.

Thanks for chiming in. I was starting to wonder if I was going insane. We rarely use the On Demand function from the Joey TV so it's not imperative, BUT it would be nice to know it works. It's a feature we pay for right? We have obviously tried to use it so we do use it from time to time. To...

Guys, I finally got rid of Directv after 7 years, not to start a debate. I'm very happy with it. Picture looks as good as DirecTV, or at least close. Speed of the Hopper and Joey is one million times better than DirecTV. Anyway, digging the Hopper and Joey. Installer was nice and such. But, I...

Yeah, well, last defective replacement for me was just in January. Was told by a CSR that I would be charged $199 to replace the defective receiver... I told them if they charged me a penny for their borked receiver, I would cancel and eat the ETF (remember I had been pushed into a 2 year...

Thanks guys. I am now officially OUT of contract, took all of 5 minutes after saying "cancel" at the voice prompt. Retention looked over the account and within 20 seconds said "Yep, you never should have had this commitment extended". Man, I mean, not sure if it's underhanded or not on their...

I'm calling in. They have extended me three times. I am upset. Doesn't mean I would have left or will leave. But I'm PISSED.

I'm confused. Replacing a defective receiver DOES require a new 2 year agreement? Or it does not? Problem is, if it DOES NOT, I have agreed to it. Reluctantly, but agreed nonetheless.

For the record, no out of ordinary use or abuse on the receivers. They're well ventilated and nothing sits atop them, etc. They've just randomly crapped out. Once, the card reader died and we've had 2 others that have had HD failures.

Long time member, rare poster, consistent lurker. Quick question. For the record, we've been with DirecTV for about 7 years as "valued customers". I suppose valued meaning, we have simply always paid on time.... On three, count them THREE separate occassions over the years, I have had to have...

Oh and PS: Since when did DTV or any provider GIVE you equipment? You pay a monthly service fee, DVR fee, you may get a free upgrade receiver WITH a 2 year contract extension. They give nothing away. I suppose you could say the dish itself is free though. I mean, if you don't think they are...

You can watch pretty much anything you want on an existing AppleTV set top unit. If you're technologically adept in the slightest you'd know this. It does not take much effort to do this. Will Apple take over the cable/satellite providers? I do not know. But somebody will and it will happen...

They gave me 12 months free HD when i called absolutely no issue at all and didn't require me to sign up for autopay which i hate i've had a couple bad experiences with it in the past. and besides it's more about principle with me- my bill has been paid every month for 5 years NEVER late w/ my...

well, here's my discount story and it was TOTALLY unintentional and honest. let me start by saying that we've been customers for years and have never been late and i've subscribed to NFL ST w/ SF and EI the whole time. so about 3 weeks ago i lost my job - bummer. the next day after i tallied my...

well, i had posted earlier that i got a decent deal on ST and SF. however, i called today and canceled it. call me a tree hugger, softie, liberal (which i'm not), or whatever but, the thought of vick being reinstated makes me sick to my stomach. so i'm speaking with my $. it was a super hard...

well, my main gripe as i'm sure it is with many others is; if i'm paying for HD access already then why should i have to pay for superfan just to get the HD feeds? of course i guess i don't HAVE to pay for SF but, then that would defeat the purpose of having HD. personally i really don't care...

hmm i called today to cancel NFL ST and got: $34.95 for 6 months on ST , $50 off SF and $6.00 off DVR service for 6 months. i took it as i think i save around $125-$150 which is better than nada. but, it IS getting expensive and i wish SF would be included in the price. not too sure if i'll...

actually if that was meant towards me, i was under the impression that he was still searching. which is why in my original post i stated "if you're in the market"... i may have misread.

LOL as a former PC tech for too many years, let me just say that the Mac OS is so very refreshing. it's amazing how much time is actually spent... computing. the previous (of which i own the 24" model) and latest version of the imac are great machines. anyhow this was only a suggestion not an...

you can spend as much as you want especially on a gaming machine. if you're in the market for a new computer maybe it's time for the big switch... maybe an iMac.
