Hi All, Hoping you can provide some guidance as I know you're all experts. As background I am a long time Directv customer in Michigan. I am in process of building a house and had been thinking of Comcast so that I don't have a dish on the roof. My builder thought that there would be a good...

Hi guys I've been a 15 year DIRECTV subscriber but I need your expert advice. The Mrs and I are building a high end custom home and she doesn't want an unsightly dish on the roof. In fact, the only view to the southern skies through the trees would require placement on the front of the home...

I just tried to order HBO online but was told on the website that my package (Choice Xtra Classic) is "not compatible" with ordering HBO. I'm guess that this is complete BS. They're just trying to force me into a more costly package. I don't want to drop my grandfathered package. Is there...

My Genie is Suddenly Reporting Internet Connection Too Slow for VOD; all other features work fine. - Whole house connection - Other HD Recorder upstairs works fine with VOD (not too slow message). - Checked all connections - Internet network test reports all is good - Called Techs and...

There used to be a sponsor of this forum that gave 10% discounts to SatelliteGuys members. I cannot recall their name, but I ordered my last unit from them a few years ago. The owner was very active on these boards as well. Anyone recall the name of that store and whatever became of it...

I received an offer from DISH to return. Unfortunately, I think it got thrown out.:mad: I think it offered something like free install plus $200 toward equipment. Is anyone aware of this, or know whether I can get this offer again?

I have 2 R10s. I noticed that the one in our master bedroom didn't have the guide populated. Every channel and time slot said "To Be Announced." I forced that R10 to dial in to Directv. After that, I checked the guide and it still didn't work. I then rebooted it, but that didn't work...

Have been using season passes on my R10 to record many programs with no issues. Suddenly, my season passes do not record the program. When I checked season passses, they all exist as I expected. However, when I "search for upcoming episodes," the program information shows that the program...

Billing Q: Extra $1/mo DVR Charge? I was looking at D*'s website to possibly upgrade to a movie package. At the bottom of the possible upgrades were various other options. One of the other options was a $1/month DVR charge, which already had a "check mark" populated for that option. In...

Just had two R10s installed yesterday. I have only played around with one of them. Have tried twice to purchase/record a PPV movie, and the R10 never records it. On the history, it inticates,"This program was not recorded because the recorded had an internal error: 4." Any clue as to...

:mad: Okay, I admit there are more significant problems in the world than this, but I need to vent. It seems that very few companies I buy from actually follow through on what they say they will do. Most recent case: Bought two R10s from ValueElectronics. Was told they would e-mail me the...

Need Expert Opinion! Been gone for four months from this site. Had E* while a user of this site, but selected Comcast HD Cable to get HD with a PVR. I cannot tell you how bad Comcast is in my area: some analog channels so blurry that I looks like I'm watching through Saran Wrap; white...

OK, guys, I need your expertise and guidance. I plan to sell two DISH receivers on eBay. In reviewing those already being auctioned, some include receiver serial numbers, card numbers, etc. Some don't. What should I or should I not include on an auction so that I protect myself? I...

I have a Dish 500, twin lnb, pointed at 119 and 110. As I was watching local channels (110 satellite), an error message came on indicating that something was wrong with the mutli satellite switch, and that I must conduct a check switch. I did so, and it only recognized one of the two lnbs. :no...

How much should it cost to have someone come out and re-aim my dish? It is being removed while I get a new roof installed, but will be re-attached by the roofing company. They do not aim it, however. Perhaps it's easy enough to aim it myself? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am strongly considering a move to D*. Not unhappy with E*, but I'm having a new roof installed on my house, and the satellite will be taken down as part of that process. Instead of having the existing dish reinstalled (at my cost by E*), I thought now would be a good time to consider...

OK - I know what I don't know, so I'm going to the experts. I have two televisions, one HD, one SD. Presently have a 508 and a 301 (no, I'm not piping HD through my HD set). WOW! Cable has the following offer for $84/month: (1) All Digital Cable - see attached for channel listing (2) 1...

I have 508 and 301 receivers, with AT120 pack w/locals. Bill totals $46/month ($34 for AT 120, $6 for locals, $5 for add'l receiver fee). If I upgrade to AEP, do I still get charged the add'l receiver fee? Thanks.

I like my 508 silver remote, but I cannot get the "Aux" button to control my Yamaha RXV-992 home theater receiver. I've cycled through the remote per the 508 instruction manual, and tried the discrete Yamaha codes, but to no avail. The remote controls all of my other components but this...

I've had E* for many years. Last year, I put a significant amount of money improving my house, including new siding. I've been wanting to upgrade my E* from two 508s to maybe two 721s or possibly HD. What's stopping me? I'm worried about installer horror stories I've head about. I don't...

I am presently with E*, but have had a lot of equipment probs with my 508 latelty (artifacting, audio and video "skipping", etc). I had to return a 508 within two months of owning it. This one has lasted a little over a year. I am considering switching to D*, but I cannot live without a...
