    Installation Problems

    Problem resolved last weekend by a great tech. He switched out the satellite we had for an older model and was able to use a switch (?) to get all of our receivers working. There's only one line going to each DVR so we are not getting full use of them. He could have run extra cables and...

    DirecTV DVR vs Tivo. Differences?

    One advantage of having a Directv DVR (which is currently a TIVO DVR) is that the monthly fee is the same regardless of the number of DVR receivers you have. One of my friends has a TIVO DVR (not through Directv) and I think she pays $12.95 for the first and $6.95 for the second. We have...

    Installation Problems

    They really haven't had the incentive to do it before so I am willing to pay now just to get it done. We've been in our new house for three months now with only one receiver working. We have to get ready for football season. If they need more money than Directv normally pays them to get the...

    Installation Problems

    It would not be our choice if it didn't appear to be the only choice we have to keep directv. They are saying we run the cables on the outside of the house or tear down walls/ceilings to run cable inside the finished basement. I love our directv service so I am willing to pay extra for this...

    Installation Problems

    Should I be worried about the sub running the cables directly from the dish in through the sides of the house directly to the receivers? Is this common?

    Installation Problems

    I talked to the local Directv sub again today. He told me that we can run 4 lines from our satellite, so we discussed the possibility of running the lines around the side of the house and in through the walls rather than them trying to use what is already in the basement or running new cable in...

    Installation Problems

    I contacted a local electrician, but they said they don't get involved with satellites. I'll try a few more. Thanks for the feedback.

    Installation Problems

    Thanks for the feedback. We were wondering if the issue was the amount of time the sub would need to invest. (The last one to come out insisted he wasn't lazy.) We have been the ones to suggest bringing the wires in from outside but they are focusing on using the wires already in the...

    Installation Problems

    The guy who came out this past weekend said they would have to go in throught the walls or ceiling to get to the cables. I know the first guy that came out said there are three cables coming into the house, but he could only find two. One is being used for our cable internet.

    Installation Problems

    We moved recently and took advantage of the Directv movers program. We have had three installation appointments with the local sub and only have one DVR receiver working (and it only has one cable running to it). The subs are telling us that the problem is our finished basement. We thought...
