    How to get a Genie2 HS17

    Are the Genie 2s nationwide yet? If I were to get direct what would I need to do to insure I got one. Claim I need 4k, wireless, or just ask? I currently have a hopper 3 with 16 tuners and I am not going back to 5 and fooling with conflicts 7 should work though.

    How to order simple Non-DVR service

    I looked on the Direct sight and the only way I saw to order service was a bunch of all included packages with dvrs and 4 tvs. My Dad died recently and I am trying to help my step mother trim some fat on bills. Dad had been paying $116 a month for non-dvr service on 3 tvs. All she wants is...

    My Contract was extended?

    I thought my contract with Direct was up but they are telling me because I had a broken DVR swapped out 7 months into my two year contract that my contract started over at that point even though I was paying the protection package. Would a brand new receiver not be under warranty at 7 months? is...

    90 day warranty and Insurance plan is crap

    I guess Direct is different but just last year when I was with dish I had my house reroofed and called them up and was real honest about it. The lady was said no problem since I had the protection plan it would just be a $15 service call. That's all I ever paid.

    Best DirecTv Offer for New Customer

    How can you say that. I wish mine was like that. I have a HR34 that I got a few months back and the guide is way too fast! I can scroll over a hundred channels in under two seconds. It is so fast that I have had to learn to let go of the button about 20 channels before the one I want otherwise...

After signing all the paperwork and they gave me the keys and I way ready to drive away but I was missing something. I ask where is the...

    Hr34 Cost and Availability

    I think Direct and Dish both could take a page from the Cell phone providers play book here. In the earlier days of cell phones you could not get a new phone every two years. Churn "the leaving of subscribers to another company was very high" Then one of the provider started a "New every Two" Ad...

    Want to hear for former DishNetwork Subscibers on equipment

    Thanks! this is the exact kind of info I was looking for. I was thinking about a three HR24 set up to where all my tvs could have FFRW of live tv but the 50 timer limit nixes that idea as I sure do not want to have to actually go to the additional boxes to set timers. Good to know the HR34...

    Want to hear for former DishNetwork Subscibers on equipment

    I have been with Dish for around 7-8 years and my one and only complaint with Dish is that The TV 2 output of the HD dvrs is only in SD. I currently have a 922HDDVR Dishes Flagship receiver. Before that I had a 722HDDVR and before that a 622HDDVR. I would like to hear the opinions of people that...

    Good time to switch? Best deal?

    It seems a few months back Direct was offering better deals. Is now a bad time to switch from Dish? Is there anything aside from doing a friend referral I can do now to get the best deal?

    OTA channels with D*

    So you can only record 2 shows at a time. If you are recording 1 OTA and 1 Sat you are only using two of the 4 available tuners does that mean you could watch a diferent third show live while recording two

    Might switch from Dish. Questions...

    1) I have wired Cat 6 gigabit networking at each tv location with internet access. Does direct allow the boxes to phone home over the internet? I do not have home phone service. Is that an issue? 2)When I price things on line it would appear I can get 1 DVR free, a second for $99, a third for...

    Direct TV vs Dish Network

    Let me say first I am not a troll and not trying to start a flame war! I have had Dish network for about six months and am pretty happy but apparently one of my local stations and Dish network are having a dispute and I may loose that channel next week if they can not resolve it. This got...
