    thinking of switching from Dish to Direct, but have some questions

    I'm seriously considering switching to Dish as well. Been with DirecTV for years, but really tired of the $140+ monthly charge. I have the Genie 1 and been trying to find out what I'll miss if I move on to Dish.

    DirecTV Must be Getting Desperate - $25/month Total

    I'm curious to that as well. If I call up to cancel, I want to be committed to it should I not get an offer. In which I would be willing to immediately call up and get Dish's new customer offer.

    Upgrade equipment?

    I have the HR44 Genie and wireless clients. Have had this setup for a couple of years now. I pay extra for the support plan, and the last time I talked to them they said I could get upgraded equipment for free. My question is what is the new box I would get and how much of an upgrade would it...

    Genie HR44 Series Manager stopped working properly

    I had 2 episodes of a series recorded. Clicked play on the main title so it would play them both consecitivly, and it played them out of order.

    Equipment upgrade suggestion

    I'm Kind of in the same boat and had the same question. I'm not due for a free upgrade until the end of March though. I have a Genie HR-44 and 3 HD-DVR's (an HR-20 and 2 HR22's). Would like to get wireless Genie mini's to replace a couple of the old DVR's, but would like to maintain additional...

    Really liking the DirecTV Wireless client!

    Thanks. I just wasn't sure if the box had to be in direct line of site for the remote to work.

    Really liking the DirecTV Wireless client!

    I have the Genie as well as 3 older DVR's. I've been wanting to get a Genie Mini client to replace one of the DVR's. Being how small they are, can it be mounted behind a wall mounted tv and have the remote still be functional?

    Bill rant

    Thanks for the info everyone. I do already have the auto pay. Just seems kind of crazy I pay $75 for the programming package, and then another $55 in extra fees.

    Bill rant

    I've had DirecTV for quite some time now. I've always just paid the bill and never questioned anything, so not sure why it's bothering me so much as of late, perhaps I'm just getting more frugal with where my money is going as I get older. But some of this stuff does not make sense. I would...

    Genie install

    So, any known issues with the Genie HR-44? Have had this on for a couple of hours now, and it has powered itself off twice now while watching recorded programs that are on a networked DVR. I power it back up, and restart the show. Concerned what will happen if this happens while it is recording...

    Genie install

    Install was easy. Only thing he switched out was something on the dish itself, and then the Genie box.

    Genie install

    I'll be keeping 3 of the DVR's and the Genie will be replacing the 4th. So sounds like more cables will need to go through the exterior wall of the house?

    Genie install

    Ok, sorry for the confusion guys. The pic below shows the device I was referring to that is mounted on the outside of the house. One cable from the actual dish goes into this, and then the 4 going out of it and into the house go to each of the DVR's. Hope this makes more sense.

    Genie install

    Ok. I currently have 4 lines going through the outside into the inside. So no more would need to be run into the house, correct? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4

    Genie install

    I currently have 4 DVR's, and getting a Genie installed on Wednesday. Just wondering how the install works for these? Will any additional lines need to be run to the Genie box? And would I be able to move it to a different room later if I wanted to? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4

    Accessing other DVR's from currently viewed DVR

    Exactly what I am talking about. With technology today, I don't see why this hasn't been implemented yet. Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2

    Accessing other DVR's from currently viewed DVR

    Yes, I have that. I can view what HAS been recorded, but how can I view the To Do list on the other receivers? Like what is going to be recorded in the future. If I need to double check if a show is going to be recorded, I don't want to have to run to the other room to pull up the menu. Or like...

    Accessing other DVR's from currently viewed DVR

    We have 4 DVR's in the house. While I am watching in the living room, is it at all possible somehow to view things such as the To Do list on the other DVR's? This would be very beneficial. Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2

    The last three nights Fox has not been broadcast in HD. So the American Idol finale was not in HD!!! I've just emailed the local affiliate and DirecTV. Anyone know of any issues going on with Fox besides them sueing Dish, which shouldn't have anything to do with this. It would also be nice too...
