    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    Haven't really watched any myself at house since the intial launch date. My son is watching it a lot though because it has ESPN (dish flex pack lacks it). Initial quality was better than dish network I will admit, maybe 15-20% better. Will check it out again later today or tomorrow to see how...

    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    Am I correct in saying most all the guide channels are live? I compared four or five of them in the small amount of time I've played with it since signing up last week and they were all live channels. Overall it has every channel I want other than locals of course which I knew going in. It's...

    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    Signed up for the 3 months with Apple TV. Don't have an apple but have wanted one for awhile so it's worth it to try out. Only checked it out for about 5 minutes on my phone but the channel selection is killer. It's missing a couple locals but has everything else that most consider the most...

    Install Scheduled..Chances of getting HR44 vs HR34?

    So the DTV guy came to install Friday and i was very surprised that he could not find a signal! When i bought the house in 2007 there was a DTV dish on the roof but i never activated it and called dish instead for service. He said the neighbors tree was killing me and that is the direction i...

    Install Scheduled..Chances of getting HR44 vs HR34?

    Thanks, do they ever included any of the freebies they give you in the ETF? Like Sunday Ticket, Costco $200 gift card....It seems like those two alone cover the ETF fee value wise even if you paid it in full.

    Need Advice for new Genie install on 5/23/14

    I was just looking around at the latest versions of hoppers and genies. I was surprised you can them for sub $250 easily from reputable sellers or on eBay for even cheaper. Does directv allow you to purchase your own equipment and they just install the dish and check current cabling to...

    Install Scheduled..Chances of getting HR44 vs HR34?

    Alright so I cancelled my install for tomorrow, still debating as of now to change that back to tomorrow via the wEbsite which is still showing two openings. I'm probably overthinking stuff now and getting cold feet. What would be the cancellation fee after 12 months if I decided to...

    Install Scheduled..Chances of getting HR44 vs HR34?

    Do they call the day or day before? I got the automated call already from DTV to confirm appointment.

    RE: DISH v. Directv - Signal level

    I was looking at my signal strenght on my hopper this morning before I went to work and it was around 65! I have not checked it in about a year but it was always around 75-80, but never higher. Going to keep an eye on it for a couple days until my DTV install takes over.

    Install Scheduled..Chances of getting HR44 vs HR34?

    Hi, Finally taking the plunge after a few months if debating. Install scheduled for Thursday. I put in the notes to the installer that I would like a HR44 rather than a HR34 after reading the differences between the two. Plus IMO if you are signing up for new service you should be...

    Thinking of switching from Dish to DTV...Questions

    Still thinking about switching now again...This whole thing of being charged a ETF fee with no grace period still boggles my mind though. Would i have a better chance of getting something like a grace period if i called?

The chat specialist showed up so i asked him if there was a grace period after installation and he said no, if i cancel the next day i am charged with a $15 fee on...

    Thinking of switching from Dish to DTV...Questions

    So i have been a pretty happy customer of Dish Network for about 7yrs now. However I am pretty unhappy with the new updates to my 1st generation hopper and how it has effected it's speed and also giving other issues at the same time(freezing ect..) I tried getting a 2nd generation Hopper but...

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    Not sure Id it's all my moms wine I drank here the last couple hours but I am loving the GUI of the hr24...the black is very nice over the gray of the hopper I just had installed. Still to soon to tell if I am hooked but I am really liking what I see so far :)

    Called them up this morning and they are going to send a supervisor out tomorrow between 12-5. Hopefully the guy will be able to figure something out.

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    She texted me last night and said Comcast wants $110 to put the connectors at each end of the new cable downstairs and liven up one of the dieting jacks in the kitchen! I am going to call directv today and see if they can meet me out there Friday evening

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    Dish is always my choice over directv and I have it myself. I actually just upgraded from the 922 to the hopper system today and love it :D. However, there are trillions of trees blocking her view of dishes satellites, absolutely no chance of dish ever pretty much. Directv though has a perfect...

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    Ya I realize that..I was a contractor for many years. My original question was basically about doing it myself and how much the Cable cost and where to get it. Then we got into this discussion :)

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    Its funny you say that, the basement tv line could run down the back of the house, the kitchen one she wants could be done the same way and then come around the side of the house under the deck and into the kitchen as the all is adjoining. The second floor one could go straight through the...

    Directv denied...Has anyone replaced there own old wiring with new in an existing setup?

    Thanks for for the replies but I am confused now. They can't be horrible installers if they chose not to install because of having to fish walls correct? You both seem to call them bad installer but then say they are not required to fish walls? Bottom line though would the service still work...
