    I Need Help/Advice Re: Possible DirecTV Scam

    I waited for the letter, and when it never arrived, I contacted DTV; they said they would send me the Reward Card, but they didn't. Longhorn23 said he had the same problem, so, as I wrote in another post: This looks more and more like the business plan of AT&T/DirecTV: fraud and conspiracy to...

    I Need Help/Advice Re: Possible DirecTV Scam

    See the post by longhorn23, above. This looks more and more like the business plan of AT&T/DirecTV: fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud.

    Both times? Highly unlikely. And besides, I look at all of our junk mail.

    I Need Help/Advice Re: Possible DirecTV Scam

    Hopefully someone here can help me re: an apparent scam that DirecTV is running. In December 2018, I received a letter from DirecTV offering me a $200 Visa Reward Card if I signed up for service from DirecTV. So I called, arranged for service, and was told that I would be sent a letter with...

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    As the OP, I'm requesting that this thread be closed, since it has devolved into something unpleasant. Thank you.

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    Unfortunately, it appears that you are correct. Most of the people on this forum are intelligent, reasonable, kind people who are willing to help, but there are a few exceptions, and they are the ones who stand out. I just added another person to my Ignore List, which is my solution to dealing...

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    What I "just don't understand" is how people can misconstrue what I thought was a simple question about feature availability. Nowhere in this thread did I complain or 'kvetch'. I was aware of GenieGO, but I was hoping that DTV might have something similar to Dish's product, and whether or not...

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    My first reaction to your post was going to be rude, but I decided to take the high road and leave you down in the swamp. If you had CAREFULLY read my original post, you would have noticed that the first sentence begins with "I'm a recent returnee to DTV from Dish...", which means that I am not...

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    The other thing 'good' about the current version is that everyone who buys into the current version puts an additional $99.00 into AT&T's pocket. ;) People with newer technology are having to spend $99.00 for hardware that they really wouldn't need if DTV were to implement a system like Dish's...

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    Thanks for the potentially good news ... as long as the price is the same as Dish's price: free. The Dish product does not require any hardware; programs are downloaded to tablets and phones via the Internet. I hope that DTV does the same thing.

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    Hmmm. The feature is free on Dish but $99.00 on DirecTV.

    Quick Question re: NFL RedZone

    Can I get NFL RedZone without Sunday Ticket? As a new DTV customer, I have Sunday Ticket and RedZone, but when I don't renew Sunday Ticket next year, will I also lose RedZone? Thanks, Richard

    DTV Have Feature Like Dish Anywhere?

    I'm a recent returnee to DTV from Dish, and I'm wondering if DTV has a free service like Dish's Dish Anywhere which allows users to transfer recorded programs from their DVR to a tablet or phone. On a long flight, it's nice to have one's own movies available to watch on a tablet, for instance...

    Help Me With My Decision

    Our household is one of the 13% of U.S. TV households that have lost a channel due to the Greed War between DTV and Raycom. In our case, we’ve lost the CBS station in Tucson. The first NFL weekend is in a few days, and I won’t be able to watch the games on CBS after this weekend’s free NFL ST...

    HR24 Software 0x7eb Search issue

    Yes! This is almost unbelievable. It seems to be a clear indication that DTV does very little testing of its new software releases. This isn't some obscure procedure that people seldom do. I, and I'm sure many others, frequently use the Search feature. How could this boneheaded blunder have...

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    Claude, I don't know if you were addressing your comment to me, but if you were, then thanks, but I've been with DTV for 16 months, plenty of time to do a good compare and contrast evaluation of Dish and DTV.

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    Picture Quality Different strokes for different folks, but I’m counting the days until the end of my 2-year commitment with DTV, and I can return to Dish, where I was a customer for 13 years. I won’t go into all the reasons why I don’t like DTV, because I don’t want to get into the usual ‘My...

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    Wow!! You DirecTV fanboys are incredible!! You wrote 'IF this had happened..', so I suppose you're implying that I lied? Or I can't read my Series Manager? And how do you know that it 'ONLY' happened on my DVR? Only a miniscule portion of DirecTV's millions of total subscribers read and post...

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    My point, and I think the point of others in this thread, is that if DirecTV and Dish both use guide data from Tribune Media Services, then why does Dish get it right and DirecTV get it wrong? Also, faulty guide data doesn't explain a program disappearing from my Series Manager; this indicates...

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    I’ve been following this thread since it started and even posted in response to the OP. I’ve resisted posting again, but I finally gave in and decided to get involved again. I was a Dish subscriber for 13 years but came over to DirecTV in order to receive the new customer discounts. As...

    Change Skip Duration?

    Has anyone tried changing '30SKIP' to '20SKIP'? I might try it just out of curiosity. ;)

    Change Skip Duration?

    Is it possible to program the DirecTV RC65X remote for an HR24-200 to skip something other than 30 seconds? For instance, skip 20 seconds? With the NFL's hurry-up offenses, 30 seconds is too long. Thanks, Richard

    As a current DTV and former Dish customer, all I can say is, 'Amen, brother'.

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    Thanks, Aliens. Aliens, thanks for following through on this. Since DTV and Dish receive the same information, and Dish displays the episode number and DTV doesn't, perhaps you could ask that DTV also display the episode number in the base program information, so that we don't have to drill...

    "info" on programs - confusing.

    I have an HR24-200. Regarding PQ, my old eyes can't discern any difference between DTV and Dish. However, using the DTV guide and changing channels are NOTICEABLY slower than with Dish, frustratingly slower. Also, even after a year, I still haven't gotten used to the black menu background...
