    On Demand Requirements

    Sorry to double post after myself, but I do want to add something. Stonecold- I'm guessing you are an installer from all of the posts I see you make. It's a shame that you don't serve our area, because you seem like an installer who takes the time to understand the product, and do your best to...

    On Demand Requirements

    I think that is how all the confusion started in the first place. When the order was placed via the phone with D*, they said SD VOD was not a problem, and they were placing the order for the R22. This resulted in the first visit to the house, where the guy gets ready to go, then realizes he...

    On Demand Requirements

    Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. DirecTV has been out to the house twice now. The first without the correct receiver, and the 2nd time STILL without a proper receiver for VOD. Instead they brought a DVR for the bedroom, which they said was also on the order. This was...

    On Demand Requirements

    The problem is that they don't need the HD part, and, of course, the HD-ready receivers are a lot pricer than their SD counterparts. So they'd be paying extra for something they won't be using.

    On Demand Requirements

    Any idea where to come up with one of these? Everyone seems to be sold out and even local installer said they're having a hard time finding them.

    On Demand Requirements

    My parents are looking to upgrade their old D* system to give them on-demand options. Does anyone know what receiver is needed? They only view SD, so no need for anything fancy. Also do we need to move their router to the TV location from the computer room or just run a new ethernet cable?

    Verizon may bid for D*

    Yeah but every provider has their share of "idiot" techs and contractors. The guy who did my FiOS install was top notch, and said he was very happy working for them, especially doing all of the FiOS rollout stuff. I actually bumped into him a few weeks after my install at a bike race and...

    What's the deal with DirecTv's lease?

    The funny thing is that someone at D* told my Dad that he could go to Best Buy and purchase a new DVR from them and that he would own it. Obviously this wasn't the case, but he went anyway since it was a D* CSR who told him it was fine. After a trip to BB totalling 1+ hour of his time, he...

    Need Help With Reciever Issue...

    Thanks for the information guys. I looked at their bill today. It's not as detailed as my E* bill so I'm not even sure if they are being charged any sort of mirroring fee. All their bill says is: Premier Monthly 99.99 DVR Service (Included in base pkg.) 0.00 They have 2 receivers...

    Need Help With Reciever Issue...

    I'm an E* sub, but my parents have been with DirecTV since the PrimeStar days, so I'm not to sure how things work with DirecTV. A few years back they purchased one of the RCA (TiVO) DVR's, but recently it has started giving up the ghost. They are looking to replace it, but it seems everywhere...

    HD DVR - Non lease?

    I'm looking to see if anyone knows where you can purchase a HD-DVR for DirecTV, and what the current model number is? My parents are looking to upgrade, but they don't want to lease, since they've owned all their receivers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
