Thanks Jimbo, smiling. I know they weren't supposed to give them to me but after I explained that we tried everything to receive them (and it was analog at that time) they finally gave in. I had found out that others in my area had been given them so they really had no choice. We live where...

I do have the national locals and it took me a MONTH of crying, screaming, threatening AND trying to be nice and cordial about it. They would not give them to me because I live within 70 miles of some of the stations and of course the stations would not give me waivers even though they came out...

Yep, squeaky wheel gets the grease, I whined and got what I wanted, unfortunately in today's world that's what you have to do. As far as the difference in HD for the both, if it turns out to be crappy with dish I'll have to just say oh well and be stuck with it for 2 years. We're most excited...

I'm sure it's legal but if you don't buy it from best buy, etc and buy it on ebay or say from a friend, there isn't anything saying to look at the policy online, etc. That's why I think when you call in to activate or change anything the FIRST thing they make clear is any legal issues such as...

Update I called Dtv yet again. I told the gentleman the situation and told him I probably need a supervisor, he said he would look back into my account and see what was going on. The more I thought about things the more I realized that I don't think this was the time that I had bought the...

I'll have to see if I can dig up the box, maybe I saved it...but I didn't pay too much for it...I believe it was under 200, think around 150? Yes, obviously I did open the access card packet, and no I didn't read it..my fault there, definately. I'm not blaming D totally, but like the girl told...

Ok, first off, I bought the receiver on ebay so there was no big blurb on the box about 24 months...the agent last night mentioned that too and I said I don't even have the box to prove whether it was or not but I have a pretty good memory and that's something I would have noticed right off the...

Been a Dtv subscriber for 5 years. The past few days been contemplating switching over to dish because of the free hd and the cheaper price in general. In the meantime I had called D and they were going to come this week to install free hd for 2 years. I decided today I didn't want to do it...

Ok, that makes sense...right now only need hd in the "main" room so this all works for me!

Gotta love competition!!!! I'm on Dish putting in what I want to see cost, etc....am asking for two dvr's, one HD and one reg. SD and it's not putting in the 17 dollar charge, it is showing 6 for dvr service and 10 for a receiver, maybe because it's an SD?

Sports I could care less about (sorry!), so that's not anything I'm even looking at. So, besides the sports issue, it looks like Dish has more to offer. Are you saying that Dish doesn't broadcast HD the same as D? If so that is an issue for me. It's just that in these times, saving money is...

I just went thru and compared HD channels, Dish has far more. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna switch, think it's worth it.

Just got off the phone with Dtv, I asked nicely what it would cost me to cancel service. They asked why, told them that Dish has free hd for life for ALL customers. The guy immediately said they can give me free hd for 2 years and then can call back in 2 years and get it again. BUT, because I...

I'll let her know that. I got the main question answered I guess, it can't be done the way she wants. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks, that pretty much answers it! I guess she could get a dvr from Time Warner and just stack them together! I'll leave it up to her.

As I said in my first question, a Dtv technician came and put up an OTA and they were unable to pull anything in. I live way out in the country and am unable to pull them in either from around here. Too many trees and mountains, etc. I don't know the model of the DVR I'll ask her on Monday, I...

I didn't find anything, guess I'll tell her to deal with it herself! : )

I'll do a search on it, thanks.

No, they aren't available and it will be a very long time until they are, it's a very small "city". Dtv came and tried an ota antenna and it wouldn't pick up anything.

No, she has been turned down for locals. I think the only one she was allowed was cbs. She has called numerous times to Dtv begging for the locals and they won't budge.

Hi all, a friend of mine is bugging the you know what out of me with this particular question. I'm pretty resourceful but can't find an answer anywhere. She has Directv (dvr, not sure which one but probably whatever comes free with the install) but cannot get local channels so has to purchase...

Update...now that I'm home I see what you mean, I did both and it's saying I only have 1 tuner connected. I'm really lost now as there are two cables coming into the tv and nothing has changed from when I was watching it normally a couple weeks ago. I went down and checked the multiswitch and...

Stupid question (because I'm not at home right now), what is the auto detect and where is that? The guided set up would kind of being like starting from scratch right? Sorry for being a dope!

I did a system test and it said "yes" for both tuners. I'm perplexed!
