    Looking To Move To Direct

    I was looking to switch from Dish to DTV and find info hard to come by on their site. I called and was connected somewhere that English is not the 1st language. 1. Are locals included in package prices? 2. What DVR do you get? 3. Are the minis wireless? 4.How many events can be recorded at one...

    Yet another "Should I switch?" thread

    That is how my wife uses ours too. I absolutely refuse to watch commercials when I am already paying for the programming. Even live sports we record and just stay behind real time.

    Yet another "Should I switch?" thread

    Could you please give a more detailed explanation of how it does that without using an extra tuner? Only having 5 tuners is the only thing keeping me away from DTV. Thanx

    Yet another "Should I switch?" thread

    As much as I would like to save a few bucks by going back to DTV, it is really difficult to go back after you have had the Primetime feature of recording all the networks on 1 tuner everyday and having 15 tuners left to record other shows with the Hopper 3. How I would like to save $ is via ala...

    Yet another "Should I switch?" thread

    I was reading this thread as I am in the same boat wanting to dump Dish but not sure the wife can live with only 5 tuners. I have a very slightly used AM21 if anyone is interested.

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    How much is the monthly extra charge to add the HR-24 along with the Genie? I was told $7 per month by a rep. Is that correct?

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    I had hoped that they were feeling the pressure and asked about getting 2 Genies. They still say only 1 per customer.

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    I had 2 HR-24's with DTV = 4 Not enough I had 2-Hopper with Dish = 6 Barely enough Hopper 3 with 16 is way more than enough DTV Genie at only 5 is definitely not enough but adding an HR-24 would probably work at 7 total

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    Spike- Thank You very much for the very in depth explanation. A couple quick questions. 1. Does that 72 hr. rewind include all the network shows like ABC,CBS,NBC? 2. Does the HR-24 become part of the whole home so it and the Genie's recordings can be viewed from any location? 3. How much did...

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    I left D** several years ago because of constant price increases and having to call and beg for discounts to keep my bill at a sane level to watch mostly commercials. Now after 2 years with D*** it is the same deal. However they seem to have several features D** does not have like 16 tuners...

    New Customer Genie Questions

    I got a survey from DTV asking about my experience. I told them how about the 2 Genies and owning it and how pushy the sales guy was. But I doubt they really read them.

    New Customer Genie Questions

    Exactly. What is DTV's big deal about having 2 Genie's? With the competition having 16 tuners and Prime Time they better do something. People are getting sick and tired of constantly paying more for service to watch more commercials. There are other ways to get most of the programming free...

    New Customer Genie Questions

    We can blame it on whoever but the end result is the shows are not complete if you just do the scheduled times. :) I believe it is done on purpose to affect people that use DVR's to avoid the endless commercials. It is not just the networks it is channels like Science also. How it's made runs...

    New Customer Genie Questions

    I agree 16 are not needed but we always run into conflicts if you set the shows to start and end 2 minutes early so you can record the whole show. The flyer does say you can visit the store. The 877# is nothing more than untrained sales people telling you anything you want to hear to get the sale.

    How is DTV competing with the Hopper 3's 16 tuner capability if 5 is the max available?

    New Customer Genie Questions

    The # on the flyer is 877-777-0169. I was quoted $299 for the 2nd Genie or $199 for a 3 tuner DVR (HR24 I assume). If I go the 1 Genie and 1 regular 3 tuner DVR does it work as a whole home setup where all recordings can be viewed from any TV?

    New Customer Genie Questions

    I am a current Dish customer that is tired of my bill going up every month. I got the latest "Best Deal Ever" from DTV in the mail with guaranteed pricing for 2 years for ATT customers. I called to ask a few questions and was instantly told lies. Like 1 Genie and 2 minis equal 15 tuners. The one...

    Appointment Set After Receiving Great Directv Genie Upgrade Deal

    I had been a customer for over 4 years with 2 HR24s and WHDVR and Extra package. Close to $100 per month. I asked for a Genie upgrade and was told $349 plus $49 upgrade fee and $49 install and new 2 yr contract. I questioned 3 tiers of CS reps about it but no better deal. I am now a Dishnet...
