    HR24 vs. VIP722

    The main reason the TV 2 is turned off on the 922 is that it has built in Sling, which runs off TV2s tuner. They don't want people watching their Sling shows out on the road on their laptops and changing the TV2 picture in the house. It may be that the 922 will stay more of a single TV box like...

    HR24 vs. VIP722

    I know that this thread asks for comparison on the HR24 vs 722, but that really isn't fair. The 922 is the new top of the line from E* just like the HR24 is new for D*. If you aren't going to use the top of the line E* model than you should use the HR23. I haven't had time w/a 922 yet but from...

    HR24 vs. VIP722

    How does 12x21 = 480.00? Also if you were only running 1 tv with each rec you should have had 612s not 622/722, would have saved you $14.00/month. The primary receiver, no matter what model it is is free, so you could have a 722/612/612 for the same as 612/612/612. If you had a 722 you could...

    DTV has gone insane-24 month for changing programming???

    Although this sucks and seems heartless, why is it E*s or D*S responsibility to revoke the contract because of the customers bad luck. If you buy a car and total it 6 months later you still have to make the payments. You might have insurance that pays it off but your homeowners might pay off the...

    DTV has gone insane-24 month for changing programming???

    As Scott said, this IS happening to some customers. We had a customer in our shop, 2 days ago, talking to a D* CSR for 45+ minutes discussing why his contract was extended for 24 months (21 months left) when he had a receiver replaced, under wtty, 3 months ago. He also asked the CSR, point...

    DTV has gone insane-24 month for changing programming???

    We have sold/installed D* & E* for over 12 years. Yesterday we learned that Directv is now extending their contract with the customer 24 months when ever the customer does ANYTHING. Call in and change your programming, 24 month commitment. Have a defective reciever replaced under warranty, 24...

    Seattle Locals in HD

    I am 25 miles north of Seattle so OTA is not really an option. I live 75 miles SW of Seattle and get HD KCPQ(FOX)OTA, and E* gives me ABC,CBS and NBC. Usually we find anyone within 30-40 miles of the tower gets HD locals w/o a prob. Check http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx. I...
