No I have never used 16 tunes at the same time. But consider 4 people watching something. Anything. Each person while watching 1 thing, each record 1 thing. That's 8 tuners. If you wanted to start anything new or additional. Now you have conflicts and issues. Whats the max on the Gene? 5? Just...

Jimbo thanks for the comments. It seems however you are speaking just for yourself? First I would be surprised if anybody watch's 16 tuners at one time. That's a question asked and answered by you. At least I hope so. I have 6 TV's all LCD.Two 4k sets. Four 1080P sets. I have two teenage young...

I was unable to get DTV because I have no LOS. I have wanted to try it as my bill with Dish just keeps going up. However the Dish/DVR Hopper with 16 tuners is unmatched. Is there any whispers of new tech coming to DTV? Tree's by the end of the month are gone. Emerald Ash Borer. :) Thanks

Guy was here if he could have moved around on the roof he would have done install. Too much snow. I decided to cancel and wait till spring. Enough screwing around. besides getting NFL ticket free for three games not that big a deal. Thanks for all the input.

Well this morning is the day of the redo. Have the 8 to 12. Of course it's snowing. Hope that has no effect, very light. Cross my fingers!

Sounds like a have to make a call I have a install rescheduled. They were going to include The kit for free , then she said since I would be getting a HR44, I would not need it because it is internal? Thanks for the reply.

Is the kit built in on the HR44? Using the On demand feature, say for Prime time shows. Or seeing a episode of "Hell on Wheels" That was missed. Is there a extra cost? I was told that old Receivers you needed tp purchase the kit for like $75. But the new receivers have the kit built it. Just...

I didn't really deal with a store. So not sure what brick and motor store I can go to. The person on the phone said I could get a additional 100 VISA. If the senior tech finds and issues when he comes the try and complete install. She took a list of my issues. And she is going to have him...

Well I called up got to a supervisor. I rescheduled install. Picked a Saturday, so I would not have to take another day off. Will have to see how it goes.

Thanks I plan on following up. I have to check to see how to contact install without going thru all the numbers and automated stuff. I really believe if it was summer he would have got it done. And the way he blamed the phone app for the mistake made me made as well. Thanks

So 0n 12-2-2013 . My install time is between 12 and 4. Guy gets thereat 3:15 PM. Does site servey. Uses his app on his phone to find a spot to put dish. Open at equipment in kitchen to allow stuff to warm up. Very cool stuff by the way. And it would have been wireless he gave me that option. We...

Thanks

Having install done tomorrow. Looked over paper work, says they added protection plan to order. I do not want this. If I cancel right away is there any issues? Thanks

I am not a DTV expert by any means, but. If I try to answer and I am wrong be assured I will be corrected. I just ordered and yes they sway you to all clients . I asked for and paid for a HR-24/lease 199. I insisted. I wanted more tuners. Here's were some guessing comes in. The Gene can be used...

I am getting the HR44 for free. new costomer. Then if I want to add a HR24 for more tuners it would be another 199. Also looking at the AM21 for OTA. Unclear if that adds to the tuners or takes the place of? 5 people in the house, more tuners more better! I may try and insist on a better deal...

Direct will sell it for 199.00. Has anybody had a less expensive experance? Thanks

Well earler in the thread I stated I would wait for the HR44. I saw a DTV van and installer while driving. He was setting up so I stopped to talk to him. After I explained my concern he showed me inside his truck and he had like 25 HR44's and said that's all they carry. Not sure why the rep told...

Did a little checking found a list of city's were HR44 have been reported to be installed. Milwaukee WI was one which is 30 miles from me? Has been suggested setup install. When the tech calls ask if he has the 44 on the truck if he does not reschedule or cancel. That may work. Not sure if I...

I am not loaded but I also want the latest tech. and 199 is not bad to make it right. I would need a second DVR because my daughter uses a lot of timers. So free with problems or 199. Not sure when the HR44 will be here but I can keep checking. Even ask a truck when out and about. :)

Sorry. Mis stated. 1 Gene. and a second DVR. I assumed it was a Gene. Not familiar with all of Directs equipment. Either way second box is 199. and no HR44 in my area.

Well I went to Direct's web site asked if the HR44 was available in my area, and it is not. Only the HR34. So I will be waiting for the HR44. Sucks because I was going to make it happen and get the two Gene's. :(

Thanks for the info. I am still researching. Called up as if I was going to order,got more info. I would get a Gene for free, 2 clients. some kind of entertainment pack for on demand. And if I wanted another DVR HR44 $199.00 out of pocket. 24 months. Ultimate pack. Whats left of NFL ticket. All...

Won"t more DVR's be more $. Also I checked the rear view on the Gene, I can run composite to tv's 5 and 6 with my rf modulator.

Couple of folllow up questions. I read a newer Smart TV , either Samsung or Sony is a plus? And Can you hook up on receiver to other tv's and watch same programming? I have that now witch is nice cuz it saves on equipment. One is in a sunroom other is in garge. 2 main are two kids ,living room...

Looking for a quick look. Have Dish using VIP722K's nice DVR. Thinking about going to Direct Gene with 4 TV's hooked up. They have some nice deals. Questions I have are what would I gain or lose with this move. looking at 225 on Direct. Have 200 on Dish. Are DVR's about the same is there a 30...
