I went to Select about a month ago and have to say I am not missing much. I thought I would miss SyFy but they really don't have much on now. I've got all the Eureka and Stargate reruns anyone could possibly ask for on Netflix. And when Mad Men starts back up I can get watch it on Amazon. Added...

Really hope Fargo HD gets into the mix soon. "Moving" to Minneapolis is fine as far as it goes. But this winter and following flooding has proven to me that local channels are a necessity here. I get the news I need OTA, so I'm fine. But if I had the choice I'd prefer the locals in HD from D.

I wish there was a way to remove the annoying banners that D inserts into the guide with or without favorites lists.

TCMHD is the one channel I really want. AMCHD and BBCHD would also be welcome additions.

Great list! Although the local regional sports channel isn't available on the sub choice channels you could add the sports pack and still come out ahead if you wanted. And if you are subscribed to ST you also get the NFL network. I'm seriously thinking of dropping down. Aside from sports and...

Called and they mentioned Select and Select choice as well as family. Is NFL network included in the Sports Pack?

What is the cheapest package available that allows the addition of Sports Pack and ST? Is Preferred Choice an option without an International Channel?

By not offering AMCHD, TMCHD and BBCHD after the successful launch of D12, DIRECTV has clearly signalled their intent not to engage in a channel by channel competiton with other providers. Fortunately Netflix and Hulu and Amazon offer reasonable work-a-rounds. I might not have pursued those...

I have not subscribed to hulu plus yet but the samples did not look that bad. As it is now, aside from sports, my family is using the Roku about 80% of the time versus Directv. We record anything we watch anyway so seldom see things the day it airs. If Directv adds TCM, AMC and BBC my...

Yes, the lack of national HD programing additions has been a disappointment so far. I would be more upset if I couldn't find a way around finding the specific AMC and BBC-A series in HD I'm hooked on from Roku. If it weren't for cheap access to Netfix and Amazon, I'd have jumped ship to E last...

The channel I want most is TCMHD. Especially with the holiday season approaching. The series I can get off Roku. Even if I pay a few bucks to Amazon its nice to get shows sans commercials and stored in a place where the kids can't lose the disks. That said...D really needs to add AMC and BBC...

Netflix/Roku.

If speed is the only difference I don't really mind the models I have. Generally when I change channels I just hit the pause key and wait for the picture to adjust. I wonder why it's so hard for them to straighten out the guide issue? It seems so simple.

Is speed the only difference between the HR24 and the earlier models? The only complaint I have with either my HR20 or HR21 is that DIRECTV has never corrected missing HD channels in the interface between FAVORITES and FILTER THE GUIDE (HGTV, COMHD, LIFEHD, HDTH, HDN, ABCFHD, HLMKHD still...

$134.00 (6 month 20 off plus a one time 64 credit). Got it 2 weeks into the season after previous calls were not productive. I had already gotten free Red Zone previously.

Just got redzone free by saying cancel service at the prompt and speaking with retentions. First time attempt and success. :)

I've wondered that too. But the 480p SD PQ on Netflix is at least watchable, many times better than either DIRECTV or Dish.

Does anyone know if there is anything in the works for a new HD user interface for the existing HR2x?

I have 1TB Calvary e-sata external drives connected on both my HR20-100 and HR21-700. I think they only cost 90.00 each. Purchased e-sata cable cheap at Monoprice, the cables that came with the Calvary were pretty flimsy.

Native resolution pass through on the HR2x is an option to have the DVR change the screen setting when you change a channel to match the resolution of the source (480i, 480p, 720p, 1081i or 1080p) automatically. In my opinion, it is the source of most complaints about sluggishness on the...

It's great to see some of the people I respected from the days I had with Dish over on this side of things. I hope it leads to more good DIRECTV commentary at Satguys. The other place just ain't the same.

Arvig Comm (ACS) 10meg is what I'm paying for. Funny thing is when I use their check speed it always shows above 10. Any other speed check shows around 7.

I'd suggest calling Directv. I see no reason you shouldn't be getting it

Good info. Thanks. And good luck on getting your discount too.

Is it a better strategy to add it, then call back before the season starts to cancel it? If you do the payment plan when do you get the first charge?
