    Fee to cancel protection plan?

    If you cancel it within a year from signing up they charge you the fee. I'm sure they will waive it and the monthly fee if you ask and state you never wanted it.

    DTV's Questionable Autopay procedures

    I think if you use a debit card then you get the two week notice, otherwise little to no notice. At least that is what I remember reading somewhere a long time ago...

    DECA Question

    Yes. It worked for me! Saved me a lot of trouble vs running new cat5 to the other rooms.

    New Default Channel?

    I noticed that on my hr-22 that whenever I power my box off when I turn it back on it is on the Cinema channel. It no long stays on the channel it was on so it no longer records. I tested this and it does it even if the box is turned off for a minute. This just started in the last hour or so...

    Certificate of Insurance Question

    I had to get a 1 million dollar liability policy to have my dish, and maintain it as long as I have the dish up. Are you sure they are not looking for that insurance and not one on the tech?

    Re-furbished HR21?

    I thought the upgrades always came with new and the replacements could be refurbished. I would call and raise hell about it, they are committing you to a new 2 year agreement with used equipment. Tell then they either need to reduce the commitment time to one year or send out a new box that...

    Cast and Crew Listing

    It takes my HD-DVR 7-10 days to download all the info after the data is lost. I bet if you give it a few days more and more data will become available. I would select a program a week out on the guide, make note of what info is available and come back the next day.

    Wierd HD-DVR Issue

    Have a program set to record from 5-8 every morning. This morning I go to play it but the show is in my playlist but when I play the show it is 30 seconds from Gem TV. The light on the DVR is not light, but when I hit record on the show (as it still is on) a pop up message indicates that it is...

    New Customer Install: 30 Day Grace Period?

    The 14 day window only applies in certain states, and if you order through Direct Sales (through DirecTV directly) AND the information you receive in writing from DirecTV does not match what you have on your bill. So unless the price is different than what you have in writing AND you live in...

    Directv changing how we broadcast local channels.

    I have this message too, it just means your locals are moving from the 72 satellite and you will need MPEG 4 equipment (HD boxes) and a dish that can pull in the right satellite. If you have HD now AND all your boxes are HD (even if the tv is not) you are good to go.

    Why no AMC HD? (Now Live Sept 9th)

    Awe, you forget that D* is a business. While they may not make money lots of money off the PPV, the alternative is to PAY money to provide an HD feed. The cost of adding the HD channels at this point won't be offset by subscribers coming to D* or by sups not leaving because of the HD adds.

    Switching to Directv after 16 years at Dish. Questions about whole house, need internet connections

    You haven't seen the new GUI, have you? Even on my HR-22 the guide moves fast when scrolling through the guide... Now the channel change rate is less then desirable, but I have an HR-22 that is still downloading VOD channels.

    Question About Whole Home w/conection kit

    Currently I have a H23 connected to whole home. I was wondering if I can buy a switch and use the networking cable coming off the deca to feed the switch so I can connect other devices to the Internet around my H23 without running more cat5. Will this work? I understand that it may cause...

    Pick Directv Latinamerica from the US

    It is not going to work. The galaxy 3c has two different beams, one for North America and one for Latin America. While some of the channels may be duplicated, you would need to subscribe to appropriate north America package to receive. You can find coverage maps for DirecTV's Latin America at...

    Question about Movie Offers.

    I got a notification on my bill stating I could get 25 dollars cash back (in a gift card I think) when I purchase Starz. My question is can I order Starz online that includes Showtime free for three months and still get the cashback?

    Internet service through DirecTV?

    D*'s bundling department is a company that sells phone and Internet service... I believe they use allconnect (that's why they are willing to switch you to DSL and not willing to help you otherwise). Wait until your d* is installed then opt into joint billing through AT&T... You'll get your...

    Out-of-the-Blue DTV bill for "Tax Adjustment"

    Anything under 25 gets written off and not sent to the agencies anyway. I think they won't even worry about that balance if you ever go to sign up again and have a balance under 25.

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Why don't you read my post to see what I think of people trying to negotiate a better price for the ST. I also stated in my post my prior experience with this issue, and no, it's not on the install side. I am very much pro customer when it comes to helping customers out (if you doubt that...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Why do that? You knew ahead of time that it should have been free--I would have called D* then in there to resolve the issue. What's your angle? Trying to get the installer fired for trying to feed his family? Do you want D* to pull the money back out of his pocket? Trying to play both sides...

    New DTV Subscriber Install Question

    Joe, the "free" pole for LOS installs has been free since at least 2007--maybe installers got away with charging for them in the past, but It's not a new change... As for the apartment complex install, the pole is only included for LOS issues, not permission issues. Sure you may find a...

    Another HR24-100 Freezing Thread (w/ a possible twist)..

    I have this problem from time to time with my HR 22-100; I was told to unplug the cable from the sat to the IRD an touch the core of the cable (something about static???) and to reset the IRD after that. I do it once a week and have no trouble--it sounds hokie, but if I don't do it I get the...
