    Direct TV On Demand - Nothing free???

    What is the deal with Direct TV On Demand? 3.99 for Karate kid? I thought there were supposed to be thousands of free movies but the only ones I see are from the channels I already have and could more easily record them than download from the internet. Everything else costs $$$. I was...

    Switching HD Reciver to HD DVR

    I am in the process of doing the same thing. I am wondering if you have 2 HDDVR's hooked up on whole house DVR do you actually see 4 things being recorded on each DVR's recording guide? (2 from the one you are looking at and 2 from the other HDDVR that is connected) Thanks, Jeff

    I did get the slimline dish but installer said SWM built in is about 2 months away. I have 4 wires from dish to basement then 1 wire to HDDVR in living room and 1 wire to SD standard reciever in bedroom from there. Jeff

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    If I am not mistaken the hard drive is in operation all the time unless the unit is unplugged. Just rechecked the box - brown cardboard with direct tv emblem on the top left and HD DVR in big black on the bottom. No white box and no blue tape, although that is how the standard reciever...

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    It came in a standard brown cardboard box with "HD DVR" printed in black on the top of the box. My standard reciever came in a white box. By the way, the unit makes the clicking noise even with the power off. Jeff

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    Just called tech support and they are sending me another HDDVR which should be here in 2 days. Tech support thinks installer may have dropped it. So far other than the dvr noise we are very pleased. The install was very good and clean and he had to wire through a crawl space so we tipped him...

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    Continious clicking noise that is even audible with TV volume turned up. The clicking did stop a couple times during boot-up but ever since it is continous. I think I am going to call it in and see if I can get a replacement. Jeff

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    The record and playback functions work fine. But is it normal for the HR21-100 to make a fairly loud clicking noise while powered on? It is setting next to my 622 which is comparably silent. I mentioned it to the installer who said it was fan noise and I would get used to it. Sounds more...

    Direct TV install - only 1 wire to dual tuner

    Hey guys, I am getting Direct installed today and the installer tells me he is using Directs new technology requiring only 1 wire to the DVR instead of 2 as standard (for dual tuner install). He tells me this is his first install with this type setup. I will let you all know how it goes. Jeff

    Hey JAC, I have my install sched for march 9 and was just wondering what you think of the service and the DVR for Direct TV. Right now I am on the Dish Network HD only pack which is a bit limited in programming for us. But if the HR21 DVR has issues like I have read in some posts we might...

    I think I got the best deal as a new DirecTV customer

    Hi Jac, I'm sorry to say but I think all the Direct TV sales people have all the promos mixed up. I just spoke with a sales supervisor and she told me the 20 off each month is last years promo and you will not see it on your bill if you signed up after the first of the year no matter what the...

    Directv $20 off for 12 months

    Are you sure about that? The website states the new promotion is 10 dollars off for 12 months, not 20.

    New here, and I need HELP...

    Correction - This does apply in my state - being Colorado. You will have to check your state laws to see if it applies for you. Any State law governing early cancellation will trump Direct TV cancellation policies.

    New here, and I need HELP...

    However, I do not believe this applies during the 30 day trial period. If she is not satisfied with the service she should be able to return the equipment at no charge within 30 days. This is a policy with cable and satellite companies. It also applies for cell phone companies.

    Thinking about signing up for DirecTV?

    I'm pretty sure he did not get it for that price. The D sales people are confused about promos and often get the instant 100 off promo (making cost of HDDVR 199) mixed up with 100 off first bill (which is not a valid promo). However the price for the D HDDVR is supposed to go down on 1/10/08...

    Canceling An Install

    I do not have a link but I did call 3 different CSR's one being in the referral dept and they all confirmed with their supervisors when I asked if they were sure about this promo. It is a brand new promo. Jeff

    Canceling An Install

    Thats not correct. I just inquired about pricing by calling Direct and they are now offering 100 off first bill which brings the 199 down to 99. If you use a referral you can get it down another 50 to 49 bucks. Jeff
