    Disillusioned tv streamer, and former DTV sat customer, has a question regarding equipment

    I was last a DirecTV satellite customer more than 10 years ago, and I am considering returning to the fold in the near future as I am disillusioned with streaming tv. I still have their satellite dish on my house. Would they reuse the dish as is, or will they replace it with a new model. Have...

    This is crazy

    I live in a rural area where we have recent access to spectrum gig, and AT&T's idea of competition for that is 12mbps or less. We're hoping that soon Starlink will be able to provide some actual competition to spectrum. I had AT&T 12mbps and Directv for two years but switched to a spectrum...

    ON-DEMAND DOWN

    I did try resetting the box, and that seemed to work by at least adding shows to the queue but then nothing would download. I've had issues over the last few days, and I was coming to believe they were networking issues on my part. I hope it gets resolved soon.

    New HD Install Questions...

    Install went smoothly. He used the existing wiring. I got an HR21-100 new in box as well as a basic receiver for the 2nd TV. After being with DISH all these years, I feel lost with the menus, channels and recording options, but I guess that's to be expected. :)

    Directv DVR

    I saw that commercial too last night. Is that snap your fingers to pause and start the DVR real or made up? They didn't say one way or the other, and it got me wondering.

    DirecTV questions before signing up again

    I'm planning to get a 1 room install of the DirecTV DVR in a spare bedroom with the Total Choice package. I'm a former D* customer before I switched to cable about 3-4 years ago. I've since moved, and switched from cable to DISH, but I've kept the same phone number. Would I be considered a new...
