AT&T of years ago does not exist, the current AT&T is SBC that bought the rights to the dying AT&T brand years ago. SBC sucked more than AT&T.

The satellite provider pays all this, in exchange the local OTA broadcaster reaches more people and potentially increases ad revenue from have a larger audience. The broadcaster basically is getting greedy by double dipping.

Was Directv in 1995 when ti was $800 for single TV setup, left for Dish in 2001 becasue Dish was offering better deals. Stayed with Dish until early 2016 when I moved to Xfinity for Internet and could not resist the bundles, was also tired of the constant rate hikes, fees and disputes. 8 month...

DTV's biggest mistake was letting go of TiVo as a partner. Hopper just crushes Genie in the technology area, DTV has edge in PQ and a few other things.

I agree they get to use the airwaves for free and retransmit should be part of that ability to use the airwaves for free.

I have 2 Dish dishes on the roof now, from what I can tell the DTV mast will be different, can anyone tell me what the current dish setup is for DTV? I want to try and avoid them putting more holes in my roof.

Thanks. I see the AM21 is pricey so will skip it. I am going to look into a nice 3TB AV drive and eSata case before my install. I will use Dishpointer, but should be good since disk 110/119 were good.

I started with DTV back in 1995 when it was $800 and stayed with them 6 years until Dish had some better deals. I then stuck with Dish until earlier this year when I was tired of PQ, channel disputes and their constant nickel and diming fees. I had gotten Comcast Internet becasue UVerse was just...

Excellent, thanks!

GF is currently a Dish customer and is thinking of moving to DTV since their Russian International package is better. She would get a Genie and need 1 client. I see the Client connects via a cable to the Genie, is it a direct run? Today she has 2 Dish receivers in different parts of the house...

So if I hook up this AM21 that is a OTA tuner? Does that allow me to DVR from that tuner or is it a strictly watch it live only? And if it can record does that mean I can be recording 3 shows at once, 2 from the SAT and 1 from the OTA? Anyone have this AM21 yet? Seems to be real new?

There does not appear to a current DirecTV HD DVR that offers a OTA DVR option? This is the only thing stopping me from dumping Dish and going to DirecTV. Would be nice to have a UHF out as well so I can pipe the output of one tuner throughout the house.

What we had 15 years ago is not the point, it is what can I get today, I can get more features from one than the other. Didn't mean it was technically bad, but if it does not offer features the competition does that I want then why woudl I give up what I have. Sure E* customer service sucks...

I need OTA DVR, I often have 3 programs recording at once, 2 SAT and one OTA. My only other option woudl be to get 2 DVRs from them, not sure how practical that is especially from an inputs to my Home Theater concern. My understanding is also that the OTA tuner is not as good as the E* DVR as...

Funny I am browseing this forum to check out D* because E* customer service is among the worst of any company I have dealt with, CONSISTENTLY!! You have to fight with them all the time, even to get service. They only want the cherry easy installs, virtually impossible to get them to do roof...

Thanks I'll look into that I don't need the 2 TVs to be seperate programming, they can both viw same thing, I live alone. I do like the 622 ability to record 2 SAT and OTA concurrently, it is rare, but I do find it useful during some times. .

OK I have been Dish for a few years, hate them, their HD roll out sucks and customer serivce is the pits. Their dish gets bigger and bigger and now they wont; do roof installs. So I wam thinking DirecTV, but if I read the stuff right the HR21 is the current top of the line HD DVR, but it does...

OK, I started with DirecTV in 1995 and switched to Dish in 2000 so I guess I'm over due to switch back. I love the flexibility the Dish 622 DVR gives me, 2 SAT and 1 OTA to get up to 3 events at once, which I have to do at times. How is the DirecTV HD DVR in comparison? Dish has periods where...

I am sore from a 921 and was wondering what your return policy is? I am not expecting to need it, but after going through two 921s and giving up I am reluctant to order one unless I know I can return it if there are problmes. My main concern is OTA DTA. I will be using the DVR for 50%+ OTA DTA...

I guess one other note, if anyone has had both whihc has better OTA capabilities? Witht he 921 PBS, CBS and TBS are barely good for me so if the D* HD DVR OTA tuner is not as good as the 921 then I might loose channels. Woudl totally defeat the purpose.

I guess the thread got off track a bit. I had a horribel expierience with the 921, 2 bad ones and horrible or was that non-existent support from E*. So I am going through OTA DTA DVR withdrawal and was thinking of jumoing to D*. Yeah I might wait 6 minths, but then I miss the rest of 24, Lost...

I was with D* from 95-00 then Dish since then. Recenlty got 921 and nothing but bugs. I am tired of E* and their bad customer service. I am thinking about switching to D* with their HD-DVR. Has anyone else goen from a 921 to Directv? How does it compare? Does the OTA receiver in the D* work as...
