    Samsung Directv Ready TV

    I bought one of these back in 2002 RCA CRT tv 38" with built in HD DirectV receiver. I paid an extra $7.00 a month for HD and received exactly 2 HD channels. Never had a problem with the receiver, of course when DirectV upgraded their HD receivers, I had to bypass the internal one. The TV if...

    What package/packages do you have? Are you "moved"?

    Mine ended November 1st, I had a Total Choice with 1 mini and equipment guarantee. $93 including tax. I also completed a D* exit survey. Suggested they offer packages and incentives without contracts especially if their AT&T merger goes through. Got a phone call from a D* higher up and a few...

    DirectV problem

    After being a customer of DirectV from 1997 to 2010 and then again in 2012, I thought I had studied and understood the company's policies. When I signed up again in 2012, I added the Equipment Protection and kept it throughout my contract period. Back in April of this year, my Genie bit the...

    Genie VS Tivo

    I would also consider staying with the Genie if I could sub with a HR44, however I've read in this forum that DTV doesn't guarantee this model as a sub. At the start of my last subscription contract I had a client installed in my family room that had a separate outlet for my Xfinity internet. As...

    Genie VS Tivo

    Thanks everyone, all good replies. With all the options, bundles and promotions, I want to make sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck. Under my contract that's ending with DTV, I have autopay and have free HD. I read other posts in this forum that stated DTV will most likely continue with...

    Genie VS Tivo

    I'm at the end of my 2 year contract and I'm down to the Genie (HR34) and no clients. I've been comparative shopping Fios vs Xfinity vs Directv the latter thinking of downgrading to a Tivo box from the Genie. Anyone know the costs involved? Is a Tivo subscription also required? I know that...

    Is this legit? (Sam's club/Directv)

    I know right! I do F&I for a car dealership and do the same to some of my potential customers. After my credit discussions they tell me that can get a better price at this dealership or a better apr with some other lending institution. I tell them they better jump at it then... and ask them why...

    genie issue

    mdram, Had the same thing happen and several of the forum members stated the HD in my Genie was crashing. Did you email or call DTV? I tried to call their 5000 number and the answering machine is looping, states that it is connecting to tech support and then starts the greeting all over again...

    Error messages on Genie self-check

    Thanks for the replies. I would have continued to reboot unaware the HD would fail and thanks Bob for relating your similar experience. I will call when within the next day or two and give myself an hour for the call to support. Sure glad I didn't discontinue my equipment protection.

    Error messages on Genie self-check

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience this problem.... I've done a search and didn't find any threads that matched my problem. Today for the 2nd time in a month my Genie lost it's picture and started doing a self-check. This went on for well over 4 hours with the notice on the TV screen...

    Parents: Beware, Your Under Legal Age Children Will Be Held Responsible For Your Account

    Jam3s, Your last paragraph is most likely true, and people can learn a lesson from this. I had Directv back in 97 and continued through the years with them until 2005. A couple years prior to that I decided to upgrade to HD and leased a receiver from an online retailer. I was told the receiver...

    Returning a receiver question

    I haven't had to deal with this since 2010, but I'm sure the "return box" contains a label to fix to the outside of the box to return the receiver in it. Procedures may have changed of course since then, but IMO I would call and request another return box or at least tell DTV your dilemma and...

    To cut or Not to Cut

    First off, Happy New Year to my fellow Satellite Guys members and thanks in advance for any comments, opinions or answers to my questions. I'm 16 months in to my contract and would like to add ShowTime to my subscription and pay for it by eliminating a client and the equipment protection. I'm...

    Thinking of moving to Directv, but then there's the HOA. Mounting advice appreciated!

    texasbrit is correct. SFH anywhere in your yard or on your house. Just not on a common area. If it's a condo, check your CCR's but usually not on any common area.

    HR34 with out internet connection?

    Since we're on the subject..... I changed modem +wireless router to a wireless modem. Everything is connected to my network including my smart BRdvd players but I can't seem to get an internet connection again with my genie. A client is wired to the modem in the same room and I believe my...

Lots have changed and in the past I've have two receivers, one built in that I owned and one leased. My first 2 bills from D*, I was not charged for the PP after the 3rd month the charge...

    Unsubscribed channels show in guide as bright white instead of dim......

    It's been 2 months since I re-signed with DTV and on two occassions had to reset Genie and the 2 clients as the clients screens would either freeze or every channel would be white. I notice too while changing channels too fast the box can't keep up and the headline has to go back to catch up...

    New C31 Client adds HDCP on ALL Channels.

    I bought a 23" lcd tv and a samsung dvd player with DVI output from Dell a while back. The DVI connection on the tv was not HDCP compliant so there was no picture when using the DVI input. Dell support told me " too bad" even though their website sold these 2 items as a package. Samsung support...

    Brian Urlacher must get his Comcast for free ;)

    Confused About Directv's Upcoming Plans

    Could that be RCA? I had one of those heavy monstrosities and I can tell you that 5 HD channels was the limit unless I added another separate HD tuner.
