    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    I left Direct for Dish years ago and always thought the PQ was not as good. Glad to be back with Directv and its PQ.

    Back with Directv!!!!

    So what happens if you refuse the install for a 44? Will they bring you one or tell you too bad?

    DirecTV not sympathetic to death in family

    Also I'm sorry for your loss. My wife just went through the same thing with Directv about getting service cut back on and they made her pay the entire bill, not just the past due balance. If you love Directv, these things happen and we have to deal with them or leave. I've been threatening...

    Help explaining this......

    I was watching tv with my 2yr old daughter and I turned the channel to Ionw to watch a music video or whatever the guide said was on. Instead we got what turned out to be some kids channel called quobo. qubo.com She was instantly addicted to whatever animated show came on. Turns out this is...

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    VS gone. At least they waited for Any Given Sunday to end. Such a sad day.

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    For what it's worth, all my fishing shows come on VS and I would be crushed to see them go. If they don't want to broadcast to all the Directv customers then F em in the A. I hate it for all the hockey fans too. Shouldn't VS consider it an honor that Directv would even pick the channel up?

    Gonna try OTA

    Having an HR20, is that all I need or do I need a tuner also? I heard the HR20 already has tuners built in.

    Gonna try OTA

    I'm going to try to hook up an antenna to get whatever HD or SD channels that may exist in my area. I have a HR20. What equipment (if any ) besides an antenna do I need? Can you recommend a good antenna for me to get that won't break the bank? Thanks.

    Cutting back.

    Ok Directv helped me a bunch. At first they weren't saying much but when I mentioned that I was considering Dish to cut costs, they caved. I have Total Choice Plus, HD, and Showtime. I canceled Showtime and they dropped my price to $65 a month. I get to keep all my HD. The deal expires in 6...

    Direct DVR vs Dish

    OK so other than the equipment, How do Directv and Dish compare to each other? Programming, customer service, picture quality etc. I've been thinking about switching to Dish to get a lower bill but I've found that the bill is about the same but Dish might have a few more channels for the money.

    Cutting back.

    At first I thought I could just unsubscribe from the HD packages and the CSR told me I can't do that because I have HD equipment. Maybe I should just try it on the web site? I guess I will call and see what they can do to help me. If they won't help then Dish it is. How sad. Been with...

    Cutting back.

    As much as I hate to, I have to cut back on my tv bill. I have a HD DVR with all the HD packages. I'm having to cut it down to the bare minimum. Want to get a SD DVR and the basic package. How can I swap this around without it costing me a fortune? Will Directv just swap DVR's with me or do...

    aspect ratio settings?

    I guess i could have provided more info. My tv is a 16:9 HD Sony 46". It's an older model (takes up half the room) but the HD looks pretty damn good considering I don't have enough money to upgrade to a newer one. I get 1080i but not 1080p. I'm not sure how to set it and my HR20 together and...

    aspect ratio settings?

    My tv and DVR both have aspect ratio settings of 4:3 or 16:9 widescreen. Do I set them both to widescreen or what? For some reason I don't feel like my tv picture is what it should be. Doesn't ever look very letterboxy for lack of a better word. Thanks for the help.

    Saving money.

    I need to downsize a little bit to save money. Gonna go back to a basic package with SD only. Will Directv help me with this? Tried a while back and they said they couldn't take off the HD channels because I have a HD DVR and Ka Ku dish. I know I can use that equipment and get only SD...

    Tripod Mount or Pole Mount

    Pole Mount Due to hurricanes every year, I had my dish moved off the roof by Gustav and have it on a pole mount now so when the nest hurricane comes, I can take it off and bring it inside. When the storm blows through, I can put it back and watch Directv. When the power is out for weeks at a...
