I too was a 7 year customer and CS with AT&T caused me to leave. We tried their wireless service and it was just too spotty at our house. We ended up returning to Verizon and then our nightmare started with their billing departments. We ended up losing a lot of money on phones. I decided if...

They will only give you the one free Genie, but I'm sure if you wanted to "buy" one from a seller that you could. I wouldn't think there is a reason that they wouldn't activate it on your account unless there is some technical issues that would prevent it.

I now have the same setup as Blackoz. Called Directv last Tuesday and asked when my 2 year commitment was over. The lady said you're currently out of contract. Of course she asked why I wanted to know and I told her I was weighing my options going forward. She ended up giving me $15 off per...

My install is scheduled for today and I hope all goes well. I haven't had a box since the HR 20 so I'm hoping the newer ones are a little better. My HR 20 was decent so I didn't have a lot of the issues others had. I would've installed Dish at my new house if they would've let me. I guess...

Hey all, I'm currently a Dish sub with 2 722s and I'm leaving that setup for my mom to use and in my new house I'm going with Directv. I signed up today for the whole home DVR with a DVR in the living room and an HD receiver for the bedroom. It's been about 2 years since I had Directv so I'm...

The funny thing is that I switched from Dish to Directv in September 05 because of all the problems I had with their DVRs. I was tired of missing timers, lost recordings, and other issues. I switched because Directv had Tivos and they worked great for about 2 years. Then the more software...

Has anyone gotten the new mailer from D* about the Sunday Ticket? I just got it today and it says to mail in the card enclosed for 40 issues of Sports Illustrated free and choose between an interactive receiver, HD receiver, HD-DVR, or 24 PPV movies free. And save $40 off the price of ST. I...

Wow 12 tivos. I got 4 and could push it and have maybe 6 but I output to a couple of rarely used TVs from one of the tivos. One can never have too many tivos though. :)

I know I'd been thinking of cutting my programming package lately and after reading this thread I actually looked through the channel list and I didn't watch a single channel in the TC plus. So I logged in today and dropped to TC and HBO. Cut Starz while I was at it. Got my total down to bout...

Yeah it's the Wega flat tube CRT. Not sure of the model number but it was $850 just a few years ago which would get you a low end projection HDTV today. The picture quality and color is still great. It has the best SD pic quality that I have seen anywhere. If only it didn't weigh half a ton. :)

I have a 32" Sony with component that isn't progressive. The pic quality is still very good thru the component watching DVDs. It basically allows me to free up the 2 sets of composite/svideo inputs for the DTivo and Xbox which is worth it. I also have a cheap Magnavox DVD player at work that...

Mike_H, I made the switch from E* to D* just last September and so far so good. The Tivo based DVRs I have from D* are far superior to the E* offerings I used to have. As for cost you should be able to get 1 free DVR from D* and you can pick up the other 3 you need at Valueelectronics.com or...

I had a problem with my DVR80 tonight and wondered if it had happened to anyone else. I came home from work and got ready to sit down and watch Scifi friday about 10 minutes before the end of SG1. I turned on my tv and there was nothing showing on the screen. The record light was on, but...

I had the same issue when switching from E* to D* in September. My mom was used to 7.5 years of E* channel lineup and receivers. She still complains about not being able to find the channels she wants. I still remember the channel numbers for E* and now know the ones for D* so it's no big...

Thanks for the info.

Robert, Are the rebates gone for any purchases of the HD Tivo? I got 4 SD Tivos from you in September, but I'm considering taking the HD plunge and my locals won't be MPEG 4 until probably late 2007. Thanks.

I would think it makes the most sense to have a hardwired centrally located receiver. I'm assuming this is like the home media center deal I've read a little about on this forum. The one or two (or more) coax cables pulled from the dish/multiswitch to the central box location and wireless from...

Yeah line of sight isn't an issue. I have a clear view of the sky with no trees for several miles in that direction. The multiswitch is mounted in a dry area and yesterday is the first rain we've had in several weeks. I noticed the signal drop last week before any rain. About the only place...

Is anyone having signal strength issues with the 72.5 sat? When I installed my 2 dishes about a month ago I got 93-94 consistently on my 72.5 sat and 95 on my 101 sat. I checked my sat signal on 72.5 a week ago and again yesterday and noticed it was in the 83-84 range. Same on all 4 receivers...

Is everyone out there getting 6.2 on the R10? I'm still showing 6.1..... after a phone connection. D* website says 6.2 won't be released for the R10.

I had this same question when I signed up 2 weeks ago. The CSR said when my 4 months are up with NFLST, Premier then I will be billed the regular rate of $93.99 for the TC Premier. I have the option of choosing any other TC package after that 4 month period and this honors my agreement to...

The coax connection isn't bad at all depending on use. I try to use S-video on my TVs and they look good, but there are cases where PQ isn't really any worse with coax. For example I have an old 46" projection TV. I mean quite old. It has never been used much, but I have it hooked up with...

I too just made the move from E* to D*. I emailed Robert back and forth about 7 or 8 times and he answered my questions quickly. I was making sure I had my ducks in a row before making the switch. I ended up ordering over the phone from Graham and he was very friendly and made the order...

You should be getting the switch. I just got my system from VE Friday and everything needed was included. I did think to ask specifically about the switch I needed and it was included at no cost.
