    Switching from E* to D*

    Okay, I had D* about a year ago, switched to E* for $$ savings. Can I buy two HD DVR's and hook up the 2nd to an SDTV? I plan on upgrading the tv in my BR but would love to have the total home DVR with double the storage. My other option is to get an HD DVR on primary then HD Reciever on the...

    WB-68 Switch with 18" Dish Only?

    Okay, I was trying to think of a way to not have to run another cable from the dish. So I guess this isn't possible then?

    WB-68 Switch with 18" Dish Only?

    Hi, I had an HD setup with Directv and recently cancelled and moved to Dishnetwork. My In-laws have an SD-DVR (non-TIVO) and another Standard Def Reciever hooked up to an 18" single LNB dish. They only have one input from the Dish to their SD DVR, thus they only have one tuner. Is it possible...

    AT&T picks DirecTV for their DBS partner starting 2/1/2009

    I lucked out I guess. I have AT&T and already get a bundle discount on both of my bills Direct and AT&T. I got into this bundle because I am an area formerly Bellsouth which partnered with Direct.

    Signal Loss on some HD Channels

    I have the same problem with HDNET, nothing else affected. Sometimes ESPN shows up on HDNET if I leave it on long enough and the lost signal disappears. I get a bad picture (pixelated) and i can see the ESPNHD sidebar slightly.

    Why such poor guide data?

    This does show more info, but doesnt show NEW or REPEAT. I miss the "Date first aired" from E* Guide.

    DirecTV Buys ReplayTV?!?!

    Yeah I doubt the auto commercial skip would come back, however, one think I would like to see is the ability for users to share programs. You simply need a code from the other persons hardware and you send programs via internet, pretty cool. I remember when they had replaytv request software...

    DirecTV Buys ReplayTV?!?!

    Yes, I loved my replay I had years ago. Of course that was back in the day when they had automatic commercial skip, that rocked! Not sure what the software is like nowadays but a few years back it was great!

    Beta Video On Demand

    I hate to turn this into a troubleshooting forum, but I have to mention that I am in the same boat. Using At&t DSL (Bellsouth). I get the connection error messages constantly, I just say "fix later" and it resumes just fine. What port(s) does VOD service use is it 60? If so that should be...

    Beta Video On Demand

    You are very correct on speeds. I have 3.0M dsl and it takes me a few hours to download a 1 hour show. I have it connected wirelessly with a gaming adapter. I don't think theres and issue with the wireless connection because my streaming MP3's and photos work fine through media share. (I...

    Help escalating DirectTv cust service

    Does D* send any kind of post card reminder or anything? I used to be an E* sub with ESPN Gameplan and I always recieved a postcard stating it will automatically renew in the next 2 months if I don't call to cancel.

    On Demand HD?

    I've seen this question asked before and no one seems to know unless there have been some recent developments. From what I gather it coming but no knows exactly when.

    Is the OTA tuner (s) on the HR 20 powered?

    I have never heard of an amplified OTA INPUT. I have heard of amplified antennas that will amplify the signal to the receiver.

    I too switched from E* to D*. E* mailed me a check for the credit I had, so they should pro-rate your unused programming.

    Date show originally aired?

    Your right about not recording re-runs, I just dont see the text in the guide :)

    Date show originally aired?

    I also miss this. My HR20 does not say "NEW" or "REPEAT" in any of the descriptions, kind of frustrating.

    Sweet, just switched from E* on Saturday! Now I just have to get used to the HR20 but I think all the extra HD makes up for it!
