    Does Directv use splitters?

    Does Directv use separators? I really don't have any knowledge of installation so I have a question...DVR's require two satellite inputs to function (tuners 1 and 2) with Directv the installer would always run two seperate cables from the switch to the DVR, but with Dish they run only one and...

    Question about the new (DIRECTV) receivers

    When the D10's first came out they each had a different interface, then when Directv sent out the "Active" software all of the interfaces changed from what they were to the D10-100 interface (you know the blue one with the Directv logo in the top left) making them all look the same. To answer...

    Question about the new (DIRECTV) receivers

    Yes they do in fact all of D*'s new receivers have the same interface on them now, the only difference is that their DVR has recording features and the HD receiver can receive HD they did this so that it would be easier for customers to understand and also when troubleshooting a receiver the...

    New TV sucks or TNT-HD that bad?

    Question about the new (DIRECTV) receivers

    When the D10 line was originally released they each had a different interface, hence the separate manuals, it wasn't until D* added the Directv Active upgrade that they all began to look the same (like a watered down version of the original D10-100) So really if you needed a manual for the...

    R15 30 Second Skip

    If your R15 has already gotten the update from Directv then just press the button above the fast forward button (see picture)...if it has not gotten the update then the 30 slip will not work yet, you can wait a few weeks to get the new update or you can force it by using the 02468 method (if you...

    R15 30 Second Skip

    Originally no, however Directv recently sent out an update to the R15 that enabled a 30 second slip, I am not sure if this update has reached all receivers yet. In a nutshell the answer is yes, very soon all R15's will have the 30 second slip. Here is a post that explains it better...

    Directv wants me to suspend account

    I do not have a contract with Dish, but the HD looks awesome compared to Directv HD anyways I just thought it would be a good idea since it is free and maybe if Directv got some good channels I would think of going back. Perhaps I will just cancel all together but it is hard to tell someone...

    Directv wants me to suspend account

    I just called Directv to cancell my account because I switched to Dish and the CSR insisted that I put my account into suspend mode just in case I decide to switch back in a few months when Directv gets more HD channels, she said it doesn't cost anything to suspend the account and I can do it...

    Paxson Gets Another Week.

    I agree, unless I intend on watching paid programming all day I have no use for ITV, I hope they remove it soon it will be just one less channel to skip over when channel surfing.

    New R15-500 Software Version (10B8)

    I wonder if they are ever going to tweak the interface again, like they did with the first update to the H20...I think the way it is right now is bad but not as bad as the standard D10's, anyone have any info

    Experts at talking with DirecTV: HD Tivo Refurb fun. Read inside

    In my experiences with Directv they are always interested in keeping a valued customer, most of the time just hanging up and calling back does the trick, as long as you are not rude to the reps (as hard as it may be) you have a good chance of being treat well. The HD Tivos are expensive and D*...
