    Redoing Roof what to do?

    I had my roof done a couple of years ago. Each roofer I spoke to said he would remove then reinstall the dish. I would try another roofer. Btw, they can't align it back perfectly. I made the mistake of telling directv I had the roof replaced. Had I said nothing they would have realigned for...

    Getting close to baseball season

    I did this a short time ago....said 'cancel extra innings' and then a real quick transfer to a CSR. I said I'd like to get it taken off for now (you're stuck with the subscription once the season starts....everyone gets a free preview except subs :mad:). Then I got offered $10 off the $31.99 X...

    Direct DVR vs Dish

    To me that's a con because you're paying for old technology. I don't watch SD anymore unless I'm forced to....the TV2 option is coaxial SD....unless something has changed since I left Dish.

    SatelliteGuys First Look: DIRECTV Scoreguide

    First noticed this on Versus last nite watching NHL playoffs then the Fox Sports affiliate watching a Tigers game. I didn't notice any lagging but thanks for the heads up....I'll need to check.

    Are there ANY former E* users that have switched to D*?

    If you are a sports fan, then there is a clear difference between the two services and equipment should never trump programming material. Unless....that dual SD tuner means that much to you. For me, I have had two HDTVs for a few years now and hated the TV2 SD tuner when I was with Dish. Not to...

    DirecTV does not support multi room DVR functionality DISH does

    I was with Dish not too long ago and while my 622 could feed a second TV (referred in their venacular as TV2) it was SD and rather poor quality. Didn't care for it at all.

    Check your HD DVR's ToDo list--Forced Software Upgrade to 02CB & 02B0

    That's interesting because the message I got on my screen after the update mentioned that specifically. I'm not surprised I didn't notice that before but why did I get that message? :confused: Perhaps it was a reminder it was there.

    Thinking Of Switching To E*, Need Advice

    I'm just left with HBO....I think these premiums are not cost effective but if you have the money to burn..... Just one of 'em is enough to buy a Netflix subscription.

    MLB...Looking forward to it!

    Right next to the NHL Network (215)....good channel location choice. I'm a fan of both sports.

    Direct Tune Feature

    My second DVR got the update last nite. I stuck in channels that for some reason I can't remember channel numbers.....ESPNHD, CNNHD, MGM, Center Ice (beginning channel)....I'll probably add the Science and Discovery Channels. Channels I do remember that I just punch in......Fox (360...easy to...

    Direct Tune Feature

    One of my receivers has it (HR20-100) while the other hasn't gotten it yet (HR20-700). Is there a way to force the update?

    What do you do with old receivers?

    Same thing happened with me. I replaced a leased HD receiver (can't remember the model number) with their HD DVR about 15 months ago and asked for boxes three or four times to ship the HD receiver back. Never got a box and the CSRs can't explain why. Very wierd. It's sitting in a closet...I'm...

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    I just got XM installed last weekend.....an aftermarket head unit (audiovox xpress r) that connects via a hard wired FM modulator. I don't know how anyone listens to this kind of setup. The sound quality is awful....fatigues and hurts my ears with the tinny, metallic, nasty sound. XM sound...

    Offseason, but have to ask... CENTER ICE.

    Center Ice coverage last season was excellent IMO, after a slow start. About a month into the season we had the dual feeds and if an HD feed was available from FSN or other regional network, it was broadcasted on CI. Some people complained that the HNIC broadcasts were split on different...

    opinions on HR21-100

    I have both an HR20-700 and HR20-100. The only problem I have with the HR20-100 is that it seems to be built a bit more cheaply. It frequently vibrates, creating some sort of annoying rattle or hum. I fix the problem and a week later something else on it starts making noise.

    What other HD channels would you like to see?

    The channels don't matter if the program material ain't HD. We're still some time away from HD becoming mainstream and until that, just gimmie FoxNews I suppose.

    Recordings always start late

    I record Conan every nite.....the first 30 seconds tell you the guests on the show, so it is important. I've changed the start time to begin early so it's fixed but this is still stupid. Dish's 622 doesn't have this problem. I too have an atomic clock(s) so there is no doubt the receiver is...

    Switching to D. Am I making a mistake.

    OK, thanks for the update. Read the thread that describes how you force a download but didn't get around to actually doing it. And it wasn't clear to me if this would address the audio drop out problem. Anyway, will know soon enough. We really do need a live button though. I can't seem to...

    Picture seems to pixelate more on D than it did with E

    If you have an OTA antenna check some OTA programming against your problem. I recall when I moved from E* to D* several months ago, the HD image looked very slightly different than Dish. Maybe a bit 'grainier' but in a good way....in the sense that it was more detailed. In a day or two I wasn't...

    Switching to D. Am I making a mistake.

    Is there a way to force an update? I thought D* always automatically beamed to your receiver whatever the latest software happened to be. I'll check to see what I'm running.

    When I call D*, I have a favorite word that I use repeatedly....... REPRESENTATIVE! Works, too.
