    I am a long time customer and my latest 2 year contract is up in 2 months and did not receive new equipment last renewal. What is the latest receiver that is available? I have a 4k main tv and a hdtv with a mini genie receiver. What should I ask for and what is normal upgrade? Is there...

    New DirecTV Fall Promotions

    Would they be likely to do anything for me when my 2 yr commitment is up in august? I have had directv since 2000 but now there are some other options, like uverse that will give me a great deal to switch to them, I know that would mean no sunday ticket but it was likely to get dropped this...

    what to do with an unused receiver

    let me make sure i understand correctly, if I deactivate the sd dvr and return it to Directv, if they ask for it, and keep my hd dvr active i will not have to pay any fees or penalties for not completing my 2 yr commitment.

    what to do with an unused receiver

    I have had directv for many years and 2 years ago I got a roommate to help pay the bills. I let him use an old RCA sd box that was inactive but a couple of months later he bought a sd dvr from best buy. When he activated that receiver it restarted a 2 year commitment which will end in august...

    pc tuner cards

    It may just be wishful thinking on my part but is a tuner card for your PC an option any time soon. D* could sell the card and necessary software and you could then build your own dvr or multi-room video pc. It would likely be a niche market for tech geeks but it would seem like it would be a...

    deleting showcase programs

    On an HR20-700 that is running the national release software is there any way to delete the programs that are in the showcase folder? Most of it is Sunday ticket junk and some of it even says it is expired. There is no delete option and the red button on the remote does not do anything either.

    Worst...NFL SUNDAY...Ever (this season)?

    They do it that way so both networks get a chance to show all teams no matter what conference. Fox gets to show some AFC games and CBS gets some NFC games. I guess it makes for more even distribution of teams that draw the best non-local ratings.

    2 HD DVRs exchanging content

    Just curious but why would it require additional or a new box as the hr20 can already be networked with a pc, however limited it currently is. Maybe I am a little slow to understand but it doesn't seem like it would take much to be able to network the boxes themselves to watch content on...

    Single wire feed for HD-DVR

    Thinking about getting a 2nd hr20 but am unable to run a 2nd cable to the location that i would put it and would like to know, will this be a hardware or software upgrade? If it is a hardware upgrade will it require a new box or would you be able to add it hardware onto an existing box?

    Atlanta - HR20 direct from DTV?

    depends on how good your installer is. Got mine replaced last sat 9/9 and the guy looked at the sales order and knew to get the hr20, that they had received the first part of last week. I don't think he was officially supposed to give it to me, but he knew that it would mean another trip later...

    installation questions

    I was wondering will they be able to install and point the new dish that is required for MPEG4 local HD, without the new HR20 receiver? The best that retention could do is replace the dish on the 9th but I won't get the receiver until VE can ship them out, likely arriving around the 18th. I...

    DTV Sales REP Talks about Leasing

    even if you buy the receiver for $250, you still will pay $5 a month for DVR service so $10 *24 months = $240. Rental is a better deal to me because there is no way you are using the same equipment in 2 years that you are today.
