    DirecTV vs Uverse

    I have both ATT Uverse and DirecTV. I use Uverse for my internet and DirecTV for viewing. For internet, Uverse is hard to beat (ok, maybe fios). But for TV it sucks. I have very few issues with rain fade on my DirecTV. It works well except in the worst of storms (located in TX so we get a lot...

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    Well, I learned what not to do. I decided to try a restart with the 0-2-4-6-8 trick to reload the software. It rolled me back to 0x57b. Now the crappy black at the bottom of the screen during pause or skip is back. Guess I have to wait not for directv to send me the updated software again.....

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    When I go to Menu - Extras, all I see are 7 icons: Messages, Active, Game Lounge, TV Apps, Music&Photos, Caller ID and ShowRoom. There is nothing on the screen referencing Pandora or any code?? By the way, I did try multiple reboots but that did not help.

    HR24 with 0x59e But No Pandora

    I have had the new HD GUI for a while now. I just got the latest software 0x59e on my HR24 about a week ago. My wife was the first to turn it on after receiving the update and a message came up mentioning Pandora and the Power Saving feature. She is not sure exactly what it said. Now, a week...

    Another E* Customer considering the swith to D*

    I do plan to cancel the free HBO/Cinemax before 3 months is up as I never watch these anyway. As I read the bill, it should then remain at $61. I do not see the $9.96 credit in my bill anywhere. The credits I am getting now (disregarding the free HBO) are .. $10 for HD Access (I am assuming I...

    Another E* Customer considering the swith to D*

    I just switched form E* to D* last week. I have 3 HD TVs and only had one HD receiver with E*. No really good discounts to upgrade so I made the switch. Here are the details: * I went with the Choice Xtra as it was similar to what I had with Dish except I no longer get the encor channels...

    HR24 vs. VIP722

    So from a "non dvr" receiver, it seems clear that you could pause a recorded show, but what about a live show. By this I mean, can I pause a live show on a non-dvr receiver? I am considering a switch to Directv and this solution really works good for me, assuming the pause function is availabe...

    DIRECTV Premieres 'Pirate Radio' More Than A Month Before DVD Release

    If they charge as much for PPV as Dishnetwork, they should show it at the same time it is in the theaters.

    Disappointed with HD-DVR

    Glad I read this. Was about ready to switch to DirecTV and buy an HD PVR. I have a Dish 7200, but now have an HD tv and need to upgrade. Everything I read is about how good the TIVO DVRs are, but this is the first post I have seen where features ( or lack there of) are talked about. Some of...
