Hi all,
My R10 Tivo DVR is dead. It completely stopped working, is stuck on the power up screen. I had customer service on the phone for 1 hour trying to fix it. We tried every reset, complete erase, everything, nothing helps. It just keeps cycling to the power up screen. It is my feeling that the hard drive is gone. The CSR wanted to schedule a home visit to dx the problem ($70), she said she had no way of telling if it was the equipment or the wiring or the dish, etc, etc. I'm fairly certain given the way its acting, its the equipment. After a long wait, she was going to transfer me to tech support, but cut me off in the process. Now I admit I was alittle testy by this point, so I didn't call back. I came to this website, where I"ve gotten good advice in the past, for help. Now I don't really keep abreast of all the D* changes and see that quite a bit has happened since my last visits in March of 2005!!!!! This is what I would like to request from D*, do you think I'm asking for too much or should I be able to get this deal. We have been loyal D* customers for over 12 years. We have had our current equipment since February of 2005. I would like D* to replace the R10 Tivo DVR for free and then I would like our present HD receiver upgraded to the HR20 and our present dish replaced with the 5 LNB. We purchase HD programming and want to be ready when the new channels come on line. What is everyone's advice..........you haven't lead me astray yet. When I negoiated our last deal with D*(February, 2005) you all gave me hints on what to say and how to ask for the deal and I got a GREAT deal then......lots of free equipment and programming. Thanks in advance for any help you might give me!!!
