Hello all
First post here, just a quick question
I had a Directv Tivo go out on me last week, they sent me a new DVR but when I called they also told me I was eligible for a HD Receiver upgrade
So they scheduled me for install a new dish , and new receiver
apparently the old HD receiver wont handle all the new HD channels?
My question is this, I was told I can keep my old HD receiver, so IF that receiver is turned off, can I still use it to receive the OTA HD channels I get now? or does it need to be subbed for it to work
I dont carry the any HD programming from Directv, just watch the football games on Sunday in HD via OTA network channels
While I'm here might as well ask, my package is a "grandfathered" in
package think its Total Choice w/No locals
so now IF I were to pay the 10$ for HD access would my package change or would it be a new package/price
Sorry about all the questions, its just I'm an older guy and dont understand all the new technologies, and I spoke to 3 different dtv cust service reps
I got 3 different answers and all said the other was wrong, not even sure why they want to upgrade my receiver like I said I do NOT sub to HD content, and probably wont
Thanks everyone
