Want to leave Dish, need help...

[mattzane227]

It's almost time for me to re-up on NBA League Pass and Dish is having issues with Fox plus Dish doesn't show as many HD games as Directv. I was wanting to switch but I was wanting to keep the bill about the same as I'm paying with Dish which is around $60.

America's Top 200 $54.99
DVR Service $6.00
HD 200 Free $0.00

Total
$60.99 (excludes taxes / credits)

I have a 722 right now downstairs w/ the big screen for HD and then I have coax with a splitter going to 2 bedroom TV's.

Can you get an RF remote for Directv DVR's that goes through walls like Dish 722's have? I don't really care if there is no "dual mode" and they all have to watch the same thing as long as I can still control the DVR from different rooms like w/ the 722.

Thanks

Yes, I use a RF remote to control a receiver in my basement from my 2nd floor bedroom, will go through walls, floors, etc.

The DVRs come with RF remotes. As far as pricing goes, you should be able to compare the prices on their website. The website will show you the pricing with the discounts and after the discounts.

Matt: Directv DVR works a little different than your 722. I would suggest you get one DVR and a free HD receiver for a bedroom TV. Then select Whole Home Viewing. If you upgrade to a second HDTV, you will be ready to go.

Good luck with whatever you choose. I do suggest looking at the channel lists to ensure that you are happy with your service.

Did you have to re up a 2 yr. contract for HD free?

You do realize D* HD DVRs don't have a RF output (no ch 3/4 output to send signals to another room)

Nope I talked to Dish to make sure and they said I was not currently under contract.

Sooo no RF output means you can't run coax off the DVR to another room?

Thanks for the help everybody.

You can you just need a cheap $20 or so box from Walmart to do it.
