  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    What if it is less expensive? I guess it depends by how much. Talk is It will be 15/month, and that is about 3 dollars cheaper than what DTV charges if HBO is the only premium service you have
  2. Sirius XM General Discussion
    I didn't need O&A to cancel my subscription 5 years ago.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    A little over two months ago I went to Comcast because of a "great deal". I should have never left DTV. A week ago DTV made an offer for me to come back. I jumped at it. The offer was free installation, and HR-44 receiver with three mini-genies, a good discount for one year, plus they will...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When I first got DirectTV, one receiver was included, then it was 200 dollars up front for one HD DVR receiver, and 100 dollars for a non DVR HD receiver When I wanted to upgrade to the latest CE receiver, it was 300 dollars, and a two year contract.
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Of course not. Then again, why do I need to pay an extra fee for HD. How long as HD been around? Is that really new technology? They also charge for advanced receiver fees and whole home DVR, so your supposition that the 13 dollar rental fee from a cable provider might end up being pretty...
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't think it is a good deal at all. As others have said the equipment doesn't break down that frequently. Perhaps policies have changed, but when I wanted a CE receiver before my contract was up they wanted me to pay 300 dollars for it. Why would I pay 300 dollars for something I do NOT...
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    and for that reason, I want Dish to be around and viable If Fox is increasing their fees by 50%, that is outrageous, and if that is so, a lot of it has to do with the mass media-merges, which is NOT good for consumers The Comcast/NBC deal will make that quite evident...
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am going the opposite way, from UVERSE to DIRECT Uverse is just OK. Their receivers are only fair in my view. The biggest factor for uverse is how far you are from the AT&T box. SD quality on uverse very good, HD ok, but the HD is definitely not as good as Dish. I cannot compare it to...
  9. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    That chart is outdated for UVerse. The current HD for UVerse is the following: 5StarMax A&E ABC Family Channel ATMax ActionMAX West ActionMAX Animal Planet Big Ten Network Bravo CNBC CNN Cinemax Cinemax West Comcast SportsNet Comcast SportsNet Alternate Discovery Channel Disney Channel Disney...
  10. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    and not only Direct, but Uverse and FIOS The question to ask is Dish losing customers more because of the economic situation, or because of the methods that Dish uses to negotiate prices, is BS. The most exciting thing with Dish is you never know if the channel you were watching yesterday will...
  11. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Though Voom had a lot of repeat content, the cnn, cnbc, and other hd duplications definitely are not worth the 20 bucks a month more to me. I have the everything package, so I still get the premiums in HD, but until they get some unique HD content, they can keep what they have. Voom, for...

    347 fixed an issue where the HDMI signal would be lost unless I reset the VIP211, so I am happy about that
  13. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I will second that. Mine does NOT work either
  14. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    just received this from dish technical support: " Thank you for your e-mail. I apologize that it took so long to respond. We’ve received an unexpected amount of e-mails this month. Our normal response time is 24-48 hours. The receiver automatically goes into standby mode after 3-4 hours...
  15. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    there is a difference between input verses output, I should have read more carefully I thought the 811 only had satellite and tv coax in also. Does it also have other A/V inputs?
  16. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    What I did was start recording a show in the afternoon, went out for the day, came back, and half the recording was the screen saver Thanks for the suggestion
  17. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    You should be able to pick one up on Ebay for 100 dollars or less
  18. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    There is only 1 RCA video input on the 211 as opposed to 2 on the 811 There is also 1 component, and 1 HDMI interface If you need the extra A/V output, a Y cable should do the trick In addition, the new HD channels that have come on line are only in MPEG4, and can only been seen on the NEW...
  19. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    The recording was started in the afternoon, and the scheduled update is set to 3am
  20. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I will need to try it again
