  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I just received the email as well. Free NFLST Max. Nice bonus! Thanks DIRECTV.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have another $100 that says the OP now has a commitment. The Philippines agents will say whatever you want to hear. Then they enter you into a 24 month commitment after you hang up. They are liars. I am fighting a similar battle now.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It shows on my bill when my commitment ends.
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I know how to do it for the RC6X series. But I want to manually enter a TV code into the RC72 remote. Going through remote setup, I don't see that option. How do I enter the TV code manually? Thanks
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I prefer the old days. Better in my opinion. I got involved with satellite television in the early 2000's. The attention to detail in the video is what made me reflect.
  6. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I am pretty sure the ethernet connection nag is stored on an Eprom. Once connected, the coding overlords will not let you live without it. Nagging, nagging, nagging.
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    This is how DIRECTV used to be run. Great training and attention to detail and customer service. You may not have been out of high school when this video was made but it shows the culture at DIRECTV when they cared. I realize in the TLDR days of the new generation you will watch it for about 3...
  8. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    And thank you Matt9876 I have been following this thread since you started it in 2008.
  9. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Thanks harsh. That is what I was wondering. I am pretty good at aiming, but 99 was so sensitive, it would change when tightening azimuth/elevation nuts even slightly. I have asked my wife not to bump the dish. :D
  10. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hmmm, I thought I did pretty well. I was bragging.:D RF shadowed corner? That is Greek to me. Believe me I tried every position both with a tripod and on that wall. It looks like Swiss Cheese from all the holes I drilled.:) Those numbers work for me. 99 is very hard to get on the angles I...
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I did not bend my dish...heh heh...but this is what I managed to get with the small dish. The approved dish was too big to get close enough to the lanai rail/screen. The lanai upright is in the way also, as well as the overhang next door. I realize 99 is weak, but we had a major rain storm here...
  12. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Ok, thanks harsh. Too bad DIRECTV does not allow clearing NVRAM. I will live with it. My wife keeps trying to rewind programs that show that arrow in the guide and the message on the bottom of the screen when you switch to the channel.
  13. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Hmmm. I have another identical unit never connected and it does not nag. Or show rewinding available for almost all shows in the guide. It must be in an eprom or memory somewhere. With Dish you can erase NVRAM to return the receiver to factory settings. I was hoping DIRECTV allowed that as well.
  14. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Both ways? You mean I have to do a full reset and lose the recordings?
  15. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    It was connected by the previous owner (yes, its an owned receiver). It keeps nagging to reconnect and offers to rewind programs. I do not want to reconnect it. I was thinking about a full reset, but I will lose my recordings. Is there a way?
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Update: In Feb. got $40 off for 12 months. Called again citing income loss due to covid and got another $30 off for 12 months. So $70 off per month. Already shows online on my account. Not bad. Premier package.
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    Will a Dish 500 with a DP Plus twin work for 61.5 and 72.7? What is on 77 anyway? Locals? Sorry for the hijack. Trying to get familiar with Dish again.
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    I called today. They will let me reactivate my 722, 612 and 211k. No deals though. That's fine with me. I don't do contracts.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I used to sub to Dish back in 2015. Just bought a place in Bradenton and I don't have line of sight for DIRECTV, so I am thinking of switching back. I still have my old Dish 1000 (the really old one with a DPP Twin and DP single) for 110, 119 and 129. And I still have my 722 and 211k. Will...
