  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Definitely would require truck roll as I don't have SWM right now. Thanks for the responses. I'm still not sure I want to take the plunge. I need to ponder it further. I have one HR22-700 right now (along with two HR20s, an R22 operating in HD and an HR23). Not sure if I want to take a...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    A question from someone who hasn't been around for a while, so pardon me if this sounds like a stupid question... For a while, if you requested an HD DVR, you may have gotten an HR20, 21, 22, 24 - they could never guarantee which model you would get (having added three at various times after...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I bundled my DirecTV with CL when I added their DSL service. I got only a $5.00 a month discount on my DirecTV bill for bundling, and for me it wasn't worth it versus having the bills separate and being able to deal with each company separately. Personal preference. My biggest annoyance with...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Looks like 103. I checked the channels involved and it looks like as far as tonight I only have a worry about Covert Affairs recording, and I can pick that up later. Here's a page that lists which channels on which slots...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I ran into that, too. Had to call in and the automated system said something like "So, you'd like to add the HD Extra Pack for $4.99 a month?". I opted out to a CSR and they added it for free. And they were clear that at the end of the three months it would automatically start charging me for...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I am wondering if anyone has had any success in disabling the My CenturyLink app on an HR2x DVR? I have had several frustratingly non-productive conversations with both CenturyLink and DirecTV trying to diable this asinine 'feature'. I MUCH prefer DirecTV's caller ID and call history...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    For the number of shows during which I fall asleep before the getting to the end, I wouldn't want to use this feature. I'd miss out on too much TV!
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That was the question I had as well. I've got three HR20's, an HR22, and an HR21 just died and I received an HR23 to replace that (hooking that one up tonight). Does this mean I may be able to upgrade my HR20's to HR24s? Given the fact in the past they cannot guarantee on a 'dead receiver...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That's a reasonable option, but I think your account balance needs to be fully paid before they'll do that?

    I believe the C is that it comes with cords (as opposed to a replacement which wouldn't necessarily need to have cords shipped) and the R is for refurb. Welcome back!!!
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When you made the payment that DirecTV seems to be missing, did you get an e-mail confirmation with a confirmation number on it? If so, I would get both confirmation numbers together and give them another call.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    In addition, if you decidde to switch to a second HD DVR later, the 24-month clock would start over again when the new unit is activated. So if three months down the road you added/swapped an HD DVR, you would be under a programming commitment for 24 months from that time, not your initial...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My notice is at home, and I am at work, but if I'm not mistaken the next line stated something indicating that you would be subject to the terms of cancellation and directed you to that section. In other words, they've got that ground covered and no, you can't cancel free under the new terms...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    No guarantee what model they would send as a replacement. If you start talking Whole Home DVR, then you can expect some more expense beyond just the $19.95 shipping (though I haven't been through that myself, so I couldn't speak to how much).
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I know you've already gotten some discounts from DirecTV, but I wanted to point this out for future reference or for anyone else using this thread for research - In my area, you can also expect to pay at least around $10 a month or more for "Franchise Fees" and the like that are not charged on...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    TBlazer07, It's been a while since I returned my receiver, but I think I recall that the same tracking number used for the USPS is the one that showed the FedEx info, too. I also tried the one number for the USPS and the other for FedEx and finally figured out to use the same tracking number...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I thought I'd read reports that if you sign up for the plan, have a free service call, then cancel right away that you may wind up on the hook for the service call (or maybe parts, etc.) and not just a $10 early cancellation. If someone has more solid information on that, maybe they could post...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That shouldn't be an option, seeing as how he just left a month ago.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think, bottom line, the answer to your question is no, DirecTV will not pay the early termination fee owing to a switch from another provider.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Blanked on the date in the heading - this happened to me about the same time of day on Sunday. Didn't experience it on the 10th.
