  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My two year price guarantee expired in September, and DTV wouldn't match the price. So I dropped and went full streaming. ATT Uverse increased in price as there wasn't a bundle, so just yesterday, moved to Cox Cable internet, with a great 2-year promotion (150M speed for $50/month). I know...
  2. Cable TV Discussion
    New to Cox (and cable for that matter), and getting an install on Monday. How is their Panoramic Internet box, and is there specific equipment or set-up I should be asking for? I currently use Google Mesh, so how does this compare to the panoramic box with or without the pods? With the...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well - last post here: 2-year $40/month DTV promo was running out, so I called to try to keep the price low. They said NO, so I asked to speak to retention, and they said NO. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and they said NO. So I cancelled. FYI, this is after 2 years with DTV and Uverse...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So my 2-year ATT/DirecTV contract ended in November, and my bill was raised by $5/month. Then DirecTV announced that they're increasing rates, and as of early February, my bill was raised by $3/month. It doesn't sound like a lot on a monthly basis, but that comes out to $96/year. I have to...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Great advice - I chatted with AT&T this morning, and they gave me HBO for 12 months for $9.99 a month.
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    With Westworld now on HBO (and the first episode was on the free HBO trial last week), I'm now looking at pricing for HBO, and wanted to get opinions on the best way to go: HBO through DirecTV - $18/month; HBO through Amazon Prime - $15/month (I already have Amazon Prime); HBO Now - $15/month...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Coming up on my first month with DTV - when I'll have to decide if I want to cancel the protection plan. On the plus side, the protection plan provides new equipment every two years. On the other hand, it looks like the HR44 and C61 receivers are extremely reliable. Do you recommend or not...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just got DTV last week - connected my Vizio P602ui-B3 to an HR54 receiver via HDMI port 5 - works perfectly.
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    Only Cox, and they must be avoided like the plague. Not to mention that their pricing is 3x higher than everyone else put together.
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    Well, after more than 12 years with Dish, I am being forced to leave. DSL through ATT is going from $20/month up to $40/month; so to keep the cost of TV & Internet below $100, it looks like I will be forced to get U-Verse. Kind of messed-up: ATT is raising their prices for DSL, so I get to...
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    Duplexers? So I have the two coax's from the satellite dpp+ merged together on a splitter (2in, 1 out) that runs to the receiver. Are you saying that I can put another splitter on the single coax; and the receiver will send the TV out signal to my second television? In essence, I'll have three...
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    Can I put my Dish Network receiver in the attic? It makes things much easier to wire to two rooms if I can put this in the attic, as I wouldn't have to run multiple wires back and forth. But it gets very hot in the attic, and its quite dusty, as its an unfinished attic. Has anyone done this...
  13. Standard Definition Receiver Support Forum
    I figured this was one of the quirks of my 508 - it also deletes a bunch of recorded programs a couple of times a year. At night there will be 10 recorded programs, the next morning there will be 2 or 3. The 522 is much more stable, and I've never had this problem. And no, there is no one else...
  14. General Satellite Discussion
    So I am trying to lessen my monthly expenditures. I recently got rid of my home phone service, using dsl only, saving about $40 a month using skype and google voice. Now its time to start looking at how to get rid of the monthly TV charge, and was wondering how other people are doing this (if...
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Does DishNetwork still require receivers to be connected to a phone line? I am getting rid of my home phone service, and my receivers (522 & 508) don't take internet connections.
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    Cinemax for a penny just dropped from my service. The Cinemax channels turned green, and it is no longer mentioned on my bill. I didn't have to do anything for it to be cancelled. Oh, and by the way, they also stopped autopay - it reverted back to statements by standard mail.
  17. Sirius XM General Discussion
    So I tried cancelling my XM service yet again, and for the second time they gave me 3 months of free service. I had to talk to about 3 levels of customer service, and was really prepared to cancel, but its hard to turn down 3 more months for free (this is the second time I have gotten the 3...
  18. Sirius XM General Discussion
    Just called to threaten canceling (again) - I got a single $20 payment for five months - comes out to $4/month. Only problem - I'll have to call again in 5 months, and threaten canceling yet again.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I had the same problem when I changed out my surge suppressor - the power going through the surge suppressor was reduced just a bit (I guess), which was enough that no picture would show. Try removing the surge suppressor (if you're using one).
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    Just curious - I received the letter from Dish that my 721 will no longer work, and as a result, replaced it with the 522. They told me of the offer that if I send the 721 back in (which I own), they'll credit my account for a whopping $10. On the other hand, these receivers are still going...
