    Not to be obvious, but did you look under "Extras" in the menu? you should have "messages / active / tv apps / caller id / you tube / pandora / showroom" try rebooting and run a system test to make sure it still sees the internet

    Looking forward to this! Wish I knew which markets it is being launched in...

    it should be at the very bottom of the list on a smart search. If not press your dash button on your remote to verify an internet connection.

    the single dish is 95 + 101. For Jadeworld 119 is required so it would likely be a 2 dish install, since removal of the 95 dish is not likely.

    the HR23-700 is recoverable. I would hang on it - a recovery kit should generate once the ird is disconnected

    It should not impact you. If you suspend or or get interrupted for 30 days +, you can kiss them goodbye however. I would call in and saks specifically for the Distant Networks Services departmnent - they are trained in the legal aspects and can give you a more educated answer re: DNS than your...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_(TV_channel) It is a shame to lose such a quality channel, but I won't mind seeing an addition to social advocacy media...and I missed Farscape...

    I'd say just a glitch. I've not seen any Hr34s go DOA yet unless a significant power surge was involved. If it's in a power strip, take it out and plug it directly into the wall however.

    Searching for satellite is very seldom the fault of the ird, seldom enough that a service call is required. A lot of customers "know" what the problem is and demand that cure, when in reality it is something else.

    o.O. Yeah they will continue to work. You will lose channels. Killing the access card? I don't think so. The idea that DirecTV would expend money and man hours to get a leased box into your home just to kill your legacy receiver sounds a little extreme.

    If you tune to ch 325 and get a message that the ird needs to be replaced then there you are. Oddly I had a HNS HIRD D1 that required replacing while the Hughes GAEBO saw programming - go figure.

    just as an aside, back in the bad old days when anyone could install, I've lost count of how many systems I've seen grounded to propane tanks

    I would suggest that they are not using their resources or are misinformed. "Lying" suggests intentional misconduct on their behalf and there is no way to ascertain that. For reference, NEC (National Electric Code) REQUIRES proper grounding and if the system cannot be properly grounded the...

    Yeah, bite the bullet. You mess something up and you will wear out your welcome at your new community pretty quick. This way you get you need, you get a warranty and you don't wreck the Welcome Wagon.

    I have had a unique opportunity to interact with local service providers and have seen quite a bit. They have some leeway in how they deal with customers and frankly they have to. I have seen them refuse to service a customer, permanently. I will leave it to your imagination as to the reasons...

    I have seen the local office cancel an order that sat for too long due to multiple reschedules so that it was not sitting on their books

    when you order ppv via remote, it only goes to the unit ordered from. Any other method (online, via text, automated phone system, agent) is available to all eligible units on the account. If an on demand event is ordered via remote it will be available on the playlist until expiration.

    Knowing what type of equipment you have, including the fact that you do or don't have a SWiM, affects the troubleshooting paths taken and can impact what equipment offers are available to you in the future.
