    We are considering downgrading to the Family Package at $29.99 a month to save on costs. We would like to keep Disney Junior which it seems should be in this package with the other preschool options. However, it's not listed in DirecTV's pdf. I was just trying to get confirmation if it's there...

    Can anyone confirm whether or not Disney Junior is in DirecTV's Family Package? I've heard that this channel is included, but DirecTV's site doesn't have it listed in their pdf. Other preschool channels like Sprout, Disney Channel and Disney XD are included so it seems like Disney Junior should...

    Will the Family package remain at $29.99 after the new price increases? It seems that it hasn't been mentioned in this thread or on DirecTV's new price breakdown. Typically, we'll drop down to the Family package for a few months in the summer when most programming is in re-runs, then re-up in...

    We've been watching DirecTV's new customer offers the past several months and it seems they are not as good as in year's past. Particularly it seems you only get a discount for months 1-12 and not months 13-24 as well (outside of the $10 HD savings with autobill pay). I'm curious to hear from...

    I have a new DirecTV install question. We're considering getting two DVR's and a regular client receiver. It's possible that we may only use the receiver for a month or so. Is it possible we can drop the receiver client a short time after the install without penalty financial or otherwise to...

    I'd be interested in hearing from those in the Dallas area. Do you think a high-quality in-door antenna will work well in Roanoke? If so, what models do you suggest?
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The install will be in 76262 in Roanoke, Texas a suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth.

    We're helping a family member get set up with DirecTV. They're probably getting a Genie, HR24 DVR (hopefully) and a Genie client. They would also like an AM21 OTA to go with either the Genie or the HR24 DVR. I'm not real familiar with the AM21 antenna and need some advice... (1) Can this be...

    What equipment do they want you to return? Obviously the receiver and/or DVD's and their remotes. But what about deca and/or cinema connection kits? Or should these just be left in the home. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Go figure, I switched the HDMI cable and the issue resolved itself. So if I upgrade to an HR44 with a Genie client will HDCP be enabled on everything for just the client or will HDCP be applied to everything on the HR44 as well?

    I've been using a Hauppauge Colossus internal card to record non-premium content since 2012. However, for the past several months it's been nearly impossible to record an HDMI signal. Has DirecTV made a software change to prevent this or is there a workaround? When I try to record a program I'm...

    Can anyone confirm that the week long preview of HBO/Cinemax/Starz/Encore from Monday November 25-Sunday December 1 is indeed unerway?
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I also have the Hauppauge Colossus and record HDMI input which is virtually identical to the original source. I also edit out commercials and can burn to Blu-ray, AVCHD compatible DVD's (lossless) or regular DVD discs. Works great.

    Thanks for the post. I will try that. The sound is very loud though, it's like a plane is taking off. Was your HR24 like that?
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    In February we signed up as a new customer and received an HR34 and an HR24. Both appeared new in the box and have been working fine. Last Thursday our HR24 started making a loud reverberating humming noise (it doesn't seem to be the loud "click click click" sound of a failing hard drive...

    It looks like the grandfathered plans have Disney Junior as well so that's good. We're on Choice Xtra Classic. The channel listings on-line haven't been updated yet to reflect the new channel yet though.

    Here's some good news for some in the midst of the Viacom dispute. Disney Junior is coming to DirecTV. Hopefully Disney Junior will add more classic Playhouse Disney shows like Bear in the Big Blue House in the near future. It will be interesting to see what DirecTV packages get Disney Junior...

    You can change again in 30 days. Keep in mind if you have a grandfathered package like Choice Xtra Classic that you'll loose it once you switch packages.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    Yes, the channels can stay gone for all we care.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just wanted to confirm that we received the $150 Best Buy gift card and other discounts without any problems.
