  1. Cable TV Discussion
    I did the same in Feb. We suspended directv and test drove X1 for about 2 months. It was a little buggy and hard to understand at first but they have come a long way over the last several months to make it decent. Hey you got to admit that voice controled remote is pretty cool.... We then...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well the wife and son decided to get me a nice 60" tv for fathers day so i figured it was only fitting to watch football on it. Only problem is i cant get any good games on Comcast. So i decided to sign up again with the bare minimum package just for the purpose of Sunday Ticket. few questions...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So about 3 weeks ago or so i finally worked up the courage to cut the cord on pay tv. The main reason for having Directv where so my disabled mother-in-law would have something to keep her busy (basically to her TV was all she had left) and for my son to have Disney jr and all the other...

  5. DIRECTV General Discussion

    The dish heaters turn them self "on" or "off" as needed. I usually plug mine in around now and leave it in till April.
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    You could buy your own dish, map out a good spot on the dish aiming website and install your own cabling. This way all the installer would have to do is point the dish, hook up the boxes and activate them.. Just an idea, that's what we did at my brothers house.

    I had a similar issue with the wifes recording of "Heartland" on channel 338 UPTV. They would be advertising all day long "brand new episode Wed @ 9" and we miss the recording. Come to find when id go to that slot on the guide it would show a first air date of 2013. I ended up seting up the...

    When we moved to our current place we had an HR24 and a H25 installed on SD TV's and did not get charged the HD fee for 2.5 years, Even after i upgraded to HDTV's we still where not charged the HD fee.. After we upgraded to the HR44 then we started getting charged for HD.

    They took my 3 CRT TV's that i finally got around to get there about a month ago. There is a limit of 3 per day and they must be less then 32" tho.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Verizon only offers Landline service to my area. I tried getting DSL service awhile back and was told by the verizon tech that the lines (dateing back to when GTE first installed them) could not handle it and they could not offer it. He said my only hope for any Verizon services would be when...
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    When we had our HR24 and H25 both would ask what DVR to record to. to the OP: I would consider keeping the last H25 and not replacing it with the C41 client. The clients work off a tuner from the Genie while the H25 uses it own tuner. Doing this would not only save that tuner to record...

    Like our local ABC station that chose to air Ravens pre-season football over the bristol race.

    Why not sign up for something like the cheap family package (still have it just don't advertise it) and add the additional programing in the months that you need it?
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't think you have much to worry about as far as the AT&T thing goes. If anything does happen i don't think it will be within your 2 year commitment as they have to wait for FCC approval and whatever other steps need to be taken. Also, i highly dought the Directv format would change (atleast...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes it will..
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    adding the required whole home DVR should allow you to access whatever is on the genie on the other boxes and vise versa, Also, if you can mange to get a HR44 genie then you can connect the system to the internet wirelessly without adding any extra equipment.
  18. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So why can't the OP have a dish installed at the second house and then take the equpiment from the first house to the 2nd. Then call directv and say they moved to the second place. Then, do it again when they move back? as long as nobody is wacthing TV at the another place and they told directv...

    I have a family member that has his account limited to a H25 and the $30 Family package. Then when there sporting season starts they add as needed (think they onlyu use it for NFL).. I personally supend my account sometime in May and pick it back up sometime before the NFL season starts. Usually...
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    This just made me relize that i have not been seeing the "sunday ticket $0.00" line on my bill so i called to see if and when i would be billed for auto renewal. Turns out somehow it got removed from last season so the CSR added ST Max with a offer of $40 for 4 months. and gave me $10 a month...
