  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    i also confirmed with her that there are 2 lines in a trench from the dish to the house so would hooking this up even be possible with just the 2 lines? i have no clue how much distants cost so maybe the 20 HD fee isnt so bad lol how much are people getting charged for the upgrades? they used...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    i'm researching for a friend who just has 1 SD receiver and 1 SD dvr from my searching here i gather the machine can be gotten for 99 bucks or less for long term customers (she's primestar so i assume thats pretty long) but there appears to be a 20 dollar other fee of some sort? is that in...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    opened up todays offer..4 receivers...30 bucks for entertainment package..3 mos premiums..free sunday ticket
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    i suspended then a few months later called to cancel..she first offered 20 off /mo for a year..then offered lower priced packages..and even some other kind of deal. i forget now told her i cant spend a dime, sorry.. now i get mailings very very frequently. so if anyone is worried about not...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    no HD in the house..just wanted to make sure the 20 was legit..dtv is known to make errors her magic card still works thankfully
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    a friend has a bad DVR..stuttering etc.. the CSR apparently was mute..literally woudl say nothing...even though my friend walked thru all the issues..still..crickets...anyway..she asked for a replacement DVR and the girl said sure. would be 20 bucks shipping about 2 years ago my friend got all...
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    does a totally dead machine usually mean it's the power supply? i know there were replacements for my old HR10 250 machine so you could buy it and keep it running. and i know she cant fix her own dish receiver, was just curious. i know even when i had a bad drive on the DTV receiver, you would...
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    interesting...and how long does it take to move a 1 hour HD program from internal to external? i assume it's the same speed going back to internal?
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    how would the dvr take the external drive with it?
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    i understand it all but this 'second set' comment. so if i copied external A to external B then external drive A crashes, can i just plug in external B and all the shows are there to be watched? (thus making the backup plan a success) also is there any kind of delay while watching a program...
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    well the 722 receiver was totally dead so she was out of luck ...but i still have a few questions 1 when you manually move stuff from dish to the external, do the shows from the external appear on your list of shows you are able to watch? (ie integrated/transparent with the internal drive list)...
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    well i didnt wanna assume it was just like directv but apparently it pretty much is then. there's no way to 'backup' and that CSR was full of it as i thought..but i didnt wanna assume since i know zip about dish. tis a shame these providers dont allow for legal backup. when i had a service i...
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    my friend recently had a dvr that died and so she called in to get a new one and of course she was upset she lost all her stuff and asked about getting it back..the CSR said (in a smartass tone), u lost it all unless you backed it up to an external drive. i know with directv a backup wasnt...
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    even with plan you pay? what the heck, the directv PP was free visits when i had it i've been bugging her to get the thing aligned because the installer didnt do a great job and even on non rainy days she has issues but now if it's gonna cost her 15 i guess i cant even suggest that then.
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    and she really would only pay 15 for the thing if she has no protection plan? seems like no incentive to pay for the plan then???
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    for a dead receiver is it normal for them to send out a replacment vs a service visit? my friend has dish and apparently has a bad receiver and she's not impressed she has to wait up to 5 days for a replacment...she was told her 7 dollar a month saved her a whopping 15 shipping. so if she didnt...
  17. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    here's something weird, lost signal in the snow last night but she said the red light was on and sure enough, AI recorded for her even though the signal was out and didnt come back until after midnight...so hows that possible? it's really nuts that services wont operate for at least a few...
  18. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    no new stuff, must be the handshake, guess cant really fix that and her component is used by the DVD player i think will have to switch stuff up for her as a test also i never knew dish rebooted every night, no issues like that when i had directv..weird design indeed
  19. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum

    HD and she said no lights on the receiver when she hit the remote..more i talk to her sounds like batteries in remote or user error..told her next time receiver doesnt turn on go to it and turn it on at the box she also said the tv said 'no signal' which to me means the receiver wasnt on but...
