  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I decided to try the Facebook Messenger method and talk to someone on there since I didn't get a win back email or call yet - the person on Facebook Messenger was able to give me an additional $21 off per month for a total of $81 off per month for the next 11 months (the $60 promo will drop off...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Who said I was the injured party? Its strictly business. If I'm not happy with the price, then I'll cancel the service. I've been a DirecTV customer for 20 years, but as the promotions have started to get worse, it is time to go somewhere else. If win back can give me a better deal, then I'll...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So I called to get my discount this year and the best they could offer me was $60 off a month. They said it was because I was in my last month of last year's promo. So I called back this month and they said they couldn't offer me anything more - and I setup a cancellation date of 2/27. I...

    Thanks all! I appreciate the info.
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have an HR24-500 - and the hard drive went bad. I also have been a paying customer of the Directv protection plan for over a year. Does anyone know if Directv will still replace the owned HR24 with a new one and will the new one still be owned? Been awhile since I saw an answer and wasn't...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Received 0x870 this morning and my closed captioning is messed up still - lots of extraneous stuff in the captioning (keep seeing "1117xm<1117xm<" inserted along with the text - amongst other special characters. I ran a "sendreport" this time - Report is 20140611-3D86. HR44-700 I was watching...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It happens on more than one channel. I have noticed it on On Demand downloads too. Couple of channels as an example - HBO (501), NBC Washington DC (Local-4), FOX Washington DC (Local-5), HGTV (229) Most recently I downloaded Fast & Furious 6 On Demand HBO and the CC was very bad, couldn't...

    Ah - I didn't know about that. Cool - I will try a sendreport next time it really acts up - Thanks!
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That only works if you have reporting turned on which I don't right now (I know what you're talking about though, I have had it turned on before). But I thought that is for the other forum. Anyway - perhaps I'll turn it on and send a report next time it is really bad. Thanks!

    Ever since getting 0x863 on my HR44/700 the closed captioning is garbled (the text is mostly fine but sometimes there are extra "special" characters like letters with accents on them). Sometimes the text is completely unreadable though. I just tried restarting the receiver through the menus...
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    By the time the Genie Go 2 is for sale - DBSTalk will have a First Look for Genie Go 3 and we'll all keep waiting :)
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I'm also looking for one - I tried to buy one off of eBay - seller identified the model # as MDR2 and said it would be that model, but when I purchased he said he could not get any anymore (not until stock of the original Genie GO are depleted like others have stated). :( Guess I'll have to...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm not sure why - I just know it caused issues for my HR24-500 and my old HR23-700s which I don't have anymore. My theory is that it has something to do with the Far in Advance guide, since ARSLs have to search all guide data - maybe the extra data from far in advance is causing the ARSL...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Did you try one of your HR24-200s on the DLP to see if it also occurs on the HR24? Also how old is the bulb on your DLP? Could it simply be that the bulb is going - you can sometimes see strange results with an old bulb. Its possible you didn't notice the orange issue until you looked for it...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The lights on the front of my HR44-700 turned off after the update - I had to hold down the left and right arrows on the receiver to get them to turn back on. I know normally resets the lights to 100%, but this time it went to 0%. Not a big deal - just thought I'd mention it incase anyone else...
  16. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    What you're proposing will work fine. The HR44 has built in DECA, so you don't need a DECA Adapter, all you need to do is plugin the coax connection and it will be able to talk to your other HD-DVRs that have the DECA Adapter. The wired CCK can continue to be used to provide Internet access to...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I second keeping the HD-DVRs and the Genie (actually I said it originally in my post above) :D You would then be able to all have separate playlists (but remember with Whole Home, you will see each other's playlists unless you select the Local only Playlist). And you'd be able to delete a show...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    You could keep your HD-DVRs and with Whole Home still watch anything that is recorded on the others (including the Genie). With Whole Home turned on though - you would normally see everything on all DVRs on each DVR's List unless you change it to only show local recordings. Not sure if you...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I tried the route of getting credits and buying through Solidsignal or WeaKnees and the Retention rep even spoke to her supervisor and they said they don't do that ... who knows. I know others have been able to do it - but I was unsuccessful. I've already got the HR44 owned - so I'm already...
  20. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    DTV could do something like a dongle (sort of like how the B-band converter worked) that splits a 16 tuner connection into 2x 8-tuner lines though right? Or if the SWM LNB had 16 tuners on 1 line, and then new splitter could convert to 2x 8tuner lines or just split out into 16 connections (or...
