  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So I seem to lose signal even when the weather is only moderately bad. I've put up with the outages for the last couple years, but now I'm sick of it. I had an installer here this summer hooking up another HR24 and he commented that my signal strength could be better. He was going to peak the...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi all, Tried searching for answer, but didn't really find answer as I could not figure out how to articulate the question...apparently. :) I am about to close our 3-season room for the winter. I had a new HR24 installed out there for summer use. I am thinking about putting it in the living...
  3. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have not been able to use this app for some time as it always says "we are experiencing technical..." followed by error 1001- Network Communication Data Contents PGWSReceivers This update has not fixed the issue (even reinstalling) and I have not been able to find a solution to get it working...
  4. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hi all, Tried searching, but found conflicting info or not quite what I was looking for. We recently added another DVR to bring our total to 3- HR24s hooked up via MRV. It seems like I can only play one recording at a time from each DVR if we are watching remotely? Example: Recordings are on...

    I can say for sure that the notes were on the work order. Each and every time the techs called me and I asked "did you see the notes?" they read them out loud verbatim. In every case I could tell they were reading them for the first time, but they were definitely in the order.
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When I ordered I made sure to have them put notes on the install ticket that I would only accept HR24 DVRs. I had three year old equipment from Dish and didn't want to replace it with equipment that was similar vintage. If I was signing up for new service, I wanted the newest equipment to go...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Because I dont want to be one of those people that only posts when I'm unhappy, but not when satisfied... It took three attempts, but I finally got my Directv service installed WITH the equipment I wanted (HR24's, no refurbs!) and am very happy with it! I am still learning the UI differences...
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    In my case I have told them numerous times that I am not in a hurry for my install and will gladly wait for 24s to be in stock. Do you think the warehouse supervisor will call me so we can work out an arrangement...yeah right. I keep getting told he will call, but it hasn't happened yet. I...

    That's exactly where I was going with my original post.
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have not called and asked for anything yet. I would like to know what others have gotten so I know what's reasonable. A couple new DVRs at the minimum would be nice.
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    No "told you so"s please. :) I was about to make a jump to Directv since I could save a decent amount of money/month with their current offer. I was also going to gain a second DVR for the bedroom which would be nice since I currently only have a single VIP 622. Long story short, getting the...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This hasn't worked for me. I have now had the installer show up twice with refurbished equipment despite my note about only accepting new equipment. I guess they are out of stock. That's fine, but let me know so no one wastes their time. I talked to someone from the "local office" who said she...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I had wildblue for 3 years. It started out ok, but as they over sold capacity it eventually ended up slower than dialup. I would never recommend it. Do you get 3G or Evdo signal from AT&T or verizon? I have a mobile broadband card from verizon and I get over 130k second download which is way...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I understand that Directv probably has a glut of decent refurb equipment that people can use rather than sending it to the landfill. That's fine, I respect that. Where I have a problem is that I'm not given the option of whether I want new or refurbished. I have bought refurbished stuff before...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I called dtv today to talk through my lack of getting what I asked for yesterday. Needless to say I got nowhere. The csr basically said to call the installer and ask them to pull a couple 24s aside and call me when they're in. I called him and left a message. I have another install scheduled for...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't think it's unreasonable for a new customer to ask for NEW equipment when signing up for new service. I asked for it when I ordered the service and was told by customer service i was getting newest equipment when they confirmed the install. Even the installer said he wouldn't take old...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just turned my installer away a couple minutes ago. I specified hr24, he knew I wanted it, but the warehouse was out and gave him hr21 refurbs to give me. I told him i didn't want three year old equipment and he understood. They can't tell me when they will have them back in stock. So much...
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My parents have a Directv HD HVR (no clue what model) and I have noticed on several occasions while using their system the performance is dreadful. Pulling up and scrolling through the guide is pathetic. It makes my Dish VIP 622 seem light speed. I decided to jump to Direct the other day and...
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I decided to sign up yesterday. I used my mom as a referral so essentially the second DVR will be free. It looks like the offer is still the same today, but they added a plan thats free for 5 months when you get the NFL package. Grumpy: I could get a 211 and add an HD and external to it, but...
