  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    I just left DTV this week and came back to DISH. When I left DISH a year ago and went back to DTV I posted that DTV's picture just seemed a little crisper. That is no longer the case. I now notice no difference in pq using the Hopper 3. The pq seems perfect on my 55" and the Hopper 3 seems far...

    Thanks o both of you. Appreciate the help.
  3. Hopper System Support Forum
    Coming back to DISH soon from DTV. Setup is going to be a Hopper 3 and 2, possibly 3 Joey's. My question is, can a wireless Joey be moved from one TV to another and then back again? We have one room that is used just for guests but it's kind of silly to pay 12 months to use a Joey in that room...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    These offers are all great but they really only apply if you are at the end of your agreement or have no agreement. I've taken advantage of many of them over the years with both DTV and DISH. The offers with DTV are usually more lucrative than those with DISH when you are out of contract. After...
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well, it was like I thought, the last installer had not wired the connection he said he would! Doesn't surprise me in the least bit. But, this turned into quite the challenge for the two techs that came out. One pro and one in training. They started by running a check and finding out that my...

    It has exactly six! Under my entertainment system where the HR44 is located I also found what is labeled as a stand alone SWM 16 module.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I believe you guys have hit the nail on the head. When this system was installed I told the guy I needed that room wired also so hat I could switch my receiver back and forth when we had company. I took him at his word that he had done so since he left the coax coming out of the wall to hook up...

    Way out of my element here guys. How do I reset the SWM. According to the rep it was suppose to be on the floor behind the tv where the 23 was. Well, like I told her, there was nothing there other than the DECA which is attached to the back of the 23. Haven't tried hooking it back up in the...

    Moved one of my HR23's from the bonus room to a bedroom and get nothing now except a 775 code! Called DTV and they kept telling me to reset the SWM connected to the receiver and I kept telling them this thing has an DCA2S attached to it that may not be working now. When I disconnected it I...

    Sorry. Found a thread on this from July. Too bad we cannot just delete these type of mistakes!

    Much easier to just start with retention. That way you don't get transferred around. They are the ones that have ability to apply multiple discounts. I never threaten. When they ask why I am considering leaving I just tell them the truth. I really don't want to leave but I need some help with my...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've always got great deals by calling and just being sincere when I tell them I need to reduce my costs! They will usually give me numerous types of discounts of from 3-6 months and openly tell me to call back when they start to drop off. While I never threaten to leave I do occasionally make...

    And to save that $50 on a service call you paid almost $100. Not trying to be snarky. As long as your happy is all that matters. They were actually reactivated ones but on my account they show as owners equipment I believe. I really hate them but like I said, they wanted an additional $200 to...

    I've never understood the rational for having the protection plan? It's not like they won't send you a new receiver if needed. You just pay the shipping is the way I understand it and 2 months of paying for the protection plan almost covers that! dpeters11, what's the difference in having the...

    Same problem here with my HR44. Lots of pixilation unless I'm tuned to an AM21 channel also!!
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well said. It appears that you are not a videophile like many here so just make your decisions on your economic needs. But, you have to be ready to for lack of a better word, plead for it. They are just not going to give it away. Since you seem a little averse to doing this it might just be...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's not always greener on the other side. Over the last couple of decades I've played a lot of satellite company roulette. Been back with Direct now for a year. Prior to that I was with DISH for a year. Prior to that with Direct for several years and prior to that with DISH for several years...

    I've got tvapps up the kazoo!! Been going on for weeks now. Will be sitting there watching a show and all of a sudden I get a pop up saying loading apps! Once they are up I hit exit and everything goes back to normal, for about two minutes and then it happens again and again and again. The only...

    Assuming you are talking about cancelling your service in August, why not just do it now? The deactivation fee and early cancellation fee come to probably only $75. You could be $150 ahead by August if you cancel now!! Just sayin.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Recorded fine on my 44 but this appears to be some type of glitch for sure. Several times we have had the same problem! We go into the list to watch something and when we click on it it shows 0 mins recorded. If you go into the history it will probably show "recorded" but that won't help you...
