  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    All I know is this.. I had Dish. I had a very clear view of their satellite ( no trees for 100 yards) if a cloud came by that looked gray my signal went out. Switched to Direct. Exact same dish location. Poured down rain the next day and my signal was a champ. In over 4 years I do not think I...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    1. Rain fade is far less prevalent with Direct than with Dish. 2. The Genie with the 5 tuners is Great. Another option you might consider is getting receivers like the h25's instead of the mini genies. Those would have independent tuners. In a whole house configuration they can still access the...
  3. Internet Streaming Services
    Just for giggles I went to their website 1. it still is active 2. They are charging you $12 a month for access to the "Free" tv programs, oh they give you 60 hours of cloud dvr service ( I guess that's the charge) 3. in NY city you have access to 35 channels of which I would only use about 15 4...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The whole Crux ( Heart, Core) of this tread is: 1. Diane has made the decision to drop Directv and go with FIOS/TIVO 2. Some people Agree with her, some do not 3. There is a whole lot of snipping going on. Lets just drop this tread and lock it away.... One other question I have is... Diana...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I may be off base here, but up until 2 months ago we were a semi cohesive family, that is until the rumor of the buyout became more of a reality. Now this innocuous thread of one individual stating they were leaving for this reason of saving money has exploded into 9-10 pages, Battle lines have...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If you have the protection plan you could say you believe the eye on your dish is acting up, or that the signals are low..thus necessitating a roll out in addition to the unit replacement.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    While I applaud those who seek to find better alternatives and morn to see them go I am struck by the reality that Verizon has stated that in my area FIOS will not be installed within the foreseeable future. ( in others words NEVER ). But that is OK, They lost a customer for life, No phone...

    Maybe they have been there for awhile, but what do the little arrows mean in the guide on some of the program titles ?
  9. General Satellite Discussion
    Update: 5 days ago I reneged and had Satellite Internet installed. So far so good, but time will tell.. Time Warner made me mad for the last time. I did my due diligence and researched the two company's offered in the area, I then found the local installer and talked to him. He came out did a...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Here is a thought to ponder, If and I say If AT&T buys D* and they slowly degrade and dismantle the system, do we then get to get out of our 2 year contracts for loss of service and breach of contract ? If AT&T is 100% committed to fiber as stated earlier than we no longer have any commitment to...

    Sorry about the Poll questions and answers, I can only work within the constraints of the poll parameters that are available. :blackeye:
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am just looking to find out If you did expand the recording capacity, was it enough to suit your needs ?
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think you meant to say 12TB tested :hurah:
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    First let me state that my undergraduate work was in Sociology, so we tend to like Data and Polls. That being said, I know a number of us have upgraded the recording capacity of our systems from the standard given by Directv to larger and copious amounts. What I want to know is " How much...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I am not due for an upgrade until NEXT year, so I have to save my pennies if I want to see new equipment anytime soon.. :eek2: Heck if I could get 1/2 price I would be all in.. :hurah: Time will tell...
  16. General Satellite Discussion
    I use cable for internet also, mainly because it is the only game in town worth having. Verizion's DSL is Laughable :rotfl: and I have not heard good things about satellite internet..So I am stuck with Time Warner for Internet :bang My internet is sky-high for the speed that is decent ..
  17. General Satellite Discussion
    I made the jump from cable and over the air programming to satellite over 7 years ago, I would not go back to cable if you paid me. I cannot p/u over the air very well so I would only go back if needed. Needless to say I love my satellite service. In my travels around my town I observe that...

    Without a protection plan visit I would have never known that my LMB was starting to go bad.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If you get a New Dvr to replace the HR23 you will NOT be able to transfer the contents. If you replace one of the H25's yes you will be able to see all programs recorded on both Dvr's The Genie is the Bomb !!!!! Sent from my GT-P3113 using DBSTalk mobile app
