  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I called the main number a few weeks ago and reduced my bill by $176/mth.

    Cost is always a factor, but not always in pure dollars and cents. Sometimes the cost just doesn't make sense whether you can afford it or not. I could have just turned my head and easily kept paying DirecTV with no financial impact. But I didn't get financially comfy by ignoring cost/benefit...

    I dropped off the H25 they wanted back at a UPS store today as instructed. If at some point they decide they also want the HR44 back, I'll give them the # of the electronics recycler that has it.

    Do you suppose they will find some 3-in-one oil during those 6 months?

    Why are you so emotional about this, it's freaking TV. :rolleyes: But do carry on, it is entertaining. :D

    That's not going to happen. There is nothing in the letter that says to store their equipment for them in case they change their minds, and I'm good at following instructions.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just a quick follow up to my post directly above this one. I did just now get the Email for equipment to be returned. Surprisingly they only want the H25-500 back, and are apparently not interested in the Genie HR44-700. They said just bring it to the UPS store. You can bet I am saving this...

    Can anyone tell me the normal time after service is shut off before you here what equipment needs to be returned, and the process. Everything has gone normally (as described to me in the cancellation call) so far. That is the cancellation happened the next day after where I was paid through...

    I understand that the DVR function will point to on-demand versions if they are available, but that's a pretty great feature for the most part.
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just started using YTTV in the last week, and I'll admit I was a little worried about how easy it would be to FF through commercials on DVR 'd shows, or the ability to FF at all. So far the answer has been pretty favorable. On the few shows I've watched FF speed hasn't been an issue because...
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, yesterday was the last day of DirecTV programming for me. Shockingly when I got up this morning the earth was still spinning on its axis, and the sun rose in the east. I was a customer since '96 and have nothing bad to say about the service I received over all those years. I never...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    He said for 12 months. I'm not sure that $5/mth per radio was the best deal he was willing to give. When I said no to that he told me to hang on as he had more offers. At that point I just told him I didn't ask to cancel because I wanted a better deal, I asked to cancel because I wanted to...

    I'll be going through this return process in another week and have one question. When you bring the equipment to a UPS/Fedex store, do you literally just bring the equipment and they package it, or is it supposed to be packaged when you drop it off? I am assuming they pack it, but just wanted...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    They just lost another customer about 5 minutes ago. What was really weird was they made no attempt whatsoever to retain me. I've been with them since 1996, and currently have a $176/mth bill. I was shocked thinking I would be on the phone for an hour, but it was glorious. Said I wanted to...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a question regarding this new GUI that I received on my HR44 on 3/6 (0x1037). Not complaining about the function, although there are things I don't care for, but rather the appalling response time to key commands from the remote. Response time is dreadfully slow. This thread is rather...

    Lost my ABC local (Channel 9 - Orlando) during the early AM. Checked my recording list and nothing in there on ABC. Only one football game left on ABC, and it's on Watch ESPN. Pretty sure I won't miss it.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    OK, this is the first time I have had a non-DVR (Going back to pre-Ultimate TV) in the house. BTW, it wasn't one local ad, it was the whole break with multiple ads.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This might happen a lot, but I've never had 2 TV's so close together so I could hear it until recently. I now have a TV in my office, which is like 6' from the living room. The few times I've had both TV's on together on the same station, the audio seems to be in sync. Just now at the 6:45...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just push the OFF button twice if I want the TV to stay on, and the DVR off. Not graceful, but it works.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've had an HR44 for a little over 3 years now, and the RC73 remote to me was so far superior to the old remotes, I couldn't imagine going back. Unfortunately I still had a an HR22 in the bedroom with an older remote I still fumble around with trying to figure out where all the buttons are...
