    How Long Did You Wait For Your HR20 HD DVR?

    I am in SE Michigan too. Called Monday (as I had been on "the list" for 7 weeks) and I was given an install date. Call them up and be polite but persistent.

    Directv HD Complain Save Money

    Wow, I get a headache trying to read Sonic Rob's posts. The sentence structure and spelling killed it for me, I had to stop reading. Sorry you loved Voom, but it is what it is. You had choices, now you have to live with your decisions or buy your way out.

    How Much for the HR20?

    Retention first offered it to me for $399 (2 months ago). Laughed at them. They came back with $320, with $150 instant bill credit and free showtime and HBO for 6 months. Told them looks like I will be a Charter customer next week. They changed it to $318 with $150 instant credit and another...

    How Long Did You Wait For Your HR20 HD DVR?

    I have been on it for 2 months now. I have called repeatedly to complain and to seek an answer as to when they will be "getting more instock." The reason I put that in quotes is because one call, after being eleivated repeatedly, a CSR finally told me that they are not sold out and...

    Getting an HR-20

    I also wanted to add that I am surpsrised that you are getting an H20. I was told by a retention specialist that they have stopped shipping all H20s until they can get a number of the software bugs worked out. Guess that is not entirely true.

    Getting an HR-20

    Another major difference (to me at least) is the H20 does not have dual live tuners. What this means is in your current Tivo, you can switch between the two tuners. Say for example you are watching 2 football games. You pause tuner 1, watch tuner 2 live for 20 mintues, pause it, then go back...

    "DVR Fee"

    Another interesting point about the DirecTV "wait list" for the HR20s: I have been going back and forth with D* over the fact that they claim to have no idea when they will clear their waitlist. Finally, after being "elevated" by support several times, I was told that they have PLENTY of HR20s...

    Upgrade questions

    Hello - I just upgraded this morning to the HR20 (I'm on the wait list) and I have a few questions I forgot to ask the CSR, so I hope you can help me. 1) I already have a SD Tivo upstairs, so I am already paying the D* DVR fee. Will I be charged another $5/mo. to run the second line to...

    HR20-700 Question

    Well, I gave it a shot, and got a deal I can live with. Maybe not the best, but it will work. I pay $318, then get an immediate $150 credit. I also get $10 off for 12 months and $5 off for 6 months. All toll, I end up paying $18. I can live with that.

    HR20-700 Question

    I searched high and low and could not find the answer, so I hope you all can help me. I am looking to upgrade my H20 to a HR20, but could not find informtion on what the current rates through DTV are. When I followed this a month or two ago some people were paying $300 to lease them...

    At DirecTV The Sky's the Limit

    I am in the media business and this type of thing has been a hot topic at my company. From what our legal department has told us on several occasions is that under fair use you cannot post, e-mail or otherwise transmit an entire article - whether you paid for it or it was free. Further, it is...

    Additional MPEG4 / Detroit Info

    Those of you that are getting your locals in HD in the Detroit areas - when they are working do you notice the sound clipping very briefly every 20 - 30 seconds? It drives me nuts.

    Additional MPEG4 / Detroit Info

    Well, say a little prayer for me. I am expecting Microtech tomorrow. For some reason my dish keeps losing signal on the sat at 100 degrees. It is back working today after being off a good part of the weekend. $20 says it will be working when they get here and they do not do anything...

    Additional MPEG4 / Detroit Info

    Well I get to deal with Michigan Microtech again. I am not getting signal on the sat at 110 degrees at all. None of my three receivers are receiving signal from that sat. It has worked off and on since the install a little less than 2 weeks ago. When I called D* they tried to tell me I owed...

    Detroit Metro Locals in HD

    I agree with that. My installer came out last Friday for my upgrade and informed me that I would not be getting HD locals for about a month. I told him I bet they are on as soon as we fire it up, he said no way. As soon as we got in the house, there they were in all their local HD glory. He...
