    When I switched from DISH to DTV a few years ago DISH charged me $10.00 for a missing remote when I sent back their receiver.

    Hi all, My "leased" HD24 DVR (own 2, lease one) HDD started making alot of noise a few days ago. Now, when used a few hours it will shut down saying its overheated and needs to cool down.

    DTV should lease to own

    ...Hmm, I talked to DTV and I asked this very question. He said without plan, no guarantee of what replacement owned model would be but with plan if you exchange a bad owned Hr24, you would get an owned HR24 as replacement (no contract extention. Seems further investigation on this subject is...

    DTV should lease to own

    ..I own two HR24-200 HDDVR's and have a leased HR24-100 HDDVR and come Jan'13 no contract thus no liability to maintain one so no broken contract fees. For me, knowing I can have any package when & how I want saves me money! You do pay a $6.00 a mirror fee but thats it. Also, if you have their...

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    ...Got them off ebay, 2 guys to lookout for are r2nk & sat_owner. Look em up, get the RID# from receiver, call DTV and verify they are owned and woolaa! No contact and they are owned. You will have to order an access card for $20.00 tho, thats the only negative.

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    ...I put H24 in 3 locations around my house where the other DTV receivers are, same problem, power light flickers, changes channels and dosen't stop. DTV said sounds like loose wire on board or something broken inside. I will be getting this exchanged for my 3rd HR24 HDDVR. (2 of 3 are owned). :)

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    lol! Let me explain, I already purchased the H24, I will return it + $118.00 extra. Total is around $285.00 for a owned HR24 HDDVR. My contract is up in 6 months then I will return one HR24 HDDVR and keep my owned HR24 HDDVR and H24 unless I get another HR24 HDDVR instead which is where Im...

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    ...Its owned, I can return it to the guy I got it from and get an owned HR24-100 HDDVR for $118.00 extra. The only thing that worries me is that my leased HR24-100 is real noisy compared to my owned HR24-200.

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    ...Looks like what mine is doing. What now has me puzzled is why does it work in living room but not in my bedroom? I looked at the cables and my living room has RG-6 coming out of wall into HR45 but my bedroom has some king of cable tv cable with 57 on it, not RG-6. Also length to room is...

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    DTV set it up with Whole Home & internet with their Cinema Connection kit. Whats really strange is for the last 3 hours after it went nuts it seems to be functioning normally now. Have tried all functions and it stays locked where I set it. Maybe I wasn't allowing enough time for it to set...

    DirecTV offers to customers who complain about dropped Viacom channels

    All I got was $5.00 off a month for being enrolled in Auto-Bill pay. Maybe its because I only have 6 months left on my contract and own 2 of my 3 receivers.

    H24 possesed? Wont stay locked on channel.

    Yea, I moved receiver to another room and switched to a RF remote (same issue). Shame, this is really a nice receiver to compliment my two HR24 HDDVR's. Thought about getting a H25 but read about problems with it vs H24.

    Hi all, Just activated my H24 (owned) tonight and it wont stay on any channel for long. :mad: Front DTV light starts blinking by itself then channels change, goes to menu, back to guide, etc. Remote is set to IR, THX for possible solutions! Bill

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    How about a reduction in our monthly bills for the missing channels? Sounds fair to me besides everything else seems to be market driven.

    Hi all, I just added an "owned" HR24-200 HDDVR to my account and want to know if this plan would be useable. I have another HR24-100 HDDVR & SD (both leased) receiver in my home. Researched and cant find answer, THX! Bill :) Not sure if I even need warranties on these machines. So far 1.5...

    Hd A35

    The A30 & A35 use the same Anchor Bay VRS ABT1018 chip for up-conversion. The A3 uses a lower end chip. I have the A35 and love it! Seeing the TRUHD and DTSHD MSTR (bitstreaming via A35, not on A30) lights light up on my Onkyo 605 receiver, priceless!, also the A35 allows for Deep Color support...
