    Questions about adding 2nd HD-DVR

    Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone here knows if this would work and if so if you could answer a couple questions for me. I want to add an HD-DVR to my basement so that we can watch our recorded shows downstairs as well. When we originally got DirecTV installed they ran one cable into...

    HR20 problems recording, etc.

    My wife was recording a special live episode of Ghost Hunters last night and went to bed about 30 minutes into the show and when we went to watch it today, it was nowhere in my VOD either. I am nowhere near the max capacity of my drive yet.

    Directv Sucks

    I SUCK! Stupid!, stupid me! You're worthless, Foto...WORTHLESS!! hehe I apologize to anyone who doesn't see the humor in a personal attack on myself. I just got D* installed a few days ago, and to be honest I expected worse PQ having read all the whining. I had HD on cable and the HD I have now...

    Will this setup work?

    Thanks for the reply to this post ro1224. I have one more question for you since you have gotten this to work. How is your audio hooked up? With my current cable box which is HD I had it hooked straight to the TV and also hooked through the TV on different video inputs. The problem I have is...

    How Dish treats its customers

    If I pay the $199 do I have to commit to 18 months? When I go through the Dish Builder and select everything , I have the option to commit or not to commit to 18 months to save $50. Obviously it is worth 50 bucks to not be locked in but I am pretty sure that I have heard of having to fulfill a...

    How Dish treats its customers

    Yeah I have been going back and forth for months and driving my wife crazy. I tend to analyze and research things to death before buying something and there are good and bad for both services. It was a little easier when I came to my senses and realized that although I like football, I would...

    How Dish treats its customers

    I don't want anyone to think I am writing this as a flame or to be a troll. I have Charter cable right now and was looking to switch to D* or E* and after going back and forth I settled on E* because it is a better deal and decided I can do without the Sunday Ticket. I have read the forums...

    Confused by DirecTV practices

    Stupid me Oh yeah...I forgot to ask my local DISH NETWORK dealer if he could help me get a free HD-DVR from DIRECTV. Yeah the only local dealer I have is a Dish dealer so forgive me if I didn't check with him first to see what his local DirecTV deals were. Damn...stupid people....

    Confused by DirecTV practices

    Also I did check out Value Electronics and they had a HD-DVR for $399. I am not looking for just the HD receiver or just the DVR receiver, otherwise I could get those free almost anywhere. I am pretty sure I am just going to hold out in hopes that the next HD-DVR will be here soon where I can...

    Confused by DirecTV practices

    What you talk about here where they intentionally send you something different than you order, I consider as fraudulent , rather than "shady". I seem to be ruffling feathers with this question and I am not trying to anger anyone. I am not asking about a promo to the first 1000 customers either...

    Confused by DirecTV practices

    No I am not a current subscriber. It isn't so much a person's standing with a company that I am worried about because I understand deals for longstanding customers. It is the fact that by many people's accounts here, it is dependent on what number you call and how many calls you make...and what...

    Confused by DirecTV practices

    I am interested in DirecTV but am confused about everyone getting different deals from them. They offer one thing to one person and not to the other. They have deals that they give to people based on how many calls you make and how good of a day the CSR is having. I did call a few times to...

    How do you know what is HD signal on antennaweb.org

    This may be a dumb question but I am looking at the stations that are listed in my area on www.antennaweb.org and am not sure how to tell which ones broadcast an HD signal? I am not completely familiar with the way OTA works so are all these are all HD if you have the right equipment? I do have...

    Will this setup work?

    Tried getting the HD DVR for free I talked to a CSR this morning about getting one for less or free if I signed up for DirecTV and along with Sunday Ticket and it was a no go. She said I would still have to pay the $300 for the box. I asked about them coming out with the new box soon and she...

    Will this setup work?

    Good to know...*S* Thanks for the info on the Tivo Series3. I hadn't heard either way yet if it would/wouldn't be possible to use with DirecTV. You are correct about the Series2 not having component cable jacks. I was up way late last night when I was writing that post. *L* Thanks again...

    Will this setup work?

    Hey guys, I want to sign up for DirecTV but don't want to buy the current HD DVR that they offer. Would it be possible for me to get just the HD receiver (without DVR) and use the HDMI to hook straight to my TV to my high def tv and then use the component out on the HD receiver to hook into...
