I may be adding a receiver as well from my other thread.... if the equipment (DVR, genie, anything) breaks and you RMA and get a replacement, does D* still extend your contract for 2 years? There are a lot of complaints online about that, though the language in the contract seems to indicate no...

Good point on if the primary genie dvr goes out. The genie sounds like a great system and obviously many of you probably have it, though kind of disappointed that each mini client does not have an independent tuner.

Thanks, Jimbo. That is honestly something I had considered. So, 1 DVR fee of whatever the going rate is will cover the entire account? (of course still responsible for the $6 per receiver monthly lease). I always thought that people that had multiple DVRs were paying $15-20 per unit per month. I...

I am trying to strategize how to sign-up for DirecTV using one of the major retailers incentive GC offers and not needlessly spend money later on. I have a home and an RV that is regularly used and will be needing a 3-TV install package. If I were to go through the website, order service, the...
