    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    Scott, if you haven't tried already, I would lead with the fact that you've been with them for 12 years and on autopay and then just ask for the deal again -- say that you read about it online (that's what I did on my third try). I say in an eariler post where a CSR responded by calling this a...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    bigpro, HD locals are available in my area and I had my choice of upgrading the HD receiver to a new HD receiver to receive the local channels in HD, or go with the MPEG 2 HD DVR. I went with the MPEG 2 HD DVR (HR10-250 because the deal was great) and was told that I get the MPEG 4 HD DVR...

    Selling receiver

    Following up on the original question on this thread, I have a TS360 that I no longer need (after using it for less than two years). I see them eBay, but I was told by the install tech that I can not sell the unit. He added that since I was the original subscriber on the unit, D* will only let...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    I was previously told that as part of getting the HR10-250, D* was going to replace my existing 3LNB dish with the 5LNB dish (in prepration for the upcoming upgrade to the HR20-250). During the installation, I was told that they wouldn't replace my dish until I actually had an HD-DVR that could...

    NFL Moves KC-MIA Game to Friday

    It is nice to see all you Dol-Fans in the forum. I am also very disappointed that I will not be able to see the Fins tonight. Like a few others, I only have the NFL ST so that I can watch the Fins. Matter of fact, I only have D* so that I can get NFL ST so that I watch the Fins. With this...

    Splitters, two boxes, and media center

    I have a similar setup with three TVs (with one HD), but I have a Windows XP MCE on a non-HD box. I just use two different outputs in the MCE setup, where the Coax output goes to the non-HD TV and the S-video and audio cables go to the Windows XP MCE system. That way, I can record programs...

    Get out your wallet. ST in HD now $318.00

    I'm late in joining this topic and learning about the 2005 price of $318 for ST: Super Fan. The one thing that I didn't see any one mention (and I may have overlooked it) is that this outrageous price is in addition to the $10.99 monthly HD price. So, for the four months of the NFL season, it...

    Darth, I don't know if your question is for me because your last posting appears to be a bit fragmented. What is your followup question? Rob.

    Anyone Using DirecTV with MS Media Center 2005???

    I am using Windows Media Center with my DTV Hughes SD-HBH receiver. In the 5-6 months that I've been using it, I've only had one occasion where the IR trasmitter did not successfully change the channel. After it happened, I simply went into the Media Center application and reconfigured the...
