I encourage everyone to check there accounts online for ordering equipment. Alot of times lately online has had different offers then what agents do over the phone. So I would check both online and then call in if you cant find a deal you like. Lately the deals have been better online vs over the phone.

 

[Mr Tony]

very cool.

I should of mentioned that myself, as I called in and they had a different offer, so she said for sure to take the online offer, much better.

Yes i can't wait to get it, and having a debate where to put it, Im thinking My Moms room, since it is mothers day, and should be here this coming week.

Also, for anyone who know, and I guess Stonecold would know best, when I deactivate my one receiver will they send me a box to send that receiver back? It is a reg SD Receiver.

Been a pain watching SD on a HDTV for my mom, looks ok, but HD is best by far especiallly with DirecTV.

 

[stonecold]

Depends on the model of the SD box some we are not recovering any more . D12 and some D11(s) are the only ones we are recovering any more .

 

[jwgreen68]

Been almost a month and no recovery box for my hr24. I mentioned it to a car and she gave me a verbal shoulder shrug. It's holding down my Ottoman....My online offer is $99 for a HD receiver. Don't know if that's a good deal or not? Only been a sub for 3 months. Used to get all upgrades for free from E*, but was a longtime customer.

 

[JUCJ85]

stonecold, I have 2 SD receivers, one is from DirecTV it self, when they installed, which is a d12-300, and the other is one i purchashed off ebay, which is d10.

Would it matter which to deactivate?

 

[Mr Tony]

The D10 has a OTA tuner in it (I have one) so if you are using the OTA option in it, I'd keep that active

Checked mine today online and got a HDDVR being installed free along with DECA's for my receivers so I can get the supported version on Whole Home DVR along with the Directv Cinema kits for free this Saturday.

 

[JUCJ85]

I have one last question, I am interested in Whole Home DVR, now Ive looked at the website, but havent called, so I wanted to post here 1st.

How much is the installation, and whats needed?

I can get the new HD-DVR for $99, I just checked it out online...thanks for the the tip

 

[jwgreen68]

Mine gives me a price of $248 for 2 HD dvrs and 1 HD receiver. It lists the hddvrs for $199 each, HD for $99, setup fee-$300 and installation -$49. Somehow that adds up to $248. Lol

 

[jwgreen68]

Okay now its changed:

Description Total HD DVR Receiver [?] remove $199.00 HD DVR Receiver [?] remove $199.00 HD Receiver [?] remove $99.00 Setup Fee $300.00 Shipping & Handling [?] Free Professional Installation [?] $49.00 Total Due at Checkout $347.00 Professional Installation [?] Your one -time costs. [?] Check Out Due at Checkout $ 347 00

Still seems like a good deal. Why is there a $300 setup fee but I'm not getting charged for it? That's almost $850 for $347?

 

[IcEWoLF]

I can get the HD-DVR (new one) + installation for $99.
Nice...

Had to cancel order as I relaized I need an extra line coming into each room. So called DirecTV they were great cancelled, and re-scheduled with same rate, actually was only 29.55 instead of 50 service fee.

And I think I have 2 coming, I have to double check tomorrow, they are coming Tuesday at 8-noon and can't wait.

Why an extra line into each room? My hr24 has just 1 into the pi and a cable into the hr24. Can't I just swap the sd's for hd's?

they said I needed 2 lines in, not sure they are correct or what, but they are coming tuesday with free installation, so Im not gonna complain. They were very very helpful.

no, I have 2 HD and 2 SD, Slimline LNB i believe, whatever that means, not to knowledgable on the dishes they give out.

They said when upgrading from HD to HD DVR i needed two lines from the satelitte dish.
