I currently have 2 h24s hooked up to a HTPC running Sagetv. I am looking at switching to a directv DVR, but am worried about loosing one feature of Sage. It keeps a list of all shows that I have ever watched and will not record one of those shows again. I watch a lot of reruns, but don't want to...

Is there any problem using a 4 way splitter and only using two ports! (swm splitter) When I have my d* installed, where will the installer put the power injector? Does it go outside? Near one of the boxes? Is it it something that is easily moved? Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

I am looking at getting d* installed with two hd receivers. Is this like cable where if I add another receiver later, I can just use a regular cable splitter and split off of the coax? Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

Are all current HD receivers (non DVR) capable of changing channels via Ethernet? I am thinking of signing up with D*, but I will be hooking this up to my own HTPC DVR and I don't want to mess with using an ir transmitter and it's inherent unreliability.n o.€+897 Sent from my iPad using...

OK. Try this: Using a browser that has "icognito" or "private browsing" mode (just to ensure that there are no previous cookies or anything), go to directv's website. Then go to packages>english. When the window first pops up, it lists "choice extra" as $34.99/mo (first 12 mos.) with the text...

I currently do not have cable and I am thinking of signing up for direc. I will be looking at the Choice Extra package with one HD receiver. No DVR as I will be using my HTPC for that. HD channels are a must. I don't really watch any SD anymore. What is the best way to sign up? What are the...

I have e* coming out tomorrow because I lost most channels. They wanted to charge me $29 for coming out. I even have the Dish Home Protection . What is the point of this service if they charge you? They did waive the fee after I complained, but I am wondering for next time and to see whether to...

I have a setup with two dishes (one has 3 or 4 lnbs on it, and the other has 1 pointing in a different direction). I have 2 receivers (a 222 and a 211k). Everything worked fine this morning, then all of a sudden, I get just a few channels. Everything else says looking for satellite signal. The...

When i try to look at my programming online, it says that I cant view it because I have an annual account. Dish said that this is due to the cinemax/1c deal. Is everyone else experiencing the same?

I have a 222 and I just got a 211k receiver. I don't see anyway to disable updates on the 211k. Is this possible? (It screws with my htpc when it shuts down every night).

I currently have a 222 receiver. This box has problems with my HDPVR. If I buy another receiver on ebay, do I just call up Dish and they can activate it? What other non-dvr receivers have HD? I only really need one tuner and component outputs.
