DVR Recorders Questions

Email sent in by Mary about DVR Recorders

I am currently a DirecTV customer and would like to upgrade to the DVR. I have several question.

I was reading and saw where Dave said something about having to pay extra for TIVO. Does that mean that the DVR that you get from DirecTV doesn’t work unless you subscribe to this?

If I should upgrade to the DVR and still have my second receiver do I have to pay 4.99 for each of them? If I bought two DVR would it then just be 4.99 extra each month?

I have thought about switching to Dish Network, but I left Dish a couple of years ago because when they installed my dish they didn’t run new wire and used my existing outside wire that wasn’t for Satellite and we had troubles all the time. When I got DirecTV they ran new wire and never have had the problem again. Would I be a new customer if I go back and if not would I then have to buy all the equipment again myself as I don’t have dish equipment anymore. I left in good standing with Dish I was never late paying my bill.

So how much would it cost me to switch back to Dish?

One more question if I would stay with DirecTV and the DVR works without paying anything extra can I use unhook my receivers I have now and hook the dvr up myself and just call into DirecTV to give them the new box numbers or is there more to it?

Thanks! Mary

Email sent in by M. about Combining both Directv & Dishnetwork Signals

Hello,

I was wondering if there is such a switch that can combine both Directv & Dishnetwork signals. I already have two RG-6 cables coming to my home that is currently hooked up to a superdish. I would like to add a Directv dish as well but don’t want to run more leads to the house. Is there any way I can do this?
thanks,
M.

New Mexico residents can throw their frustrations with cable television programming in the trash because better service is on the market. This service is satellite TV and it is rapidly growing and increasing its subscribers daily. The reason it is growing so quickly is because finally consumers are getting what they have always wanted: a fair price, good customer service and quality programming.

My Crazy Uncle In Vermont finally Got Satellite TV

My uncle lives in Vermont and has just purchased satellite tv. Apparently people in Vermont like to do things their own way, because he refuses to let someone professionally install it. This is not a money thing, it is an ego thing. Not to imply all people living in Vermont have egos, only those directly related to me. So in order to help my uncle I put together some ‘do it yourself’ tips on installing satellite tv equipment.

My mother recently acquired the dish network with 3 -311 receivers. 2 are hooked up in the house and she is wanting the third to take to the trailer at the lake. I have hooked the 3rd reciever up to a antenae (dish 500) with the quad pro lnbfs. I have good signal but can only pick up 2 stations. I hooked up my 301 and got all the channels. The 311 has no smart card, but then the receivers in her house don’t have them either but she has all her channels. How can i get the 3rd 311 to pick up all the channels

Hi,
Will I still be able to get the NFL Sunday Ticket if I have a broadband phone line through Brighthouse, rather than a standard Verizon Phone line?

THANKS

Dave
