I expected $50 bucks but they paid all of the claim I submitted.

Now, I can fully recommend people get Direct TV. Yes, we had a couple of problems but they went out of their way to correct the problems.

DTV is great ... and if anyone is interested they have a special now where you can lock in a cheaper rate for the next year.... IIRC it is $86.plus for all 250 channels ... also, I think they throw in the $5.99 for the DVR fee. If they would let me have it I'd go for it.

Thanks, I already called them tonight. They said some old guy named Mike cancelled the order. So they've ordered another and are shipping it two day.

Now I wonder who that "old guy" was?????

I just got the directv DVR model R15. Has anyone had any problems with that one?

Good news.

Does anyone know if DirecTV offers local KC channels in HD?

Chiefs Pantalones · 12-27-2006, 08:45 PM

Has anyone else had problems with the HR20? I hope not, because we're getting one on Jan. 2.

12-27-2006, 09:09 PM

Yeah, I'm on my 2nd one. It's not working at ALL now. The menus work so I know everything is hooked up properly but I have no programming. Getting ready to call them now.

Crap, I wonder what's going on?

Do you think that's the norm with the majority of them? Anyone else you know have troubles?

It sounds like your account has become deactivated. Are you getting an error message in the lower right hand corner? Something like 711 or 721?

12-27-2006, 09:36 PM

It doesn't say anything at all. I have a completely blank screen.

Sounds like a dead receiver. Did you re-set it? (button inside the access card door?)

12-27-2006, 09:58 PM

No. I didn't know about that button. But I did and now it works. Thanks for saving me a phone call. I still don't know why it does that - for no apparent reason and with no warning. The HR20 is too finicky than it's worth.

I think they rushed it into production so they could get rid of TIVO. Dish just stole Tivo's patent. Neither were very smart moves.

When do you think DTV will have the bugs worked out of the DVR's?
