I was having problems with my genie 1 setup at home, When I called customer service they told me I was eligible for a free upgrade to the new Genie 2.The installer was on site in 2 days with necessary equipment.After doing all installation work including going up on the roof we were talking to customer svc to activate when she started asking about the equipment listed in THEIR system that is in the RV. When I explained what it was I was told this Equip(HR24 & D10-300) could not be listed on the same account as the Genie 2,Only way to make it work would be to put RV equip on separate acct.(more $$$).I refused the upgrade I felt sorry for the installer, he had to deinstall equip, but no way am I paying more for TV.

We should all canx tv accts for one month and bring them to their knees.

Stand your ground..but yes, some hardware upgrades do not work with older equipment..Thank you for informing us..fyi,, my Genie had a major software upgrade this am.... auto-update...but my Genie goes from home to travel trailer... I have 2 genie antennas..

X2 cancel and don't go back. The traditional providers are feeling the pain. Every year cable and satellite are bleeding customers faster than adding them.It's not easy to cut the cord, you will have to give up on some comfortable old shows that mainstream media uses as bait to lure you back in.Give up on those shows, you'll forget about them eventually. Find new favorites, the production quality doesn't match mainstream yet but it's increasing quickly.

“you will have to give up on some comfortable old shows”I Love Lucy? Leave It to Beaver? The Lone Ranger? NO NO. I can’t do it.

One month won't do it if they know you'll be back.

We have Direct TV and would like to cut the cord but DW likes the dvr. Are there over the air DVR,s available. We mainly watch network TV.
AT&T and Direct TV have a way of making my blood boil by raising rates anytime the want to .

Yes there are OTA DVRs... I don't have a specific one to recommend.

When I cut the cord I gave up on network tv entirely.

wow! I was thinking of going back to directv. my dish equipment is about as good as the radios used in WWll, totally unreliable. so slow to gain channels and works as fast as a sloth.
