Directv trying to pry my Tivo away with threats of loss of HD stations…
I have a Directv branded HR10-250. Directv has been ruthlessly haranguing me with phone calls telling me I won’t get their new HD stations on it starting soon. they want to give their "free" DVR, which having had one, know for certain that I don’t want. Finally, one of the salespeople who’ve been calling broke down and told me that if I did accept their "free" DVR, that they would actually start charging me for the HD stations that I now get free (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, HBO). So much for free. He said I am "grandfathered in" getting these free if I let things stand. But now I get a "crawl" on certain stations saying that the network HD stations are moving channels. I just want to keep the deal I have and get the HD stations I get and keep my HR-10 250 (weaknees). Anyone know what the deal is with the networks switching channels and will I still receive them? And if I DID want the new Directv HD lineup, is there no Directv/Tivo combo unit available for that?
