Thinking of getting it installed next week. Anything I should know? Any tricks or packages I should look out for? What about the hardware, I have heard the Genie is solid are there any monthly fees for the boxes?

The new genie is the HR44 which is badass. It's the one you will receive as long as credit is decent.
Records 5 shows at once and has a newer smaller remote. Also very small and runs very cool
Great deals right now, free equipment, packages starting at $24.99 and free Sunday ticket.
Let me know if you have any questions. I can help I work in the business

As far as packages the most popular is the choice extra although choice might be sufficient. Even entertainment package has good channels.

I'm seeing online they have the "Ultimate" with 225 channels and HBO, Cmax, Starz, and Showtime for free for 3 months for 39.99
And then they have "Premier", which has all the Ultimate does, plus a few extra channels, and the HBO, Cmax, Starz, and Showtime year round for 86.99
Can you switch between the 2 after signup? Like if I did Ultimate initially but then after the 3 months in like March when GOT starts up could I switch to Premier easily?
I have good credit, will I get the HR44 genie free of charge or are there monthly rental fees?

Yes equipment is free up front.
Monthly fees are as follows
Assume u get the ultimate
$39.99 for first year
$25 per month for genie whole home DVR- if u sign up for autopay u get $10 off for two years so its $15/month
Each TV past the first is a $6 monthly fee for the box. So for 4 TVS it's an extra $18
Pretty standard industry fees
So it would be for 4 rooms with ultimate
39.99
15 DVR
18 for 3 rooms at $6 each
$82.99 for first year
Go with the ultimate and then call and cancel premiums and they will give u deal. If u switch by yourself then u will lose credits.
I called for a buddy last month after his 3 months of premiums were over and he had ultimate. Lady offered me premier half off for a year and it came out to be cheaper than ultimate with free premiums.
Make sense? If u want I can email u offline. I know ways to get u a better discount too

Sounds like I should do the Ultimate package, so.
$39.99
$15 Genie DVR
$6 for bedroom
$60.99
Then after 3 months call about the permiums and get a deal on those?
I'd be interested in hearing about the additional discounts, I can't post my email address on here though.

Its by far the most expensive but also by far the best. Proves shoot up after that first year but if you bitch they'll basically keep giving you the good deal for a year or two maybe even three more. Eventually it'll get harder and you'll be paying a bunch. I've heard others have bargained and keep getting it cheaper but I'm too busy to waste my time playing games. I personally love it.

Yes, make sure you get the Genie with the 44 and NOT the 34. Don't take that bs that "this is all we had at the shop" nonsense either. You can use my code 39265852 and get $100 off ($10 off your bill for 10 months). I get the same discount so it would help me too.
email me at htownjeeper at gmail if you want me to send you an invite and more info in case they ask.

Yes. That is one thing I love about directv. You can easily switch packages and change programming without any hassle. I've done it many times and it's almost like it seems wrong. I was used to cable for so many years. You will not regret it one bit.

I have every channel with 4 HD boxes 2 being standard dvr's for about $200 a month. I feel like I'm getting bent over and I've been a subscriber for 7 years.
