I switched to Dish from DirecTV on Sunday. The main reason I switched was for more national HD. Dish has the channels I wanted and DirecTV does not. I got the 922 and it is much better than the DVR I had with DirecTV. The 922 responds when I hit a button, not 2 or 3 seconds later. I'm glad I...

The 360 and Wii here both download stuff much faster than the PS3 (all are using wireless). I've stopped downloading anything except required system updates on the PS3 because it is so slow.

I don't like the cartoon style artwork so I won't be getting it.

You tilt your head forward to look down and back to look up. Same with the controls. The non-inverted scheme is the one that doesn't make sense.

I was getting an error in clnetshow.dll when I clicked on play. I uninstalled PowerDVD and now it works.

I uninstalled PowerDVD and that solved the problem. DirecTV2PC is now working. HD playback is smooth. Had to unlock parental controls for some shows to be available.

Crashes with an access violation in clnetshow.dll when I tell it to play a show. XP with latest service pack and video drivers. nVidia 8800 GTX.

The program starts up fine, but when I click on play to watch something, it gets an access violation in clnetshow.dll. XP with the latest service pack and drivers. nVidia 8800 GTX.

Peg A and slot B.

The main thing I miss about the HR10-250 was the guide format. It made it a lot easier to see what was coming on. It was similar to what you get now if you highlight the channel on the left and hit the info button, but showed more information quicker. I would switch to a new DirecTivo just for...

The DirecTV tech just left. Swapping out the multiswitch fixed the problem with the new mpeg4 channels.

I have the same issue on an HR20-100. On any of the mpeg4 mirrored channels (hdnet, discovery home theater, etc.) I get the 771 message. If I leave it there, the channel will usually appear after about 4 minutes of displaying the message, but changing to another channel and back gives the 771...

When I last tested earlier, I was still receiving 498 and 9301, but had lost 9300 when it switched to A&E. I just got back and checked again. I'm still receiving 9301, but now 498 and 9300 are both blank. HR20-100 0x18A

In the last couple of minutes (around 6:00pm central) I lost 9300. Just has a black screen now. Still getting 9301.

I've been able to receive all the test channels previously and I am still receiving them. My father was only getting the two B band channels with a blank screen on 498. Today he is getting the slide on 498 and also receiving 9300 and 9301.
