    Getting 2 wireless Genies

    I ordered both the Wireless Bridge and C41-W from Amazon (actually shipped by WeaKnees) and installed them myself. I had to ask a few questions on DBStalk.com before I got everything working correctly, but it wasn't complicated. The chief problem I had was that the instructions shipped with...

    New York Yankees

    Either god is a yankee fan or one is controlling the power in my area. There were no power problems Friday night, when the Yankees had that incredible comeback to win the game 8-7. Saturday, my local FOX station lost the HD feed in the top of the 8th. A few minutes later every UPS in my...

    DIRECTV is Home for 2007 MLB Postseason in HD

    I suspect I will need to use my HR10-250 for fox OTA and HR20 for tbs. D* has not released my local channels in HD yet and I only have my antenna connected to the HR10.

    Rick Ankiel received 12-month supply of HGH, News learns

    Of course, the story was broken by a NY paper. Do you think the Mets are getting scared that the Cardinals may win the WC?

    New York Yankees

    The problem is, unless either the tigers or the mariners sweep, the yankees are still likely to gain at least one game in the WC standings. Go KC.

    The return of TiVo to DIRECTV

    You certainly don't need a hard-wired ethernet connection for VOD. I have it working fine using wireless-G. Yes, it takes a while for the selected show to download, but unlike the Tivo downloads from amazon.com, the download does not need to complete before you can start watching it.

    HDMI vs. Component

    I find no difference in picture or sound quality between HDMI and Component. I can't remember whether or not my HR20 included an HDMI cable. If you decide to get HDMI cables, don't even consider Monster ones. They are priced much higher than ones you can yet from places like Monoprice...

    New York Yankees

    It is a shame that Kennedy, that Yankee rookie pitcher that you are all so proud of for winning his game today was not the rookie who pitched the best game today. Clay Buccholz pitched a no hitter in his second MLB start for the Red Sox tonight.

    Harmony 880 - skip feature

    Just remember that if you don't have direct line of sight to the box and need to use RF, you will need the Harmony 890, not the 880. The 890 uses both IR and RF, while the 880 uses only IR. You would still need to set the HR20 to IR mode with the 890. The remote uses RF to communicate with...

    Panicing :(

    Just a thought, but does your TV accept all input formats? Some people have found that sometimes the HR20 sets itself to 480i after a software download or power surge. Try using the RES key on the front panel to cycle through all available formats.

    HR20-700: 0x18a Staggered National Rollout

    The release of 18a appears to have been stopped for the moment. On dbstalk some people who downloaded the CE last night for the HR20-700 and then tried to rollback to the national release this morning got 17e instead of 18a. This may just be because there was a problem at the start of the...

    MLB.TV - Any opinions?

    As far as hooking your PC to your TV and viewing the MLB.TV games on your TV, it depends on what connections you have available. My HDTV has a VGA cable connection and I have used it to view MLB.TV games. However, I never bothered to investigate a connection for the sound. My PC can produce...

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    This is the esata combination I am currently using with my Tivo S3. I will probably move it to my HR20 once the new HD channels become available. 1. Antec MX-1 External Drive Case 2. Hitachi DeskStar 1TB Hard Drive I am currently using the esata2 cable that is included with the MX-1.

    HR10-250 how to change HD output

    AFAIK, there is no way to tell the HR10 to switch to a particular output. If what you mean is switch to a different output format, Messages & Settings->Settings->Video->Output Formut - UP Arrow Setup. Use the select button to place a check mark next to all the ones you want to use and to...
