    If Directv could improve your experince and keep you for life what would do it?

    An Extended HDD that is married to your account, not your DVR! I recently lost about 1/2 TB of programming on my HR34. DTV replaced it with the HR44, which was nice. However I'm seriously considering going back to Dish just for their vastly superior storage handling. My commitment is up in 4...

    Costs of XstreamHD thread

    When you say it will function do you mean as a DVR? I'm assuming that you would have to program it like an old VCR, or would it be able to use TVGOS data to populate the guide info? Its good to hear about the tuner section as that would have been a very odd omission.

    Costs of XstreamHD thread

    Two Questions I have seen asked, either here or else where, are the ATSC tuners uhf only? And if the service were to fail would the equipment at least be able to be used as a stand alone DVR for OTA programming? Ala. the DTVpal DVR. One thing that would make these VOD type of rentals more...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    It would appear that e2fsck did work after all. It made a bunch of numbered files and folders on the drive but the 722 still couldn't see anything. After looking through the folders, all but one of which was pretty much empty, I found one that was very full. I changed the name of the current...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Yes I ran e2fsck. It didn't find a problem with the super blocks but when I ran the other test using the previously found super block numbers it did correct some apparent errors. It still didn't work on my 722 however. I don't remember seeing any folders on the Linux machine but being a Linux...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Same here. Tried the Linux fix but still no go. I can transfer new programs but can not see any of the existing ones. I have a 500gb drive that was almost full! If the Linux trick doesn't work am I just screwed? Everything was working fine until I got the L622 "Upgrade"!!:mad:

    HD Absolute - how long?

    Thanks. I guess it pays to look at the whole guide sometimes! DOH! I always liked that channel. But not enough to pay for the top tier to get it. Oh well, I suppose I can enjoy it during the free preview then bye bye! Absolute forever for me!! Or until Charlie decides to take it away. :(

    First Rumor of 2009 - 922 Screenshot?

    Has anyone heard if the 922 will be able to tune an OTA channel when it has lost it's sat. signal?

    Reply from DN concerning VOOM

    CES 2008: XStreamHD Satellite 1080p media system - SlashGear 1080p and DTS-HD MA sound. I hope it turns out as good as it sounds. Then it really won't matter what dish, or the other guy, does.

    HD Channel List: Dish Network vs DirectTV

    There are several SD only channels that you don't get, ie. MTV, VH1, E!,.... etc. plus others. For me the ones I no longer receive are not worth the extra $24 or so I was paying to have anyway. For me it was a no brainer. Why do they call it an HD only pack? Who knows, but I can't complain.

    HD Channel List: Dish Network vs DirectTV

    Actually with the HD only package you still get the SD version of the HD channels as well.
