    HR20-700 reseting itself

    If you are plugged into a power strip and have surge potection, try another strip. The surge strips will go bad after time and one of the symtoms is the DVR keeps resetting.

    Buying HD Receiver Off eBay - Lease Free?

    Get the seller to post the receiver Id and card number, then call D* and see if it is a least receiver. They will probably still come back and tell you it's leased. But it may be worth a try.

    Statement from Dish Network on Young Broadcasting Removal

    I agree, they need to keep our dictatorship (formerly democratic) government out of it. My opinion is E* has to stand their ground. If they give in and the rest of the broadcasters see they can get more $$ then all of them will force E*'s hand. And of course, all the higher costs to re-broadcast...

    HR-21 problems

    I had problems with the HR-20's freezing on re-boot and had to unplug the ethernet cable for the reboot to complete. Even though this is not your problem I thought I would mention it since somehow the ethernet port does have some type connection with the software and could cause problems other...

    What is the deal with Mark Spitz??!!

    Mark put us on the map in 72 and made us proud for years afterwards. It has taken 36 years to beat his accomplishments. Ok, so he's crying over some spilled milk. Lets look at the bigger picture here, that Phelps is kicking butt, taking no prisoners and putting us back on the map again.

    I was wondering the other day about you and whether you found a new job. Glad to hear things are moving back in the right direction.

    Question about service technician fees

    If the customer is too damn lazy to look up a phone number themselves, then yes their lazy ass should have to pay the convenience fee for you to do it. It's a shame you can't tell them how you really feel! Customers come in my shop and want an estimate to fix their brakes. 30 minutes later...

    Why are some forums so D* biased?

    So where do I fit in? I have both. I tend to agree with you on the fight of who has a bigger unit. One of these past posts talked about a guy driving a few hundred miles to make his point to some other blogger. I would say that is extreme.

    My daughter's first sleep over!

    Kid's are alot tougher than we parents give them credit for. It's probably more tramatic on you as a father then it is on them. I'm glad her spirits are up and she will probably have a good story to tell her kids when they want to go to their first sleep over.

    30 sec skip...

    The 30 second skip will work with the latest D* downloaded software. The HR21's updates were rolled out last week or so. The 20's were updated a while back. You have to have the newer update before you can activate the skip function. Follow the search procedure that is listed earlier in this post.

    Zedzed, Give us the part numbers of what you used with what you paid if you don't mind. Thanks for the update, I've been waiting for the prices to drop on the bigger drives before I started this project.

    Do Forums matter

    It was these forums that helped me decide which direction to go. I was leaning on Blu-ray and reading information here helped me decide to go with them. There was a lot of opinions why who's was bigger but between the lines, Blu-ray was getting a better reception. Where else could you you go and...

    Video On Demand Active as of Today

    If you connected your DVR to the internet, D* automatically saw you were connected and they downloaded your DVR with the DOD software. See past posts on this sight. I also went on the web in my account and clicked on the approval button to let them view my viewing habits. (Not sure if that was...

    How many HDTV's are in your house

    Re-phrase.... I jumped threads. Someone was making a big hoopla about HD should be the least worries right now for E* and I jumped here to take the poll. So ignore the BB comment. Thanks
