Audio Drop-Out Issues on HR20-100 Hopefully the D* engineers can use this: I've been out of the CE loop for a while, but have managed to test the last two CEs (12/19 and 12/12). I've noticed two different audio drop-out issues that are present on both CE releases: #1: After recording any...

044B: Audio cuts out on channel change Downloaded 044B last night and didn't see the problem until this afternoon. On a channel change, the audio cuts in and out for about the first 5-10 seconds, then the audio is fine after that. Using HR20-100 Dan

I just hooked up a brand new OTA antenna (Channel Master 2016) in hopes I will finally be able to pull in all of my locals OTA. I hooked it up directly to the TV and all of the channels came in at around 60-70%. I then connected the OTA antenna to my HR20-100, and everything comes in at 60-70%...

Re: My HR20-700 has been dog slow for some time now. Not so much when changing channels, but when trying to bring up the guide and going into my playlist. I timed it: 7 seconds from the time I push the guide button to the time I see anything show up on the screen. I called D* and they told...

Receiver: H20-100 Dish: Slimline 3S (SWM)

I started service with 2 TVs about 2 months ago, and everything had been fine up until about a week ago, when I noticed one of the TVs would get blocky at times. It seems to have gotten worse.. Now at times it cannot even lock the signal. A couple times, I've seen a message pop up saying my...

There are 36 items in the series manager.

I've tried resetting it.. That speeds it up for a while, but it eventually just gets bad again. I scanned the disk for errors and it completed without finding any so I assume the HD is ok. My wife does have quite a few series recordings set.. Could that be what is causing it?

I called D* tech support today to get help with a problem with my HR20-700 that has been getting progressively worse over the last couple years. I've noticed the time between when I press the "Guide" button (either on the front of my receiver or on the remote) and the time the guide pops up is...

I found an RCA DTC210 HD receiver.. Wondering if these are still supported by DirecTV. I heard they do not work with MPEG-4.. Not sure of all HD channels have switched over to MPEG-4 or just the locals. Thanks, Dan

A couple times in the last week, I've gone to watch a recorded show, and I immediately get the "Do you want to delete" popup. The length of the show is 1 hour, which I expect, and I saw the orange light on during the show, which indicates it was recording. I did a re-boot, and now the show is...

I called D*.. Told them about the H20-600 problem I was having, and asked if it was covered under the recall. They told me what I was seeing (constant reboots and no lights on the front) had nothing to do with the recall. They did offer me a free replacement ($20 shipping) if I sign another...

My H20-600 has gone into "infinite reboot mode" several times. I would usually just unplug it for a while, then plug it back in and it would boot up normally. The other day when this happened, I plugged it back in and now am not seeing any lights at all. If I look though the top vent I can...

This channel has been very choppy lately.. Bravo HD appears to be on the 103 Sat/Transponder 1, and I'm getting a decent reading (~75%). The only other channel I can find on that Transponder is BIOHD, and I don't have that channel in my package, so I can't tell for sure if it is just that...
