    HR54/500 Audio Issue?

    Has anyone else experienced a drop in audio level since the latest firmware 0x1040? My audio level is half what it used to be.

    HR-34 Slowness Issue

    Well this was timely...I was just checking in to see if I was the only one. Scott, those questions really don't apply. My HR34-700 is slow from the moment I turn it on. It takes almost a minute to show a picture or sound on turn on regardless of what channel I am on. Doing anything is painful...

    HR34 Freezing

    That figures. I think it is this latest software release. I might try downloading a CE version this weekend and see if that helps.

    HR34 Freezing

    I don't have all those issues. My HR34 works fine until I attempt to watch a recording that is on one of my HR21s then it just freezes. The video still plays in the upper left hand corner of the screen but it accepts no commands until I reset it. Mine also comes up in a pink color when it...

    HR34 Freezing

    My HR34 has been working great up until the latest software release (583). Now when I attempt to watch a show on another DVR via MRV it freezes. I don't get any please wait message or anything it just freezes on the recorded list. To fix this I do a reset by pushing the little red button...

    Directv PQ... Is It Just Me?

    I purchased Digital Video Essentials HD Calibration DVD. After using that my picture looks a lot better. Like jyafink though some channels are slightly better on different days/programs. I contribute that to the original source though. I highly recommend Digital Video Essentials to anyone...

    Directv PQ... Is It Just Me?

    I'm not entirely sure. I adjusted a bunch of stuff. Turned off all the auto picture control stuff on my TV and adjusted contrast and sharpness settings. I ordered a calibration DVD. When I get that I will adjust further. Sorry I can't be more specific but there are way too many settings on...

    Directv PQ... Is It Just Me?

    Well after spending considerable time adjusting my TV I have a beautiful picture once again. Not sure what changed to cause me to have to do that but the problem is solved. Thanks guys!

    Directv PQ... Is It Just Me?

    Ok I guess in some ways that is a relief. Maybe my receiver has an issue that can be corrected. I am sitting about 8 feet from the screen so that is not the issue. Blu-ray looks great but I see compression artifacts with D*. Could this be a problem with my receiver? I am running HDMI...

    Directv PQ... Is It Just Me?

    D* PQ...Is it just me?? I find it hard to believe that there is not a thread on here already complaining about this. Does anyone else see the over compression on virtually all channels? I had sincerely hoped D* would not overload their new satellites but my PQ is getting worse by the day. At...

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/15 0x0269

    Download went fine last night. Woke up this morning and turned the tv on and everything was in a reverse negative look. Menus, and picture...Performed an RBR fixed the problem.

    HR20/HR21/R22 CE Release 8/1 0x025E

    I'm still having issues with media share. It stills says it is unable to play. It worked fine just after the download but when I got up the next day it wouldn't work. It works everywhere in the house. i.e. on my xbox 360.

    DirecTv and TiVo

    PVR4Me.....I was in a similar situation as you with the HR10-250 and was very reluctant to give up my Tivo but I figured I had to do it sooner or later so I got the upgrade to the HR21. I have had it for about 5 months now and in my opinion it is just as good as or better than a TIVO. If you...

    D*RM is here for all to feast on

    The current way these companies advertise is outdated. They need to come up with new ways to get their advertisements seen. Just because something has always been done one way doesn't mean it is the best way or should in some way retard progress so a company can make more money. This kind of...

    D*RM is here for all to feast on

    Here is a copy of the response I got from D* Thanks for writing. Beginning April 15, 2008 DIRECTV will be introducing new guidelines for DVR Pay Per View recordings. As you may know already, movies purchased and recorded to DVR receivers will be automatically deleted after 24 hours. This is an...

    D*RM is here for all to feast on

    They screwed up by letting it happen. If they knew this was going to happen why didn't they do more about it? Tyralak - This is national. I sent an email complaining about it to D* and they state that this is being required by every provider including cable. If HBO or any other premium...

    D*RM is here for all to feast on

    This is crap....I will never order another PPV movie. Why would I pay the same amount for a movie that I can only watch for 24 hours when I can go to any local video store and rent it for a week? D* and the MPAA have really screwed up!

    SD Quality Getting Any Better?

    Sorry to say that SD on D* is far from perfect...Some of the SD channels look horrible on my 52" Aquos. With that said the larger your display the worse it will look. I too hope that D* increases the bandwidth available to SD. I love HD but there is still a lot of programming that is not in HD.

    Directv to limit viewing to 24 hour window? on PPV movies

    If this is in fact being forced by the movie companies I think it is a very stupid move. They are already on slippery ground with all the options that are on the market. Why would you pay that much for a PPV with a 24 hour window when you can pay just as much (or less) at blockbuster or...

    HR21-ALL CE Release 2/22 & 2/23

    The audio dropout after fast forwarding that I am experiencing seems to be caused by the "jump back" the video jumps back but the audio doesn't come on until it is at the original point the fast forward was stopped.

    HR21-ALL CE Release 2/22 & 2/23

    I downloaded Friday night. I am not having as many issues as some others but this release is definitley buggy. The menu is sluggish at times as if the cpu is busy crunching something in the background and lacks the memory. I also experience about a three second delay after fast forwarding until...

    Games advertisements in the guide

    This concerns me as well. Right now it is not too bad but if we don't complain now what other guide ads will we be seeing soon?
