    Old HR44-500, can i be repurposed???

    Your best bet would be to remove the HDD and istall it in an external case.

    Have lost my HD Channels on H21 receiver

    Which satellite are those readings from? They look like the 101 sat to me. What are your readings on 99 and 103? But in any case the dish needs to be realigned.

    AM21

    My AM21 problem has returned. :coco I had to remove power to it to get remote control over the HR44. It might be an over heating thing.

    AM21

    My HR44 has received the 127f firmware and the 15s cycling has stopped. :biggrin So the AM21 seems to be working with the exception that I have a weak signal on one channel. I guess I'll need to get my antenna tweaked.

    That’s it! I’m leaving Dish when my contact’s up and returning to DirecTV.

    DirecTV has still not resolved its conflict with my local Fox affiliate owned by Northwestern Communications. DirecTV removed the station on February 22.

    AM21

    I decided to reconnect my AM21 to my HR44 to check out the the scanning ability. It did find my local sub-channels, however, then was reminded why I disconnected it. It has the problem of cycling the power light ~ every 15s. This interferes with the remote working correctly. I wonder if the...

    As for Dish Network being the answer, who's to say that they will need to negotiate sometime in the future.

    DNS service with waiver?

    The waiver remains in effect unless you cancel it and then it can't be reinstated. But, this may have changed now that ATT took over.

    DNS service with waiver?

    With the current DirecTV retransmission disputes, I wish I hadn't given up my DNS waivers when DirecTV offered my locals.

    Well in that case, the local is cutting their own throat by prohibiting local advertising from being seen.

    It's the station's decision in as much as they refuse to pay DirecTV their excessive costs. :rolleyes Too bad, since they are cutting the revenue stream for those stations. It's a no win situation.

    We lost Fox a couple of weeks ago and now ABC and NBC. :( Unfortunately, my OTA is currently out of commission, so I'll have to go with on demand or the internet for some shows. It's good that the networks are in rerun time.

    Freeze Frame

    I'd like point out that I don't have this problem with the HR44 or with previous DVRs (HR24 & HR23)

    Northwest dispute

    Same here in Binghamton. I'd think that the advertisers would be upset that their ads aren't being seen. Also, if you don't have an AM21, try the Fox Now app.

    New OTA adapter

    Is there a list of the sub-channels included for each market?

    Caller ID?

    I've never liked Caller iD to be displayed on my TV. For me it was an annoyance. Just my 2 cents.

    Sporadic signal

    Any particular transponder on 103?

    DirecTV local channel connector.

    I'd really like to get my hands on one since the AM21 doesn't work on my HR44 since they started the new GUI rollout. I even replaced my HR44-500 with the HR44-200 because my thinking was that the HR was the problem with various problems with functionality. But it was the AM21 causing the problems.

    New OTA adapter

    If the channel database is being updated, will that allow me to tune in several sub-channels in my area that aren't currently available? And if so, will my AM21 get them? As for making sure the software works, good luck with that!!

    22 and subs OTA am21 in Raleigh

    The AM21 doesn't do true scans. Only those sub-channels that are in DirecTV's database will show up. Using a secondary zip helps but the data wouldn't necessarily be correct.
