    Okay, Can We Just Use NFL Network's Red Zone?

    Direct not offering RZ as a standalone channel will almost certainly send me back to Dish next August when my contract is up.

    My hr34 resolution changes to 480i

    I have every resolution checked. Native Off. The light stays at 1080i no matter what channel I'm on, SD or HD. I realize it's a 480i picture when I'm on an SD channel, but it does not change away from 1080i + Original format. Perhaps the OP is accidentally pressing the format button on the...

    My hr34 resolution changes to 480i

    Sure, but it shouldn't stay at 480i when you switch back to an hd channel which is what I assumed is happening.

    My hr34 resolution changes to 480i

    I don't think this is true at all. All of the resolutions are checked on my HR34 and it does not change to 480i by itself.

    streaming to hr24

    Apparently, mediashare will play mp2 video through windows media player or other types of files through an on-the-fly transcoder. For videos, there are a dozen ways to do it better and I wouldn't bother. It's ok for my music collection but very, very slow browsing the files.

    HR34 Bright White Background Entire GUI?

    My HR34's guide, menus, playlist, the entire GUI really, has gone from the dark grey/blue to a bright white with grey fonts. Some stuff is recording so I haven't done a reset yet, but just seeing if anyone else has experienced this glitch. Anyone?

    DirecTV MediaShare for video?

    After some further research, MediaShare can only play videos in an MPEG-2 container and probably some other requirements as well. I could not get it to work at all, but at least one person has a tutorial on how to get it playing videos through ushare though it requires some heavy editing to the...

    DirecTV MediaShare for video?

    HR34 - The splash screen for MediaShare says it's for Music, Photos and Video, but so far I can't find a compatible video file that will play. It tried to play a .mkv file, but the screen went black. It plays music from the computer just fine. Just wondering if there are future plans to allow...

    Help me simplify the various ways to watch shows online (Roku, Apple tv, ect.)

    Hook a computer to your tv and use torrents.

    Technician refused to hookup internet to HR34

    I connected it directly to the router and a connection was established. It said to wait 24 hours for On Demand content. One of the H25's gave a message that it was no longer connected to the HR34 and whole home dvr wouldn't work... but it seems to be working fine. Shows are still available in...

    Technician refused to hookup internet to HR34

    Directly or with the connection kit?

    Technician refused to hookup internet to HR34

    I have two H25's in the bedrooms. The router is right next to the HR34, but I read you shouldn't hook it up directly if you are using the whole home dvr. Upon further reading, another person stated it could be connected directly if you use a band stop filter. Pretty confused, here. He seemed...

    Technician refused to hookup internet to HR34

    He said it's causing problems and refused to do it. He told me to wait a couple of months (for updates) before getting the kit and hooking it up. Anyone know anything about this?

    Finally got D* yesterday, this HR34 is pretty cool.

    Mine is coming Thursday with two H25's or 24's, whichever they bring I guess

    Direct equivalent of Hopper/Joey

    Thanks! On the "different live program" questions, I understand I'll need the 25's in the other rooms. I should have been clearer. So, an H25 can pseudo-manage the dvr of a 34 or 24... can it create a timer/event? I think, maybe, I have it all figured out. It seems that, if up front price is...

    Direct equivalent of Hopper/Joey

    I've done some research and just want to confirm what I think I know. I'm with DISH now, but they won't upgrade me to 1Hopper/2Joey setup so I will switch as soon as I can get some stuff off the DVR. Main tv is in living room. 2 bedroom tv's. All HD. The HR34 with two HR25's would be similar...

    Someone explain DISH's thought process to me

    Yeah. Really, though, why bother? I've had this 622 for, I don't know, five years maybe. And the protection plan that you don't even need anymore for that long as well! We'll see.

    Someone explain DISH's thought process to me

    It's mid-July and I was just told by DIRT I was ineligible for Hopper upgrade as well. Maybe it has to do with bundling through CenturyLink who they no longer partner with. Perhaps it's time to just flip providers again. Whatever. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

    WatchESPN and ESPN3 Access

    Concerning ESPN3/WatchESPN - I'm stuck in CenturyLink/DISH hell, too. Best bet is get a username and password from someone who gets it.

    Google Nexus 7 Tablet

    Nope. Still makes no sense. Other than a some apps and games, I don't think there is a single piece of content available to ipad and Fire users that is not available to Android users... and vice versa.

    Android tablet advice *Need a keyboard cheap

    For podcasts I use Google Listen. My stock file manager really sucks so I use one called "File Manager", I think?! And BS Player for playing videos and accessing the network share folders (for media) quickly.

    How long should a laptop battery last until replacement?

    Agree. Leaving it plugged in for long periods seems to really bring down a battery's lifespan. Also, sometimes these aftermarket batteries, which get a bad rap, can outperform the manufactures. Anyway, replacing the battery once per year seems too frequent. This laptop doesn't have Vista on...

    Cricket review or opinions

    I'm looking at Cricket as a carrier for my wife's cell phone service. Mainly, because it's cheap for unlimited talk and text from a no-frills phone. Coverage? Customer Service? Complaints? Just looking for general opinions from anyone who was or is a Cricket customer.
