    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?

    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...

    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?

    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...

    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.

    9 dollar multisport

    A letter from Dish I received today states the Multisport package is going up to $9 on Feb 23rd. Could this be the 24/7 HD we've been waiting for or just another run of the mill price hike?

    WattOS Linux distro

    Just started using WattOS on my old eee pc. It's a small, LXDE distro, very much like Lubuntu... Anyway, it has been phenomenally fast and efficient on this old netbook. I wanted to give it a mention here in case anyone's looking for something similar.

    The player no longer works with linux, or at least on Fedora, as of the past week or so. It requires some kind of add-on that is not compatible. If anyone has a fix for this... let me know.

    New receiver coming soon?

    When my phone contract is up in a few months I'll be getting a smartphone. I would like sling capability to go along with it. My question is... should I go with the 722k or is there perhaps a new box coming out sometime in 2011 that would be worth waiting for? I haven't heard anything, but any...
