    Local NBC station to drop carriage with DirecTv

    I, too, am within WGAL's viewing territory (Harrisburg, here). I had no idea this was going on. It'd suck to mod my system any more than it is for OTA but if I have to, I will! My wife barely understands how to work DTV, adding another non-DVR viewing element likely will make her explode. :)

    Very sluggish receiver issues

    I've had DirecTV since around June (both HD receivers, whole house DVR, HR24 in both rooms, wired internet connection). I've noticed (especially today) my receiver is VERY sluggish to menu commands. I'll push guide (while watching a show) and it takes a good 4-5 seconds to appear. Same when I...

    Hooking Internet up to HR24 with MRV enabled

    Very strange. I have Comcast here installing my Internet and they won't use the same coax as DirectTV. They're putting another line and plate right next to my existing one (which is where DirecTV is hooked up). So, since do I now just hook up my modem via ethernet to the DECA supplier even...

    MRV - lag issue

    That worked on the downstairs HR24 (thanks!), but was a no go on the H24. It doesn't have the smart search option, though I did try with the "Search for shows" and select keyword and then 30skip. But no luck. The lag's annoying. :( I guess I'll have to live with it, I was hoping someone with a...

    MRV - lag issue

    Yes, MRV using a HR24 and a H24. The H24 is where I'm having the lag. I should mention this is happening with both the 30 second skip and the normal fast forward / rewind buttons. Their is a good 4-5 second lag before anything happens when those are pushed (when pushed the screen freezes then...

    MRV - lag issue

    Hm, I don't see keyword search function anywhere. The only search I see is Smart Search which searched programs and interactive areas of DTV. I tried that but it of course searched only shows and brought up no results. Where can I find the menu you are seeking? (I looked in my manuals and the...

    MRV - lag issue

    My HR24 is downstairs and the H24 is upstairs. When I'm upstairs watching a recording show, it is VERY SLOW to fast forward with considerable (4 seconds or so to even begin) lag, and the FF and RW doesn't move much (and this is after pressing the button many times). I feel this isn't right but...

    Hooking Internet up to HR24 with MRV enabled

    OK, thanks that helps a lot. One question totally off-topic: My HR24 is downstairs and the H24 is upstairs. When I'm upstairs watching a recording show, it is VERY SLOW to fast forward with considerable (4 seconds or so to begin) lag, and the FF isn't much of a FF (and this is after pressing...

    Hooking Internet up to HR24 with MRV enabled

    Yup, Direct did this install. Should I call Direct or my installer? He gave me his card with 2 cell numbers and said if I had any trouble within 3 months to call him and he'll come take care of whatever is wrong. Jag, I'd appreciate the diagram. :) I'm pretty tech savvy but for whatever...

    Hooking Internet up to HR24 with MRV enabled

    My apologies for all the questions, I'm a DirecTV newbie completely and am confusing myself the more I read this forum. LOL I had my HR24 and H24 with MRV installed Friday, and it's working like a champ. However, when I had it installed I did not have cable Internet at my house (had a very slow...

    Guide question

    Thanks, guys. I didn't hit the select and notice that line there. I guess there's no listing of episode number though, eh? (A guy can dream!)

    Guide question

    I had DirecTV installed Friday, and am getting use to the differences between this system and my former Dish Network one. One thing is REALLY bothering me though about DirecTV's guide, and I was curious if I was just not looking in the right place. With Dish, the guide told you when the show...

    Had D* installed this a.m., my report

    Ah, if he gets a little kickback I'll definitely keep that chord plugged in for a week per his suggestion. I tipped him for a great job, and would love to see him get a little extra. Final question: I'm currently on DSL but will be switching to cable internet in a few weeks and want to plug my...

    Had D* installed this a.m., my report

    Thank you guys. :) I should have played around before asking, but you all are so helpful I figured I'd give it a shot. One more question I completely forgot about: When my installer was finishing up activating the system, he asked if I had a land line and we ran a phone chord across a room for...

    Had D* installed this a.m., my report

    I cannot express how good my installer was. He was clean, courtesy and explained everything (even though I pretty much knew exactly what he'd have to do). He got me both HR24 and H24 receivers, plus threw in the HDMI cables they require (I'm sure this is fairly standard, but it's nice they do...

    Switching from E*, have questions

    An update: Called the AAA number tonight and ordered my DirecTV package, and had no problems getting the referral pricepoint either. I'm paying $29.99 for the first 10 months, $39.99 for the next 10, then $69.99 for the remaining 2 year committment. All that for 2 HD receives (one DVR), MRV...

    Switching from E*, have questions

    Due to where my phone and coax lines run, it's going to be a major pain to run new ones (my phone line with my router is actually in my kitchen, immediately next to my office but two doors leading outside between the rooms). I could move my router upstairs, but I fear my signal strength down...

    Switching from E*, have questions

    Yeah, that's my reason for switching (sports). Dish is good with movie channels, but with Netflix we really never watch them at all - definitely not a selling point for us. MRV is why I haven't had DirectTV (we won't ever have a system without this Godsend), and with it now available it's just a...

    Switching from E*, have questions

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I'll most likely order in the next week - still debating (I've been with Dish a LONG time ... ).

    Switching from E*, have questions

    Unfortunately my router isn't near where any TVs are. The router is in an office with no TV and no coax hookup, and moving the router would require moving it upstairs to the opposite corner of the house. :/

    Switching from E*, have questions

    Thank you, jdspencer! You helped clear up a lot of my confusion. :) I could run a phone line (I'm on DSL) to one of the boxes, but not the other, if need be for OnDemand. It could handle that (as has done for Dish a few times).

    Switching from E*, have questions

    I've browsed this forum for a while as I've thought of switching to DirectTV since I learned MRV was in beta. A requirement for us, and the only selling point for Dish, is their wonderful MRV set up (and costs cheaper than D* a bit, but I digress). A few questions I haven't found the answers...
