I called and threaten to leave due to the size of my bill (I only have a single DVR - HR24-500 with the Premier Package and Protection Plan and always paid on time.) Well, they told me right away that I had a lot of credits available to me. When it was all said and done, they gave me $69 worth...

Thanks. They appear to be in good shape and are RG6, so it should make everything much easier for the tech, as I planned to have my HR24-500 unplugged and out of the way before he gets here. My window is between 4-8PM on Sept 3rd, so the quicker he gets this done, the happier we both will be.

I do have another question......I have 2 lines running into my house from the dish (I have an HR24-500) and there are 2 lines running into my DVR, I understand I need a single line SWM LNB and probably a power inserter (is a power inserter needed?) My question is...can the tech still use one of...

Well, I checked my set up and I do have 2 cables running into the house, so I will need the single SWM LNB and the power inserter I assume. Anyway, I called and got what I wanted. I took them up on the free upgrade offer (due to having the protection plan) and the tech will come out on Sept...

I still find it strange that it will say I have no internet connection, but at the same time, I can go right ahead and download on demand shows and such and watch them. You would think it would state "connected" if I am able to download on demand stuff? I find this rather strange for sure?

Bringing this thread back to life guys. :) So, If i have 2 coax lines currently running into my HR24-500, and I get the free upgrade to the Genie (hopefully the HR44), I would also need a single line LNB and a power inserter in this scenario, correct? If so, with the free upgrade to the Genie...

Thanks lacubs. Did that permanently fix it...or do you still need to do it once in a while? If so, about how often?

Thanks for the reply rob. So are you suggesting I unplug the router and wait 30 or so seconds and then plug it back in and try to "connect" again? I have done a restart (held in the red button on the front of the DVR) and that didn't work. I have not tried to "reset" the router. Has there been...

I have an HR24-500 connected to my Comcast Wireless Gateway Router via ethernet. I only have the HR24-500 and no other boxes, so I don't need any multiple room viewing features (MRV.) My question is......I am able to get any on demand stuff that I want with my DVR. No problem whatsoever doing...

So that will work with a SL5S dish on a HR 34? I only ask because it doesn't say it will work with a HR34 and it says it is for a LNB SWM 3? I understand the part about the 21V Power Inserter, but I am a little weary of what the ad states. I like the price, so I may I need to shop around a...

Here is a better question...can I put a new SL5S LNB onto my satellite dish myself or is that something a tech should do? And since I have 2 tuners, I assume I would have 2 coax cables running from the dish, so if I can do it myself, would it matter what coax cable I could continue to use from...

Darn!!! Thanks for the quick answer. It looks like a single wire LNB goes for $100. Is a new HR34-700 still around $400 "to lease" or are they lower than that now?

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like I have a Slimline 5 dish according to the info. But I have 2 tuners in the back of the DVR. Does this mean I need to get a LNB? By the way, what does LNB stand for?

Howdy everyone. I have a HR24-500 currently. I only have 1 DVR in the house and all I really want from the upgrade to the HR34 is the PIP. So, would I need a new SWM dish to go with the HR34 or am I already good to go?

Is there a a thread or master list somewhere around here that shows what affiliates are still in dispute and could possibly be dropped as of 1/1/11? I read a few weeks ago that my affiliate, WGAL here in Lancaster, PA might be dropped due to a dispute, and I haven't found anything that says it...

Well I did the red button reset and it worked, sure enough. I guess this will be my fix for the foreseeable future....thanks guys.

Yeah, that is what I was looking for, but I didn't see anything mentioned about an update and problems with the caller ID. This DVR has been weird since I got it 3 1/2 weeks ago. It turns itself on (the blue power light comes on, not the blue ring) whenever I have it turned off and the show I...

I called retention because I was no longer tied to my contract. I told them I would like an HR24-500 since my current HR20-700 was acting up. I have the protection plan and asked for a new HR24-500 which they couldn't guaranty me as a replacement receiver. So, I asked the rep if I could go to...

No, I haven't done that, but the phone works fine from that location, as it has the caller ID box and it shows all calls received in that time. I just don't understand how it can work fine for all that time and then just stop one day (unless it was the cable, which it isn't). I mean, the DVR...

I had the HR20-700 for 3 years and this feature always worked fine. I got a new HR24-500, and it worked fine for the first 3 weeks. But in the last 4 days, it just stopped working? I have the notifications set to "On" to show up on the TV, and my caller log has calls up until Dec 23rd. Then...

Well guys, I tried that last night. I checked every hour or so before I went to bed and it didn't come on when using the current settings with my 880 remote. I then tried the DirecTv remote to turn it off before bed.....it was on again this morning. So I know it isn't the remote. Plus, I never...

I have had my HR24-500 for 2 weeks now. For some strange reason, I will turn it off (with my Harmony 880) along with all of my other gear using the macro, whenever I go to bed or leave the house. Well, for no rhyme or reason, I'll come down to the basement to watch TV the next day or later on...

I do have a toslink cable that I am not using. Not sure about the TV, but it is a Sammy LCD 46" A650. It is about 2 years old. My receiver is a Pioneer SC-05, so I know it has it. But, if using this form of audio, I would need to change from the HDMI output to the toslink output whenever on...

I just hope that they are close to agreeing on a figure. Losing any local station would be a real PIA. I guess I could go with the AM-21, but that is an additional (short-term) expense I would not rather pay for obvious reasons. I assume if they don't agree by Jan 1, they would continue to...

I have the HR24-500, but since I get my locals, I didn't need the AM-21. So, if I do get the AM-21, I would still be able to get my local NBC station, even though DirecTv might drop the carriage? And with the HR24-500 and the AM-21....could I continue to use my HR24-500 to watch my local ABC and...
