    Problem with R15 and Caller ID

    I agree with you. The old Hughes receivers also popped up the caller and would go aways after 4 seconds. Now we have to clear it. Another anonyance is when you use the remote to control another component (DVD, VCR, TV). It pops up a message that the remote is set to control another...

    Problem with R15 and Caller ID

    Well it does work after a reset or power-on state as others here have also said. I can't believe it's a grounding problem. The RG-6 cables are also grounded (earth) that come into the unit. The R15 also knows of a incomming call and tells me that I have to subscribe to Caller-ID with my local...

    Problem with R15 and Caller ID

    I got about two caller ids that worked all month. I did watch when a call came in and the R15 knew that the phone rang as it popped up a message. Not with the number but instead that I should call my local phone company and get caller id! My other three Hughes receivers all work fine with...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I am in the same boat. I had thought from reading within this forum (I think from a VE post) that if you had DirecTV TiVo @ $4.99 that you would be grandfather in and continue to pay that much with the R15 replacement. Well I got my first bill today and it has $5.99. I questioned that to...

    DirecTV House Wiring

    These worked very nicely for me: http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=WMFDIGI-SQ or http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=WMFDIGI-S depending on your cable used. I have the RG-6 Quad connectors.

    Saw a R15 on a DirecTV comercial tonight

    I was watching a show tonight when DirecTV had a commercial for their DVR offering. What struck me about this was they showed a R15 briefly for their hardware. Why did I say it was a R15? It had the blue-glowing ring in the middle of the box which matched the leaked preview of the R15 manual...

    HUGHES GAEB0 and GAEB0A update!

    I got a couple of HBH-SA as well but I see no problems with those. Elf mention that the problem was something to do with if you have WatchWords in effect when the bad software appeared. The problem may go away if you remove your WatchWords. Does anyone know why the units have to be replace...

    HUGHES GAEB0 and GAEB0A update!

    I agree that there is nothing on the market that can take the place of a GAEB0A and it's feature set. I love this unit. And I have a warrantee on this unit but sounds like that is worthless now as Hughes (HNS) does not support or sell previous hardware anymore. Looks like the products that...

    HUGHES GAEB0 and GAEB0A update!

    I really glad to see this thread. I was wondering what happened to my GAEB0A. (I really like my Hughes receivers and I am sorry to seem them go. Anyway back to this problem.) It has been resetting itself all week but I had more problems. The video would freeze up sometimes and would come...

    There are no rebates for the $99 DVR for existing DTV users is there, just new DTV customers right?

    DirecTV TiVo DVR on sale at Best Buy

    Okay. I decided to purchase a DirecTV R10 at CC this past weekend based on how many people just loved it in this forum. I activated it with no problems and then proceeded to explore this thing (first time DVR/Tivo user). Background: I come from using Hughes DTVs for all my receivers up to...

    DirecTV TiVo DVR on sale at Best Buy

    Another thing I yet to find in a DirecTV DVR that has and can use a RF remote. One of my Hughes DTR has that and I love it specially when I feed another remote TV from the same DTR and can control it from the other room.

    What is the difference in these DVR Models?

    My point exactly. It is very confusing. And, the HNS (Hughes) web site (HUGHES DIRECTV Systems Support) says "HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS NO LONGER MANUFACTURES DIRECTV® SYSTEMS". So another questions is once the inventory is gone, all that will be left will be DirecTV-branded receivers based on...

    Do you like yours (Pros and Cons)? I wonder why Zenith makes no mention of it on their web site.

    recommend a hd receiver

    Hey what's with Zenith. Did they get out of the HD Sat rcvrs? Those boxes seem to had good press a while ago now. I noticed that some of you have the HD-SAT520.

    What is the difference in these DVR Models?

    Do you mean the Hughes DVR (SD-DVR80) will getting the new software or they are coming out with some new hardware in a month or so? When you say the R10 "looks worse" you mean the physical look? If yes, I agree. From a web page with a picture of it, it does look cheap. But pictures can be...

    What is the difference in these DVR Models?

    Thanks for the information guys! Very helpful. So over a short time as the current stock depletes there will be no Hughes branded DirecTV receivers. Correct? One think I liked about staying with the Hughes line (I have 3 units now) is that when I go to another receiver at home, it's the same...

    What is the difference in these DVR Models?

    I am looking at the DirecTV R10 and RCA DVR80 receivers. The DirecTV R10 model does not seem to be in abundance yet at DirecTV sales web sites but it looks like both of these models are the same, at least it's looks. Can someone tell me the difference? And how does the Hughes SD-DVR80 compare...
