    Why does the DVR record duplicate episodes if I set Series Record to First-Run Only?

    It's annoying and happens a lot. In all the years I've used DVRs, this has never happened until signing up with Direct the last few months. Not really a good excuse for it to happen since it didn't even happen in the tech's infancy. Get it fixed.

    Sharp Markets 90-inch TV

    If you want a huge TV, the Mitsubishi DLPs are great IMO. Certainly better than a 90" non-top of the line LED, and 5-10 TIMES CHEAPER. I paid $1,350 last month for a 82" and sit 9' away(kind of want to move closer). A FP is not in the cards for me right now and I wanted to get as close to a...

    directv on demand vs cable

    One thing I'm very unimpressed with regarding DirecTV is the On-Demand. For one should be more HD, I was really surprised when I first started checking it out. I have used it some to catch up on some series like Homeland, before signing up the only premium I had on cable was HBO. But it sucks...

    Trying to sign up for Directv... Is it always this hard?

    I had no problems...but I did keep getting an automated call asking me to confirm my appointment, but it would just hang up on me whenever I hit "1" to confirm. I figured it wasn't working because you'd think it would give you some sort of confirmation and not just hang up. Installer showed up...

    HR34 CE for the Weekend of 6.15

    Guys what can we expect from this? Does it mean it will be different from the features listed at the top? I haven't updated in a couple months due to moving etc. and just got my service going at my new place today. Are things running a lot better? Was very buggy and laggy there for awhile.

    HR34 not recording some shows, canceling series recordings on it's own

    My only major disappointment with DirecTV since I had it set up over two weeks ago is recording issues. I think I've had DVR service for 10 years or so going all the way back to ReplayTV and I've never had these recording issues until now. It doesn't seem to work like Dish or any cable provider...

    HR34 HD guide

    Unfortunately I haven't noticed any difference with the latest CE. Two CE's ago, the first I'd downloaded, seemed almost perfect. Seems like regression from my end at least.

    Wishlist

    I actually have been using PIP on my HR34 for NHL games. Hell of a playoff race going on and nice to keep an eye on more than one game. I'm sure I'll use it for college football as well.

    HR34 HD guide

    I was on the previous CE before it automatically updated me to national. If they were going to put one of them national it shoulda been the previous one. It was slightly sluggish for me but didn't notice any other bugginess. This national release is very sluggish and buggy though. It did miss...

    HR34 not recording some shows, canceling series recordings on it's own

    I just noticed mine didn't record Person of Interest either..it was new last night, right? It recorded Touch though. Until now the only problems I've had is it records TOO much, sometimes stuff that isn't first run.

    HR34 HD guide

    Blue guide was so slow it was almost unusable for me. So I did the CE...that wasn't perfect but pretty fast and almost bug free from what I could tell. Now this national release, it's bad. But still faster than the blue guide was for me.

    HR 34 Worth the Upgrade?

    HR34 also has picture in picture if that interests you. I've used it occasionally for sports.

    Does DirecTV have an "answer" to the Hopper?

    I'm in a house with two people and it's still nice to have. Sometimes I'll just go through the guide looking for interesting things to record, especially with all the movie channels since I'm in the "3 months free" for all the premiums. Nice to not really have to worry about whether I'll be a be...

    HR34 Software Release 3/21/12 v.0547

    I've noticed the guide being slower and sometimes you scroll and everything looks jumbled like part of the previous screen is superimposed, also Rotten Tomatoes ratings not showing for me. I have it off because of this, but on the CE if you have the scrolling animation on it isn't right, same...

    I "moved" about 1 year ago and my account is now referred to Directv fraud department.

    Yeah, make up an address between two other addresses... ;)

    HR34 Software Release 3/21/12 v.0547

    I also just checked and I have this version, says updated at 5:38am this morning...and I had the CE version.. Checked because I noticed it being buggy/slower and the Rotten Tomato ratings weren't there, and 'MyDirecTV' was working for the first time. So I knew something was different.

    HR34 Software Release 3/21/12 v.0547

    Figured. I'll just wait awhile or until I happen to see if it's been rolled out in my area.

    HR34 Software Release 3/21/12 v.0547

    Nice I just posted and it didn't show up. I'll try a shorter one this time. If you're already on a CE release, and decide to go back to national you have no idea if the HD guide has been rolled out to you, right?

    HR34 CE for the first Weekend of Spring

    Does that to me somtimes on the previous one. Sometimes when it's paused it starts back up on it's own. Weird, I checked to see if there'd be one this past weekend and didn't see anything. Just now noticed this thread. Don't have many issues with the one I have though.

    Does DirecTV have an "answer" to the Hopper?

    Just doesn't sound appealing to me I guess. There might be times I'll have four things recording and I want to watch something live. Sometimes all four might be non-network, sometimes everything might be network, sometimes a mix..Why wouldn't they have just made something with a lot of tuners...

    Does DirecTV have an "answer" to the Hopper?

    I don't really understand the point of it recording all primetime network shows(if I'm understanding correctly). Why is that better than us just recording the ones we want on those channels? The thought of three tuners sucks once you have experienced an HR34.
