    Just a basic UPS suggestion?

    Okay, well summer is about to hit and in my area we often get little power blips, at least thats what I call em. Basically the power goes out or flickers just enough to cause my HR-22 to reboot, the TV and amp half the time don't even seem to go off at all. Anyway I keep saying I'm going to get...

    245 TNTHD gone grey in my guide

    Just curious if somethings up. I was going thru the guide and 245 (TNTHD) is dulled out. If I select it the channel comes in fine, not that I watch it much but thought I'd ask. Or is it just me, hehe.

    So is there any official word on upcoming channels?

    I tried to search the forum but wasn't having much luck finding any links to official news on upcoming channels. Found a lot talking about channels moving or going all mp4 but nothing on projected channels or dates. Does anyone have such links?

    We had a cpl weeks worth of stuff recorded on our old HR-20.

    Alternative to the HR-20's antenna in for HR-22

    Okay one other question concerning the HR-22 I was given as a replacement for my troublesome HR-20. The HR-20 had an antenna in so I could actually use the HR-20 to tune into local HD channels that DTV doesn't offer and record them even using the DVR. Is there a unit/item I can get for the...

However very fustraiting to have 30hrs of recordings I...
