Does anyone else here actually afraid to rewind, instant-replay, or fast-forward in a show on the Genie client because there's a great chance that the system will lock up? And the only way to get the client to work again is to switch to a different channel and then switch back? Is this...

Hey guys, ok, starting to find a lot of little annoyances with the Genie DVR and the Genie Clients... Question #1: Can I turn off the screensaver (with the DirecTV logo)? And I don't get when it comes on. I like to leave the TV on sometimes for the dog, and also to make it look like...

Can someone please explain this to me? I have the Genie DVR. I have 3 client boxes. I was watching live TV on one of the clients, with the other clients and DVR "off". But the client told me it had to change the channel in a few minutes to record a show, even though at that moment, I only...

Hi all, I have the Genie DVR (HR34?), and I was wondering if there's a way to have the power save/auto shutoff extended from the 4 hours to something higher. I love having that feature because frequently I forget to shut off the DVR, but sometimes I also leave the TV on for my dog while I'm...

I recently got DirecTV installed and just wanted to express how happy I am to have switched (from Dish). The Genie system is awesome, besides working very well, I love the interface which is so much prettier than Dish's. A cosmetic thing, I know, but I always felt using Dish's DVR was very much...

Hi everyone, DirecTV is coming out tomorrow afternoon to install a Genie system. I want to ask you folks to see if you know the answer to this. Most of my house is prewired. I paid a company a lot of money to do it for me. I have CAT5e and RG6 cables from various rooms running into a...

Hi all, I'm planning on switching over to directv and it looks like best buy is offering a $150 gift card for signing up (or $200 at Costco). Does anyone know if I would also be able to add refer a friend discount ($10 for 10 months for me and my brother referring me) or is it pretty much one...

Hi everyone... I'm hoping someone could help shed some light on this once and for all. I have a 722k and a 922, and they both periodically would have this issue where the video would stutter for a second or two. When this happens, the video would pixellate and pause, the audio will either...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone might have some idea of what might be going on, because Dish Tech Support don't know, and I've already replaced my old 922 with a new one. So my situation is this: Periodically, perhaps once every 3 days or so, I will find that my 922 is stuck. By that, I...

Sorry if this has been posted (I couldn't find it)... I was just informed that Dish may drop E! and Style on 1/1/11. E! HD was pretty much one of the two channels (the other being BBC America HD) that made me switch to Dish... How likely do you guys think this is going to happen?

I've been seeing so many threads here about audio sync issues. I had Dish for a few years, then I left them when I moved to a FiOS service area, and after about a year with FiOS, I'm back with Dish. One thing I had forgotten about Dish was audio sync issues that pop up from time to time. I...

Can someone tell me if I understand this right? On my 622, I have shows by default start recording early by 2 minutes, and ending late 2 minutes. If starting early or ending late was going to cause a conflict (like I'm recording a 30-minute show at 7:30 and at 8:00), then it doesn't start...

I'm pleasantly surprised... and I believe giving people credit where credit is due, so here's my post. I switched from Verizon FIOS to Dish Network a couple of weeks ago (I'll be making a post comparing the two at a later date). I ordered a 922 and a 722. I called Claude at the Dish Store...

So I'm getting the hang of the 922 and it's pretty nice... a couple of quirks here and there... but the biggest issue I've been having is my 922 doesn't always log on to the Dish website for me to control/remote view... The 922 is online, I can ping it from my local network. The info banner...

Hi... I can't figure this out... I have a 622 running in single mode. When I turn on the TV I see the standby message. Then I press select or power to, and the screen goes blank, and no audio. I can hit pause, rewind, live TV, and the screen will show the little icons for these buttons...

Hi everyone... Does anyone know how smart the timers are on VIP 622 and VIP 922? I'm assuming that they use the same methods for determining priorities and all, but if there are differences between the 622 and 922, please let me know... So here's a situation... Let's say I have these shows...

Hi all, my install date is tomorrow... I'm in Los Angeles so I'm guessing I'm going to get a 1000.2. As I understand it, it's got 3 outputs. I'm getting installed for 2 DVRs. But my situation is this... The dish is going to be (or at least that's the plan) mounted on the roof of the...

Hi again everyone, I just placed an order yesterday online direct with Dish Network. Then I discovered 3 things... 1. Because I used to be with Dish Network and going back to them, they wouldn't let me order through the website. I talked to a CSR online and was able to complete my order...

Hi everyone, when Dish comes out to install, what parts such as switches, diplexers, and so forth are included, and what do I need to purchase? What I want to do is precisely illustrated in Dish's DP Plus Distribution Example #11...

Hi everyone, I'm planning on switching back to Dish Network but since the last time I was with them, I've moved to a new house and want to have two DVRs now... so I'm wondering if someone can help me with my scenario here... I have two rooms that I would like to have DVRs. Both rooms have...
