I know the lengths of the runs but I worry about putting repeaters in a enviroment like that. The HDMI-CAT5 adapters are sold out, everywhere...I'm looking...

I run my own business doing mostly network/server infrastructure and web/application developement along with day to day support. We've had a few customers here and there inquire about TV's and the convergence of media and computers is coming if its not already here. I've done small setups...

Another thing...I finally said give me to internet tech support but the guy insisted I could order via him. 20 minutes later he was still asking me what time and channel I wanted.

No conflicts, its set static to an IP way out of any other device. I have 2 computers, 2 laptops, a PS3, print server, networked printer and an IPTV box. They all work fine. The HR21 downloaded the movie via broadband and all the other broadband stuff works fine. If it was an IP conflict it...

We never use PPV or anything like that. Today we decided to use the VOD to get Dewey Cox on HD. We downloaded the movie over night. Tonight we go to watch it and it says it cannot connect to the internet. Well the box see's my Twonky server so I know the network is working. I don't...

I have about had it with the HR21....this morning again while watching the Turkish Grand Prix which we record about an hour of and then start watching when skipping through commercials it went right to the end of the recording! Its done this 5 times now, 3 times with Formula 1 racing, once...

Lack of conveinance + DRM = Piracy. They just don't get it. Everytime they do stuff like this I start to care less where I get my content from, or if I pay for it or not.

Mine froze a few times and what really pissed me off was it jumped to the end of a recording. We were watching the F1 race and I hit skip ahead 3 times and it skipped right to the end, nearly 90 minutes forward to see Kimi doing the interview as the winner. :mad:

On our old E* SD DVR we had years ago we used to use that procedure to watch two shows at once. Thanks for the tip on the 30 second thing, I'll check it out.

Well I had D* installed and my E* setup taken out. Initial reaction...the 622 is a far superior DVR to the HR21. After I got into it a bit more however there are some things that both do better than the others. Ease of use and speed goes to the 622. Flipping pages in the guide is instant...

Well last night I watched BSG in SD on my 47" LCD and it looked like crap. Tomorrow however I'll record the HD version of of SciFiHD and DirecTV. Last year we still had a SD TV in the bedroom and it was tolerable to watch. Trying to watch last nights episode on a LCD was horrible. They...

Did they check everything? The guy wasn't motivated enough to make sure you had a properly working box and gave you a BS excuse as to why he didn't want to go get another, he obviously did a poor job of pointing your dish....I would bet this wiring and crimping skills might not have been upto...

Well we'll find out on Saturday and see. Install is scheduled for that morning.

I called back and clarified my question. The way I asked it they might have thought I wanted to watch 2 programs on 2 TV's....but I was clear. Well I'm out of time and if the majority here has it working, on HR21's, not HR20's, then I'll give it a shot. I have to order tomorrow morning to...

Well this is directly from Plasma Concepts. They said they wanted to hook up 2 HDTV's in their showroom to the same DVR and it worked until HDMI was plugged in. I would love to switch but worry about this issue coming up.

I called and talked to both DirecTV and Plasma Concepts. They both told me that the HR21 will NOT output component if HDMI is plugged in. They have tested it and there is no way to do it. I have 2 HD TV's and want to hook up a single HR21 to both TV's. I currently have a Dish 622 and...

Well now that you say the 21 is black, then $50 for OTA is worth it. The lone thing I dont' like about my 622 is its silver.

Can I record two shows and watch another recording that is not one of the two I am recording? I'll call and make sure I get a HR20...I'm not crazy about spending an extra $50 if I can avoid it. Is there an advantage to the HR21 that outweighs the OTA issue?

They told me OTA was supported....so it is not at all? They also told me there were 2 HDMI ports on the receiver...that part doesn't matter to me since my receiver only has 2 HDMI's as it sits now and one is used for my DVD player and the other for my PS3. I planned on swapping those around...

I love impulse decisions :) I have been very happy with Dish and their excellent DVR. However in the end D* ended up being $24 a month cheaper for the 12 months and then $6.00 a month cheaper for the remainder. I get SciFi HD and Speed HD which are two of our biggest channels we watch. I'm...

The Voom channels just are not worth it IMO as far as keeping me as a customer. Now for the $5 a month they are a good deal if you like the Monsters/Kung Fu stuff. Some of the foreign films are good to catch once in a while but I watch maybe 5-6 of them the entire year. Rave is...

If both are active thats good enough. We do not want a second reciever since we rarely watch anything live. Almost everything we watch is recorded. The 50 hours that D* quotes for HD programming recording time, is that at MPG2 or 4? Price wise its for sure cheaper than Dish currently...

I'm interested in this too. A lack of SpeedHD and SciFiHD are getting to be an issue for me. However I've always felt that E*'s PQ was better than D* and I never cared for their poor advertising tactics regarding HD. The only thing that has kept me with Dish is the 622. Best DVR bar...

Good point...I just checked and nothing in the junk folder although I delete it every few days. PM Sent.

I signed up a long time ago, first or second day I think they offered it. I picked it up off a Euro IT news website. I PM'd Estefano so hopefully I'll hear something. Oh and the whole house is wired with Cat 6 :)
