This exactly! DTV would be well served to add "New" to the 1st run of shows and then have the DVR's base their recording decisions based off of that tag.

For us, Game of Thrones (which we set to record 1st run) will record tomorrow night, not tonight. Possibly it's a DTV programming issue to where it's not indicating that a show is new so the hr34 skips it? We have been missing several shows lately now that I think about it, and I just don't...

I suppose I should qualify every PQ statement I make with the following disclaimer: "This pertains to my eyeballs, in my living room, on my 73" HDTV, with my HDMI cables attached to all devices." In other words, In my situation, the PQ on D* is much, much better than E* was. Very noticeable...

D* PQ is 4x better than on E*

All of the issues I have with D* are software related. And I have several. E* rarely gave any issues as far as software is concerned, and they were smart enough to make it so that an external hard drive (software unlock) was just that, EXTERNAL and used for ADDITIONAL storage. Isn't it D*...

I must admit, this confuses me.

I have the HR34 and one H25. I get the Try Again issue when trying to watch stuff on the H25 ALL THE TIME! I have to reset the H25, which then means I have to change the sort order of the recorded items to A-Z again, and I have to search "30skip" again. It's quite annoying. Also, the HR34...

Another concern that I have - is buying a 2Tb hard drive, and then D* updating firmware or whatever and then 3Tb or larger drives become compatible. Sidebar - it also makes ZERO sense to have the external drive kill off the internal drive. On my Dish ViP722 - the external hard drive was...

$400?! LOL. See, that's what I don't understand. We have only had the DVR for 3 months or so. I don't know how to determine how many hours of recordings we have on there. But it doesn't seem like too terribly much.

Okay - finally found the manual at least : DIRECTV DIRECTV Receiver Manuals

I can't even locate a manual for the HR34 and there isn't one in the box that it came in. What it's looking like, is I need to buy an internal 2 Tb Sata drive such as Amazon.com: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST2000DL003: Electronics and then...

So the interface going out of the drive that connects to the HR34 needs to be Esata? In that case, I can't find a single Seagate drive that isn't USB 2.0 or 3.0 External Storage Solutions | Seagate

Okay, so we are running through the storage provided by the internal hdd in the HR34 pretty quickly. We are at 30% free space right now and most tv series are just coming back online from the Christmas break off season. So it's just going to get filled up. I would like to get an external hard...

Didn't John Kerry get his ass kicked recently? Black eyes and everything.

Is that going to be changed at any point? Seems silly to have the capability of using an external drive, but at the expense of the internal drive! Right now the only thing that makes sense is a 2Tb external drive, and eSata drives that size are expensive.

I had the problem prior to the gui update. Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

The issue I get (happening right now again) is when I try to start a recording from the HR34 on the H25, it says "We are having trouble accessing this program, would you like to try again?" The options are to try again or cancel. I end up having to pull the power cord from the H25.... Getting...

What's your signal strength?

I have one H25 on the HD gui (like it) and the HR34. I routinely get an error when trying to play recorded programs from the HR34 on the H25. Started before the HD gui upgrade. I usually have to pull the power on the H25 to get it working again. Had D* for just under 2 weeks.

I didn't know about this, but I did notice a huge improvement in PQ the second the installer got the DVR displaying a channel when I had my initial D* install a couple weeks back. Night and day difference actually. And this comment appears to explain that. I definitely prefer quality over...

Charper1 - it was the ISP connection causing the skipping issues. Only 5 minutes into the 1st episode that I DL'd again, and it hasn't skipped a beat. Thanks for the idea.

The ISP fixed the latency issues already and I am getting nearly 40Mbps down. I will try episode 1 again and see if the skipping problem is fixed.

I wasn't checking my connection quality at all until you mentioned it ;) Turns out, my call to the ISP was helpful in multiple ways. First of all, there is an "outage affecting most of your state" - so that explains the latency and poor DL speed issues. And until that is fully resolved, I...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tested it a dozen times today on Pingtest.net and not a single packet lost. I am, however, about to contact my ISP about the way too high ICMP response times. Short story - It doesn't appear to be dropping packets, which would enable a steady stream on the VOD...

I searched for Dexter and found all episodes of Season 6 on VOD, surprisingly. Set them up to Record/Download. Go to watch episode 1 - it kept skipping several minutes and then I couldn't skip back and watch the missed content. Thought maybe it was a bad download, so watched a separately...
