    TV1 TV2 Issue

    My friend has a 722. It is hooked up to two tvs. However tv2 has a rf remote which you know. The problem is when tv2 remote is used it also works tv1. We changed the address on both remotes and it did not fix the problem. We also changed the address on tv 2 several times. The receiver is...

    Blank screen

    I just reread my post and realized I did not make myself clear. The blank screen is like you loose the signal. Like turning the receiver on and the tv is also on. It goes black and the info 1920 x 1080 shows up in the upper right corner. Hope it isn't my receiver.

    Blank screen

    Two days ago I have been experiencing a blank screen for a few seconds. Will be watching live tv or a recorded program and the screen goes blank. Do not know why and hope the station or direct is doing it and not my equipment. Is anyone out there having the same problem? If not does anyone...

    How to and anything new with caller Id?

    Just got caller Id and looking through other posts I know there is a problem with Directv's caller id. I was wondering if there is anything new on a fix for this. Yes, a receiver reset will fix it for a few days or less but I still hope they care enough to fix their problem. Though I doubt...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    I feel your pain. Though I do not watch any Viacom programming, I have a habit every fall and mid season to really like programs that no one else does. So twice a year, with tears in my eyes I have to say goodbye to what I think are some really good shows. Knowing I will never again see a new...

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    I too have two HD DVRs and whole home. Paid the 99 dollars when I signed up a year an a half ago. Have not regretted it for a minute. I try not to watch anything live and had so many conflicts with recording shows that were on at the same time. Now I do not have that issue. Both receivers...

    HD Guide Top and Bottem Banners

    Sorry to bring this up, for this is a almost a dead horse, but I was next to last DMA to get the guide and I did not force it. Read somewhere that there is a complaint about the top and bottom banners taking up to much screen. I totally agree. FF and rewind hides a lot of picture and it is a...

    If the receiver is recording or I am watching a program and the new HD guide tries to download, will I lose the download or will it take over the receiver and do the update? Thanks

    Internet connection and Hd guide

    I know to use some features of the hr 24 you need an internet connection. If you do not have an internet connection will the new HD guide still work with standard features? Watched their promo and it shows a hook up with internet. So that is why I asked if needed to use or just something you...

    VOD QUESTION

    I guess I am not the sharpest tack in the box. I have never ordered any movies or programs. I do not know anything about them. Wondering if you always need an internet connection to get vod. I can only get Hughes for my high speed connection. Because of all their limitations it is a useless...

    Directv deals for existing customer?

    If you are married cancel the account in your name and put it in hers. She will be a new customer and get all the promo's for the first year. I have done this with dish before I came to direct. You will need different credit card or something different way of paying that your are using now.
