The other day I had a message that the DVR couldn't connect for 2 weeks. I've tried changing some of the options to no avail. The DVR is still detecting and recording new and upcoming shows. Any idea n whats wrong?

Lately, for some reason, my receiver -- R10 -- turns off by itself for several seconds. (Then, of course, its 5 - 10 min. before it "searches for satellites," or whatever, then gets back on.) It always happens roughly the same time -- 6:45 - 7:15 PM. Anyone know why, or if anything can be...

I woke up this morning and noticed the red (recording) light was on. (I have an R10.) I didn't recall having anything programmed for that time. When I turned the TV on, I found out it was recording the DVR something-or-other channel. The only thing on it was a huge DTV logo, along with...

I have a Tivo dvr. I know how to program the skip forward -- or whatever its called -- button, so that it jumps 30 seconds, rather than 15 minutes, but I'd like to know if I can reprogram the back button so it also goes back 30 seconds, rather than 8. (I think I'd prefer that rather than 30...

I thought I've read about some kind of a deal on some new DTV dvr receiver. Is this still going on? (I currently have the R10.) How does the new one compare to the R10? Can you use the rewind, record, etc. features on music channels with the new one (unlike the R10)? Is there any...

When I had DISH -- I switched because of the OLN fiasco -- they sent me this convieniant laminated card which had a chart showing the various packages and corresponding channels. Does DTV have anything like this? (I did print out one from some website, but since the print was fairy large, the...

I just signed up for DTV, with free DVR after rebate and 2/yr commitment. (I currently have DISH.) I was getting confused when they were explaining the packages to me. From what I understand, I'm getting 20 more channels, with the DVR fee waived for a few months, for $40/month, whereas if I...

Where I plan on buying it is basially my next question. Is any one of the many places I've come across on the net any better than the others? The offers all sound the same -- free dvr (tivo or the new one???) w/2 yr committment -- but I found one at Rapid Satellite that throws in a free...

On the "free installation" offer, I notice it says it includes one dish. But to get my local channels, I need a second dish. Does this mean I'd have to pay for the 2nd dish? If so, how much?
