    the new 9 favorite channel screen

    We really like it, on our HR21-700. So much so that I wish our H21-200 had it as well. Does anyone know if there are plans to add that to the H21-200 model? One other question - this December software update "appears" to have helped the frequent freezes tremendously, that use to drive us crazy...

    Woke up to "searching for satellite"

    We had the same exact thing happen to us on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. D tech was here today. The dish needed realignment. We've had D for about 15 years, 1 year with this HD dish and have never needed a realignment! Make sure that, if you have to wait a week, that you call them for a...

    splitting signal

    I'm not sure that this is the right forum for my question, but here goes. We have our main receiver (now an H21-700) that feed to a 5545 Channel Plus Channel modulator. We also have feeds from a Blue Ray player, and a VCR. This feeds to three TV's in the house. Out from the Channel modulator, we...

    frequent freezes

    among other problems that we've had with our HR21-700 since the software upgrade last month, we've noticed many more frequent freezes. They are short - only about 2 or 3 seconds but they happen about every 30 seconds or less. This is not happening in bad weather, either. Anyone else seeing this...

    channel jumping

    Thanks, I did check it out and there are others out there (at least one) who is also getting the 1296 channel surprise. I blocked all adult channels a few days ago and thought it was solved but this morning it was on 1296 again. This is only happening on the HR21-700, not my H21-200 which did...

    Sounds like a good idea. Because there are no children in the house, I've never had to do that. How do you do that?

    channel jumping

    After switching remotes, the TV did not change yesterday morning. But when we got home from work it was again on channel 1296, the Adult swim on demand channel. So it appears that this has something to do with the remotes. Is it possible to change the frequency for the RF? I had to buy these...

    HR21 Pixelation since 0290 Update

    Since the upgrade, I've had it on both our receivers. And the weather was not bad.

    channel jumping

    I took batteries out of only the upstairs remote (because where it sits in the kitchen, the downstairs one is not in range). The TV did not jump. So...tonight I will switch remotes and leave batteries in. I am testing to see if the downstairs remote will not cause the TV to switch channels.

    Okay, okay! Batteries will come out tonight, and I'll report in the morning!

    channel jumping

    Okay. I should explain. The house is big. The distance from the kitchen to the box upstairs is more than 100'. (aothough the RF remotes use to work much better a few years ago when we had Sony boxes) My spouse never touches the remotes because of not being technical! There is no one else that...

    channel jumping

    Kids are all grown up in houses of their own with their own kids. No one else lives there but us. Taking the batteries out of the two RF remotes seems a little extreme to me. I want to understand why this is happening.

    channel jumping

    Well it happened again tonight when we got home. And after thinking about it, it can't be a neighbor because we have three TV's hooked up to that one DVR, and two RF remotes. The one downstairs in the kitchen is on the side of the house where my neighbor lives. The remote won't work from the...

    channel jumping

    Yes, I also have RF enabled! So, what this thread is telling me is that whether lights are on or off, the recorder is still "on"...so why is it now jumping channels? (I don't believe that any of my neighbors have garage door openers.....)

    channel jumping

    For about a week now I've noticed that the channel has been jumping somewhere during the hours that the TV isn't being used. We keep the HD DVR on, and when we get home from work I usually just have to hit a button to get it off of screen saver. Well the screen saver is gone, and I have been...
