Hey all. So I come home this evening and I finally have x395 update on my HD DVR! Set it up, opted in and got all excited. So i proceed upstairs to my bedroom where I have my H21 (Regular HD receiver) and still have x434 software. Any idea when they will update these receivers to take...

So exactly how do I update my software on my receivers? I read over the pdf file listed in this thread and it appears I do not have the correct software. Can someone guide me step by step on how to force a software update? Thanks so much!

I'm assuming you have Directv since you posted this in a D* forum thread. You can purchase powerline adapters from directv's website. Simply login into your account and select "my equipment" Scroll down and you will see a link for networking, etc. I have purchased 3 of them and they all work...

My picture didn't look like that. Imagine the PIP option but much larger, but only filled 60-70% of the screen. Anyway, i watched the movie in 1080i and it was incredible. I watched an HD movie on some of the movie channels and broadcast and this was WAY better. It may not be full 1080p in my...

Yes, HDMI all the way. I have been on google researching and apparently this is a very common issue. Alot of people have been reporting the same issue. D* broadcasting 1080p on demand at 1080p @24 frames. Many tv's do not have the capability to show it only 1080p 60 frames. I guess my tv is...

Ok i got all excited after finally networking my HR22 HD DVR with my home network via powerline adapter. Download went smoothly, so I figured, cool I want to see how the 1080p looks. Downloaded G.I. Joe and pressed play. Screen only fills about 70 percent of the screen on my Panny 1080p...

I agree. :D

Congrats! You made a wise choice. I had my system installed last week and couldn't be happier. The PQ is outstanding and the technician was very knowledgeable. I also ordered my system online and you are correct, they make it so easy to order via their website. What equipment did you...

Doh!! The movie according to the guide started at 10am but I didn't start the recording till 10:30. Does that mean I missed the first 30 minutes of the movie? I pressed play and a notice came up and said are you sure you want to watch, price given was 5.99. At that point, i chose "no" and...

Oh. I thought those names were interchangeable. What is the difference?

Hey all. I have a question regarding the PPV, (Directv cinema) whatever you call it. I have read threads saying you MUST have a broadband ethernet connection to "download" the movie to your receiver. My question is, i just ordered G.I. Joe to record from the directv website to record to...

HAHA! Thanks! I am still impressed with D* and the PQ. HD DVR is running smoothly and have already downloaded the iphone D* app. THis thing is freaking awesome. Tested it a few times and viola! I was such a geek, i scheduled a program to record from my iphone just to watch the little...

Oh SNAP!

I am connecting a wireless bridge since my router and modem are up stairs in my office. Haven't hooked it up yet, so that's next on the list. Will my regular HD receiver still be able to access the on demand feature without having it connected to my network? What is the new feature that is...

Hello everyone! First time poster here, so I wanted to give my thoughts on my new install today of my D * system. My system install included the slimline dish, (1) HDDVR (1) HD receiver and (2) standard receivers. **SWM install** --First, the installer was very knowledgeable about the...
