    HR21-700 WD estata to esata?

    I have a HR21-700 and am adding a WD My Book 1TB drive without any luck. The cable is Dynex estata. Is the connection on the receiver estata or sata because it doesn't seem to go in all the way. Oh yes, the receiver won't recognize the hard drive. What hard drive works with a HR21-700?

    Apple Airport Help

    I just changed to an Apple Airport wireless router and my HR-21 can't see it. I went to the advance setup but have no idea what to input. It worked fine with my Linksys but the wife has two Mac's and they didn't work well with the Linksys. D* says they only help if I buy a Powerline device...

    Where's HBO On Demand

    Recording Failure

    I've had D* for about a month. For the second time one of my HR21 receivers has failed to record for a preset tv series. It shows that the program is recorded but when I play it all I get is a white picture. Luckily my dvr in the kitchen recorded each of the programs. Is this common?

    Locals in HD at 61.5

    I'm in Atlanta and due to some trees can't see the 129 satellite. I can see the 61.5 satellite and get all HD channels except the locals. Will E* ever have the Atlanta locals in HD on the 61.5 satellite. Also, what's the D* satellite for Atlanta locals in HD.

    HR20 With 2nd TV

    I see the HR20 doesn't have coax output for a 2nd TV. Is there a converter for component signals to change them to coax for a run to my bedroom TV?

    HD with Basic Cable????

    I have D* with a VIP622 however the 61.5 sat is toooo low for me to see and I've put up the biggest over the air antenna to get the local networks in HD. The outside antenna reception is spotted and sometimes very annoying. Can I order basic cable from Comcast and connect it to the 622 for...
