Downloaded the new DirecTV iPad app - very nice since it now includes both live streaming and recorded shows (from the Dvr Playlist). It uses GenieGo. I've run into some problems where the DirecTV app gives a message that it can't stream a Playlist recording "at this time" - I checked Tech...

Thanks, very helpful. I agree with your suggestion about a tech install, otherwise any problem that occurs would be my fault. Question - what are my options for the tv I have in the kitchen, which is somehow linked with the H24 in the basement. Would I have to pay for another Genie client to...

I have had "D" for about 2 1/2 years, so should be eligible for an upgrade if I do another 2 yr contract. I currently have: HR24 (1) H24 (2) 4 tvs in different rooms (1 is linked to an H24 in another room) Swim - 4 port Decca box/ Whole home DVR using my DSL/ wireless network. I only have 1...

Thanks - why do you suggest I replace an H24, rather then the HR-24? What is the Genie Go do?

Anyone know how this 2 year upgrade program work when you have the base level (now $7.99) protection plan? I currently have 1 HR24-200 and 2 H24-200's. Interested in finding out what add'l $$ is for upgrading to the Genie system Thanks,

Install scheduled for this afternoon - do you suggest I insist the installer pull new cables to all receivers, replacing the coax that is already there,but who knows how old it is? Thanks

I assume from the above, that a D tv system doesn't need access to an internet connection for any type of downloads form D tv?

Requesting a clarification - I assume you are suggesting 2 HD/DVRs because if you only get 1, the second HD tv can only watch live tv or watch whatever tv1 (w/ attached HD/DVR) is watching/ recording? Is this true even if you get MRV?

I am considering a move from E* to Dtv, and wanted to know if anyone is aware of problems with using DSL (2 - 3mb/s) to support both MRV and cinema plus downloads. As I read info on this forum, Dtv uses the home internet to support MRV as well as HD movie downloads (seems an odd way to do it).

Stonecold & others, Would appreciate your input - I've been a Dish customer (bundle w/AT&T) for 3+ years and been generally satisfied. I just bought a 3D tv and am considering Direct Tv & Comcast since Dish wants $200 plus a 2 year contract to upgrade to vip922 to get full 1080p & 3D using hdmi...

So, is Dish adding 3D channels any time soon?

Thanks, is it true that I need the 922 to enable 3D dish movies?

I need to upgrade from 622 to 922, anyone "know" if a newer version of he 922 is on the way or should I just get the currently available one ($200 seems like a lot!!). Thanks,

Panasonic TH-42PX600U Very interesting! Do you know how to find out what verison of firmware is currently loaded in the Pan tv? What is your source for updated firmware? Using the settings referenced above, I don't have the "clay face" problem that I have seen on some demo units at retailers...

I have the 42PX600U and love it. I looked at lots of reviews and think this HD set is the price/performance leader. I found that the following settings online will get you the best picture quality for most sources (SD or HD): Panasonic TH-42PX60U Optimal Picture Settings (ISF Calibration)...
