    Need Replacement DVR w/o tech coming out

    Is there any way I can get DTV to replace my failing DVR short of either breaking it myself or having the tech come out? It is an old HR21-700 and I've already switched to an external drive to keep it going. The issue is I take care of my dad, who is old and frail and doesn't like strangers at...

    DirecTV New HD channel additions and rumors

    I live in LA and for me, I was told it depended on the network. FOX and ABC granted me waivers to get the NYC channels, but NBC, CBS, and CW wouldn't.

    Apple tv

    I love my ATV. While I dont use the Apple streaming at all, I love the Netflix, and I've put my Apple TV files onto a 2TB drive, and I am slowly converting my DVD and BD library to the mp4 format that will play on the Apple. I am not an Apple person, but I truly love this device!

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Instructions to get MRV (whole home DVR) activated for ethernet

    They really want to push the SWIM/DECA system (figure they get $250 from everyone that takes it). It took me 3 calls to do it, and I told them flat out, I do not want somebody out to re-wire the house (if it ain't broke, why fix it?) and the eithernet connection works fine. I now have it...

    Has anyone else noticed on the HR20's that the MPEG4 bug seems to be worse with the new software? Mine is consantly having audio drops and screen errors, and I was told that it is an issue that the reciever looses the MPEG4 sync and has to 'reset'. Is this a problem across the HR20's or should...
