    "Mirror" for Kitchen HDTV

    I have a HR-21-700 already hooked up in my family room and I'm using the component output from the receiver. We got a new 20" HDTV for the kitchen...I can easily run a cable from the family room reciever via a crawl space and a wall plug. Can I use one of the HDMI outputs from the receiver to...

    Versus deal close????

    I hope they resolve it soon. Just a question...if you subscribe to Center Ice, will you be able to watch playoff games even if they're broadcast on Versus? I know that TSN or CBC also broadcast them so would we be able to watch on their feed via Center Ice?

    FREE 72 Local Swap?

    Any body have any idea what this letter I received is? It mentions that my locals may not be view on my existing equipment if I dont call and do this "swap". I have 2 D12's, HR-21 and H-21. I have the Slim-Line 5 dish. Do I lose locals if I do nothing?

    Remote Reaction SOOO Slow!

    Am I the only one that has noticed a major delay with the remotes? I mean the reaction time was always delayed but it seems it's gotten much worse. Is there any thing I can do? I have HD DVR-HR-21-700, HD-H-21-100 and 2 D-12's. Yes, all of them have terrible delays when punching in numbers and...

    PIP w/Directv?

    I have an HR-21-700. I also have a picture-in-picture feature in my TV. Is there any way to use the PIP with my D* system? In other words, can I watch 2 shows at once in PIP mode? I thought these had a "dual" receiver or is that just for the DVR?

    Lookin to Buy HD Receiver

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean by "trolling"...or why you used "buy"...but yes, I do understand the whole lease thing. I was just checking to see if anyone had any thoughts were I could pick one up cheaper than the $99 or so I've seen.

    HDMI - DVI Cable

    I just had a HR-21 installed and I see it has HDMI port. My HDTV only has a DVI input (2003). I saw a cable that is HDMI on one end and DVI on the other. Should I use this instead of the componenet video cables - will it affect my HDTV from the HR-21? I know I still need the audio jacks but...

    Half my HD channels not coming in... help!

    I had the same EXACT problem. I fixed myself - with the help of this forum! - On your satellite set-up, if you have the Slimline dish - choose the 5-LNB satellite option. It worked for me - good luck and let us know.

    Install Issue

    Well here's the update and it's not good. Installer was here for 3 hours. Replaced HR21, AM21, switches an realigned dish with some hand held gizmo. Still no "old" HD channels. My house was built in 1998 and was pre-wired for E* - Dish 500. Now the installer thinks (from what he's being...

    Install Issue

    Well he's still at my house. I saw him select the Slimline 3 LNB option on the setup menu. He was on the phone with D* and now he's replacing a "switch"? Or now they've even talked about sending a new HR-21. Any more ideas?
