This really does suck. I don't want this Pandora feature at all anymore. I just want my receiver to go back to working properly. Fix this crap DTV.

Yea...Mine has Pandora an everything (which sucks as it changes the HDTV resolution settings). It's very slow just like you said. I want an older version. This blows.

If I hit the "Menu" or the "Guide" button, it literally takes 7 or 8 seconds to come up.

I just received the latest software update (0x59e) to my HR24 and tried out the new Pandora Radio feature. However, ever since trying this out, the receiver seriously lags and is very slow to respond to commands. Anyone else noticing this problem? It's really annoying.

I'm a little Irked by the way DirecTV handles the releases of these new receivers. I really want one. I've been a DirecTV customer for over 10 years with a $225+/month bill every month. I called to ask about it and they said there is no way to get these until 2012 and the rebate offer is...

I would really like to see directv add AMC in HD... For the past 2-3 years, they have been saying that they are "in discussion with" (Cablevision owned) Rainbow Media about adding AMC-HD. How much discussion does this really require? It seems to me that they are in no hurry to add HD...

HR24 Final Verdict I know that threads like this are more useful if they get a final solution and verdict (rather than being left open without a final result). I also know that information like this helps the forum and content helps the site overall. So, I thought I would share my thoughts for...

Hey Guys, My contract is expired and I am thinking about calling DirecTV for an upgrade. I currently have two HR20's in my bedrooms and an HR21 in my living room. I am using the whole-home service and have they all connected to the Internet with wireless adapters (one hardwired to the router)...

I don;t get it. If I buy it from another source, that means that receiver is leased?

Can I buy an HR24 on ebay or amazon and activate it without renewing my contract?

Sorry...I had to do it...100 posts...:D

I need two more posts for a hundred...well..one now :yes

Hey Guys, How is everyone? I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a bit of lagging and sluggishness in the HR21's after the latest update. It seems like it takes a few second to run simple commands like pulling up menus, or changing channels. I wish I never received this update as I don't...

Yea you can...as long as they are the newer DVRs with the ethernet port and they are connected to your home network (eithernet to router or wireless adapter). Directv doesn't provide network support tho.

I got the free HD for two years and I didn't have to add auto-pay or do anything. I spoke with a supervisor after talking to some bonehead first. Once I got the supervisor on the line, she was happy to give me the two years of free HD. She said that the "Free HD for life promo" was actually only...
