Reboots when recording This happens often for me too. My other reboot situation is playing back a currently recording HD show from the beginning before the recording is finalized = crash. Also reboots when changing HD channels while watching one that's recording. I'm at 24 reboots...

My 622 arrived 4 days after the install date, and the next is a full week away. I swapped out the 622 from the 942 and had no trouble activating it through CS. I did have to call back a 2nd time to get the "no phone line" window to go away, but everything works fine, with the exception of sat...

Bait And Switch I went over it meticulously w/ the CSR when I swapped the 942 for the 622... "I'll get all of my current channels plus the new MPEG-4 HD beams for X difference in monthly charge"... and now I dont get either the NG(sd) or NG(hd) without an additional $10 to my bill. 'I'm sorry...

E* credit for missed install Sorry to double post, but I forgot to mention that after complaining to E* about my unit not arriving by the install date, they gave me 1 month credit on my bill (~$100).

No 622 on install date Same thing happened to me. The guy showed up 8 days after the order but my box took 2 weeks t arrive and the new install date is a week after that. The installer said that they had several 622's sitting at the warehouse but that they couldn't get because one could be...

I hate the quality of SD at 1080i on my 942 compared to my old D* UltimateTV box upscaled by my HDTV. Every time I've complained about this issue, it gets dismissed on these forums, but my SD content looks like analog cable (or a low band internet stream) on my 942, so I have a tendency to...

Similar for me With my receiver (Yamaha RX-Z1) the AC3 feed is definately much lower than the PCM. When it switches from AC3 to PCM it nearly blows my mains if the volume is at a moderate level. I only have an input trim which universally effects all source types for the input (analog, AC3...

942 very mixed opinion Ok- I love the 942 for one reason.. it's an HD DVR. My DVR experience started with the D* UltimateTV (microsoft/RCA) box. I just can't express the joy that that box provided. Three years and NEVER one single issue. Not one. Blindly downloaded quality program info &...

L227 scales Forgot to mention that the box is doing scaling on HD sources as if it was SD (i.e. it will clip 16:9 HD material with gray bars, stretch the 4:3 portion to 16:9, etc). I guess this is good when watching 4:3 stuff from HBO-HD, so a new feature I guess. Now I just want my PBS-HD...

L227 bugs As of tonight, my system has rebooted 4 times, downloaded the guide info 3 times, and keeps hanging randomly on live feeds (HDNM). Hung once on DVR too. I ran through the check swithch 3 times before it was a go on both tuners, but now its running OK (uptime 30 mins). I've not had...

Thanks, super walk-around Should have known that it was in this vein as I just began experiencing this BS today and used the PIP feature for the first time in a while just before the issue popped up. I'm getting totally fed up with the arcane solutions to the MANY issues with the 942. I'm...

Same issues for 2 months, plus 5.1 failure this week My 942 has been plagued by this same prob, but I have legacy LNB's, which is what I've blamed it on. Guess it is LNB independent. They've sent a tech out 5 times now (called 24 times so far), and each time "Larry The Cable Guy" blows off the...
