    Cabling, what would you do for long runs

    I run my own business doing mostly network/server infrastructure and web/application developement along with day to day support. We've had a few customers here and there inquire about TV's and the convergence of media and computers is coming if its not already here. I've done small setups...

    VOD - CSR totally confused

    Another thing...I finally said give me to internet tech support but the guy insisted I could order via him. 20 minutes later he was still asking me what time and channel I wanted.

    VOD - CSR totally confused

    No conflicts, its set static to an IP way out of any other device. I have 2 computers, 2 laptops, a PS3, print server, networked printer and an IPTV box. They all work fine. The HR21 downloaded the movie via broadband and all the other broadband stuff works fine. If it was an IP conflict it...

    VOD - CSR totally confused

    We never use PPV or anything like that. Today we decided to use the VOD to get Dewey Cox on HD. We downloaded the movie over night. Tonight we go to watch it and it says it cannot connect to the internet. Well the box see's my Twonky server so I know the network is working. I don't...

    D*RM is here for all to feast on

    Lack of conveinance + DRM = Piracy. They just don't get it. Everytime they do stuff like this I start to care less where I get my content from, or if I pay for it or not.

    Both HR-21's froze tonight

    Mine froze a few times and what really pissed me off was it jumped to the end of a recording. We were watching the F1 race and I hit skip ahead 3 times and it skipped right to the end, nearly 90 minutes forward to see Kimi doing the interview as the winner. :mad:

    Installed yesterday - both outputs work on HR21

    On our old E* SD DVR we had years ago we used to use that procedure to watch two shows at once. Thanks for the tip on the 30 second thing, I'll check it out.

    Installed yesterday - both outputs work on HR21

    Well I had D* installed and my E* setup taken out. Initial reaction...the 622 is a far superior DVR to the HR21. After I got into it a bit more however there are some things that both do better than the others. Ease of use and speed goes to the 622. Flipping pages in the guide is instant...

    There'll be no joy on Galactica, the mighty Charlie has struck out!

    Well last night I watched BSG in SD on my 47" LCD and it looked like crap. Tomorrow however I'll record the HD version of of SciFiHD and DirecTV. Last year we still had a SD TV in the bedroom and it was tolerable to watch. Trying to watch last nights episode on a LCD was horrible. They...

    HR-21 Problems

    Did they check everything? The guy wasn't motivated enough to make sure you had a properly working box and gave you a BS excuse as to why he didn't want to go get another, he obviously did a poor job of pointing your dish....I would bet this wiring and crimping skills might not have been upto...

    Need fast answer - 2 HDTV's, 1 HR21

    I called back and clarified my question. The way I asked it they might have thought I wanted to watch 2 programs on 2 TV's....but I was clear. Well I'm out of time and if the majority here has it working, on HR21's, not HR20's, then I'll give it a shot. I have to order tomorrow morning to...

    Need fast answer - 2 HDTV's, 1 HR21

    Well this is directly from Plasma Concepts. They said they wanted to hook up 2 HDTV's in their showroom to the same DVR and it worked until HDMI was plugged in. I would love to switch but worry about this issue coming up.
