I want to see what recording I have, see if they have been watched, and be able to delete the recordings from my computer. I was able to do so when I was with Dish, but I cannot figure out how to do the same thing on DirectTV. Am I missing something or is it just not possible? I am down to 7% on...

So I finally was able to sit down last night at 8pm to watch some Olympics for the first time. I first turn on channel 103 to watch some in 3D even though I know it will be extra delayed, but I find there is no 3D coverage from 6:30pm to 2am, what up with that? So I turn on regular NBC and the...

Just a clarification, I have not rebooted the system and as far as I know it has not locked up. Maybe I need to reboot it, I will try that tonight.

Yes, I have the HR34 and I followed these instructions: "To enable the 30 second skip go to the smart search function. Then enter 30SKIP and hit the red button for keyword search and then select ALL for the category. You'll get a message saying there are no matching programs but the 30 skip has...

I keep turning on the 30sec skip feature using the directions I found here on the forum, but for some reason it keeps reverting back to the slip function. It only seems to hold for a few days. I am not doing any manual updates or anything. Is this normal? Anyway to get it to stick? Thank you...

I see that DirectTV is promoting DirectTV everywhere saying "With DIRECTV, you can watch the same movies and shows anywhere—on your TV, computer, tablet, or cell phone." but I cannot figure out how to watch anything on my iPad or iPhone. I click on the various links and they talk about watching...

I have Time Warner Road Runner Turbo which says "up to 15 Mbps".

Just started as a DirectTV customer with a HR34-700 (plus a H25-500 & H23-600) and found the many VOD channels, but I cannot actually watch them on demand. It seems that I have to record them first before I can watch them, is this correct or am I missing something. I did start recording one and...

I am also experiencing this. I just had my system installed on Sun and Tuesday (10.5 hrs altogether for the installer to figure it out) I seem to have a H25, a H23, and a HR34. I do not know how they are interconnected. It seems the thing that took so long was getting the Whole Hose network...

I too recently purchased a 3D TV and have been amazed with it. I keep hearing how the TV manufacturers have been disappointed with 3D TV adoption rates, but I think that they partially have themselves to blame. Most 3D TV use active 3D glasses and do not come with any glasses. After purchasing a...

A couple of questions: How are these installed? I think I read they work over Cat 5/6, so do I need to install the cable or will they do it, and if so, how much for the install? Will the Hopper read all the recorded items I have on my external HD I currently have attached to my 722?

So where is the actual recap of the first part? All I see here is the recap what was cut off. Thanks for the hard work.

Do a manual timer for each event.

A friend has an older rear projection HDTV (I don't know specifics) that looks to me that the light guns are not aligned properly. The picture looks fuzzy and I think I can even see edges of different colors. Would a calibrator be able to fix this issue? I listened to the THX guy on the podcast...

Hi, Are there instructions on how to setup TV2 to another TV for my 722? What I am looking for is what kind of connections I need and if I can do it myself or do I need Dish to come out to do it? I did a Google search, but did not find anything (my search terms maybe bad) I also poked...
