JD- I'd personally run cat5e cable to the HD DVR's location Can you explain further for a non-techy

What might i ask is Hardwired?

I have my house on a Netgear Router for our laptops and want to hook-up two HDDVR's so I can use On-Demand. The signal in the upstairs bedroom is pretty weak. Should I pass on the wireless box and install the plug in the wall units instead? My concern is that if I use the plug in units, is my 16...

That could be it. I wonder how you figure out which one's are??

Not sure what you mean. I've never had Internet hooked up downstairs and have had no problem getting PPV. I'm wondering if Direct is now requiring Internet hook-up to get PPV's and On-Demand? Thats what Customer Service impyed

I know I have to be connected to the internet to have On-Demand but must I be hooked up to internet just to purchase a movie. We watched a movie on her Xmas HDDVR back in December without any problem but yesterday she tried to watch "Yes Man" and it wouldn't play. Called Custoner Service and...

One last question. I think I'm looking at one of the two cables coming into the room as a left over from Comcast. Would the basic Direct DVR allow you to record one channel and watch another on just one cable cord from the satelitte?? Is it HD that requires two cables for this feature to work???

I tried all the switching and rebooting to no avail. Sounds like if I want to Record one and watch another I'll have to call a Direct guy and get him out here. Thanks so much for your help

You are so right. Tuner #2 has no signal and says "Not Acquired" but it sure looks like I have an HD quality picture. Now what?

The set-up from the previous DVR looks like one cable what the Direct guy installed is marked DS6.07-02 but the other cable looks like a basic whit cable cord. Could that be the problem. Do I need to change out the basic cord that's being used on one of the hook-ups

I replaced a old Direct DVR with a new Direct HD DVR using a HDMI cable. I get HD fine on my new LCD TV but the problem is that I can't record one channel and watch another like I can on my downstairs Plasma set-up. It sure looks like I hooked everything up right. Any ideas????????????????

Thats why I love these sites. You saved me. I found it. Thank You! The only thing missing is that I drink (a lot) and used to sell Makers but I won"t hold that against you. Merry Christmas!!!

I Bought my wife a new HD-DVR for her new LCD TV to replace her basic Direct box and TV. I bought both at Bestbuy. I didn't get a new card for my HD-DVR. Can Bestbuy give me a HD Card for my new receiver or do I have to contact DirectTv???

I'm sorry to say I don't no this answer so be gentle. I had Comcast before last November when I saw the light and switched to Direct. (Best thing I ever did) My question revolves around the National mandate that Feb '09 you must be digital. My TV's are not ancient. A couple maybe 12 years old. I...

I've recently had an issue twice of no volume when I turn on my HDDVR. My entire system is only 5 months old. It did come on when I reset the DVR. Is there any advise out there???
