Movies and programming that I don't already get on the channels I pay for. Are you getting something free besides that?

What is the deal with Direct TV On Demand? 3.99 for Karate kid? I thought there were supposed to be thousands of free movies but the only ones I see are from the channels I already have and could more easily record them than download from the internet. Everything else costs $$$. I was...

I am in the process of doing the same thing. I am wondering if you have 2 HDDVR's hooked up on whole house DVR do you actually see 4 things being recorded on each DVR's recording guide? (2 from the one you are looking at and 2 from the other HDDVR that is connected) Thanks, Jeff

I have an HR21 for our HDTV in the living room and a standard box for the SDTV in the bedroom and yes the standard box is faster. Prob about 2X faster changing channels. Jeff

Yes, 5 channel SWM in the basement. Both tuners work on the DVR. Jeff

I did get the slimline dish but installer said SWM built in is about 2 months away. I have 4 wires from dish to basement then 1 wire to HDDVR in living room and 1 wire to SD standard reciever in bedroom from there. Jeff

Got the new reciever today and installed it and no more clicking noise! Very happy so far with programming and PQ with Direct. Customer service so far has been flawless. Jeff

If I am not mistaken the hard drive is in operation all the time unless the unit is unplugged. Just rechecked the box - brown cardboard with direct tv emblem on the top left and HD DVR in big black on the bottom. No white box and no blue tape, although that is how the standard reciever...

It came in a standard brown cardboard box with "HD DVR" printed in black on the top of the box. My standard reciever came in a white box. By the way, the unit makes the clicking noise even with the power off. Jeff

Just called tech support and they are sending me another HDDVR which should be here in 2 days. Tech support thinks installer may have dropped it. So far other than the dvr noise we are very pleased. The install was very good and clean and he had to wire through a crawl space so we tipped him...

Continious clicking noise that is even audible with TV volume turned up. The clicking did stop a couple times during boot-up but ever since it is continous. I think I am going to call it in and see if I can get a replacement. Jeff

The record and playback functions work fine. But is it normal for the HR21-100 to make a fairly loud clicking noise while powered on? It is setting next to my 622 which is comparably silent. I mentioned it to the installer who said it was fan noise and I would get used to it. Sounds more...

Hey guys, I am getting Direct installed today and the installer tells me he is using Directs new technology requiring only 1 wire to the DVR instead of 2 as standard (for dual tuner install). He tells me this is his first install with this type setup. I will let you all know how it goes. Jeff

Is that the same as Choice Extra? Thanks, Jeff

Do RSN's come with the Plus HD DVR pack? I do not see them listed on the Direct TV site for this package. Thanks, Jeff
