    14-382

    Thanks Jimbo. I did order a new HDDVR to replace this one. Should I still go ahead and swap them out or just leave it alone and wait? I am supposed to receive my new one sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday.Thats the question I am having right now. I did get it back in 2007 when I rejoined D. So I...

    14-382

    Is it normal for my hr20-700 to work normally after seeing the 14-382 message with a reboot? What I did was I unplugged the unit from the powerstrip and let it sit overnight with no power going to it. Around 6:00PM on Sat. night, I plugged it back in and let it go through the self check and...

    14-382

    I got this code from my HR20-700 HDDVR. Could anyone please tell me what went wong with my receiver. I have had it since 2007 and it worked well since them with no problems. Do I need to order a new box or what?

    Need help bypassing parental controls @ work.

    To Mr. Black. May I make a suggestion for you. Just go to work and do your JOB. Like most have said, don't cry us a river because you want to watch tv or ask us to help you to tamper with equipent that isn't YOUR'S to begin with. Your lunch is 30 minutes long. Eat and get over it. Like I told...

    Need help bypassing parental controls @ work.

    I may be harsh here but instead of worrying about what channels to watch on the tv, maybe you and the night shift should concern yourselves with eating and then going back to work. Where I work, there is NO tv in our breakroom. Simple solution to your problem, eat and get back to work. If you...

    New HD DVR

    I agree with Yorktown. What are you hiding from us in order to help you out. Seems simple enough, do what your contract say's. If something is broken or not working right, then suck it up and get it fixed properly. You can't have it both ways.

    TWC local weather

    Is there a way to turn off the local forecast and just watch the national weather on the 8's. I do enjoy seeing the national graphics instead of my local on the 8's. I can get my local weather elsewhere. Please let me know. Thanks.

    Fed-up DirecTV subscribers turn up the volume on hidden fees

    20 million subs and the average bill is around $80.00 depending on what kinds of service and receivers you have in your homes. If my math is correct, thats about 300 million coming into D* each month in monthly fees. The big question is what is D* doing with all that money. I do know they have...

    Fed-up DirecTV subscribers turn up the volume on hidden fees

    It's not just the sat companies that are doing this. It is a common problem in all of big business. The cancer of lying and deceiving the consumer is eveywhere these days. So much for running a true HONEST business. America better start to run itself more honestly and with integraty if it has...

    Old Hughes system

    Was just curious about it because I'm not forcing anyone to change. They did purchase a nice 42 inch Vizio LCD tv that would look better if it had HD going to it. At least use the tv to it's fullest picture potential. The picture quality would be far better with the signals coming from the 103...

The receivers were made in 9/04 and was wondering how much longer can they get by with this old equipment Please give me your thoughts on this. I really am trying to get...

    Record a channel on VCR & watch another - not a HD DVR or DVR-just a regular receiver

    I don't think you can do that. I think you would be better off upgrading to a DVR or HDDVR with dual tuners to do what you would like. I have a HR20-700 and it works quite well for me. Seems like your idea of recording to VCR is out of date. Most people do DVR their programs and watch them...

    Upgrading to HD

    Aunt and uncle have D* and have been using old technology. Just got back from visiting them and need some advice. They have 1 Sanyo HD set and 2 4:3 tvs and 3 hughes receivers made in 2004. They also have a single LNB that looks only at 101. With the HD locals changing from SD to HD in Feb...
