Help. I have two DVRs in my home. Both R15. They have both begun to stick when we try fast forward or skip. That is we hit either the fast forward or skip button (doesn't matter which) and it goes through about a commericial and a half then freezes. Has this been happening to others? We don't...

Anyone tried on of these? It is 2.4mhz and so are my phones (and possibly my router). Will this cause interference? I know there is a 5.8 system, but for a lot more money.

Can I use one of these video transmitter systems? 5.8GHz Audio and Video Transmission System Rather than getting another box, can I hook this up to my current box and then to a TV in another room? How will I controll the channels etc. Please reply directtv for idiots language. Thanks.

Can I add on a receiver myself? I saw a receiver at the thrift store (same one I currently have). What would I need to do to make it active in my house?

Thanks for all your help

Yah, I think mine are not HD, but have two tuners.

Is one cable for locals and the other for the rest? I think I get both locals and others on the single cable upstairs.

I don't do anything myself. LOL. I don't and never did have HD in any room. Why would they have two lines running in some of my rooms and not all?

Can I change receivers in my own house? I have DVR in my living room and no DVR in my attic. I want to switch them because the attic room is warmer in the winter. What I have noticed is my DVR has to cables running into it where as my attic box has a single wire running into it. Anything I can do?

BTW, I also just bought a 20 sharp LCD that is looking terrific with it hooked up the same way (s-video).

Just bought a Philips 32" LCD 32plf7332 I am not running HD, but still didn't expect the picture to be so fuzzy? Any controls I can manipulate to make it look like my 12 year old Philips 27"? I have it hooked up to my standard Direct TV through the s-video. It is very grainy in general, and...

Does it matter if I have it hooked to phone line or not (for the guide)? How far forward can you usually search with direct (model R-15)?

Where do you get a dish warmer?

Just got hooked up today. My guide doesn't seem to know some shows that are on tomorrow (blank for that time slot). How often does the system update to search for future show? I am use to dish where they update every night at 3:00. Anyone know? Also is there a way to just set a reminder for a...
