I was just wondering if an external hard drive affects the speed of the hddvr at all? By speed I mean scrolling through the guide, bringing up menus and searches etc. I was curious if it either slowed it down, sped it up or had no effect at all. Thanks for any input!

Yay! I checked it today and we no longer have the stretched out feed! I was still using OTA for this channel but now I don't have to! Thanks alot for emailing d* and getting it fixed for all of us in the Salisbury dma!

Thanks alot mdram! I'll keep checking to see if mine goes HD. Can you post to this thread when yours does?

? Then why don't we see it in hd?

Fox was never in hd ota and it doesn't appear to be in hd with Directv. It is a subchannel of WBOC 16 CBS. (It is WBOC-DT2) Wiki lists it as 480i in 4:3 aspect ratio WBOC web site says it's offered in HD to Comcast & Verizon Fios. Any chance it will become HD w/ Directv? Why does...

So if I understand correctly, I'll be able to get locals on my HDDVR (HR20), but not on my SDDVR (R16) unless I upgrade that one to a HD model, is that right?

I currently do not have locals available (Salisbury, MD). But they are supposed to be added sometime in November. I have a couple of questions. Currently I get my locals by combo of OTA and DNS. 1-When locals become available how do I know? (Do I have to check online or will DTV...

I had a HR20-100 HD Dvr that experienced a hard drive failure recently, and Directv replaced it with a HR20-700. I have noticed 2 things that concern me. 1- The dvr makes noises that my old dvr did not. It is a kind of clicking or whiring sound. 2- When I pause live TV and then go to...

I am considering upgrading my old sd receiver to sd dvr and have a couple questions. 1- will I get the R16 or are there still R15 out there? (I have read so many problems with the R15) 2- is it true that the R16 only requires one line run to be able to use both tuners? 3- are there any...

?? should I be concerned and consider updating my receiver? It's used on a small std def tv and works fine- but if it's becoming obsolete and I'm going to start missing programming I guess I should consider?

I have MLB EI, and one HDDVR and one Standard receiver. The standard receiver had a messgage telling me that MEI are no longer shown on the MEI channels, I can see the games on their appropriate RSN channel. Can anyone explain why? Is this going to affect my other sports subscriptions too...

I would like to know if anyone can tell me if the powerstrip adapter from Directv for Video on Demand has surge protection on it's outlets? Thanks!

Can someone please explain what could be the cause of my lower signal numbers on Tuner 2 vs Tuner 1. In particular it is Sat 101 Transponders 1-10: tuner 1= 97 95 96 97 96 100 97 100 95 96 tuner 2= 95 69 85 70 75 48 76 65 82 51 because of this I sporadically get...

I didn't call... afraid they'd want to send a tech out and I don't want to pay for that.

For some reason in the past week, I can no longer get Espn News SD. I can get ESPN news HD. I get the searching for satellite code 771 message on SD. It really doesn't matter since I get the HD- but I was curious if anyone had a clue why? It is the ONLY channel that this has happened to so I...
