    Slow HR34

    SAME: I was able to get the HR44 specific model request sent to me and it's amazing. The best way I can describe it is dial up internet vs broadband. Everything is immediate whereas before you had to wait for the lag.

    Genie Software update 0xa72 Sluggish

    I ended up getting an hr44 approved and sent to me. Dear God the difference is amazing.....and what I mean by that is you couldn't ASK for it to be faster.....No lag at all, even on the wired clients.......It's so amazing that I called asking about the recovery kit and told the CSR how much...

    Genie Software update 0xa72 Sluggish

    I have a question in addition to more information after I call I made to D* support. My reason for calling support in the first place was that we noticed that on the HR34, if you have recorded a "series" like Big Bang Theory and you have several episodes, you watch one on the DVR, and then when...

    Genie Software update 0xa72 Sluggish

    Yea I turned native off on all my clients and the HR34 and it made a huge difference, but I still want a 44 just for the fact that it should NOT be this way (I had a great setup before I upgraded to genie with 2 hr24's and a 21 (whole home) but I needed another room, so I got the genie. I should...

    Slow HR34

    You got lucky with the new HR44! I'm still well within the 90 day warranty period. I did turn off native (it was on) and it made a huge difference, but still didn't solve other issues......I've had DirecTV since 2008. The installer put my dish up and it hasn't been touched since and I still have...

    Slow HR34

    I'm currently dealing with this as I went from 2 HR24's and an HR21 to a Genie which ended up being an HR34. I did not know to ask for a 44 until it was too late....After being upgraded for about a week or two now, the HR34 is getting worse. Everything installed correctly, signal good...

    HD-DVRs are soooo slow

    Oh wow.............I agree. I went from two HR-21's to two HR-24's and all I can say is the difference is unbelievable! I suffered through those HR-21's for three years until I got used to it and didn't notice it. One of my 21's went bad so they sent someone out instead of sending a new...

    HR2x / H21-H25 Software Release 11/1/11 v. 057B & 047B

    So I'm sitting here at 5 am on the computer, tv and DVR turned off, and the HR21 reboots itself. I'm thinking that perhaps this is the update but still the same guide. I have no idea why it rebooted itself.

    HR-24 tuner 2 quit working

    I too have always had an issue with tuner 2 on ONE of my Hr21. I have two Hr21's and SWM.........Though tuner two on my one living room HR21 isn't dead like yours, it's always about ten points lower than tuner one (but only on the newer satellites) not all of them.....The bedroom HR21 is the...

    Just switched from Dish Network to DirecTV.... One man's feelings

    Yes..........Directv's default fast forward is 30slip I think.......In the smartsearch search 30skip and it will instantly forward 30 seconds. I hate the 30slip.

    Does your Directv DRV play Youtube videos?

    Yes...............If you're watching, say pt 3 of a ten part video..........Once part 3 is done, click related videos and pt 4 will be there among others.......... The most shocking thing to me is how clear some of the videos are...........Not HD, but better than SD............It's so cool...

    Does your Directv DRV play Youtube videos?

    Actually, my youtube started working. Finally web videos showed up in parental controls (it wasn't there before)........... It took a few hours to show up........But I think the problem lies within the router.......With my Belkin, I had to enter ports and change from TCP to UDP.......once I...
