Good to hear. The performance on the older series was an unacceptable design flaw. The DTV developers must be happy they have a responsive platform.

How has the speed difference been compared to the older HR2x series? My HR23 receiver is slower than molasses in Antarctica :tux:. The pitiful guide performance has had me thinking of switching to Dish for a while.

Ah, so you get what I'm saying about the HR2x sluggishness -- drives me crazy. Scrolling the guide is a frustrating experience. So I take it the 922 is zippy? I did check the first look pdf and it looks like the UI is really nice. It appears they designed it as an HD device. The DTV boxes...

Are there any users here that have had used both receivers? I was thinking of adding a second DTV DVR but the cost of that would be about the same or more as moving to Dish and getting a ViP 922. My biggest complaints with the DTV HR22 is sluggish response to commands and occasional audio...

Thanks for the info. I did a site search and google search but came up empty.

Has there been any word on BBC HD ever coming to DTV? I'm seriously thinking of switching to get BBC HD, Sirius Radio back and an inexpensive 2nd HD DVR.

Why is it the "other site" always get the info first? :)

The receiver reboot worked. The new build is fast and smooth.

Updated to 5514 but still no receiver found. It will respond to a ping just fine. Just started a reboot of the receiver to see if that helps. One thing I did notice is how much faster the new build is to launch.

I have 5102 I just downloaded from DTV a couple days ago. I guess I'll need to get a dbstalk account. Thanks

I know this is an often complained about topic but something odd is going on here with the local NBC affiliate's, WPTV, audio. The commercial volumes seem to be getting pumped up to criminally insane levels. It's bad enough that the original source is coming through with heavy distortion. I...

It's probably just the usual network weirdness I get. I also had the same issues with the HR21. Sometimes the local LAN stuff would work and other times not. The xbox and Blu-ray player, connected through the same bridge, never have issues. However, the WAN always seems to work for the DVRs.

Anyone using Directv2PC with Windows 7 64 bit? I see some mixed reports, some say it works and others say it doesn't. I just installed and it can't seem to find the receiver. However, I experienced the issue quite a bit under Vista as well. So I'm not sure if it's just the random no...

Is there a reason you can't put in a new power strip and run that to the cabinet? I use a two router setup myself. I have a D-link DIR-655 Gigabit N router. This serves as the wireless base station, WAN and the switch for the wired PCs. In my entertainment center I have a second router...

I have media sharing on the Xbox 360, DVR and an LG B390 blu-ray player. The DTV DVR doesn't work anywhere near as well as the xbox or blu-ray player for media share. It's fun to play with but it just seems slow, often locks up and won't render random images. So I tend to use either the...
