Actually, the temperature shown in the screenshot is -2 C, which is 28.4 F. Not that much of a difference but below freezing. I definitely agree with giving time for electronic devices to get to room temperature before turning them on. Better be safe than sorry.

I am also interested to know the answers to these questions. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have 4 TiVo HR22 and it took 2 weeks going back and forth with DirecTV and 4 service calls to get OnDemand to work with this device. Long story short, NOBODY at DirecTV and the technicians know...

As Jimbo mentioned, the TiVo unit from Best Buy is not directly compatible with DirecTV. This is the TiVo Premier model and it is a stand-alone TiVo DVR. It doesn't have DirecTV tuner(s) so you would have to use another DirecTV receiver and connect the output of the receiver to the input of the...

Hi, joeyd50. Please define "best" for you. It all depends what you are looking for. If you're into sports, I think DirecTV is the preferred provider. Dish may have channels that the others don't. Same thing with Comcast. If you're looking for better picture quality, I don't know anything...

LOL +1 :)

Supporting DirecTV I just got off the phone with DirecTV and nicely asked if there were any credits for their customers because of this dispute. The lady was very nice and gave me a $5 credit. She also mentioned the free Encore channels but since I've been a new customer for 1 month now, I'm...

This is probably the main reason why I am hesitant to sign up for auto-pay. I want to be able to verify how much money I need to send them before I pay my bill. In case of dispute, I can contact them before any money is taken from my account. Of course, that's the first thing I did. The...

Hi everyone. Little background: I have been a loyal DirecTV customer since November of 2001. Started with regular SD receivers and then upgraded to DVRs in 2004. Currently 4 TVs hooked up with their own DVRs and 1 of them is a lease (R15-300-CR) while all other 3 are owned. All DVRs other than...

Thank you all for your quick replies. The fix was as easy as clearing my cache as you suggested. Thanks!

Hi there. Every time I click on the link to access the DirecTV forum, I am taken to http://www.satelliteguys.us/forum.php. Hovering over the link shows The DIRECTV Forum but it doesn't take me there. Computer details: - OS: Ubuntu 11.10 - Browser: Firefox 11.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu...

FearTheVoices, I sent you a private message with a link to a web site that I suggest for purchasing RG6 cable. I'm too lazy right now to go and read the forum rules to see if posting a link to a web site is considered advertising. :p I'm glad I found this thread because I am thinking of...

Thanks, Bob. I have two HDVR2 recorders that I will call HDVR2_A and HDVR2_B. Last night I opened them and put the hard drive from HDVR2_B into HDVR2_A (swap) and it worked to some extent. HDVR2_A booted but there was a message about a hardware problem with the recorder. I was able to watch...

Guys, I would like to know if it is possible to replace a hard drive in an HDVR2 DVR with a hard drive from another HDVR2? I am not asking if it is physically possible but if the DVR will boot and use the other hard drive without problems. Thank you.

Thanks. I will watch for a CE release this Friday and Saturday (hopefully).

Hello, I am getting an R15 today as a replacement for a defective Hughes HDVR2. Are there only 2 windows of opportunity to get the CE release? I have no hope of getting the 3/12 CE release now? Thank you.
