Getting sick of the BS with it being off DTV. According to KLKN (yes, I know they're biased but so is DTV), they've sent a new proposal and DTV has said "we'll get around to looking at it eventually". Luckily I have an antenna and with KHGI I'm not missing any of my recordings, but it's a PITA...

Got the same combination, and I can't say I've seen that. I have seen it completely miss tuning into a channel on the AM-21. However, if you change to another channel and come back, it's fine. As with a lot of things on the HR-34, I think there are some bugs still to be worked out, and when...

I would. You get 5 tuners and can watch any shows recorded on it in any of up to 3 (I think) rooms at a time. If you have one HD-DVR, you can only watch a recorded show off of it in one room at a time. This may not make a difference if you live alone, but if you don't it can be a big deal...

You're right. It was an SL-5 as it now has 4 wires running from the LNB to the SWM-16. I had the wrong model numbers in my head. Too much SWM'ing I guess... :-P

Yeah just had that setup installed today myself. Had 2 HR-24 and one H-24 before and now have an HR-34 and two HR-24's. Tech came out and changed my head to a SWM-5 instead of a SWM-3, added the SWM-16 unit, and we were good to go. He said the order automatically added the SWM-16, but not...

Just got one for $99 myself. Had to re-up contract, but I wasn't planning on going anywhere, really extended contract 14 months, and got some nice perks to go with it ($20 off/12 mo and 6 mo showtime free). Wish Nick Jr was back, but we'll make do until it returns with the $5off/3 mo.

You know, I'm torn. I'd really like to get down to one HR-34 DVR and have only one location to worry about setting programs on. However, I also agree with the last poster and don't think I should have to "lie" to get them to work with me. I just wish they'd make the existing customers a...

I just did this. $50 to DirecTV, and $75 to the contractor that came out to do the actual relocation. He did a really good job, though, and was very thorough (I'll admit I supervised :) ). I actually even gave him a little extra because he seemed to really care about the job he did rather...

Having had both, I have to say that the MRV is amazing. That's the main reason I switched. I had "pseudo" MRV on Dish by backfeeding the RF outputs into my OTA system, but there is no comparison with DirecTV's system. I've found DirecTV to be a little cheaper also, even with two DVR's instead...

Actually I have to disagree. There is one channel that shows up with the AM-21 here with guide data that, while it would show up on the 722 would never have guide data. I hassled Tribune and Dish for more than a year about it and it was never fixed before I left Dish (which was about 2 months...

Had something interesting happen tonight. I went to watch tv on the DVR (HR-24) that is on the CE release, and wanted to watch something from the other DVR (national release). When I pulled up the "list", it showed ONLY an old show that I had deleted off of the other DVR in the list, and would...

Me either.

Geez I thought the last version worked pretty good....wonder what they changed? Oh well I'll update to this one anyway (in 10 min :) )

Hope it's TruTV instead of TCM, though... :)
