I was aware of how to hit the record and I do it if watching a game, but it is a little inconvenient

I was a DISH customer with SD only, but when I tried to upgrade to the Hopper, I needed new cabling to 3 GHz to the Hopper and have the dish mounted on the house to point to the satellites needed. With the DirectTV, no new wiring needed and the satellite could be placed in the same location...

Thanks for the breakdown. I am weighing my options. I would like the ability to pause live tv everywhere and I think using the one of the tuners from the hr34 will not be a detriment. Thanks again,

I. Had not looked at the connection between the cinema connection kit and the h25. As pointed out here, it is coax. So that means I could do the same thing with the c31. I sent the thread from work so my apologies in not reviewing the equipment setup first. Thanks,

I switched to DirectTV a month before the GENIE offer came out in October. I currently have an HR34 and two H25's. My Cinema Connection Kit is connected to the H25 because it is the closest to my wireless router. If I wanted to switch the H25 with a C31, could the cinema connection kit still...

I am thinking about changing my internet to a Mobile 4G Hotspot connection. The plans in my area come with data caps starting at 4GB and up. If I do not do on-demand downloads, what other traffic occurs on the Internet connection between the receivers and the Cinema Connection Kit? Thanks,

I just recently switched from Dish to DirectTv. Believe me, I went through all the numbers for the entire two years and beyond as far as what it would cost at each price point (3 months, 12 months, 2 years). I priced out Comcast as well and while the internet speeds are very appealing, I have...

Clear and cool. I have not checked the signal strength yet. Not sure if I see it on the HD receiver upstairs as well. Thanks,

I realize the issues with signal strength and the like could affect the picture, but I was more concerned could the processing on the HR34 cause the issue (recording 3 channels watching another, etc.). I had not noticed the signal degradation any other time. Now granted, I have only had the...

Last night I was recording three channels and watching ESPN football game on the main TV where the HR34 was connected. From time to time the picture got blocky and pixelated. Not a huge problem, but it was annoying. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks,

Thanks for the information.

I have canceled my Dish service, but own a 510 receiver, two 311 receivers, and a 500 Dish. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Can I trash them? Should I send in the smart cards? I would give them away if someone wanted them. Thanks,

Technician came today and was able to use the existing wiring. My first use of the Home Media Center was to watch a football game. First in the bedroom, then downstairs in the family room. I believe I am going to love this. Love the 5 tuners (my old system had one tuner for DVR), no more...

I have been a E* customer for years (a 510 DVR receiver and two 311's) and I had all the intentions of remaining one. However, when I went to upgrade the Hopper, I was told I needed to drill holes in my house to run 3 GHz rated cabling. Plus, my house was situated in so that the only way I...

Found my own answer. Looks like it is my HD locals which are on 61.5W. Thanks,
