    odd situation where 2nd sat cable is always bad but individually they're ok?

    But I have the same problem with two different receivers. I thought it might be the receiver but what are the odds that it's both? Plus, if I switch the cables and just put one on sat 2 on any receiver, it works. The problem I have is if both sat 1 and sat 2 are plugged into the receiver, sat...

    odd situation where 2nd sat cable is always bad but individually they're ok?

    I have a DTV HDVR2 Tivo receiver hooked up to DirecTV, valid account and all that but I have the weirdest problem... if I run 1 cable from the LNB to either sat 1 or sat 2, it works fine. But if I run 2 cables, the sat 2 line is intermittent and doesn't work. I can swap cables 1 and 2 as...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    Ok, now we're getting somewhere! I have two units I got off Ebay and the original boxes are here... on one box there's a tag that has: * Model No (R15-300-R) * Serial Number * Cam ID That box may or may not be the original box and could be for a different unit, but the other box - the one...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    Obviously they can support these units.. Is it possible the retention department might allow me to enable one or else I'll cancel my account?

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    First, I don't have any HD tvs. I don't watch TV that much, and I don't want to pay a premium for HD. I'm happy with the setup I have. I know that sounds hard to believe but I just want basic access to a few shows and am not interested in spending a fortune. Tivo works well. It works better...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    No that can't be it, because the hard drive I swapped was one I replaced in an older unit. It is not the stock 40g drive that the HDVR2's came with. And it's pretty well known you can change out the hard drive and increase the capacity of these units. My feeling is there's some kind of...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    All this happened in the last six months. I was told if my Hughes HDVR2 unit was dead, I could not put my card in another unit and make it work. I pulled the hard drive out of my old unit. Put it into a HDVR2 I got off eBay, then erased and reset everything, went through setup, and it...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    It's a Hughes HDVR2 unit. I was told without the ID it would not work, BUT I put the card in an entirely different unit and erased and reset the device and it worked. (or I should say, I moved the hard drive over to the new unit, then erased and reset it) - I originally thought the power...

    upgrading tuner to dvr and avoiding upsell/lies

    I recently had a Tivo unit die. It's an old Tivo that isn't being sold any more but it's fine for me and I wasn't looking to upgrade to HD - I just wanted my Tivo back working, so I bought a used unit thinking I could swap the power supply and bring it back to life (as I'd done before) however...
