I'm a little frustrated right now, so I wanted to check in with people in the know to make sure my reading of the D website is correct. I live in zip code 52405, which means I need to have the Sports Pak to have FS-MW. This is the only channel I want out of the Sports Pak. I currently have...

Hello, I've been doing the MRV thing for quite a while on my wired Ethernet network with no DECA. Sadly, my HR21 seems to have bit the dust and will no longer receive a signal from my SWM. I've verified that the problem is isolated to the receiver. I plan on calling DirecTV to get them...

Hello, I recently bought a house, and moved the DirecTV setup I had along and did a self-install as to not extend my contract. The setup is a 5LNB Slimline with a wing dish for 72.5, connected to a SWM-8 and run into the house. Signals on all satellites except for 119 are in the mid to high...

To be frank, I'm being stubborn and shouldn't have to shell out extra for two services. The whole point I signed with DirecTV is so I could get FS-MW, ESPN, and VS all in one place for the Blues games. Now VS is gone. If I do any switching at all, it would be from DirecTV to Dish to once...

I wonder if they'd let me install a Slingbox temporarily? :D This is incredibly frustrating, though. I switched from the local cable provider to DirecTV mainly because the cable co didn't carry FS-MW, and now DirecTV has no VS. I can't win. heh That's a fantastic thought that hadn't...

I just realized the Blues/Red Wings season opener is on Versus :( Ugh

Bringing up the recordings list on the H21-100 for the first time after a reset takes about a minute, and when the window comes up, it seems to be unpopulated. However, hitting Ch Down on the remote displays page 2 of the recordings from the HR21-100.

H21-100 MRVing from a HR21-100 Report: 20090628-3740 H21-100 locked up (video freeze and no remote response) in the middle of streaming the recording of last week's "In Plain Sight." H21-100 eventually rebooted itself. Recording played through the freeze location just fine with DirecTV2PC...

I'm pretty sure that the main protocols they're using are DLNA+DTCP. DLNA uses broadcast traffic to announce new servers, if I remember correctly. DLNA is common nowadays, DTCP is the encryption..

Is the satellite going to require a new dish? I just got my setup about 6 months ago :(

I have a HR21. While it could use a faster processor so it doesn't drag sometimes in the UI, it's a great box with all of the CE features enabled.

I would, but their DirecTV receiver pricing is $30 more expensive than Best Buy/direct from DirecTV. ;) I bought my SWM-8 through them. Best Buy is sounding like the best option, provided they aren't going to force an installer on me. There's one less than a mile from my place.

I'd be installing it myself.

Hello all, My experience with DirecTV has been well enough that I'd like to add an additional HD receiver in the guest bedroom (doubles as my PC room). I'd like to order it off of the website for convenience--is there any way to know what model reciever would be shipped to me? I'd like an H21...

:hungry: I don't think that one's minor though :(
