    Problem with One of my OTA Channels

    ...and everything comes in at 60-70% except one channel (Fox 28, digital channel 27), which was at 0%. I thought maybe the problem was that D* had the channel mapped wrong, so I changed my local area to another area with a digital channel 27 (Fox 5 in Atlanta), and that channel also comes in...

    HR20-700 slow

    ...going into my playlist. I timed it: 7 seconds from the time I push the guide button to the time I see anything show up on the screen. I called D* and they told me anything under 10 seconds of delay is normal. Then they tried to tell me the delay was being caused by my remote, even though...

    "Check Multi-Switch" Error on SWM System

    I started service with 2 TVs about 2 months ago, and everything had been fine up until about a week ago, when I noticed one of the TVs would get blocky at times. It seems to have gotten worse.. Now at times it cannot even lock the signal. A couple times, I've seen a message pop up saying my...

    D* Tech Support: 10 sec guide delay on HR20-700 is normal?

    I've tried resetting it.. That speeds it up for a while, but it eventually just gets bad again. I scanned the disk for errors and it completed without finding any so I assume the HD is ok. My wife does have quite a few series recordings set.. Could that be what is causing it?

    D* Tech Support: 10 sec guide delay on HR20-700 is normal?

    I called D* tech support today to get help with a problem with my HR20-700 that has been getting progressively worse over the last couple years. I've noticed the time between when I press the "Guide" button (either on the front of my receiver or on the remote) and the time the guide pops up is...

    Does the RCA DTC210 Still Work?

    I found an RCA DTC210 HD receiver.. Wondering if these are still supported by DirecTV. I heard they do not work with MPEG-4.. Not sure of all HD channels have switched over to MPEG-4 or just the locals. Thanks, Dan

    HR20/700 Sometimes Refuses to Play

    A couple times in the last week, I've gone to watch a recorded show, and I immediately get the "Do you want to delete" popup. The length of the show is 1 hour, which I expect, and I saw the orange light on during the show, which indicates it was recording. I did a re-boot, and now the show is...

    H20-600 Died

    I called D*.. Told them about the H20-600 problem I was having, and asked if it was covered under the recall. They told me what I was seeing (constant reboots and no lights on the front) had nothing to do with the recall. They did offer me a free replacement ($20 shipping) if I sign another...

    H20-600 Died

    ...lights at all. If I look though the top vent I can see a red light on the circuit board, so I know it must be getting power. I'm hesitant to call D*, since I know it will end with me signing another 2 year contract (or forking out the $$ for a new H20). Any chance this is fixable? Thanks, Dan

    Anyone Else Having Problems with Bravo HD?

    This channel has been very choppy lately.. Bravo HD appears to be on the 103 Sat/Transponder 1, and I'm getting a decent reading (~75%). The only other channel I can find on that Transponder is BIOHD, and I don't have that channel in my package, so I can't tell for sure if it is just that...

    Digital Transition.. Will D* Update OTAs?

    ...(For example, 9-1 used to map to channel 52, it will now just be broadcast on channel 9, which is where the analog channel used to be). Since D* decided to control which OTAs I can receive instead of allowing the receiver to just scan for them, I'm wondering if they plan to switch these...

    D* Promo Notification

    Does anyone know of a way to be automatically notified when D* does free promotions (i.e. free HBO over the weekend, etc)? It would be nice to know ahead of time. Thanks, Dan

    Directv 1080p support

    Re: 1080p I just got 0x290 as well, and I am having the same problem with my Sharp 1080p. My guess is that 1080p isn't working properly yet in 0x290.

    HR20: HDMI not working with no service?

    If anyone out there with a HR20-700 using the HDMI port can try this for me I'd greatly appreciate it: 1. Turn off and unplug power to your box. 2. Unplug the coax coming in from the satellite. 3 Plug in the power cable and turn on your box. Does the HDMI port put out any video at all...

    HR20: HDMI not working with no service?

    I did try that but it didn't help. Before we moved, the TV I have was able to handle all of the resolution settings.

    HR20: HDMI not working with no service?

    No its a sharp Aquos. Before we moved (and when we had the dish hooked up) it worked fine.

    HR20: HDMI not working with no service?

    All, I just moved and am waiting for D* to come and install my dish. I hooked up my HR20-700 to my TV and turned it on and noticed the HDMI output doesen't work (Component out does work). All I see is static on the HDMI output. Is this normal? I figured maybe the HDMI output may not work...

    Removing an Autorecord

    That did it.. Thanks! Here's another question: Is it possible to autorecord only programs I subscribe to? For example, if I want to autorecord all of the Minnesota Twins games, but don't want the MLB extra innings channels to show up in the search, is that possible? Thanks, Dan

    Removing an Autorecord

    This may sound like a dumb question, but I have spent the last hour trying to figure out how to remove a saved search/autorecord. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Dan

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    jetwrench: I found a solution to the bright blue lights: Press (at the same time) the left and right arrow buttons on the front of the HR20. Each time you do this, the lights will dim more and more until they eventually turn off. I believe there are 3 dimmed settings total. Every time...

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    texasbrit: That makes more sense now. Too bad for me.. My wife likes to record Dr. Phil and Paula Dean during the day... They are both on at the same time.. I guess I can't record Star Trek (also on at the same time).

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    It was pretty simple. I just ran a standard Ethernet cable from the back of the HR20 to a free port on my NetGear router, then on one of the PCs, I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 11. I went into WMP11 and had it search for and share all of my pictures and mp3s, then told it to...
