    EVERYTHING gone on 6 PVR's

    So I had been part of the beta testing group for MRV. I was using my home network and all was working great. When it ended, I was so spoiled I had to order. I called in and my intention was to just use my home network and pass on the $99 setup fee. Well after talking to CS and also...

    Similar issue. On 103b, Tuner 1 is showing 31% while Tuner 2 is showing 78%. Sats 101, 110, 119, & 103a both tuners read 93% 99b - Not Aquired. Once the upgrade was finished, my tuner 2 didn't work on FXHD. I had to do a hard reset on the box and when it booted up again, all my channels...

    Free DIRECTV HDDVR

    When I called, I simply mentioned the Dish Network promotion which is a free HD DVR, free HBO & Cinemax for 3 months, and free HD package for 6 months. After I explained what they had, I simply ask D* what they were offering. I got the DVR for free. I believe this method saved me from...

    LISTEN UP! Contacting CSR Tier, with regards to anything CE related.

    If there is a way to identify who the offenders are, can they be banned from the CE forum? This way they don't ruin this for everyone else who is playing by the rules.

    HR20-100....need advice

    I am trying to get them to swap it out and although most techs are more than willing, what I hear from the reps there is that their system doesn't let them note which HR20 to send out. I mailed a certified letter to customer service yesterday which included my story and links to these threads...

    How Are You Using Your External ESATA Drive?

    Not true, it simply disables it. I have had info on my internal drive, plugged in the eSATA and then couldn't see the programs on my internal drive. When I unplugged my eSATA and rebooted, the programs on the internal drive were there. This is also a good way to test. One of my units had a...

    HR20-100 RF Remote

    I recieved 2 of these units last week and once I activated the RF, it's been a nightmare. They are slow to respond if they respond at all, that is unless I am 2-3 feet away from the unit. I have found some other posts here and on other sites about this but they are old. Some at D* say they...

    9300 Now A&E

    Earlier today I was watching NG and all of a sudden, it went to some cheap music and a slide saying they were having technical difficulty. Then the program came back. I lasted about 15 seconds. It was like watching TV 30 years ago.

    Am I better off using "Native"?

    Ditto.......I also hate stretched squashed pictures. My buddy watches SD like that at his place and it drive me crazy. I think it's because he is short and fat so it's his way of brining everyone into his world.

    Olevia Model 226V

    I purchased a 232V last week for the office and connected it to an HR20. HD an SD for that matter look great. For something to glance at while I work on my PC, it's a great deal and you can't pass up the price. Also, from what I have read and experienced, there are no universals with the...

    HR20-100....need advice

    On Monday, I had 2 HR20-100 units installed. On Wednesday, I turned on the RF feature of the remotes and was very disappointed. If I move more than 6 ft. away from the receivers, the remote stop working. I even extended the external antenna and it didn't help one bit. I called D* and explained...

    Owned HR10-250 upgrade to HR20 best deal

    E* is currently offering new customers a free HD PVR, 6 months of HD programming, & 3 months of HBO. I called the D* customer service number and said "Cancel" to the voice prompt. When the rep answered, I explained the E* deal on their website and told her to check it out. She said that she...

    Is It Legal?

    Visit http://www.rush2112.net/portal/index.php for recording Sirius and XM. It is very nice software and all he asks is for a donation. I love it and started using is once TimeTrax went belly up. He now has a Sirius and XM version.

    Adios Dish....

    Who cares? Go! What is the point of your post? Do you announce all your decisions in life? Hey Scott, How about a special forum for users who feel they need to post that they changed providers? This way we don't have to sift through them looking for interesting information.
