    R16 Questions

    Where can I get my hands on an R16? I know that if I call D* there is no guarantee that I will get one. Also it seems that Best Buy only carries the R15. Is it true that the remote that comes with the R16 is not RF capable? I have an HR21 and I don't use that remote (I use a Harmony...

    The HR21-700 Sucks!

    Too late.... the CSR told me to reset the receiver and after I did that the shows were gone. So far it has not missed any recordings. I haven't changed a thing since this first happened except for doing a reset. Maybe doing reset after you attach an external drive makes it more stable?

    Native Setting

    My TV is 720p so I set native to ON and checked 720p only. This seems to stop the flickering.

    Native Setting

    I have an HR21-700. What is the purpose of the Native setting under HDTV? I find that when I set it to Off, changing channels is faster and there is much less flicker on the screen.

    Changing Receivers

    I was planning on running the line from one of the rooms that I'm removing a receiver from to the room with the R15/16 myself.

    Changing Receivers

    I am planning on returning 3 of the standard receivers and getting the R15/16 to replace them since none of the 3 TVs will ever be on at the same time. Would it be better to do this all through DirecTV and have them send me the new receiver and thusly I would send them back the old receivers...

    Questions about R16

    I'm thinking of putting a R16 in the living room and using the two composite outputs to connect to two other tv's in adjacent rooms and the coax out to the tv in the living room. None of the tvs will ever be watched at the same time and the rooms are close enough that the RF on the remote...

    D* Protection Plan---Not Free for 12/mos After All

    I had my install last Saturday and I never asked for the protection plan when signing up or when the tech was here doing the install. When I look at my account online it shows that I have the PP at zero cost. Is it just free for the first month?

    How do you go about getting the premier package free for 4 months? Can this be requested after your install is done?

    The HR21-700 Sucks!

    Thanks for the replys. So far, all my recordings have gone off without a hitch (knock on wood). Yes, I probably should have used the box first before attaching the external drive. I don't believe that the problem was with the external drive as there were a few occassions where I would tune to...

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    Has anyone had problems with missed recordings when using an external drive? I have an HR21-700 with a Seagate Barracuda 750GB in an Anyware ME-740JBK enclosure. See my post here http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-dvr-forum/125481-hr21-700-sucks.html

    I have an HR21-700 and I am trying to program AV1 on the remote to control my Onkyo TX-SR575 Receiver. The instructions on the screen provides 5 codes. One of the codes works for turning ON the receiver. Another code works for turning OFF the receiver. The other 3 codes do nothing. Anyone...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Yes, I registered online to make sure everything was ok (see post 106). There was a code B6291/020 which I assumed was the AAA discount. I don't believe the HD Pack is free with the Premier pack. I guess Premier really doesnt include everything. And yes, they do rape you for international...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I just had my install done 2 days ago. I went to my online account to see the charges and I know that the $20 off for the first year is in the form of a rebate (which I submitted online). I don't however see any AAA discount as a line item or the referral discount either. Should they be...

    The HR21-700 Sucks!

    I was a long time user of cable and I built my own dvr using sage tv. It had worked flawlessly for years and never once missed any recordings. Finally made the switch to D* two days ago because they have more HD channels. I have to admit I was afraid of D* DVRs after reading many horror stories...

    Future features for H21s?

    I wouldn't rely on using directv to "autotune" the H2x box even if it is attached to another dvr (for example sage tv). I would rely on using your htpc software to schedule and tune the H2x. I use SageTV and I can remotely schedule it using their placeshifter software without having to worry...

    Future features for H21s?

    The H2x is not a DVR therefore you can't schedule it to record anything because it doesn't have the capability to record.

    Is It Really FREE Installation?

    I see advertisements all the time for free installation for up to 4 rooms. After perusing the forum it seems that some people have to pay the installer extra to fish wires through for rooms outside the the one tv??? What exactly should I expect? I have 5 tvs in 4 rooms and my install is next...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I'm getting a little worried about my order now. At first the CSR would not give me the $20 off 2007 Q4 deal on top of the AAA discount. I then asked to speak to the supervisor and she confirmed that I could get both. However she said that I could not get the referral discount. But when the...

    Changing Programming

    Hi, I am a new D* subscriber getting installed next week. Question about changing programming. If at some point I decide to make a programming change, does it restart the 2 year commitment? Will it also have any negative impact to my discounts (ie, AAA, $20 off first year, referral)? Thanks
