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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Just placed an order for D* today. I'm having installation done for 5 tv's in 4 rooms. I actually didn't really need the install on the fourth room but I thought that I would take advantage of the free installation now rather than having to pay for the addition later. My question is, after...

Hi, I currently use SageTV as my DVR for my cable connection. It works great. I love being able to add hard disk space, customize SageTv (in java) and basically customize the hell out of it. It also has placeshifter functionality which lets me connect to my SageTV server for anywhere in the...

Hi, I'm new to D* (haven't made the move yet...). When I enter in a 2 year contract, is it possible to change my programming package in the middle of the contract without having to renew the 2 year commitment? Thanks!

Hi, I am new to satellite tv and considering switching to Directv after many years with cable. I still have analog cable so adding tvs was as simple as splitting the coaxial cable.... I understant that with satellite there is a limit to the number of TVs that can be hooked up. I have 5...
