    HR24 Speed?

    Good to hear. The performance on the older series was an unacceptable design flaw. The DTV developers must be happy they have a responsive platform.

    HR24 Speed?

    How has the speed difference been compared to the older HR2x series? My HR23 receiver is slower than molasses in Antarctica :tux:. The pitiful guide performance has had me thinking of switching to Dish for a while.

    How does 922 compare to DTV's HD HR2x DVR boxes?

    Ah, so you get what I'm saying about the HR2x sluggishness -- drives me crazy. Scrolling the guide is a frustrating experience. So I take it the 922 is zippy? I did check the first look pdf and it looks like the UI is really nice. It appears they designed it as an HD device. The DTV boxes...

    How does 922 compare to DTV's HD HR2x DVR boxes?

    Are there any users here that have had used both receivers? I was thinking of adding a second DTV DVR but the cost of that would be about the same or more as moving to Dish and getting a ViP 922. My biggest complaints with the DTV HR22 is sluggish response to commands and occasional audio...

    Might switch to Dish to get BBC HD

    Has there been any word on BBC HD ever coming to DTV? I'm seriously thinking of switching to get BBC HD, Sirius Radio back and an inexpensive 2nd HD DVR.

    Directv2PC and Windows 7

    The receiver reboot worked. The new build is fast and smooth.

    Directv2PC and Windows 7

    Updated to 5514 but still no receiver found. It will respond to a ping just fine. Just started a reboot of the receiver to see if that helps. One thing I did notice is how much faster the new build is to launch.

    I have 5102 I just downloaded from DTV a couple days ago. I guess I'll need to get a dbstalk account. Thanks

    Insane commercial volume level for local WPTV in South Florida

    I know this is an often complained about topic but something odd is going on here with the local NBC affiliate's, WPTV, audio. The commercial volumes seem to be getting pumped up to criminally insane levels. It's bad enough that the original source is coming through with heavy distortion. I...

    Directv2PC and Windows 7

    It's probably just the usual network weirdness I get. I also had the same issues with the HR21. Sometimes the local LAN stuff would work and other times not. The xbox and Blu-ray player, connected through the same bridge, never have issues. However, the WAN always seems to work for the DVRs.

    Directv2PC and Windows 7

    Anyone using Directv2PC with Windows 7 64 bit? I see some mixed reports, some say it works and others say it doesn't. I just installed and it can't seem to find the receiver. However, I experienced the issue quite a bit under Vista as well. So I'm not sure if it's just the random no...

    Question on new Directv HD DVR Setup

    Is there a reason you can't put in a new power strip and run that to the cabinet? I use a two router setup myself. I have a D-link DIR-655 Gigabit N router. This serves as the wireless base station, WAN and the switch for the wired PCs. In my entertainment center I have a second router...

    Question on new Directv HD DVR Setup

    I have media sharing on the Xbox 360, DVR and an LG B390 blu-ray player. The DTV DVR doesn't work anywhere near as well as the xbox or blu-ray player for media share. It's fun to play with but it just seems slow, often locks up and won't render random images. So I tend to use either the...

    CE's for 7-10 & 7-11

    Is the remote response any better? I missed the update and am stuck with the CE that keeps rebooting my HR22-100. I'm using a Harmony remote with pre-programmed favorites. The Harmony used to change channels great. Now it keeps missing a number or two, which I also find happens manually. I...

    BBC America HD?

    Just read through that. DTV seems to be the only unconfirmed one mentioned. BBC is one of the few SD channels I'll watch so I have my hopes up.

    BBC America HD?

    Thanks, Reading that I gather that, basically, the official CSR response is "no, BBC HD is not being offered". However, the CSRs have no idea about what is or isn't in the works and DTV keeps that info secret.

    BBC America HD?

    Anyone know if BBC will be in HD on July 20th? They're advertising on their bug. I'd so love to see Top Gear in HD.

    New Beta: DirecTV TVApps

    Just looked at the developer section. It's basically a 400x300 image served up from a web server. An RSS feed would be possible but kind of limited. Could even make a satellite guys headline app.

    HD Extra Pack

    I'd have missed the Hogan's Heros marathon in HD the other day without it :). I like to see the old TV shows shot of film remastered to HD.

    Help! No Audio on 199 and 332

    Were the posts you read in regards to this channel or just the software issues that have crept up in the past? Just looking for some ammo to point at a source for the problem. My kids watch Nick so that's a big deal for me. I basically have to not hide the SD dupes and manually tune to 299...
