    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?

    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.

    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

    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...

    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.

    Help! No Audio on 199 and 332

    This has been driving me nuts for some months now. On channels 299 and 332 (NickHD and Palladia) the Dolby Digital audio source on these channels breaks up. Originally the problem did not exist but I think it started after one of the CE updates but I'm on the national release now. I haven't...

    Questions on replacement for HR-21

    I'm getting a replacement receiver for some DD audio issues I have with a couple channels and my HR-21. What receiver seems to be shipping now? I see there is a HR23, how does it compare with the HR-21? I recall when I got the HR21 it was a new model and the software was atrocious and...

    MediaSare just dissapeared

    After having a working MediaShare for a while I haven't been able to get media share to show up. There is no firewall on the PC, Media Sharing is enabled, VOD works, DirecTV2PC works, the xbox360 and Roku soundbridge can see the shared media. No changes to the setup were made. The MediaShare...

    DIRECTV2PC and VPN adapters

    I was receiving the following message when trying to view recorded shows: I did have one recording that would play back and that was the HDNet test pattern. I found this post DirecTv2Pc and ICS Internet Connection Sharing - DBSTalk.Com about VPN adapters causing the issue. I was able to go in...

    PPV + Internet - no connection?

    I just tried to order a PPV movie both live and VOD and was told the receiver could not establish a network connection to order the movie. However, I can still download free VOD content. What gives here? Is this and issue on DTV's end?

    DD audio issue on 299 NICKHD

    I'm having issues with DD audio on 299 for the past two days. It cuts in and out and mostly stays out. Other HD channels seem fine. I'm not sure if it's a provider issue or something with the CE firmware. I'll try a reboot tonight and see if that helps.

    DIRECTV2PC

    I see this in the CE release notes but I couldn't find any info by searching around. Is the software available yet?

    Request - Rhapsody streaming

    I know this will probably never happen but I'd love to be able to stream the Rhapsody service through the HR21. I hear tivo is doing this.

    Stream to HR21 to PC

    It's been a while since I was on but there was some talk in the past that DTV had a beta in the works to allow recordings to be viewed on a PC. Any progress or word on when that will be available?

    Audio problems changing channels HR21

    This has been an ongoing digital audio issue for me since 021C and they haven't done any audio work in the past several releases. It's now in the NR. I have a Sherwood Newcastle R-863 receiver that drops audio when changing from SD to sources SD on my HR21-700. Anyway, I was curious to see...

    Are they asleep at NickHD?

    OK, are they asleep over at Nick HD or is it just laziness? They're reshowing the kids choice awards in 4:3 after they just aired it in 16:9. Most of the other SD/HD channel combos manage to show the full HD source. What gives?

    Stuck searching for software?

    My receiver (HR21) seems to be stuck searching for software tonight in the CE window. The numbers in the upper left of the screen keep changing. Is it safe to restart or should I just let it go?

    Media Share bug - CE 021C

    I tried accessing an image that was showing a warning triangle. I immediately lost video signal from the HR21 and had to do a hard reset of the receiver.

    HR21 - New Audio issue on CE 021C

    This is a weird one. When switching between two SD channels I lose audio all together. I have to power my audio receiver off and back on. Once I do that I get audio back. Changing between SD/HD and HD/HD is fine. I think the HR21 with the 021C CE is somehow getting my audio receiver...

    HR21 - 1 tuner flaked out

    I'm not sure if this is a CE issue or just a common glitch but I lost the ability to tune to every other channel yesterday. I just got a gray screen. Sort of like the one some people complain about with failed recordings. A quick power off/on fixed the issue. From what I've read here about...

    HR21 slow guide

    OK, I know nobody has ever accused the HR21 guide of being fast but I had my old Voom receiver hooked up today since I'm getting ready to sell it as an OTA tuner. After using the HR21 for a couple weeks I was blown away by how fast that old Voom receiver was. You press and hold the up and down...

    media sharing bugs

    I've gave the media sharing on 0x1FE a workout today and had a few bugs. It seems that after accessing a few photos and changing folders (based off of date tags) I can no longer access additional images. It briefly says "please wait" and goes back to the thumbnails. I'm not sure if it is...

    media sharing wired vs wireless

    Has anyone had experience accessing media servers both on wireless and wired? I'm wondering if issues with slow retrieval and HR21 response could perhaps be related to the 802.11g wireless network.

    Media Share - Rhapsody UPnP media server?

    Well, I know tivo is doing this now but this would be a nice enhancement to the Media Share to make it compatible with the UPnP Rhapsody media server.
