    Intermittent flicker with white bands during playback on HR24-100; have seen with other boxes too

    No, it doesn't happen on all channels. Channel 32 (Fox) has no flicker during playback. BBC America (Channel 264) has flicker. I'll reply later with more channels as I notice them.

    Intermittent flicker with white bands during playback on HR24-100; have seen with other boxes too

    I have an HR24-100. During playback of recorded programs, I get intermittent flickering, about once every 10 to 15 seconds, where a white band flashes on the screen then disappears. This happens only during playback, and not when watching shows in real time. I've had this problem in the past...

    HR2X/R22 CE Release for the Weekend of July 1st

    Having 2 hang problems with 04CC: 1) During delete of a recording program, the HR21-200 became unresponsive. Had to reset. 2) During a smart search, the box again became unresponsive. Had to reset again. This time, I'm going back to the national release.

    HR2x CE Release 4/8

    HR21-200: Latest update causing general weirdness with FF, Rewind, blackouts, slow response The last two updates I've done, including this one, have made the HR21-200 really unstable with basic functions: fast forward, rewind, pause, even signal stability. We get picture drop outs while the...

    HR20 -- HR23 /R22 CE Release for the Weekend of 7.2

    I like this update a lot. The system seems much more responsive in all of the most common functions. Thanks to the engineers for this.

    Looks like audio problem solved! I'm no longer experiencing the delay, so glad to see this update! No other problems seen so far.

    HR20 -- HR23 CE Release for the Weekend of 6.25

    Does download fix audio not immediately audible coming out of rewind or fast forward? Does anyone know if tonight's download solves the audio problem that began two downloads ago? When we resume playback after rewind or fast-forward, it takes up to 4 seconds for the HR21-200 to make the audio...

    General questions about Multiroom Viewing (MRV)

    With convenience, wireless is essential then? Thank you for your thoughts, Jason. Are there any thoughts to the DVRs being able to communicate with each other wirelessly, regardless of whether the consumer has a wireless router set up for their home computer(s)? --Rick

    General questions about Multiroom Viewing (MRV)

    1) Is the approach to MRV to have one DVR interlinked with multiple separate tuner-only set-top boxes located in other rooms? 2) If so, is the driving reason behind this that separate tuners would be significantly less expensive than the alternative of putting DVRs in other rooms? 3) Or...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 5/29 v.31A

    I'm watching playback of the NASCAR race, and I'm getting a real bad intermittent audio "fart" about every 15 seconds. I don't know whether that's part of the broadcast or part of the DVR software update. It's really annoying. It was on the commercials too.

    Venting about increased cost

    OK, I caved. I went down a package, but added HD back into it. At least D* doesn't penalize us for switching packages. And, while in my fuming about the price hike, I had flashbacks to Comcast's "HD" as they call it. It was like driving an old pickup too fast, and drunk to boot. The image would...

    Venting about increased cost

    Not having HD anymore really sucks. Can't afford it.

    Venting about increased cost

    You guys are right. . .it was the end of year 1. Pisses me off that they gave me the "choice" of going 1 or 2 years. . .they didn't bother to mention that the price only lasts 1 year. So the question is, which debt is more important to pay off. . .student loan, credit cards, car payment, or Guido?

    Venting about increased cost

    No sir. I still have a year left on my 2-year plan. Nothing rolled off. I didn't have HBO or any of the other paid movie channels. I just had the CHOICE XTRA™ + DVR — Locals Included package. I knew about the $3 bump, and I was cool with that, but this latest one is just wrong. Now I'll have to...

    Venting about increased cost

    DirecTV has jacked up my bill a total of $26 in the last 2 months, for no change in programming. This is the first time I've ever been infuriated with DirecTV. Up 'til now it's been paradise compared to Comcast. . .now this crap is beginning to look very familiar. . .:mad:

    New CE Feature Request Idea

    Good ideas all. What I'd like to see is a better directv.com website. Specifically, I'd like to be able to EASILY find and set some/all NASCAR races to record, whether they've been added to the program log or not. I'd like to do the same with baseball games, football games, etc, regardless of...

    HR2x & R22 CE Release 1/16

    No problems with the 02B7 download to my HR21-200. One thing I would like to have is the ability to fix a peak volume level, so that when watching low-volume TV shows (reruns of the 1950's "What's My Line"), the modern day commercials don't come blasting in and make us scramble to hit the...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 12/5 0X02AB

    Quicktune working fine. That's the only functionality I'd use. We have only 1 TV, and don't use the other advanced features that have been rolled out recently.

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 11/21 0x02A5

    Thank you. . . Sounds like a nice feature. It's been a drag not having a quick way to find the channel a sporting event was being carried on.

    H21-200 CE Release 11/14 0x429F

    In watching today's NASCAR race, about half of the commercials were missing part of their audio. Specifically, the background sounds of the commercials, including sound effects, came through, but the main person speaking was not audible. For example, the ATT wireless commercial with the guy...

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/15 0x0269

    Last question: For SUPERSKIPTOTICK, what is a tick? I assumed it was a way to approximate commercial skip, but in replaying the unwatched portion of a Nascar race I recorded Sunday, it seemed like it broke the remaining time into portions and just jumped to the next portion. Is that how the...

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/15 0x0269

    Found another glitch. During playback, when fast-forwarding, the timescale showing where you are in the course of the show isn't there. Instead, the "Please wait" bar appears. So, you can't see how far into a show you are. Also, when reaching the end of a recorded show, when the screen appears...

    HR20 / HR21 / R22 CE Release 8/15 0x0269

    On my HR21-200, this release experienced a glitch today. My wife was watching a program when suddenly the screen-saver appeared. She pressed play and continued watching the program when again, the screen-saver appeared during viewing the program. She turned off the DVR and TV and turned them on...

    I'm not a widget subscriber, but downloaded the CE. No issues encountered. . .all seems OK. I'm glad the HD audio synch got fixed awhile ago. . .that was annoying when watching the Nascar Prelude to the Dream PPV event.
