    HR-24 audio issue

    I've had this HR-24 for I would guess a couple of months. For some reason, whenever it's been off for awhile (like say a few hours) when I turn it back on, there is no sound. The first couple of times it happened, I hit the reset button which eventually fixes it but, as you know, it takes awhile...

    HR-24 tuner 2 quit working

    I'm pretty sure I have this narrowed down to the receiver but, I figured I'd run it by you guys just in case. Here is the deal. For over a year, I've had my DTV installed with an HR-22. DTV installed it. SWM install. Worked fine. I just added an HR-24 I bought from an online supplier about a...

    Lightning strikes DVR questions (may need stonecold)

    First, I've had DTV for about 16 months. When I signed up, I got just one receiver. An HR-22 HD DVR. The other night I'm watching it and it's storming. Suddenly there was a simultaneous lightning flash and, extremely loud thunder crack with a little "pop" and, out goes the tv. The TV...

    leased, owned information please

    It's my understanding that all new receivers are leased. I went to ebay to see the prices on new receivers and to my surprise there a couple of it says "owned" HR-24s That raised my eyebrows.

    What Lnb do I have?

    I was looking at my signal strength meters. It shows satellites 101, 99c, 99s,103s,103ca,103cb, and swm. since there are only 3 orbital locations there, does that mean I only have the 3 lnb? Chicago market if that matters

    How to transfer HR 22 recordings to Ext. Hard drive?

    Hey guys, I had a couple of questions about the whole hard drive thing. I did a search and found posts that said, an external hard drive replaces the internal in an HR22, instead of giving you extra storage space. I couldn't reply to that post cause it was from 2008. Is that still the case...

    The HR 22

    I thought I'd read that the HR 22 could record two shows while watching another? I've tried it and, clearly you can't. Are there any DTV receivers that have this capability?

    Center Ice picture quality

    Tonight I was watching the Capitals and Canucks. It was supposed to be HD but, looked more like SD. It was awful. I switched to the SD channel and it was even worse. Earlier I watched the Bruins and Blackhawks and it looked pretty good. Certainly significantly better than the Canucks game...

    Hey guys, thanks for all your help so far. I trust asking you guys for answers alot more than calling Directv after what I've read here. The new customer offer has Starz and Showtime free for 3 months. I don't watch those channels. If you look at your bill for 24 months on their website...

    Auto bill pay?

    On directvs website they have an offer of a $100 visa prepaid card. The fine print says you have to sign up for auto bill pay at the time. I was wondering if anyone knows what their main motivation for that is? Is there any reason a customer should stay away from auto pay? I personally like...

    Questions for DTV installers

    Does an HDMI cable come with the standard installation or, do you get charged extra for that? Also I read where they allow you like two runs of cable at 125ft for the install. If I run my own cable, can I get say 1 cable of about 100ft as kind of replacement? I'm gonna run two lengths because I...

I have a non HD tv in another room I'd like to hook up to the same box. Is there a coax output I can use or, is...

    Pole size for new dish

    Hey guys, I was thinking about getting direct tv. If I decide to, I'm going to mount the dish on a pole. I don't want it attached to my house in any way. I'm perfectly capable of doing this myself so, I would have it all ready to go when the installer got here. I used the search feature and...
