This answer is no help at all. It just points to the send your greetings thread. There is one post that mentions listening to a specific radio station if you happen to be in Michigan. The email sent out makes it sound like it is one the web? Is it not on the web? Are we reading more into it than...

I hate to say it, but AT&T SUCKS! Their Uverse was known for over-compression of the HD programming. They have done nothing but screwed up what once was great PacBell DSL service. It is now slower than ever, and constantly losing one feature after another. Their cell phone service is amongst the...

PS3 playing Far Cry2 ... it ROCKS. Can't put it down. Only 50% completed and been playing since February, a little bit here and there, sometimes all day. Great graphics, love the open world, go where you want when you want. There are organized tasks, but you don't have to follow in specific...

Separate Video, more commonly known as S-Video, and sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Super Video" and also known as Y/C, is an Analog signal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals, luma (luminance) and chroma (colour). This...

I switched from TWC to D* in July 2008 and could not be happier. The HD picture quality of D* is so much better than that which I experienced on TWC. I have not had any problems with my HR021 HDDVR since day 1. I enjoy being able to select programs to record while I'm at work, both from the...

FIOS and fiber are the same thing though. Verizon does not hold a lock on the term FIOS which just stands for Fiber Optic Service.

OK, I'll buy that. Although AT&T and TW Cable both claim that they provide FIOS service, just not mentioning that it is only to the node.

Is the FIOS available to you via a cable company, phone company such as AT&T, or Verizon? In my area, we have the choice of AT&T or Time Warner. Both of them are jokes compared to D*. I wish I was in a Verizon area so that I could switch to their FIOS service ... but being in an AT&T area...

I would not think that a USB cable connection would work as the PC will only recognize a hard drive formatted in its own protocol. The computer will not recognize anything formatted outside its own operating system. If you connect a sata drive to the satellite dvr via e-sata, the first thing...

I can only speak for myself. Why did I go with D* over E* two weeks ago when I finally decided to dump TWC? D* had more HD channels from what I could see. They also offered much more in their packages at lower prices. My wife and I like all of the Discovery and educational type channels ... and...

Fair enough, except, TWC also charged us $5 extra for the two extra TV's. So that extra $5/month is across the board.

My wife returned our Time Warner DVR today. In the TWC store, they had ads about getting two more channels in HD very soon ... let's see, that will bring them here to 15 channels instead of 13 ... as compared to D*'s 45 ... hey!!! That brings D* down to only 3 times as many :rolleyes:

AMEN!!! They just lost another customer today when my wife called to cancel our TWC service after having D* installed yesterday. They asked her why ... she said her husband wanted MORE HD ... and I got it too ... 46 channels as opposed to TWC's 13. They said they are increasing their number of...

This issue is resolved and I'm a happy camper again: Actually, it happened when I attempted to enter the codes to allow the remote that came with the HR21 to work with the TV and AVR. Although I use a Harmony 880, my wife prefers the old fashioned way of multiple remotes. So I was trying to...

Thanks for your reply. Everything is properly set up in the Denon receiver. It actually worked for about 10-15 minutes before losing the DD input signal. The Denon will auto detect any input signal and automatically play whatever comes in. It has worked with the TWC Moto DVR for a couple of...

I was just installed yesterday, a new customer, with an HR21-100 which did an auto-upgrade to software 0x255 on installation. It is connected to a Sony 46W3000 via HDMI, the picture is fine. It is also connected directly HR21 to a Denon AVR1803 receiver via digital coax. The sound on the TV is...

Well, we have it. It was touch and go for a bit, the installer wasn't sure he could get a good signal as our mounting locations were a bit limited. We not only live in a condo, 4 units per side of building, 2 up and 2 down on either side of a center entryway ... but I am on the Board of...

Well RACJ2, keep in mind that you will mostly see complaints on line on these boards. How many of those things are out there that you don't hear about because they do work? I'm sure that number is quite a bit larger than the complaints you do see ... the squeeky wheel is the one you hear most...

RAJC, you got it. I get mine this Friday. Of course, you will have to give me some time to get those recordings done. I'm on my 3rd TWC DVR though, the first two having more serious issues right off the block ... like not saving the channel guide, needing constant reboots. In fact, the first...

I didn't know that about that one. But Gamefly is actually pretty good. You keep the games as long as you want, and their selection is pretty good. And if you like a game, you can buy it at a discounted price and they ship you the original box and paperwork. I bought a couple of games from them...

I am a 61 year old gamer. Drake's Fortune is GREAT! The graphics are fantastic, and it is part shooter, part puzzle solving. And yes, you can find walkthroughs on the web that you can download, or copy/paste, for free to give you a hint of what to do next when you hit that stumped part. Just...

I concur 100% with Don's assessment. The Macbook will give you the best of both worlds now, allowing you to take full advantage of both Mac OS and Windows programming on one system. That is excellent advice.

"Value" RAM means low cost chips are used. There is a difference in quality between "good" memory and "value" memory. I worked at Viking Components supporting their RAM and memory cards and modems. Viking's server memory was the best there was. Their "Value" memory was definitely lower quality...

Have you considered dumping the bad program, Norton? Personally, I have avoided Norton for years. I have friends who experienced other issues with Norton to the point that they gave up. Norton has been overkill for years on end, it was a dangerous program even for the experienced user, let alone...

Thank you Jef from another newbie. The other post's suggestion to search for the terms brings up 500 hits on "BBC" ... that's a lot of posts to look through to find out what they even stand for ... other than British Broadcast System of course. I didn't try SWM after that as I'm sure there would...
