    HR22 DVR Viewing Locks Up System

    Once per day now after watching the DVR. Both happening in recording and watching what's in the hour and a half buffer. DVR had been experiencing video stutter here and there for about a month. Total lockups now the past three days. Called Directv and was told the software department would get...

    OSD on Denon receiver not showing up after last directv update

    My last Directv update for my HR22 was at 2am on 5/22/12. Since then, my Denon AVR-1712 receiver has mostly not shown the OSD (volume bar, onscreen display). This is ONLY on the HR22 input. I have changed the input number, and the problem followed along the input. All other devices work well...

    Dish Video Quality Compared to Directv?

    Trying to save some money since things are tight right now. Saved $35 per month getting Time Warner cable. However, the hd and sd video is noticeably worse than Directv. The picture is softer, darker, and just has less detail. No POP like Directv has. I also noticed some tiling (blocky...

    Exterior Installation Pictures, Anything Wrong here?

    Just went from Directv to Time Warner cable. HD picture not as good as Directv, and considering Dish now because of that reason and a couple of others. Directv is too expensive considering I can save $35 or $22 per month going elsewhere. Anyway, the Time Warner Cable guy (a contractor in a...

    Directv to Dish, Replacing equipment

    A couple of questions for the experienced Dish and Directv professionals: Will the Dish Network installer remove my Directv dish off of my roof? Will the Dish Network dish assembly fit in the same holes as my Directv dish? Does Directv come and pick up their dish and boxes personally?

    Directv contract is up! What would you do? Any good deals out there?

    Wanted FIOS, can't get it :( I disliked TimeWarner cable last time I had them, but they seem to have all the HD channels now. But, cable really ticked me off, so this is a last resort. DISH seems fine, but $15 per month off for a year was all I could find, meh! Will Directv give me...

    $156.17 to install MRV

    I called Direct's 1-800 number and was told $156.17 to install everything, and that it had to be paid with a credit card over the phone before scheduling. Then, $3.00 per month. She said that they could include on demand, so that it could be used without me hooking up my cable to my router...

    Will MRV (whole home DVR) extend a contract?

    ...Especially, if they have to send someone out to "upgrade" you, right? This October, my 2 years is up. If I get someone to upgrade me to multi-room, will this extend my contract? Anyone have experience with this one yet?

    Audio stutter on UHD channel 74

    Started noticing it last night on Spy Game every 3 or 4 minutes minutes. Now, about 12 hours later, I am noticing it on UHD every 10 minutes or so. Anyone else? If it's a signal issue on my end, I wonder what satellite and transponder number Universal HD is on?

    Slimline 5LNB vs Slimline 3LNB

    I was given an option to change my Slim 5LNB to a 3LNB. Apparently, only the LNB needs to be swapped out, dishes are the same. I am having problems with my MPEG-4 720P broadcasts (a different thread). My LiL 720P broadcasts are unaffected with regards to my problem (7 ABC & 11 KTTV), but the...

    On the 2 year contract with HD receivers

    I only signed up with D* a couple of months ago. Does the 2 year contract early termination fee of $480 get reduced $20 per month? Example, if I cancel in 1 year, will my termination fee be $240? I just had a wall fish done the other day, does that count as an extension of my 2 year...

    Proper satellite signal strengths

    I've been told that on 99 and 103, you should be in the 85+ range. I'm all over the place on 103: 87, 77, 83, 74, 85, 73, 82, 72, 87, 74, 84, 72, 89, 80 As you can see most are around 85+ but 6 are not. Is this acceptable? I've had D* out here 3 times recently, and the dish was "peaked"...

    Does anyone know what this is and cause?

    Attached is a picture of what is happening. This is on pause. The picture splits and goes back together in about 1/2 a second. It's a very quick stutter when watching live TV. This happens every 15 - 60 minutes on atleast two HD channels. I've noticed this with two different receivers...

I tried calling and cannot get to this "escalation" department. Reps keep saying they can't transfer me, yet here I am on day 3...

    HR22 and video stutter with FoxNews HD

    Anyone else getting a video stutter every 15 minutes or so on FoxNewsHD? It's very quick, about 0.5 seconds. It normally happens towards the bottom of the screen, but sometimes the top section. I used super slow mode and it looks like the picture is splitting in two horizontally and then back...
