I have a Genie DVR in my living room. I Have older HD (500 I think) DVR in the bedroom. I have heard that with the Genie receivers there can only be one DVR. True? Is it a technology issue? Th BR DVR is starting to have issues.

After years holding off AT&T from replacing my old DVR with the new Genie my time finally ran out. My old, trusty, receiver started having issues and since AT&T no longer supported it, I had to have the genie put in. It came with a RC73 remote. Now for my question. With my old remote I could...

My HR24 receiver is flaky and keeps powering off on its' own. Called tech. support and they ended up sending me a new (to me) receiver. My wife records old movies and watches them after I go to bed, or when I'm not home. Is there any way to copy them from the old receiver to the new one when...

I have an HR24-200 receiver. If I plug in an external hard drive I assume it will get formatted to correctly work with the DirecTV receiver. My questions are: will recordings on the internal HD remain intact? If/when I unplug the external HD, will the internal drive be reformatted? What...

The new menu downloaded about 2-3 weeks ago. Since then I've noticed that, on occasion, I will press the Select Button and nothing happens for up to 30-45 seconds. Not all the time, but sometimes. And it is not only from the Guide. I have had it happen from the ACTIVE screen trying to...

I just got the new Guide. So far I am OK with what I see. Here is a suggestion to DirecTV if they are watching. How about the choice, when selecting a program in the future, to have the receiver automatically switch to that program for viewing live in addition to the current recording only...

I have 2 HR24-200 receivers. When I look at the INFO screen, my Zip Code is set to 00000. How do I go about setting my Zip Code? My account information online is correct.

I switched to DirecTV a year ago. I found that there are features with DirecTV over DishNetwork that I liked. But there were features with DishNetwork that DirecTV doesn't have that I liked. I am getting to the point where the features with DishNetwork are starting to out-weigh the features...

Is anyone using the Acutrac III+ meter by Perfect Vision? First off, I am not an installer, but am somewhat technical in that I come out of the telecommunications field. I am not an expert on satellite technology, but not a novice either. Probably know enough to make myself dangerous. I am a...

I have a 1TB WD MyBook Essential USB2.0 external drive. I know it doesn't work when I plugged it into the USB port on the receiver (unless I did something wrong when I plugged it in or didn't do something.). I powered off the DVR, plugged in the WD drive into the USB port and powered on the...

Tech was here recently and replaced my Living Room H24 receiver. Now both of my H24's (Living Room and Bedroom) had RF Remotes. I was working and wasn't paying much attention to the Tech. He used the remote that came with the new DVR and took the old remote with the receiver. As it turns...

I am a fulltime RV'er and I just relocated to South Carolina for a month or so. I had DishNetwork for 10 years prior to switching to DirectTV in September. I never had an issue setting up my dish with DishNetwork. Like a dummy, I did not bother to look at the satellite signal screen prior to...

I recently changed to DirectTV from Dishnetwork. I was wondering why DishNetwork had channels in HD that DirectTV doesn't? Does the provider need to pay more for the HD programs? Specifically: My wife watches a show on E! Entertainment TV and I frequently watch DIY Channel. Both were in HD on...

Does anyone know of a PC (not MAC) program that can read the recorded programs from an EXT HD and put them on DVD? I recently disconnected DishNetwork and still had some programs still on my EXT HD that I would like to see.

i am having directv installed today. i have a bunch of movies on an external hard drive from dishnetwork. does anyone know if they will work with my directv reciever, when instaled?

I am a fulltime RV'er. I currently have DishNetwork. I am considering changing to Direct TV. I would get the Premier TV Package as well as HD programming. I spend 6 months of the year in PA. The other 6 months in TX and possibly SC. Here is my question: Can I use the same dish in both...

hi. so what's the deal. can I still use a 1000.4 in eastern PA for SD and HD? Shold I tryt he 1000.2 again? Last summer I could not get signal from 129 with the 1000.2 Also, When looking up the Azimuth, it sayd True = 235.5 / Magnetic = 247.4. Which is the correct to use? I usually start...

I have been in PA for the past year and have been using a 1000.4 dish (61.5, 72.7, 77). I have relocated to Texas for the winter. Yesterday I setup my 1000.4 dish and I am picking up all three satellites fine with good signal. I get all of my channels except for the NY locals (which I...

I work out of my home. I generally have my TV on and the channel set to one of the Sirius music stations. It seems after a few hours (maybe 4 or 5) the receiver seems to go thru a reset. Picture goes out, receiver lights go out, disk spins up, it sits for a while, then I get the screen...

So here is where I’m at. My service was already setup for 1 ViP622 and 2 antenna's (110/100 & 61.5). The new cards have been installed in the receiver for a fe months already. My Dish500 antenna went bad leaving me with only the 61.5 dish working. Service was very flaky at best as 110 and 119...

I have a ViP 622 with 2 TV's attached. I am using a Dish 500 for 110/119 and a 2nd for 61.5. I am getting ready to put on a new 1000.4 dish. Are there anythings gotchas to look out for? I got the new card a few months ago and it is installed.

Anyone hear anything or know anything of when/if DN is going to start broadcasting SpeedTV in HD? I am having Verizon service installed and DirectTV is part of their bundle (can't get FIOS where I am). I have had DN for many years and am otherwise happy with the service. BUT!!!!!!! I want my...

Is there a way to recover a program that was recorded and then deleted? I know it can be done on my PC. Does a DVR use similar methodolgy as FAT or NTFS on a computer?

I have a question with regards to the 129 bird. I have a dish 1000.2 with LNB's for 110, 119 and 129. I can pick up 110 and 119 but not 129 so I'm using a 2nd dish for 61.5. My question is, assuming I'm lined up for maximum signal on 119, if my dish all of a sudden starts picking up a signal...

this should be a simple question. I have a ViP622 receiver. It, and the TV, is located in an entertainment center. The shelves for aux equipment is located behind a cherry wood door. That is the only place I can put the receiver. However when the door is closed the receiver will not...
