    Receiver - HR34

    So can anyone tell me what the current HD receiver number is being issued by DTV? I just have tv in one room but I saw somewhere that it's not too hard to have another room receiver set up now. Been paying their monthly maintenance forever and maybe it's time to upgrade from my HR34. That's if...

    Receiver - HR34

    I haven't had any service done for a long time. I know it's time to have my dish looked at again and adjusted. However, today I was looking on the left side of my HR-43 (I think) receiver and I see that there is a fan behind the case on the left front. It's not moving. Is that a thermal fan that...

    Recorded Programs on Hr24-100

    Is there any way to copy programs that I have recorded on my Hr24-100 to another HD so I don't lose them when I upgrade my dvr? Dave

    Directv Cinema Connection, etc..

    Ok, as my tag says, I have a HR24-100. It has on demand, it is connected to my router via Cat 5, which connects it directly to the Internet. I see answers all over the place: you don't need the "cck" which just converts to "DECA".. More acronyms than my service days it seems. (don't know...

    Directv Cinema Connection, etc..

    Thanks a lot for that info. Actually the HR24-100 that I have is already ethernet connected so all I need to do is plug in the cable and they can keep their Cinema kit. I suspect they try to sell it in the hopes of one adding additional setups in other rooms. While all of my tvs are wired in 4...

    Directv Cinema Connection, etc..

    So, my Hr24-100 shows that I need dish alignment and signals aren't up to par so I called to see what kind of deal I could get on an HR34 since I have been with them for 10+ years. Best deal they would offer was a free receiver upgrade to the hr34 but $100. for a Directv Cinema Connection kit...

    What is DIRECTV's new GENIE?

    Thanks, the only thing that interests me is the ability to record more than two shows at once, thus my need for the h34.

    What is DIRECTV's new GENIE?

    Can someone tell me how this will affect my viewing (other than the ability to record 5 programs which I want)? I currently have 5 HDTV flat screens in various rooms and the rec room. I have an HR24 and I run that to an HDMI 1-8 splitter to feed all my tvs. I can control from any room with the...

    HDMI +Component connections - HR22 rcvr?

    Wow, fast answer (and good one). Thanks Jimbo!

    HDMI +Component connections - HR22 rcvr?

    Is it possible to connect both HDMI and component connections (to two different tvs) at the same time or does the HDMI cut the others out?? Reason I ask: I have a Toshiba projection tv connected to DVI +audio connections, and just bought an LCD 32" for another room that has HDMI connection and...

    Springfield/Holyoke OTA - AM21

    I have a Channel Master deep fringe vhf/uhf combo antenna with a channel master antenna amplifier with a channel master digital rotor underneath it. Before the AM21 addition, I plugged the antenna directly into the tv input and received channel 3's analog signal (believe the tower is in...

    Resolution Problem-Rcvr or TV?

    Good assumption! :) No more problems so far.

    Resolution Problem-Rcvr or TV?

    It must be a tv setup issue. I've made a few changes and we'll see how it goes. This has only been happening the past 4-6 months or so, and not all the time. Seems like it happened after an dvr update. However, looking at the manual, it says "suggested scan rates": 1080i, 480p, 480i...

    Resolution Problem-Rcvr or TV?

    This has happened on my HR20-100s and now my replacement HR22-100 (was another problem). "Sometimes" when I tune to a HD channel my tv screen turns bright white and the actual channel is faintly visible. Tuning to another channel fixes it to the proper resolution most times, or, if I go to...

    New Receiver: HR-23 HD-DVR

    I did that today, as you said. No problem at all. Very pleasant CSR, and I didn't even go up a tier or so. What I've found with D* over the years is if you're decent to them they reciprocate. Thanks for the advice. I know I could have done the same as the AM21 with my DTVPal units, but they...

    New Receiver: HR-23 HD-DVR

    Now that I think about it, I used my two DTV coupons and purchased two DTVPal boxes, which I received and just put on the shelf. Would that do the same as an AM21?

    New Receiver: HR-23 HD-DVR

    Didn't know about that. Great idea! Is it better to use a regular CSR or a Retention CSR? There are a lot of sub-channels around here.

    New Receiver: HR-23 HD-DVR

    I have the protection plan and had an appointment today because I had a tuner problem on my HR20-100S. Guy came and replaced all the connections, re-dithered the dish, worked on the system for 1 1/2 hours. To get a few channels, I would consistently get a 771 error, and if I swapped wires in the...

    Speaking of Audio Problems!

    Yes, those devices have stereo RCA jacks. I currently have an RF modulator that accepts the line out from the receiver and relays it to all of the (standard) tvs. So, I would use rca jack cables from the receiver to the sound reducer, and thus to the modulator, and rg-59 coax cable to the 4 tvs...

    Speaking of Audio Problems!

    One of our local channels received over D*, and the same over the air, is driving us nuts. If we set the volume for regular programming, it's fine, but come commercial time it truly *blasts* them/us out. I've written to them before and they say that there is no problem on their end. So, can...

    FOX NEWS in HD, when?

    Heh, maybe they lean more towards the liberal side because if they were being very conservative they would already have Fox in HD.

    Alignment by D*

    Thanks for the reply Jimbo. So Going by your last sentence, if the HR20-100 dies they will replace it (as it's under lease). Is that correct? As for alignment, I think I just called for my last as I've been reading the posts on alignment, and since I initially installed my Dish and D* dishes...

    Alignment by D*

    I had my second Slimline alignment in a year today. Seems one leg of the tripod was loose and the dish was moving. The tech told me that I should get the maintenance agreement as one trip for service equals the yearly maintenance charge (or close). My HR20-100 is leased as most all are...

    National Software Release: HR20 (0x0254) & HR21 (0x0255) & R22

    Strange-I got 0x254 yesterday morning-1:33am. Until receiving the update I had no problems other than the occasional rain fade. Now I cannot receive 284, 280, 278, 269, 266, 265, 255, 248, 247, 231, 229 and many more I'm sure. Some of those attempt to receive but badly pixelated. I can...
