Hi Guys, Ever since the latest update to the box (HR54),our list of recorded shows is really bad. By that I mean that sometimes I can see some of the recorded stuff and other times it is not there. Common sense would tell you that if you tell it to show all recordings, then everything will...

Hi Guys, Just activated the new HR54. It went through a software update, the usual self checks but ends up back on a screen telling me to activate it. Did a red button re-boot, a refresh but still nothing. Checked my account and all the number are correct and it is listed on the...

Hi Guys, A bit of an odd question maybe...........going to hook up a HR54 and 1 client to 2 newer TV's with HDMI input, that is the easy part. We have an older (2000) Panasonic CRT TV in our basement that only has a coax and S video inputs. Is there any way for me to either add a client...

Hi Guys, Currently have a HR24 with a SWM dish...had it for yrs now. The wife wants to record 2 shows and watch another liveat the same time. I think a HR54 will do the trick. if I'm right, will the current dish work if I simply swap out the HR24 for a 54?? No desire to have the whole...

Hih Guys, I have an HR24 receiver in the living room, a small LCD tv in the kitchen connected with component cables and an old big CRT type tv in the basement that I connected by splitting (RCA cable) the signal for the tv in the kitchen. Everything works great. Now, the Wife is asking...

Hi Guys, Wondering if I can "legally" take my second receiver to my folks winter vacation home for a few weeks. They have an aimed dish there and we would go there a few weeks before they arrive to open up things. I know that our locals will not work but will DTV know about it and I get...

Hi Guys, Since it seems that we are having issues with our HR24 and either need to try to get D* to exchange it, it has me thinking that a HR34 would be a good upgrade--even though I realize I would need to pay full price for it. The only reason would be to have the ability to record 5...

Hi Guys, After several days of watching live tv, all seems fine now (after several RBR's and a system test that corrected 160 errors) HOWEVER, any recordings are still pausing every now and then (2-5 seconds). Does the same thing either with a recording or if I pause live tv for a few...

Hi Guys, Around 3 am (eastern time zone), the receiver updated itself. When I turned it on just now there was no picture--just a blank screen for several minutes. A scheduled recording was not recording either. I did a red button re-boot and after going through the self checks all is...

Hi Guys, Had a weird thing happen tonight. TV was fine all day and after we come back from dinner all the HD channels are missing from the guide and the picture is definitely SD. I do a system reset and still the same thing. Scratch my head for a minute or 2 and then look at the menu again...

Hi Guys, Just curious, since all our receivers have been leased units for several yr now, do we ever actually own them or are they forever the property of D* ?? I assume they are. Thanks,

Hi Guys, Temporilly, I want to hook up a new HR24 receiver to an old (but already aimed) 18" round dish. Helping out a friend that bought and activated the receiver at their vacation home (DTV installed it). Now they are home and want to just get up and running with the old sd round dish...

Hi Guys, My Parents vacation home has recently been upgraded to an HD DVR receiver and the correct dish (Slimline)--installed by DTV. Each year we take our old second SD receiver to their place (after they have left and taken home their receiver) and hook it up. Of cource I call DTV and...

Hi Guys, Up to a week ago I had a no name 19" tv in the kitchen getting signal through RCA audio cables and an S-video line from our HR24 while the main tv used the HDMI out port. Worked well (not Hd of course though). Well, the cheapo no name tv died and I picked up a new Samsung 22"...

Hi Guys, Loving the HR24 and the HD that you all helped me aim the other month. Something weird is happening though in the last 2 weeks or so. When we change chanels it is taking anywhere from 3-10 seconds for the picture to appear. All we have during this time is a grey screen with the...

Hi Guys, Wanting to upgrade from our current SD receiver. It will replace our existing one receiver/tv set up. Ther will only be the one receiver/one tv in the house. 1. What dish will I need fro the HR24 receiver and will it require a B band converter? 2. Can I still use my...

Hi, For the past several months the colors on the screen (all channels) will momentarily change to all reds,greens,blues. This will typically last for 10-15 seconds and then clear instantly. During this the sound is fine and the picture sharp. It will happen every 15-30 minutes or...
