In Windows? No.

Can I use a Dish formatted external HDD with Direct TV? I get error code 75-137 when I try. I formatted the drive in windows and still get the same error code. I'm using the USB not SATA if that's the problem. I know the drive is good. It's a 320GB drive.

I was told by the installer that the signal was weak and that was the problem. I tweaked the dish and got the signal up to what should be acceptable so we'll see what happens. I never watch live TV. I record to the DVR then burn to DVDs. It doesn't look like a HDD problem to me. There are no...

I thought it just started recently but I watched a movie from July last night and it had the same problems. The recordings don't have HDD errors. I can move them from the receiver to an external drive and back. It's the sat signal that's the problem.

It's audio/video both. I see it in DVD recordings made from the DVR. If I go back and play straight from the DVR the same bad spots that are in the DVDs are on the DVR recording. I've called support, they think it's the HDD which I don't think it is. I'm on my fourth 722K now. If no one else is...

I keep getting bad spots in DVR recordings on my 722K. Sometimes there's an audio hum followed by the audio/video cutting out for a second or two and sometimes the A/V just cuts out without the buzz. It happens on multiple channels. There's nothing blocking the dish. Does anyone else see this...

Got Platinum a couple of weeks ago. Got Starz today. I looked through the guide at Starz channels for a couple of days, didn't see a thing. Hopefully they will have something better in the future than what I saw.

I couldn't get Starz, they claim it's coming for whatever that's worth, but I did get Platinum free for 3 months. There's more on there than there was on HBO/Showtime.

Newegg has HDD/docking stand combo deals on a regular basis. Just watch bensbargains.net.

The new Panny plasmas properly calibrated use about the same amount of power as a comperable size standard LCD. The days of high power consumption for plasmas are gone, at least with the Panasonics. Here's a 50" 1080p Panny for $800...

I've heard that surge protector blame many times before, I've yet to see it actually be true. Maybe if it's a cheapo and not functioning properly.

HDTVs definitely have audio sync issues. Usually not so much when using the TV's internal speakers, obviously the TVs have an audio delay to compensate for the video delay, but when using a receiver for audio there's always audio sync issues, at least with every HDTV I've used and that's been...

A receiver with adjustable audio delay does work. After a while you get to know where it needs to be set for different inputs/channels. That's where the adjustable part comes in. It can be a pain in the rear constantly adjusting the delay but it beats the alternative. I've pretty much just found...

A receiver with adjustable audio delay is a must have these days. Especially with HDTVs that have a slight video delay due to the video processing.

Agree. It's buried on my current TV also. My last TV, same brand, had a CC key on the remote. I've got my universal setup with a macro for CC but it would still be a lot better with a dedicated key on the remote.

If there is I couldn't find it. Add to that no sorting the free material and the new setup BLOWS.

You are talking DVR recordings? I get garbled CC on DVD recordings I make because of the stabilizer box that has to be used to record premium channels. It doesn't happen on DVR recordings as far as I know. I don't use it too often so I don't know if it always works.

The reboots were before the new software which was only two nights ago like I already stated. The reboots were shortly after the receiver was hooked up around 3 weeks ago. I've had no problems since the update but unlike everyone else I hate the update. The only thing I ever used online for...

I'm on my third 722k and it's rebooted at least twice in the 2-3 weeks I've had it. The first two rebooted randomly too. No, I don't have the OTA module. Weird part is I haven't had any problems since the update I hate but it was only last night.

Just watch Bensbargains.net. On the right side you can sort results by internal and external. You can click the history tab on any deal and see what it's sold for in the past.

Is there a way to sort the free content only like there used to be? I can't figure it out.

No, you can't just get HBO alone anywhere. Back in c-band days you could. Not in the digital age.

I figured the IR sensor was just cheap. If I owned the receiver I'd replace it. I don't have an OTA module. I don't record anything OTA so I don't need one. Does anyone here ever do manual DVR timers? Sometimes I'll do a manual timer so I can get multiple episodes of a series without timer...

HDDs on the Toshibas can be easily replaced. The first gen Toshiba, XS32, supposedly had a black level problem, I have one on the way so I'll see. Some people say they see it and some say they don't. It was fixed in the second gen HDD recorders. The early Panasonics had the same problem big...
