    HR23 - tuner question

    On my HD Tivo, I had dual tuners, and the remote had a way to easily toggle between both tuners. I was able to pause on 1 tuner, while watching the other -- and then switch back. It was great for watching football games on my Sunday Ticket. I don't see how to do this on the HR23. I must...

    HR23 Question w/ OTA

    Admittedly, I am a novice who needs some clarification. I just swapped out my HD Tivo for an HR23. With the HD Tivo, I did not subscribe to HD Programming at all. The only HD content I obtained was through my OTA. This worked great as I was able to get ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in HD, at no...

    Which HD-DVR Is For Me?

    I currently have a Tivo HD10-250 and received a notice from Directv that they will replace my unit at no cost. My tv has a built in ATSC Tuner, and I currently obtain my HD content OTA with an outdoor antenna. I understand that the HR21 does not have a built-in OTA tuner, but does that...

    Picture in Picture Question

    I have an HD Tivo and an OTA. For some reason, I can't get my PIP to work. I can split the screen, but when I switch channels it switches both sides. I can use PIP when my dvd or vcr is working. I just can't get it to work with satellite. Am I doing something wrong here.

    Silly Question - connecting DVD/VCR to 10-250

    I have a 10-250, along with an OTA. I am having a hard time connecting my DVD recorder/VCR. I can't get any satellite channels through my VCR/DVD, and I can't record movies from the satellite receiver to my dvd burner. How do I do this? The back panel of the 10-250 has 2 satelitte...

    HR10-250 Remote Died - now what?

    My HR10-250 remote suddenly stopped working, and after troubleshooting with Directv customer support, they concluded that I need a new remote. Apparently, the DVR dropped the code, and the feature in the remote that is supposed to allow me to reset the code is not working. Directv told me...

    CBS NBC ABC FOX in HD

    I currently use an OTA to get CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX in HD. Lately, I have been getting a lot of frozen pixels on my recordings to my HD-DVR (tivo). Can I now get the network channels in HD from direct tv (instead of OTA). I live in Dallas. Thanks.

    Does anyone know if the DVR has extra inputs that allow me to connect a second receiver to the unit so that I could pump music/tv outdoors. Thanks

    I now have an OTA - Now what?

    I have an HD-Tivo with an OTA. The onscreen guide shows my local channels, followed by the same local channel with an "-1". My installer told me that this represents the local channel being received via OTA. Is there anything else I need to do in order to capture HD on these stations...

    Emergency Help needed

    Does it matter where the OTA is placed on my roof. My installer is afraid of heights, and does not want to place the OTA near the dish. He recommends a low spot that seems to be blocked by trees. The other option he is telling me is a wide open spot that sit smack in the middle of my view...

    Is OTA worth it?

    I just ordered an HD-TIVO w/ and OTA. The only reason I want an OTA is to pull local channels in HD. I live in dallas so my understanding is that we would be among the first to get HD locals broadcast through the satellite. Questions: 1. When are HD locals expected to roll out 2...

    Sunday Ticket Super Fan Question

    Assuming I have an HD receiver, do you need to be an HD subscriber in order to get the Sunday Ticket Super Fan, or can I get it with a simple TC programming option (no other HD). I originally posted this in the Directv Forum. Now I see that this is probably where it belongs. Any help?

    Any new pricing models for *D?

    I have been waiting to subscribe to *D until their Sunday Ticket promotions begin to take shape. I have been hearing that *D will also roll out new pricing models that will allow me to lease a HD DVR instead of shelling out big money to buy what is very quickly going to become an outdated...

    Does this approach make any sense

    I am researching my Home theater solution. At this point, I am not interested in subscribing to HD content. However, I do want to capture HD OTA. DVR and NFL Sunday ticket are also must haves. I am considering the following: Purchase a tv with a built in tuner, purchase an antenna to...

    Do I need a land-line for NFL Sunday Ticket

    I am in the process of moving, and I am planning to switch to Direct tv w/ tivo (maybe HD) and also pick up the sunday ticket programming. At the same time, I am trying to eliminate my land-line telephone and switch to VoiP (Vonage). I was told by direct tv that I need a land-line in order...

    Ota Hd

    If I have an integrated HDTV and an OTA antenna, is this enough to receive HD broadcasts from local channels? I will be subscribing to Direct tv in the spring, but at this point cannot purchase both HD and Tivo. My thinking is to go with the 3 LNB dish with Tivo, and an OTA antenna which...

    Maybe a Silly Question

    I am a total newbie who is getting ready to purchase Direct tv w/ Tivo. I want to make sure that I will be able to connect my dvd recorder to the receiver and burn dvd's from shows that I have recorded. I am assuming this is possible since tivo already sells a standalone unit with a...
