    Remote controls not working with Netflix

    We have a new Hopper 3. Last night we lost signal in a rain storm, so I turned on Netflix to The Godfather. The movie started playing great, but I couldn't control it at all. Select button, pause, etc. did nothing. I couldn't get control back until I turned the Hopper off and then on again. I...

    Upgrade advice, please

    Hi all, I currently have three TVs hooked up to three DVRs: HR34-700, hooked up to main TV HR24-100, basement HR24-200, bedroom We do not have a 4K TV right now. It is possible we could purchase one in the next year or two to replace our main Samsung. I don't think we will be adding more TVs...

    Replacement fan for HR24-100

    Thanks, that's a good idea, but I was hoping to be proactive and have a replacement fan on hand when (if?) the current one dies again. I was betting others have had their fans go bad. That seems like a common failure point. I don't want to lose all my recordings over a silly fan.

    Replacement fan for HR24-100

    I've been battling overheating issues for a while. I added dual fans on my cabinet and that seemed to help right away. That lasted a week and then regular overheating. So I opened the box this weekend and found that the fan wouldn't run. The fans are powered with a three-pin connector on the...

    Finding Freed On Demand Movies through website... need help

    Okay, so all I could find is this page: DIRECTV: TV Listings: Movies which you can scroll down and see a section called Free On Demand, but only 6 titles at a time show up! And titles get truncated if they're too long. What am I missing? If that's the only view of free programming, I have to...

    Finding Freed On Demand Movies through website... need help

    I was just searching for an answer to this. Does anybody know how to find free On Demand movies either through the web interface or the TV interface (or maybe a phone app)? If I have to see a billion pay options every time I browse for a movie, well, it won't be very useful. I don't want to pay...

    What cable type (coax/ethernet) do I need to run from router to DVR for on-demand?

    Got my DECA from ebay yesterday ($23) and installed it in 10 minutes. What a snap! The DVRs were recognized right away and I was downloading VOD stuff right away. Thanks a lot for the advice! :up

    What cable type (coax/ethernet) do I need to run from router to DVR for on-demand?

    Wow, what luck! Any downsides to wiring it up like that??? The SWS-8 doesn't look like it costs that much. (Thanks for the help with the terminology HA!) Again, I really appreciate the help, folks. :D

    What cable type (coax/ethernet) do I need to run from router to DVR for on-demand?

    Ok, I have a picture to show what's going on in the basement. I just realized today that I already have a coax cable going from the router upstairs to the same area I have the SWM in the basement. DOH!!! Anyway I guess I'll have to hook this up myself. I ordered a powered DECA on ebay today...

    What cable type (coax/ethernet) do I need to run from router to DVR for on-demand?

    Hi, I had DirecTV installed a couple months back and love it so far. I have two DVRs (the HR24 I think, whatever is the new one) and one regular HD box, all are connected using the whole home DVR. I had requested the $25 install of the internet connection package, but the installer said there...
