    New HD GUI

    The Horrible Black Cloud Now with the new GUI software when I press almost any function key on the remote a big black cloud covers the bottom of the screen behind the SEEK BAR. What a revolting development. I like to SEEK in the FF or FR mode and still see the whole picture. If I use the...

    New HD GUI

    I hate the big black cloud that covers the bottom of the screen when you press a function key on the remote. I like to seek and see the whole picture at the same time!

    Place to Get a New Hard Drive

    Hauppauge 1212 Thanks Jimbo. At least I got the last part right. I have a Hauppauge 1212 that allows me to transfer Videos from my DVR to my computer in 1080i HD. That's right -- 1080i. The 1212 will not process 1080p signals, so when I download a 1080p video from DTV, I be sure that the...

    Place to Get a New Hard Drive

    What about if I get an HR34? Let me modify the question a bit. Suppose I get a HR34. Is there a way to transfer what's on the old HR24 to the new HR34? Or is there a external hard drive that will play the what was downloaded from the old HR24 to the new HR34? Thanks!

    Erase Latent Memory

    Here's an email I jut sent to DirecTV. "Please pass this email on to your software engineers. Thanks. I like to record "partials." For example I'm watching a movie I've seen before and I know a shot is coming that I want to save. Just the shot, not the whole movie. Here's the problem: In...

    The Infernal Top Banner and the Infernal Tme Status Banner on the Bottom.

    As you all probably know, when you tell your DTV DVR to play the entire contents of a folder sequentially by pushing the Start button, every time it goes from the end of one video file to the next one, the top information banner and the bottom time status banner appear over the beginning of the...

    Which is the Best DVD Recorder?

    My HR24 thread seems to have petered out. I've learned that perhaps the best way to back up a DVR is with DVD recordings. What DVD recorders do you all recommend? I've been looking at the Panasonic DMR-EZ28K and the Toshiba D-R570. Thanks.

    HR24 Deletes on its Own

    HR24 Deketes on its Own Jimbo, I guess I'm the OP. Sorry, I'm brand new. I'm not talking about VOD. My HR24 deletes regular programs on its own; actually meaning entire folders. What do you use to back up your DVR? I'm told a EHD won't work because the receiver will delete from it, also...

    HR24 Deletes on its Own

    Question for Jimbo "IF you change your EHD from one machine to a different one the DVR reformats the EHD so it can be used on the new box." I don't know what EHD means. Can you tell me more about changing the EHD to a different machine? Thanks!

    HR24 Deletes on its Own

    My DTV HR24 receiver deletes video files and folders all on its own. For example, sometimes when I delete a single video file, the HR24 will delete the entire folder the file was in. I’ve recently lost three folders that each had over 20 video files. My Recording Default settings are set to...
