Wow!! Thanks. That is actually a really cool product. I never heard of them. It would solve some problems and simplify some things. I'm going to keep my eye on one of these. Thanks.

Curoius Do you use this Terk with a TIVO? The fan doesn't cause interference? Ever since I got the TIVO, my A/V sender has been dog$hit. Maybe because it is an old model. Not sure. I have an old RCA. Just curious. Thanks.

I use both options I always used an RCA video sender to send video to my bedroom which happens to be upstairs. I used the video sender with a seperate remote extender. Recently, I was told about Diplexers by the DTV install man. Diplexing is also an option. It is a similar concept as running...

This is just a note and maybe a warning for anyone who uses an Audio-Video sender to get their satellite signal to different rooms in their house. They don't work really well with a DVR. At least not the R10 that I have. I think it must be the fan that is contsantly running on the DRV that...

Hi, I want to use a Diplexer to send the signal from my living room reciever up to my bedroom. I've done it before and I know you need two diplexers. During my recent Tivo install, the Diplexer at my junction box disappeared so I need to get a new one and re-hook it up. I'm just looking for...

Correct Yeah, I am looking to use existing stuff, or something cheap. I may just go with the suggestion of getting another peanut remote. I can probably get one off ebay for less then $20 bucks. Ideally, I would get a universal that has a sleep button. Seems stupid, but this is for my...

Thanks... Thank you. Any idea what that code is? Or, any idea where I can get an extra peanut remote? My guess is they rip you off for an extra remote, so it is probably just as easy to have the code for the Tivo. Thanks

yeah Right now, I have a sony Universal Remote. It is the one that came with my Sony TV that allows you to control a DSS too. However, I thought that didn't matter too much. I thought what mattered more, regarding the code, was the brand of the unit you were trying to control. Anyway, my...

Hi, I just got the DVR R10 and I want to program my Universal Remote to run the DVR. I will still use the DVR remote, but I also send the signal upstairs to our bedroom and I change channels from up there with a Universal Remote. Does anyone know which codes I need to use to program the...

What remote is it? What remote and what code did you use? Thanks

Because I am cheap I've never had s 2nd reciever and don't need one. I already have the set up necessary(remote sender, etc) so I'm not going to pay the $5/month if I don't have to. You provide great info though. So the question is, how do I program a Universal remote? I have a remote...

Agreed I guess that is what I dislike most about this thing. Whenever you use the menu, you lose the "big picture". There is never a part of the screen that you can always see. Anytime you sue the menu, you lose the picture. That is really the biggest thing that I dislike. I guess there...

Please forgive me Forgive my ignorance....but what is a UI..."user interface"? I think that is it. Thanks.

Yeah, maybe I just have to get used to it. It is that whole change thing I think that is bothering me. I can get used to the favorites being different, etc the one thing I really don't like though is the menu taking up the whole screen and not allowing you to watch TV while you're looking at...

In process Thanks. yeah, I've started that process already. Another guy is coming to supposedly complete the install tomorrow. This will be the 3rd install in less then a week. DTV will owe me a friggen' weeks vacation until this is done! I think they set up the escalation last night...

Thanks Thanks folks...I'll try programming the Universal Remote with an RCA code. Maybe it isn't that hard and I am just impatient. sitting down and reading directions is not a strong point:) So, maybe it is just me. Does anyone know if the Hughes DVR40 has any better of a menu...

Oh...got it right through DTV...I"m an existing customer and just did the upgrade. Local installer, DTV sent out. Don't have the name.

Thanks for all the info I did know from the get go that this guy was goofy. He was super nice, but he was crazy. At one point, he literally said to me, "this is not my best work"....now who the hell says that to a customer. This guy ran wire that should have taken about 1 hour and he was at...

Yeah, I know I'm just not real confident they'll be willing to help me out. Plus, the install is not complete yet because the second line still doesn't work. So, I don't know if I should wait until the install is finally done right(hopefully) before I call up and raise he%%.

Don't go there... First, thanks for the info. My old sony was a standard reciever. I just "tried" to get Tivo within the last 2 weeks. I have had a terrible experience with the install. I've had two installers out and the 2nd line STILL is not working. Plus, when the second installer ran...

I had the same standard sony reciever since I went to DTV in 2001. I've liked it and never had a problem. I just decided to upgrade to Tivo through directv and started using the R10 yesterday. I'm not sure that I am a big fan of it it. DTV told me that they are the ones actually...

Thanks Guys I'm going to go ahead and get one then. I've just had a real bad install experience and I need to get through that first. then I can figure out the phone line.

I just had a bad experience w/ my DVR install. Job was very sloppy and my 2nd line still doesn't work. My house also has at least one hole in it now in a really stupid spot that wasn't necessary. Any idea how to issue a formal complaint to DTV.

Hi I am getting a Tivo and was planning on using one of the RCA type wireless phone jacks rather then running phone wire. I know I have read that these can be used for Tivo. However, when the install guys came today they told me the wireless phone jacks don't work with Tivo. Is this true...

Hi, This is a basic setup question for a DVR with 2 tuners. Obviouslly, the one line is a no brainer. My challenge is coming with installing the second line. I currently only use 1 line. I don't use any other LNB's, so I have the capacity. My question is do I need to physically run the...
