    purchasing older box

    Remember even if you purchase a box you will still have the monthly fee for it--they just call it service fee instead of lease fee or receiver fee.

    internet with HR 21 same as HR 20?

    I have an external internet connection for the HR 20 I was sent an HR 21 to replace it so I could get 3D (asked for HR 24 wouldn't give it) Do I need to keep the external internet connector thing or does this model have it internal?

    NO SYNC SIGNAL

    I tried the component and it works so I guess something is wrong with the HDMI hook up. I remember now that both the hdmi and component was hooked up by the installer, not feeling I needed both I used the component on my new blu ray. There isn't some internal setting I have to do to make the d*...

    NO SYNC SIGNAL

    I'll have to dig out some components-- will try it tomorrow. Although the HDMI was working fine until I installed the new lamp. Also installed the blu ray at the same time, so I disconnected it to see if that caused the problem with D* but D* still didn't work.

    NO SYNC SIGNAL

    NO SYNC SIGNAL

    I just tested my blu ray and it works--I can see the picture. When I switch off to the directv receiver I get the message again. I have seen the NO SYNC SIGNAL message occasionally when the satellite picture lost signal and then reset.

    NO SYNC SIGNAL

    I replaced the lamp in my Hitachi 50v720 50inch rear projection TV and now I get the message on the screen "NO SYNC SIGNAL" . I tried rebooting and resetting the directv hd dvr H20 but nothing changed. Any ideas?

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    Thank you! That's very clear! I have all connections open on TV2 so I will just get components long enough to reach--it's only about 8 feet down and through the wall--and hook it up. Thanks again.

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    Couldn't I just put a splitter on the coax coming from the satellite to the Deca to the receiver and plug in the coax coming from the other TV?

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    Looks like HDMI, components and composites are ALL connected from HR20 to TV. Do I need them all?

    How are HR 24's better than 20's

    Yes I have the DECA and MRV. Would have liked to have had the HR 24 for faster response to remote. Perhaps getting the RF remote will be helpful. Anywhere to get them cheaper than Direct's 25.00 charge?

    How are HR 24's better than 20's

    Oh! that's a big deal as I was planning on getting a 3D TV in the future. So at that time I would have to upgrade to a HR 24 I guess. bummer. What benefit is there in "faster running"?

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    OK. It sounds like I can either take a set of red white yellow and plug in to back of TV1 that has DVR (no red yellow white spots available on back of DVR) thru the wall and plug in to r-y-w- slots on back of TV2 or same with red blue green; or get an HDMI splitter where I think I would take the...

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    OK so I looked up Component and Composite and it seems like they are two different kinds of connections other than HDMI so I would need these two connections to run to the other TV? I'm really confused.

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    OK, I'm not a techie so please talk to me as the idiot I am! I see two open connect places on the back of the receiver. One says OFF AIR IN and the other says SATELLITE 2. Would I connect the cable from the TV in the bedroom to one of those? Or do I need to use a splitter on the cable going to...

    How are HR 24's better than 20's

    The just set me up yesterday on a new install with two HR 20's. I asked for 24's and he said he didn't have any available but that the 20 was just the same now that they added an attachment to get internet. Is that true? Would I get a better picture with the 24? The HD picture seems very...

    hooking up tv with no receiver

    Just received Directv setup two rooms with HR20's HD DVR's(asked for 24's, said he didn't have any) with Whole house. I have a third set in the bedroom that shares a wall with the TV in the family room. I had had Dish multi room with that TV but now it has nothing but a cable running from it to...

    complete signal loss--seconds at a time

    No I don't have OTA at all. It's funny that if it is a bad part like the LNB then you'd think it would happen all the time, but it will happen for two days straight and then not at all for a week then start in again.
