    HR24 / H24 CE Release 6/18 0x3EF

    Well not since they did my upgrade but before that I was always doing ce's without a swm. As far as I know having or not having one shouldn't stop download of a ce.

    Well problem still exists where streaming 16:9 videos the HR24 squezes it to 4:3 shape. Happens with media share or PlayOn.

    Is there a differece in black levels?

    Is there a difference in black levels between using an Hdmi and component cables with the Hr24's? I thought I read somewhere that over Hdmi it might not but can't find the thread now.

    Question for those who use Direct2PC

    There are some hotkeys but I don't know them. The play back bar can be clicked to jump to a spot. Controls have a jump forward and back button. Someone else will have to answer the last part as I don't know..

    Just ordered HR24

    I think you need a Dr if you were able to use the holes in the HR24 LOL. They can do wonders with grafting and such these days.

    Just ordered HR24

    Oh at least to me these 24's are actually performing the way they claimed the earlier units were supposed to but never did. Now if there where 6 things on at the same time to take full advantage, hehe.

    Just ordered HR24

    Well finally got my upgrade/install done late yesterday. I think I came out okay. Installer showed with 2 new Hr24's, put a new dish up, wired up deca and the bridge, added my Hr22 to the mix. Price seemed to go back and forth and I had to make a call this am to talk with a super. First they...

    Just a basic UPS suggestion?

    Interesting. We have a KilloWatt toy, roomy picked it up for curiosities sake. Anyway he wanted to see and our HR 22 seemed to be reading at 50. We have the additional AM-21 tho and I'd wondered if that wasn't adding to things. He said it didn't seem to drop its consumption when he turned the...

    Just a basic UPS suggestion?

    Well since I was only worried about powering the DVR and the SWiM power deal I got the smaller one: ?365-joule rating Absorbs a high quantity of energy for improved performance. ?550VA (330W) capacity with up to 65 minutes of battery backup time That should be enough power for just the...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Okay, let me see if I have things right. They will put a gadget on my dish so that all the signals go thru one cable. That cable goes to a special splitter and wires are then ran to the rooms I want DVR's in. Then in one room a Swm, i think its called, is put in line before the cable goes to one...

    USB ports on HR24

    Yep it just piggybacks with the DVR. When I first got mine was all worried as I'd maxed out plugs and was worried what I had to undo something. Speaking of which, concerning the AM21. Does anyone know what its power draw is? I have a gadget that measures the power drawn and with just the...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Yeah, I discovered that right after I asked but forgot to update my post. It's okay and I'll deal with it. The big problem is when someone wants to get one from DTV. They swapped my old 20 for a 22 a while back and I had to fight tooth and nail to get one.

    I've liked ours. Heard that some of the newer models are using LED now. Be nice if they could come up with an LED replacement that would work with the older models.

    MRV and DECA confusion

    Well I bit the bullet today and called DTV. Supposedly because of being so long time with em and stuff by the time the lady finished placing my order I think I'm coming out ahead. It looks like I'm only going to get billed a $49 install charge and no charge for a second unit at all plus a...

    Instructions to get MRV (whole home DVR) activated for ethernet

    Okay am new on this stuff and trying to wrap my brainpan around it. Right now I only have the one HR-22. I do have it connected to a ether hub to my home network so I can use the DTV2PC app. I have seen enough ppl comment on how great the new 24's are and wanted one so I just called and...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Okay just got off the phone and think I'm set. She said if I would do the multi-room deal then get the 24. Actually she said they might replace my 22 with a 24 as well. If they do I lose some series recordings but will have 2 HR-24's and she said afterwards could just send one back. Plus, since...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    LOL, happy now? Avatars just never were a big deal to me. Anyway since I like to ask stupid questions it should fit :) EDIT: As to the whole "add another 2 years" issue thats really not a big deal for me as I'm fairly certain DTV is where I'm going to stay. I have tried a bunch of services...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    How do I go about this. I think my 2 year commitment is actually up but not sure. If I want to get a 24 do I buy it watch off everything on my old dvr then hook up the new one and call DTV to switch it or is it more complicated.

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Okay, so if I'm understanding things right if I leave the old SD version set to record MSNBC shows those would be mpeg2 and actually take more space than the hd version?

    Just a basic UPS suggestion?

    Well, like I said in my case, I don't need anything that will keep an amp/tv/DVR running. I mainly need it so that the darn DVR doesn't reboot every time the power dips for a sec. I went ahead and ordered the smaller one and will hope for the best.

    Just a basic UPS suggestion?

    Okay, well summer is about to hit and in my area we often get little power blips, at least thats what I call em. Basically the power goes out or flickers just enough to cause my HR-22 to reboot, the TV and amp half the time don't even seem to go off at all. Anyway I keep saying I'm going to get...

    HR20 HR21 HR22 R22 HR23 CE Release 5/21

    Seems like some of the stuff is trickling in. I know yesterday more channels were showing movie images as opposed to the DTV logo and now , while it doesn't matter for me, the parental ratings stuff is turning up. My guess is they changed some formating or something so that sort of info is just...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Strange, I guess I have to recreate my recording schedule. For example my one for recording Morning Joe still works but when I looked at todays recording this morning its only grabbing the non-hd version.
