    ff to time markers

    Is there a way to ff to a time marker or is the quickest way to advance just 300x and wait till it gets there?

    cabling for 722 versus 211

    If I want to upgrade a 211 to a 722 would there be any additional cabling required beyond just adding a simple splitter if I were just replacing the old box with a new one on a single tv?

    Just made switch from D to E

    Had Dish for 10 years before switching to D in 2007. Just placed the call to E. Always preferred Dish equipment. I ordered a 211 and plan to hook it to an external hard drive. Hope that works as advertised. Feels good to be back. :)

    Why do you like the HR24 so much?

    Is speed the only difference between the HR24 and the earlier models? The only complaint I have with either my HR20 or HR21 is that DIRECTV has never corrected missing HD channels in the interface between FAVORITES and FILTER THE GUIDE (HGTV, COMHD, LIFEHD, HDTH, HDN, ABCFHD, HLMKHD still...

    in Minnesota ... which way to go?

    Moved from Seattle last year and my kids are homesick. I see that Seattle locals are available both through Shaw and Bell. Currently have directv. Am no longer under contract. Started looking into Canadian Sat just a few days ago. Are there factors to consider like PQ (both SD and HD) between...

    Does anyone know if there is anything in the works for a new HD user interface for the existing HR2x?

    Considering Dish - questions

    I left dish in 2007 after being with them for over 10 years. Dish corrected the reason I left when they replaced E5 at 129. I do miss my old 622 and Dish has really opened a significant lead in the HD programing I care most about. I don't dislike the Directv DVR's enough to make me leave as a...

    Calvary 1TB HDD

    Considering moving back to Dish. One big question is if the DVR's will support the Calvary 1TB external HDD's that I currently am using with my D DVR's. Also I remember way back when E was beginning to allow DVR's there was talk of being able to daisy chain HDD's together. Did that ever happen?

    New HD tip offs?

    Just wondering if D adds HD (prior to D12 going live) if there is any source we can follow that lets us have a hint ahead of time (like the Uplink Center for Dish)? I know there are rumors but it would be nice to see something.

    hr2x, any way to hide channels

    I would like to hide all the ppv channels and premium channels I don't subscribe to. Is there any way to do it?

    Has anyone else noticed this problem?

    After setting up my personalized favorites lists I found that the following HD channels do not sort out into any of the predesigned category filters(ie: Movies & Events; Sports; New & Information; Entertainment & Music; Family & Kids; Local. I'm excluding the HDTV category because there are way...

    losing signal under -15F

    My hr21-700 lost all signal when the temp got below -15F. My hr20-100 maintained signal in the 90's range. Both are connected to a common swm with a splitter behind it. I switched the cables back and forth and the signal still remained strong only on the hr20-100. In the early hours of the...

    Considering Dish, a few questions

    Switched from E to D two years ago mainly due to problems with E5. Now that Ciel has solved the reception problems and my contract is up I'm considering E again. Mainly because I like the 622/722 and E has pulled back into the lead on the HD programing that I care most about. I would miss Sunday...

    wireless OTA?

    Is there a wireless device that can transmit an OTA signal from a wall jack to the antenna input jack on a dvr?

    History International HD?

    When I scan ahead on the schedule I see HD programing appearing on the H.I. channel. Has this been there for a a while and I just missed it, or is it new?

    Minneapolis spot beam

    I recently moved to NW Minnesota (Ulen, zip 56585) and HD OTA for Fargo is proving to be a problem. I don't qualify distants. So I'm considering "moving" to Minneapolis. Anyone know if the spot beam would reach me?

    Leaving Verizon territory ...

    I'd love to stay with Fios but am moving to Minnesota next month and there is no Fios or Verizon where I'm going to. The only Verizon service I'll keep is wireless. Anyone know what kind of disconnect costs I'll run into because I'm leaving before the contract is up? The contract says 99.00...

    Fargo area

    Will probably be moving to an area within a 30 mile radius of Fargo. Any reception issues with D there?

    Anything new in Fios land?

    The Fios threads have been so quiet recently. For my part, I haven't had much to complain or speculate about since I added Tivo. Being happy about my services is a good thing. Like always I'd like to see them add more HD (like CC or AMC) or perhaps offer some flexible expanded sports...

    Willie Mays, Griffey and legacy

    No disrespect to Atlanta but this was the right choice. Garret Anderson might be a better choice for you anyway. Seattle loves Griffey and Safeco is the House that Griffey built. The Mariners wouldn't even still be here if it wasn't for Junior. Sounds like the clincher in the decision was May's...

    Fios and Tivo

    I've been very happy since getting a Tivo Series 3 to replace the Verizon supplied Motorola DVR. Just placed an order for a 1TB Cavalry CAXE CAXE3701T0 Newegg.com - Cavalry CAXE CAXE3701T0 1TB USB 2.0 / eSATA External Hard Drive PC-Ready - External Hard Drives For 104.00 including...

    suspend account question

    I have Fios hooked up to an HD Tivo and am using DTV less and less. I don't want to take the full leap of disconnecting service but would like suspend service for a while to see how my family adjusts to Fios by itself. But I have a lot of material stored on my 2 HR2x's and it would take quite...

    Motorola HD DVR software 1/14

    Something downloaded this morning at 2:30 AM PST. Does anyone know where to look to find the details on what was changed?

    FIOS MOTOROLA HD DVR

    Is there hope that the Motorola box will get better? I'd like to go strictly Fios once I get to a point in my DTV contract (11 months remaining) where it makes sense to quit. I've been trying to like the Motorola box but I don't see it happening with the current hard drive limits and user...

    how long after leaving until you become new customer?

    I left Dish largely over issues with the 129 sat (E5). Now that Ciel 2 looks to be an almost sure bet I'd like to drop DTV and add Dish Turbo (I've really missed the 622). I left Dish Oct. 2007. When I do the Dish builder it puts a message up that Turbo is for new customers only but still allows...
