    Please Help ... R15 + FF = Problems

    Is anyone else having trouble with the FF feature of the R15? If I FF X1 (one push of the button) everything is fine. If I hit it again (FF x2) it FF's like it is supposed to, but it won't stop fast forwarding. I can hit play, stop, etc. but it won't stop. It will go through about 45 minutes...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I ordered an R15 on Monday. They (Value Electronics) called me last night (Tuesday) about my credit card (they had the wrong #) and the lady told me that they wouldn't ship out Wednesday because they hadn't received their shipment yet. She said hopefully they would ship Thursday. I just hope...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I ordered one from your place last night. The people that helped were great. So by "simultaneous S, two composite RCA, Yellow/Red/White and one coax output", does that mean I should hook up ALL of those cables to get the best quality? Or do some of them trump the others? Hope this makes sense...

    Robert In looking at the picture of the back of the R15 from your web page (the members link), I can't see the power supply. Am I just missing it, or is it on the side? Thanks...

    Seahawks HD Game 11-6-05

    I know you're looking for HD info, but I Tivo'd the game in non-HD, and watched it later. No skips or problems of any kind. I know I'm not adding to this at all, but I'm a Die-hard lifer for the 'Hawks and just wanted to respond :)

    HD/DVR prices...

    Ok, I've only been a Directv customer for three months. I want/need to upgrade to HD but can't/won't shell out the $499-$599 for a HD/DVR (I gotta have the DVR part). I missed out on the $299 HD/DVR deal in September. Based on Directv history, will they do something like that again before the...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    Robert, I called your store a couple of minutes ago to ask a question. You've got some friendly people working the phones for you. I appreciated the lady's help. Can someone explain this "dual buffer" thing to a newbie? I was all set to order when I read this thread. What does this mean...

    I thought this was interesting...

    This might be common knowledge, but I thought it was interesting. I read on this forum about calling Directv retention reps and trying to get a deal, and reading about people playing the "retention rep carousel" by hanging up and calling right back. I called Directv last night and asked a...

    Newbie question re: component out

    All right, I'm not good with these technical things, so please, bear with me. I'm relying on a friend who knows his stuff. I have set up a home theater type of room in the basement with a big screen and an expensive sound system (my tech friend made me buy it:) I am a Directv customer. In...

    Advice from the experts out there...

    Thanks for your answer. I am in the Charleston, WV market for locals. But I live a couple of hours away from there, in the middle of nowhere in SE Ohio. Let me ask you this - if I buy one now (a regular HD/DVR from Direct TV), will it be an inferior product to this MPEG4 thingy? And knowing...

    Advice from the experts out there...

    If someone could give some advice here I'd sure appreciate it.... I'm a DT subscriber but a little slow with the technical side of this. I have a DVR and three regular receivers. I just got an HD TV, and want to get an HD/DVR for it. After trying to figure out what to do, these acronyms are...
