I was just wondering if an external hard drive affects the speed of the hddvr at all? By speed I mean scrolling through the guide, bringing up menus and searches etc. I was curious if it either slowed it down, sped it up or had no effect at all. Thanks for any input!

Yay! I checked it today and we no longer have the stretched out feed! I was still using OTA for this channel but now I don't have to! Thanks alot for emailing d* and getting it fixed for all of us in the Salisbury dma!

Thanks alot mdram! I'll keep checking to see if mine goes HD. Can you post to this thread when yours does?

? Then why don't we see it in hd?

Fox was never in hd ota and it doesn't appear to be in hd with Directv. It is a subchannel of WBOC 16 CBS. (It is WBOC-DT2) Wiki lists it as 480i in 4:3 aspect ratio WBOC web site says it's offered in HD to Comcast & Verizon Fios. Any chance it will become HD w/ Directv? Why does...

So if I understand correctly, I'll be able to get locals on my HDDVR (HR20), but not on my SDDVR (R16) unless I upgrade that one to a HD model, is that right?

I currently do not have locals available (Salisbury, MD). But they are supposed to be added sometime in November. I have a couple of questions. Currently I get my locals by combo of OTA and DNS. 1-When locals become available how do I know? (Do I have to check online or will DTV...

I had a HR20-100 HD Dvr that experienced a hard drive failure recently, and Directv replaced it with a HR20-700. I have noticed 2 things that concern me. 1- The dvr makes noises that my old dvr did not. It is a kind of clicking or whiring sound. 2- When I pause live TV and then go to...

I am considering upgrading my old sd receiver to sd dvr and have a couple questions. 1- will I get the R16 or are there still R15 out there? (I have read so many problems with the R15) 2- is it true that the R16 only requires one line run to be able to use both tuners? 3- are there any...

?? should I be concerned and consider updating my receiver? It's used on a small std def tv and works fine- but if it's becoming obsolete and I'm going to start missing programming I guess I should consider?

I have MLB EI, and one HDDVR and one Standard receiver. The standard receiver had a messgage telling me that MEI are no longer shown on the MEI channels, I can see the games on their appropriate RSN channel. Can anyone explain why? Is this going to affect my other sports subscriptions too...

I would like to know if anyone can tell me if the powerstrip adapter from Directv for Video on Demand has surge protection on it's outlets? Thanks!

Can someone please explain what could be the cause of my lower signal numbers on Tuner 2 vs Tuner 1. In particular it is Sat 101 Transponders 1-10: tuner 1= 97 95 96 97 96 100 97 100 95 96 tuner 2= 95 69 85 70 75 48 76 65 82 51 because of this I sporadically get...

I didn't call... afraid they'd want to send a tech out and I don't want to pay for that.

For some reason in the past week, I can no longer get Espn News SD. I can get ESPN news HD. I get the searching for satellite code 771 message on SD. It really doesn't matter since I get the HD- but I was curious if anyone had a clue why? It is the ONLY channel that this has happened to so I...

Hi! I read some posts that refer to the ability to copy programing that has been recorded on an HR20 to a dvd. Can someone tell me if this is possible, and how it is done? Thanks!

Thank you to all who posted responses to my questions regarding upgrading to HD. I called D*, got a good deal on my upgrade to the HR20 and a discounted programming package, and had no surprises on my bill either. I LOVE the HD channels, and I LOVE my DVR! I am so glad I posted my questions...

I am going to call D* today to see what kind of offer they can give me to upgrade to HD. I've never done this before. Can anyone tell me what to expect, and if I accept the offer how the process works? Do I order the H20 or HR20 and then schedule the install when I get it? Does the new dish...

I have some more upgrade questions if anyone can help. Question 1: If I upgrade to the H20 and have Choice Xtra with HD access programming, will I get both standard and HD versions of channels or just HD? (I ask because I've read sometimes the HD version have some issues of...

I am contemplating upgrading to h20 and 5LNB dish. Locals are not currently offered in my area (std or hd) I use a OTA for locals. Question 1: does anyone know if with the HD rollout that D* is doing- will locals eventually be offered to all markets? (I am DMA 148) Question 2: I...

I know D* is rolling out HD locals in lots of markets, I am however in a very small market at the end of the list, (Salisbury, MD) and am not currently offered locals. Will D* be offering the HD locals to all markets, or just the same ones that get them now? I don't want to get my hopes up...

I own an RCA F38310 HD tv with built-in HD directv receiver. (purchased in 2002) I am curious if I would be able upgrade to a newer interactive HD receiver, or HD receiver w/ DVR. Specifically how would I hook up the new equiptment since the existing one is built into the tv. The inputs on...

I have a question regarding the new Hot Pass. I do not have an interactive receiver. If I subscribe to hotpass, what audio will I get on the driver channels, the network audio, or the dedicated driver commentators. This is important to me because without the interactive receiver I can not...

Hi, I do not get D* locals where I live. Tried OTA for a year- I am on the fringe and sometimes good, sometimes bad. I am thinking about getting basic comcast for the locals. Can Comcast and D* signals be run on the same line? If so how do I do it? (I have 1 standard and 1HD receiver, no...

I am unfortunately in DMA 148 (Salisbury MD). Will I ever get LIL? Or am I stuck forever with OTA reception. Also I have a RCA HDTV with built in RCA Directv receiver, with the new satellites being launched, if and when the upgrades ever get to my lowly DMA, will I be able to upgrade to...
