    DIRECTV HR34 Home Media Center

    That statement isn't accurate. The listed Samsung LED TVs have been sold publicly or months. RVU client boxes will eventually come to market offering an impossibly small footprint compared to a traditional DVR. I've been waiting for this news since before buying my Samsung UN55D6420 in July.

    Time to pull the trigger and come HOME!!!

    Don't call those ads that you get in the junk mail. Those are likely for local installers that don't really have the power to give you a good deal. Just call 1-800-DirecTV and talk to them.

    How do these Slimline SS's look?

    Be careful! If you didn't dither the signal correctly, you might be missing out on the new sats once they're operational. KA bands are extremely narrow and are easy to miss.

    Great Idea for Directv ?

    How many people actually order PPV? I'd venture a guess that it's definately not the HD crowd. With only one HD PPV channel, we're left out in the cold. I, for one, refuse to pay $3.99 to see a movie in SD. I'd much rather drive to my nearest redbox and rent the DVD for $1. I think all the...

    What Satilite Dish is better?

    I got the Au-9 a week ago, and it's spot on. Most of my transponders come in at 97%. I can't imagine that the AT-9 could pick up any better.

    H20 Interactive (not HR20) CE release 3/2 & 3/3

    I can't believe nobody replied yet!! Here's the deal with 0x1082 on my H20-100. - Interactive enabled. - Redesigned guide. Essentially the same and yes, you do still have to press "Guide" twice, but the blue is much richer and fonts are cleaner. Scrolling by page is now animated as in...

    H20 Replacement model

    I also had two extremely defective 600's and have been nothing but pleased with my 100. The OTA tuner is just fine, but I occasionally get PSIP issues that drop my audio on the Denver NBC affilliate. As far as I know, that's them, not the 100.

    Trying To Change Programming

    I've run into an issue trying to change my programming package online. I decided that it was kinda stupid to pay $93 per month for what I'm getting and not spring for the extra $6 a month to get all of the premium channels. For some reason, the web site won't let me select the Premire package...

    D* puts HD on back burner?

    I guess I should have got the AT-9 or slimline before the announcement. I imagine that they will be in shorter supply than the HR20. Whoops.

    Hr 20 100 to 700????????????

    I want the black one that's on the D* website. Anyone else seen that anywhere else? 100 or 700, I don't care. I just want to DVR HD.

    Phantom horizontal and diagonal lines

    I had the exact same problem with my H20-600. When I called DirecTV, I got a new H20-100 (Because I asked for one) and haven't had ANY problems since. I'm sorry to hear that you're on your third receiver. If it happens again, try getting your hands on a 100 model.

    why not all nfl games in HD w/ SF

    Of all the games not to broadcase in HD... Broncos / Raiders? Biggest rivalry in the AFC? Someone's not thinking at all.

    Moving to Denver

    The biggest problem with D* Denver Mpeg4 service is that you will only receive NBC, CBS, and ABC via sat. If you take the time to install an antenna, you will get CW, FOX, two separate PBS stations, two Spanish language stations, and several independents, all in HD. For me, there's no...

    Which is newer/better

    IMHO, get rid of the 600. If you haven't had problems with it allready, you will. I had the darn thing for about six months before my component output went and I had an unwatchable picture. I have been nothing but happy with the 100.

    H20-100 ota question

    I had a similar issue with KCNC Denver OTA and you might want to try these steps: 1) You migth be experiencing multi-path interference. If moving your antenna slightly doesn't work, try a different mounting location. The digital signal might be "bouncing" off of nearby objects and creating...

    H10 OTA After Disable

    My H10 worked the last time that I plugged it in about a month ago. When I tried last week, it did the same thing to me. I even tried to hook up the satellite just to get past that screen, to no avail.

    OTA Install Questions

    I was doing some tinkering with my system the other day and made an interesting discovery. I have my OTA antenna diplexed into the feed from my D* ODU. Another diplexer separates the feeds before they reach the back of my H20. My OTA reception isn't bad for some channels, but some others are...

    H20 = J-u-n-k

    I had to turn in my 600 for a 100 because the component video out went bad in addition to the overheating, the slow guide, and the reboots every now and again. I couldn't be happier with the 100. One month and not a single reboot. Some people prefer the native resolution, but with my 2002...

    H20 for OTA

    The H20 does need service activation from D* to function at all. The H10 does not. If you have no interest in MPEG4, see if you can get your hands on one of those. I have one sitting in my entertainment center, dark, just in case for the future.

    Antenna placement in attic

    I was doing some tinkering with my system the other day and made an interesting discovery. I have my OTA antenna in the attic diplexed into the feed from my D* ODU. Another diplexer separates the feeds before they reach the back of my H20. My OTA reception isn't bad for some channels, but some...

    HD-DVR Installation Basics

    Yes, you do need two separate lines running directly from the LNB's to operate both tuners at the same time. Sorry. I tried diplexers and splitters, hoping I was smarter than the instruction manual. I wasn't. :)

    H20 swap-out for heat (reboot) - 2 year commitment??

    I had a different problem with my H20-600 and got a brand new H20-100 (because I specifically asked for one) without a new service contract. I was in the exact same situation as you as far as the owned / leased deal, but I said "yes" to the service plan. Maybe that was the difference.

    H20-600 Problem

    I have had the best customer service experience of my life, thanks to DirecTV. I called them yesterday at about 12:00 noon, mountain time. I explained the situation to a level 1, and after about forty-give seconds, (when he'd realized I'd already tried everything, thanks to you guys,) he...

    That's what I'm afraid of. i just hooked up my old H10 and there's no problem. Thank you all for your help. I love this place! :D BTW Thanks, Charper. You've been a help to me before, and I appreciate your positive attitude.
