    Until it supports dual monitors I've stopped testing.

    MRV Discussion

    I've been watching HD over 801.11g and it's been fine so far. Takes a second to start up and there are occasional pauses, but nothing I can't live with.

    Interesting thread about MRV

    Nice - with this Direct2PC really becomes useless to me. I have H21's in the Living Room and the Computer room now. Since I spend most of my time in the computer room I wanted to be able to watch shows there instead of waiting until I went to bed to watch on the DVR in the bed room. Now I won't...

    New Software HR2x ver 029B

    Mine wouldn't tune anything in this morning. Good signal - and could play anything recorded, but just gray screens on every channel with no sound. Rebooted and everything was fine. Haven't been home all day to see how it's been doing since.

    Ordering more units than TVs

    I did my install the day before the movers delivered my stuff, so I just activated HD-DVR, 2 HD boxes and a SD box on a little 20" tv that I borrowed. Doesn't matter what you use to activate it on, as long as the tech can verify that you have signal to the box.

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    So far I've switched between internal and my Xtreme about 10 times as I slowly watch the stuff I have recorded on my internal drive. I just leave the Xtreme plugged into power all the time. When I'm ready to watch something on the internal drive, I unplug the esata cable from the drive, and do a...

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    I still only have the one key that showed up. I turned off one of the monitors on my main PC to test it out and it works great, but I don't see myself doing that very often. Dual monitors is pretty much a must for me most of the time.

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    I got a Free Agent Xtreme 1.5 TB drive and have it hooked up to my HR21-700. It's only been on there for 2 days but so far everything is working great. It's a pain to switch back and forth to internal while I finish watching the stuff I had recorded on there, and I still don't have my shows all...

    DirecTV-2-PC Public Beta

    I downloaded yesterday and it found my box, but when I click play it just sits there. No traffic on the network that I can see, and I end up having to end it with the three finger salute. I do have dual monitors. Is there a bug reporting system for it anywhere? If I ever get my second key, I'll...

    Dish vip622 / close D* receiver

    I miss my 622 :( I haven't tried HDMI and component at the same time since my tv's are far apart at my new house, but it definently doesn't allow dual TV independant viewing. Each TV must have it's own box for D*.

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    I would say your best bet now is to put the tv back and get it working at the old spot. Then disconnect UHF/ANT drops outside until you find the one going to the old spot. Then move the tv back to the new spot, and try the runs you have hanging loose. If you get it working at the old spot but...

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    The DPD2 is a diplexor, so I would start with that one. You could try putting your tv back and disconnect out side until you find the correct one.

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    I just thought of one case where you might have two diplexers at both ends - if you have two runs to the sat with no dpp seperator, and a back feed and an antenna in. In that case the one you are looking for would be the one not going to your antenna on the outside.

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    It still shouldn't need 4 diplexers. A diplexer lets you mix sat signals with regular signals. A 625 might have 1 of those at both ends, but not two. Are you sure you aren't mixing the DPP seperators up with the diplexors? Or maybe you have regular splitters involved somewhere?

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    You should only have two diplexers if you have two recievers needing them. Simplest test would be disconnect the feed from the sat to one of the dipliexers and see what receiver drops. Once you figure out which one runs to your 625, unhook the ANT side of that one and connect to the 4 lines...

    Best way to order service?

    I did a test call to see what I could get last night, and got the same pricing I was seeing online and in the stores. I think I'm going to go with BB. That will let me get installed sooner, and with their price guarantee, I can still get the $100 back when that goes into effect. I swung by...

    Best way to order service?

    I see the real old sticky on waiting, but that has obviously not up to date. Sadly I'm going to have to give up my E* 622 and order D* when I move. Up until now I've either been in an area where E* didn't have HD locals or was under contract with E* when D* added them. Since I'm moving back...
