    Has anyone been experiencing out of sync audio? It has happened twice now and both times, I was able to shut the HR44 off and turn it back on to cure the issue. Is this normal or is something going on?

    Big Problem...Code 775

    I am not even 1 week into the new DirecTV system and things got ugly! At install, the tech had issues getting the HR44 to communicate with the dish. He finally got it working but each day after the install, I would get a Code 775 Cabling alert and no picture. I was able to fix it each day by...

    How does the Genie work?

    Curious as to how the Genie system works? Does the signal travel to and from the mini's both ways via coax cable or do the mini's run on wireless internet? Basically, how do the mini's communicate with the HR44?

    Anyone get the Comcast Guide Update yet?

    It was supposed to roll out on Nov 18th (or after) but I haven't received it yet. I am really looking forward to this as they are adding favorite lists just like DISH as well as a new interface look. The old one is just too generic. I hope they do it right! Come on Comcast...roll out those...

    Saving Comcast Pay per View Moives on your DVR

    Has anyone figured out a way to save purchased pay per view movies on your DVR? I used to do this with DISH but seem to be NO WAY with Comcast. I don't want to pirate movies or anything like that, it was just nice to have them on the DVR for watching at a later date.
