    Petition to change the high contrast colors on the DIRECTV guide

    They need to include a Display Preferences setting to change the high contrast colors on the DIRECTV guide. I absolutely hate white text on a black background. Pure white text on a pure black background hurts my eyes, is hard to read, and produces annoying after-images. I would much better...

    Adding genie and keeping 2 other HD DVRs

    The mini clients will not see the other DVR's? wow, that is not the way they answered my questions. I asked them if all TV's will see all DVR's and they said yes. One DVR is HR20-100S and one is HR20-700 Any chance the installer WILL replace the DVR's? or will they just add the DECAs?

    OK I looked again and can order a mini genie client so there would not be a setup fee at all. Maybe that will convince him.

    Thanks for the reply I have to find out the cable price. Also the directv web site did not offer genie clients. I wonder why not. Does he have to call for those?

    My father-in-law wants to switch to from cable. He has 2 TVs and needs a HD DVR and a 2nd receiver. There was no option to mix HD DVR for 1st TV and SD for the 2nd TV. He could only get HD DVR and HD receiver. The directv site offers genie for free and then wants $99 for the HD receiver. If you...

    I do have a seagate external eSATA 750 GIG drive on this DVR,,but why only an issue recording on FOX. I do not think it is the drive. When the problem happens there is a long delay with a black screen after I pressed play, it is really sluggish to even show the time scale or try to FF or REW...

    HR20-700 DVR wont play a show while recording it

    Yes, it was American Idol on Fox. I have rebooted and the problem still happens intermittently. Some shows record OK, some do not. The shows that record all black have to be deleted. I think it has only happened on Fox HD channel 13 from Seattle.

    Why can't they keep the audio/video synced?

    If you notice the sync is off, try changing the channel, then change back to it. Most of the time it fixes it.

    Sorry, that should have been typed "They would give me 2 HDTV units, a 522 DVR feeding 2 rooms and thats all". They said I could not have 5 rooms, only 4. I guess I am not going to get dish, I tried to buy it and they would not sell me what I needed. I was not even trying to get the 5th...
