Looks like I might have a bad HR21. It never gets past Step 1 of 2, and I can hear the hard drive spin up, click a few times, then spin down over and over. Tried leaving it unplugged for a while but it didn't matter. Am I looking at paying for a replacement? Or would an external hard drive...

So I've got 2 HR-21s and an HR-20. All are network connected. I opted in on all of them, and they all say they are connected. None of them show each other though. They all say no networked receivers found. I can download On Demand, I can play back on Directv2pc, so obviously they have...

DirecTV just called and upgraded my last remaining HDTivo for free to the HR21. No lease fees, no extension to my contract. I had called them a week ago asking if there were any upgrades available, and they told me I'd have to pay $199 so it's nice to get it for free ;)

I've got an HR20 and 2 HR21s around the house now, and sometimes I'd LOVE to have MRV. Is there a chance we'll ever see it or something similar?

I purchased this a couple months ago as part of a home theater install but ended up going with a pre/pro. It's still sealed in the box, purchased from an authorized retailer and I will include the sales slip. Asking $1000 shipped anywhere in the 48 states. Paypal, wire, or postal money order...

So I had my reinstall today... the installer brought an HR21. I had an HR20-700 that I'd bought at CC. And they were reactivating my old HR10-250. So I guess I'm running the gambit! Anyway, I was really disapointed that the HR21 lacks OTA, since in my area ABS, CW11, and PBS HD are all not...

I'm a little confused about why only 3 of my local channels are offered in HD from D*. At the very least I'd have expected to see the big 4, not to mention CW11 and PBS. Is it simply that they couldn't get a deal worked out with the local providers? I'm basing this on the website list since...

I keep getting the "Come back to DirecTV" mails and thought maybe I'd take them up on the offer. So I give them a call... ouch. $299 each for 2 of the HR20s, $99 for the H20, and I'd get $99 off. No trade-in deals for my old equipment like my HD Tivo. *sigh* I think I'm stuck with Comcast...

Just checking to see what satellite season ticket games are on. I'd assume 110, but I certainly could be wrong. I ask because I have issues getting 110 right now and will move my dish if I have to... but only if I have to :). Thanks, MP

I've got a VERY large CBand setup in my back yard. I just don't use the thing. It's a nice system... I was told it is top of the line by some of the CBand guys here. Still works because I tested it. 12' dish at least I think. Problem is, it's on top of a LONG pole. 18-20' up. You can have...

So when I moved into my new place the installer put the dish in what I consider to be a bad location with trees. It was November though, so of course all the signals were fine. Now that they are in full bloom I've lost half my signal strength on 110. It's down in the 30s-40s while all the...

Purchased a used HIRD-E8 receiver. It came without the access card, so I ordered another one from DirecTV. I plugged in the new card and booted the unit, but it wasn't finding the birds. There is still some leftover info from the original owner in it, so I wanted to do a master reset but...

Hey gang, got my HDD200 today. To hook it up do I just use that digital cable that came with it to my 920? And does that then pass all audio and video, requiring me to only output via the HDD200? Also, are there are free HD feeds I can try it out on to make sure it's working?

Selling my Hitachi 57XWX20B television. This was the top of the line set in the 2002 product run. It has 2 firewire inputs and an integrated tuner that can do OTA HD or unscrambled QAM256. This set was professionally calibrated about a year ago by an ISF tech and had the glare screen removed and...

Well, my installer didn't show today so I'm trying to take a stab at wiring this box myself. I have the previous set of instructions you guys posted, but the wires are a little different than what I expected so I want to be sure I'm right. I've included photos. So I have a 6 wire cable and...

Ok, sudden and drastic expenses are making me liquidate some equipment. So, you get the benefit . I'm selling the following stuff off. Please feel free to make me an offer, as long as it's not an insulting one. PM me or email me at madpoet@rocketmail.com 1) JVC 5u D-VHS VCR. Excellent working...

Ok, I'm moving to a house with a BUD on a pretty high pole (maybe 12-15'). Not sure of the actual dish size, but it is pretty freaking big :). Inside they have a 4DTV receiver now that they are leaving me (did not get the model number yet) and supposedly it all works great. So while I'm very...

I've got an HD Tivo hooked via component to a Panasonic LCD TV. Periodically (frequently!) the picture will black out for a second or two and then return. The sound stays on the whole time. If I rewind and play it back it happens in exactly the same places, and if I have something recorded it...

I've got severe ghosting on my Fox61, all the time. I litterally see 3 ghosts of everyone on every program on. And unfortunately my reception of the local digital version is spotty at best. I talked with a D* tech and they were less than helpful. Has anyone seen anything like this on their...

Somewhat amusing story with a mildly happy ending. I ordered a second HR10-250 from VE (thanks Robert!) and it arrived yesterday. So I removed my old R10, hooked it all up, and called D*. The customer service rep was... technically deficient. I told him I wanted to take 2 receivers off my...

Cleaning out some leftover equipment! I have the following for sale, looking for best offers. PM me or email me at madpoet@rocketmail.com Toshiba DST-3100 HD receiver, includes remote and manual. Used, works great! The Toshiba is an interesting model, it can do multiple outputs for both...

I need to run an additional line to a room, which means I'll need to install a 5x8 switch for my oval dish. I'm already using the 4. All 4 lines from the dish run down to a point on the outside of my house and then branch off in various directions. Can the switch be installed outside, or...

My HD Tivo is creating a ground loop hum in my system. I'm not sure how it is, but I need to eliminate the hum. I was thinking about trying to ground the chasis to my receiver, but wasn't sure where on the Tivo body I should use. Anyone have any other ideas what I can use?

So I sent my boxes to a person who wante them for OTA and I forgot to document the procedures for going through the OTA setup. Can someone refresh my memory so I can pass on how to do channel scanning, manual channel entering, etc; to the poor guy ;). I remember it was Voom button, then green...
