    H1001 HDCP errors, anybody else get this?

    I switched to Uverse in the beginning of January. The installer got everything hooked up, but I saw an HDMI Error with the TV. We switched cables and the error went away. While he was working on it, it would come back now and them. Once the configuration was set, I never saw the error again...

    Just bought a new 3D TV

    I wasn't looking to get a 3D tv, but when I was debating the features, I ended up with one. I got a 55" Panny Plasma GT30. Ended up buying the glasses too. I'm impressed with the 3D. While I don't like wearing the glasses, the images look better to me than the 3D images in the theaters. Its...

    hTc evo 4g question

    Ok, I have a question for the evo 4g users. Anybody ever get a 4G or WiFi connection to go greater than 8Mbps? My internet connection at home will pick up between 20-25Mbps. Every computer on the network will show this, but not my evo on wifi. The fastest I've gotten is 8850kbps. I've tested...

    HR21 and VOIP phone

    I have a vonage phone and use house phone wiring to distribute it to other phones including my HR21-700 (on the current national release). All of the sudden yesterday people would call, and the phone would disconnect after one or two rings. This happened all day Saturday and most of the day...

    Time drift problem with HR21 units

    I've complained about this in the past. All I have to say now is, thank you very much for fixing this. I've noticed that the drift has gone away and the clock on the unit is within 5-10 seconds of the offical time from the US government (The official US time).

    H21 issue

    Shortly before the CE's for the H21, I noticed that most of my locals would loose signal with the unit. I'd see a searching for signal 771 message. When updating the firmware with the MRV CE's, this seemed to disappear. I haven't updated the unit since 12/20, and the other day, I started...

    Hello satellite ISP users, My in-laws live in an area where they only option is dial-up or satellite ISP. As far as I can tell those options are HughesNet or WildBlue. I've seen the service plan options, but I was wondering what others think about the service that is provided. Also, I'd like...

    HR21 clock drift

    I know this is been mentioned before, but why can't DirecTV fix this problem? My receiver units with Dish and Comcast were always on time. I have to reset the HR21 every now and then to get it to resync its clock. I noticed last night it was over a full minute off. After the reset, its back to...

    Recording bug

    I have an HR21-700 using the lastest national release. The other night we were recording two shows at one time (8:30 to 9:00). Heading up to the time slot, the unit asked if I wanted to change the channel for the recording when it was time to do so. I answered yes. I then turned off the unit...

    HD channels on weak Sat?

    We've had a major storm go through California today. I've noticed that I've lost nearly every one of the HD channels. Doesn't seem to affect any of the SD feeds, but nearly all the HD channels come back with 771 message searching for the satellite. There are a few exceptions, ESPN seemed fine...

    Joined the ranks

    Well, I finally purchased a PS3 last week and viewed some movies over the weekend. All I can say is WOW. I have only a 720p TV, and was blown away at the clarity of the BD movies I saw. Very crisp and clear. Live Free or Die Hard, Cars, Pixar Shorts and Pirates 1. Great sound quality too and...

    Many confused by Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD

    My local paper wrote an article on the subject. They also have a poll on what people think. This is the current result (30 votes so far) 20% Blu-ray, the quality is so much better 13% HD-DVD, it's more affordable 43% I'll stick to standard DVDs till it's sorted out 23% I'm so confused

    Suggestions for 60+ inch HDTV

    I have a friend thats looking for a new HDTV in 60"+. What are the current recommendations from people here? He is looking more for rear projection and is not interested in a front projector setup. I'm not exactly sure about his budget, but I believe that $3k will be pretty close to his limit.

    Ads in IPG

    Just noticed in the past week that Comcast added an AD to the bottom of the IPG. It takes out one entry in the guide for viewing channels. I did a search on the web and noticed that Comcast has been trying to get this working since last November. I emailed them and complained about it, but they...

    LG: No go on combo BR / HD-DVD

    The dream of many gadget kooks these days--a box that can play both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD movies--may come some day, but it doesn't appear likely in the near future. http://news.com.com/LG+No+go+on+combo+of+Blu-ray%2C+HD+DVD/2100-1041_3-6117731.html?tag=nefd.top
