I probably already know my answer after searching through here, calling DirecTV twice with both people knowing nothing, but I am considering retiring somewhere south, either Mexico or the Caribbean. All I need DTV for is to watch my favorite NFL team for which I have been doing for 22 years on...

Since channels 11 and 13 have gone back to the VHF range, my great Channel Master 4228 antenna is now getting a lower signal on those channels. But what's weird is that I have 2 DVRs hooked up to the antenna. Both are a HR20/700 running the latest 0x312 software. 13-1 has about a 86%...

I have a Samsung LN46A650 and am currently working with Samsung support through a problem I'm having that they haven't seen before, so I was wondering if anybody here has seen it. I have 2 DirecTV HD DVR's (HR20-700's) connected to an Onkyo receiver TX-SR674 (one with HDMI and one with...

Whatever happened to this item in the releases? I only see it listed in the 10/31 release and didn't see it in the national release in Nov. I need this functionality otherwise I'm returning my Slingbox HD Pro. Thanks, Jeff

*rant on* I just love (being sarcastic) the change in this year's policy where the Superfan HD games are blacked out too if the game is shown on a local channel. Yesterday I had to sit through the Giants/Philly game watching it in SD because the Houston Fox station couldn't get their act...

I know this has been reported before but I'm surprised it's still around. I have two HR20-700's and all my recordings start 10-30 seconds into the show so I'm always missing the beginning. Luckily "most" shows do recaps at the beginning but not all. Until they finally get this fixed, is...

First, I have to warn you that this came from my ex-wife who is a techtard and clueless about anything financial. Anyway, she told me that she recently subscribed to DirecTV. We had it when we were married but she went to cable after the divorce while of course I stayed with D*. She said that...

I have my DirecTV receivers feeding audio/video through my Onkyo stereo receiver and then everything going to my Samsung TV via an HDMI cable. Every time I have downloaded Video on Demand (VOD) content and then tried playing it, there's a huge pop and my Onkyo turns off. When I turn it back...

I hardly watch anything live anymore and end up recording the shows on my 2 HR20-700's. The other night I set up both DVRs to record shows at the same time. I was watching what I had recorded on one and noticed that the one I was using had the yellow light lit indicating it was also recording...

Not to take away from the new channel chatter, but I had a question on my local FOX HD dish feed from Houston. I'm not sure if it's the channel itself or something else but I saw it last week in Prison Break and this week too. Sometimes, it's perfect HD quality and then the next it's like I'm...

Through the help of others in this forum, I have now installed what I consider the "perfect" apartment balcony install. For those that aren't aware of my situation, I recently moved into an apartment after years of living in houses and had to find a way to install a Slimline dish on my 3rd floor...

I just got my HR20-100 a couple weeks ago and it has been working fine except this problem I occasionally get. For example yesterday I sat down to watch a 2 hour movie I had recorded. As soon as I pressed play it asked if I wanted to delete it as if I had just finished watching the whole thing...

There may be some people out there that are in the area so I'll try. I've been watching my locals in HD over a huge OTA antenna and I get a strong signal. However for the past week or so, channel 11-1 in Houston has been getting occasional audio dropouts. I taped Big Brother last night and when...

So I finally got my Slimline installed and am ready for the new HD channels but I had a question about the installation. For the phase III dish I had, the installer had these flat cables that ran underneath the window so that I could close the window. The new installer said they wouldn't work...

On my HR20 if I pause something I have recorded and press Play to start it again, often the video starts and then the audio will eventually start a second or two later. This is also true if I start watching a new recording from scratch. I have almost gotten to the point where instead of...

I thought it was going to be a good visit from my local D* installer this past weekend but it turned out to be a disaster. I am upgrading from an HR10-250 to an HR20. I live in an apartment where they had trouble before getting a Phase 3 dish installed and this time they need to install a...

I have been using HDMI from my HR20 to my receiver for over a month with no problems. Today I ran component cables from the HR20 to a second TV and that worked great. I don't know if it's out of coincidence or not, but now the HDMI doesn't work at all on the HR20. I took another HDMI cable...

I have a Channel Master CM 4228 UHF antenna sitting on my apartment's patio with a clear view to the OTA towers and I get a great signal. It has about 15 feet of RG6 to a high quality splitter that splits the signal with about 5 feet of RG6 to a HR20-700 and HR10-250 that are located by each...

I am sorry as this has probably been asked before but after 30 minutes of searching I couldn't find it. Right now I have a Phase III dish and they had problems getting satellite 119 because of my apartment building's eaves partially blocking the signal so I'm only getting 40-45 signal strength...

After having D* for 12 years, I have been forced to switch to Dish and it's a whole new world. I have always had D* in a house and for the first time I have moved to an apartment. I have 2 HDTV's and with D*, I have 2 HD DVRs, 2 standard DVRs, 1 HD receiver, and 1 standard receiver, with all...

Unfortunately I've been without my DirecTV for the past couple months because I have been living in a hotel room. I was able to get my old RCA VCR though and have been using that. I realized the one feature I really missed about time-shifting recording was the VCR's Commercial Advance feature...

I have both an HR10-250 and a HR20-700. I was never a Tivo user so am not biased. I am really trying to give the HR20 a chance here but I keep finding myself wanting to use the HR10-250 instead. The biggest problems are watching my recordings. Sometimes I just have to restart the receiver just...

I'm sure I know the answer but I'll ask anyway. When I tape a football game, I like to fast forward after the play until the start of the next play. With the HR10-250, it's tough with how the fast forward is set up. Speed 1 is just too slow. Speed 2 makes you go past when the play starts because...

I was all set Saturday to watch a football game on ESPNU only to discover I didn't get the channel. Through some searching, it appears I must subscribe to Total Choice Premier just to get this extra ESPN channel. I have Total Choice Plus and can't believe I have to pay an extra $50 for this...

I apologize for starting a new topic because I saw this somewhere but can't find the post to reply to. Anyway, I had the HR10-250 working fine with my local OTA HD channels for the past few months with occasional freezes and pauses. In the past couple weeks though I am getting a lot more. I...
