    Shows are being cut off a minute before the end of the show. Why?

    When recording shows on TNT, TBS and USA, no matter how I set the timers, I am getting the last and most important minute of the show cut off? This happens when I'm recording back to back shows on the same channel. Why is this happening? Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    RF Remote

    I bought an RF remote for an HR24 and followed all the instructions and the remote does not work at all. The final step is to type in the last 4 of the RID number but I get nothing. I reset and tried again several times to no avail. Can anyone lend an assist? Thanks in advance.

    Native resolution on or off

    Sorry to be beating a dead horse here but what is the laymans setup for this setting?

If I move my setting on...

    Clarification on 211 DVR capabilities

    My understanding is that after activating the $39.99 DVR service on this receiver, that you will be able to record programming similar to the 722/622/612 mpeg 4 receivers do but with only 1 tuner. My question lies in the pause/rewind/fast forward features. Will these be available when viewing...
