    DirecTV does not support multi room DVR functionality DISH does

    If you read my old post correctly, I was asking how to see the content from the receiver on another tv. Not needing it to have "multi room DVR functionality". Also my HR does this just as well as my dish receiver. My attitude never changed, you can read all of my posts, I am no fanboy...

    DirecTV does not support multi room DVR functionality DISH does

    If you read my post correctly instead of taking a couple words out of context, you would have understood correctly. I said "trying to force you" Thats what they do, like it or not. They try to sell it as good feature, when all it really does it make the DVR less functional by losing a tuner...

    DirecTV does not support multi room DVR functionality DISH does

    I would hardly call a poor quality SD rf output "multi room DVR functionality" Not to mention if you are watching it on both tv's, it turns it into a single tuner dvr. When I was with dish I never liked this, and knew the only reason they did this was so Dish could save money by trying...

    Non Commitment Upgrade

    I think by the time you add up all the costs of doing it that way, it will cost alot more than just paying the early termination fee if you did have to cancel. Im guessing around $200 for 2 h20's $100 for the dish $100+ for labor to get it installed It will probably just be...

    Comedy Central in True HD

    Guys, there is no need to even debate the fact if comedy hd shows HD. It is extremely clear that the HD programs they show are of great quality with good HD equipment. The other night I must have seen 5 stand up shows in a row that were dated 2009, and I think 2 in 2008 and they were all HD...

    b-band converters (I'm an idiot)

    I know that link no longer works. A few months ago I had a BBC go out and had to order a new one. I tried using that link a multiple times and they NEVER came or even sent an email. I had to end up calling directv and they sent them out. They also said that they saw no other previous...

    So, I'm new to Hi-Def world and have a R22 DVR

    I believe the r22 is a SD receiver, and that it cannot display HD resolutions 720p or 1080i It is supposed to be the exact same hardware and everything as the HD DVR HR2x, but I think it is just software crippled to not be able to play HD. I'm not sure customer service could change the...

    My HR22-100 is really slow like yours also. It also seems that if I am watching a SD channel that the guide runs alot faster. Probably a software error, or all of the HR22 are hosed.

    DirecTV let me order PPV via remote without phone line

    If it was me, I would just run a long phone line for a little while let it do it thing then unplug it. Or hook it up to an internet connection for alittle bit. Why risk chance of coming home from work one day ready to watch the big game, then the box nagging you to plug it into a phone line...

    audio stuttering and glitches on all HD channels

    Yeah, it is the 290 version, it downloaded when I installed the box. Sometimes it will go a few minutes on some channels like every 5+ minutes or so before having a stutter. My wife does not notice them, but when I rewind a couple times for her she can.

    About every minute or so on all HD channels I get a very fast audio stutter/glitch. Sometimes it is every 3 or 4 minutes, other times it is a couple times a minute. It happens on all HD channels, locals and nationals. Some channels it seems like it happens alittle more than others. Like...

    HD-DVR Tuner problem?

    quick update, they shipped me out a hr21 today. got it hooked up and called them. Told them I needed the tuner also so they ordered it, and said after little bit of talking that they would give me a credit for the difference, since I paid the lease fee for the features when I signed up for the...

    I have caught quite a few HD mavs games on FSNSW-HD 643. About less than half of them are 4:3 SD letterboxed, but it seems most are in full HD. Most of the Stars games have been 4:3 SD, but 1 in 5 will be HD it seems. -Aaron

The installer said it could not be done with the hddvr, but when I ordered service, I was told they...
