    D* Customer Service insulting

    Tech arrived today - took one look at the H20 they sent me and just threw up his hands. He says he sees this all day long, "old" H20's sent out with minimal testing. He went to the truck, got me a new H21, we hooked it up and things were perfect. I relayed my story to him and he says he...

    D* Customer Service insulting

    Ordered a new H20 from the D* web site ($105 with tax) to replace and older SD box, it arrived yesterday. Hooked it up, activated it and found severe pixelation on all HD locals and most HD channels. I've essentially isolated the problem to the new H20 as it has the same issues at other...

    Another reason to go with external HDD

    hmmm... Was assuming that by disconnecting the external HDD when having to do a complete reset, that only the internal HDD was affected. Also assumed the OS was motherboard based and that the drives held digital content and associated meta-data only - bad assumption? Has anyone ever tried...

    Another reason to go with external HDD

    For some unknown reason, my recently installed HR20-100 stopped interacting with "live" TV and the playing back recorded programs - it was recordong OK. After several attempts with tech support to resolve this, I was forced to do a complete reset which fixed the problem except that it also...

    New HR-20-100 doesn't replay live TV

    For some reason, it will not pause, rewind live content from the channel you are watching. It's works OK with a recording - seems bizarre and/or defective. I'm running f/w rev 0x18a - any known issues with this release?

    Help with H20 HDMI

    OK, but what I do not understand is why did it "all" work for 3 months and then stop working with no firmware changes. AFAIK, HMDI does not carry any voltage related signals to potentially damage an HDMI port - does anyone know this for sure?

    Help with H20 HDMI

    I just don't understand it. Had my H20 (among other components) hooked up through my JVC A/V receiver which converts composite, component and HMDI to HDMI via a single cable to my Samsumg DLP TV. The H20 hooks to the JVC via HDMI. Everything has worked for 3+ months until last week. Now, the...

    No OTA with new 5-lnb dish???

    Just had a friend tell me that when his installer came out to upgrade his 3-lnb dish to the 5 and install his new HR-20, that the existing OTA antenna with multi-switch and diplexors could no longer be supported! Is this true or did he have a misinformed installer? I know you can get all the...

    H20 and HDMI sync issues

    Actually, after alot of cable and component swapping, it looks like the H20's HDMI is not only incompatible with my Samsung DLP but also my JVC receiver (D411S). It never works with the JVC and sometimes works with my TV when I hard reset the H20. BTW, my DVD/HDMI works perfectly with both -...

    Recent problems with HD channels

    Very bizzare. Over the weekend, getting inconsistent reception on select HD channels from DTV on one receiver (Samsung TS360) only. Swapped out the receiver (another TS360), cables, diplexer - still getting "green" blurs across the screen - similar to when a thunderstorm is in the area. This...
