    System Reboot 20:00

    Hey All, My HR22 rebooted it self shortly before 20:00 CDT. Not a software update as that was on 6/3. Anybody know why? It was set to record at 20:00 so I missed some of that. It has done this before even when it was recording and tech support seem oblivious. Not cool. I came from...

    HR2x / R22 Software Release 6/3 v.0312

    Hello Folks, What is the news on 0x312? My HR22/100 was updated last night. Also, a month or two ago I received another update and am not aware of it's improvements either. Thanks, Robert

    What will I miss about my vip622

    Just did that friday so I suppose I am the right user for this question. If you get a HR22 you might miss a bit of sharpness but mine seems to have better audio. I am using the optical out. Folsk are reporting that the HR23 seems to be buggy, so for now the 22 might be the better DVR. The 22...

    Installation Begins

    It is D*'s fault, I don't think the customer should be blamed for wanting the sharpest reciever. :-)

    Installation Begins

    . As I said in other posts, the BestBuy website only showed 22's so I did not try the store. Of late, retailers usually have more items/newer items on the web that are not even in the stores. <stuff removed> Wanted to but don't carry much cash. Also, he went a bit weak at the end...

    Death Race Extended

    Death Race Extended

    Not finding it, only howto's there, maybe because my HR22 was installed yesterday? I told the system to record it so let's see what shows up at 23:00 CST. Thanks:-)

    Death Race Extended

    Hey Folks, Anybod rent the Death Race Extended version of the PPV. Is it LB? I know they usuall say, but i would expect a special version to be 16:9 at least. If it is I can zoom in to fill the HD screen. Any clue why there is no HD feed of that? Seems like a natural for HD and Step...

    Dish mounted. Wires run. About to connect the reciever to the dish. :-)

    Installation Begins

    Yeah, I have had that thought as well. I did my original DIRECTV install in '98, even my former roomate in Charlotte who is not techincal did his. The LNB had a red light for when you found the bird. Then I bought the DIRECTIVO and put that in. I am an IT Consultant with some electronics...

    Installation Begins

    Yep, Weather is 42 degrees and sunny. Found somebody(he also seemed nice) at Directech Southwest that is trying to find an installer with a HR23. We unboxed the 22 and the back has scratches so I guess it is a refurb. Fuel for my fire! I have the single line that dish network uses and...

    Installation Begins

    Looked in his car. All he has is a 22 and lesser models. Says the only guy with a 23 is in Dallas and I am in Houston. I am going to see if the warehouse knows an installer close by. Bummer. Guess I have to call DIRECTV corporate like I did with SBC when my DSL was installed in '99...

    Installation Begins

    Hello Folks, David the installer is here. He says he has a HR23 but his english is not too good so we shall see. He is putting up the dish and I am going to unhook the dish network vip622. I tried to get him to give me the reciever to install but he would not. He has a nice new Dodge SVT...

    Placed The Order, We Shall See.

    Nope, want Speed in HD and Dish is dragging their feet. Also Leo Laporte should be coming to DIRECTV. I want to return to DIRECTV and I want them to be better. Myself and others believe that to be reasonable. Take it EZ, Robert:-)

    I dunno, you do drive a Hemi. <bg> I kinda like my 2002 Z28 with the LS1:-)

    Placed The Order, We Shall See.

    The main CS issue is the fact that several of the CSRs don't understand what I am saying and all of them have put me on hold for extended periods. Out of 3 calls I was transferred to the wrong dept. once and it would have been twice if I had not stopped them. I disagree that because it is a...

    Stupid AM21 question

    Good deal, I am a no-code technician HAM (UHF/VHF only) so I do have some knowledge of this. You may want to try putting an outdoor style antenna in your attic, maybe with a rotor. If that does not get you enough signal then you need to go to an outdoor antenna. BTW, for those that...

    Stupid AM21 question

    So again I ask, are you moving the antenna to find the signal(s) Robert

    anyone an individual or sub contractor for directv?

    Check the "Is installation always this bad?" thread. Several in there:-)

    Stupid AM21 question

    You are moving the antenna around? I believe the Terk is what I have hooked up to my dish 622 (DIRECTV install tomorrow). I am fortunate to be not far from the tower most Houston stations use. Robert:-)
