Like a lot of the original nitch channels they have lost there way. Weather Nation is fine. Weather Channel -Bye Bye

I got it last night but don't know much about it. Can someone give me some details?

Very happy to have DIY HD. I agree H2 is on the top of my HD wish list with Cooking number 2. I have missed them all since I moved from Dish, who has had them for years.

Keep them off and pay for HD channels from the other networks that are only shown in SD on Direct. DIY, Cooking, H2, etc....

I have had the new HD GUI for at least a month on both my HR24-200. This morning I had one of them stop playing back over the network so I did a reset on it using the 0 2 4 6 8 and it downloaded and reverted to the old GUI. I am in Albuquerque, NM. Is there anything I can do exept wait for the...

Just a quick question... Cn you disable the screen saver when paused. It is set for 10 mins or so and I would like to get rid of it or at least change it to a longer duration.

As time goes by I am getting very comfortable with the feature like Other Showings and the quick record from the guide. I am using a cheap URC-R6 that I learned the Skip forward and back commands from the Direct remote and it functions the same way. bookmarkn for jump to bookmart or start / end.

Just gave them a call and they are no longer picking up cancellation fees. They my start it up again but for now they don't.

Thank, A lot of good information there. As I get use to it I the HR24 to be laid out well. It is just that getting use to it takes a bit of time. Do yo know if custom folders on on the horizon? Also I will try and see if they can help out on the cancellation fee!

I don't think the installer had a clue regarding this. It came in Slip30 I set it to Skip30.

I am having a little regret but I feel I did not have much in the way of options right now. I think in a few months there will be a lot of changes. If you do not feel you have to switch over right now I would recommend holding off and take a look at the new technology coming out.

gary s Iceburg on the Direct TV foum also told be about thoes two tricks. Thanks that for the help they work great.

Iceburg, Thanks a lot for the tips. It is just the kind of things that I was looking for to make the experiance more enjoyable. And yes I have it set to 30 second skip not slip.

Background: I have been on Direct TV now for 3 days. I had been with Dish for 8 years and was using a ViP622 located in living room. It was connected via HDMI to a 60” Sony LED backlit LCD TV with an Onkyo 7.1 surround sound receiver. TV2 was connected to a 27” Sharp CRT in bedroom via RF...

I am considering changing to Direct from Dish. I have a 622 and use the swap button to buffer two shows quite often. Have you used the duel play feature much and how does it compare?

I am in the same situation but I am thinking up upgrading my TV2 to HD and so I am looking at Direct's whole house solution. It will save me a few $$ as well. I really like my ViP622 and wonder how the Direct's DVR will compare. I use the duel buffering of the 2 tuners all the time and I know...

I think that harshness is correct in that the AM21 probably just has a ATSC tuner and not an NTSC tuner for the few UHF stations still on the air. The NTSC modulation in the ViP 622 can be set to any current UHF channel and a wide range of Cable channel frequencies, but that still won't get me a...

I would be going in by using the OTA tuner

I am thinking of Moving from Dish to Direct. I have a vip622 and would like to save some programs that I have on it. I am thinking of getting a AM21 on my new Direct DVR, my question is, could it tune to one of the UHF channels that the 622 can put out? I am not worried about quality that much...

Since the chipset can produce the various options they should just get rid of the gray bar option and add the letterbox. I find the gray bar useless. I understand that it was for burn in prevention but since there is so much 16:9 material our there that I don't see it being used by many.

I run it in single mode and it is version now is 622. Whille I had letterbox on TV2 my HD set on TV1 was full screen.

I have a 622. After the last software update the HD picture on TV2 was in letterbox (black bars on top and bottom). SD channels were full screen. I found this to be a big improvement over the pre-update choice of normal, that displays a horizontally squished image or stretch that cuts off the...

Gee, I guess I am late. I usualy watch 13 OTA for the HD it was a real surprise to see the HD next to 13 on the guide. Great news.

I did not try the removing all inputs and then doing a cold boot. All I can say is that the replacement receiver worked fine all channels record and pause as they should. Regarding the statement that dish is not responsible to be able record OTA channels is bull. If I have a failure in...
