    No RESUME while watching DVR recordings. Ugg

    For all the great things I love about the Hopper. I already lothe not being able to check mark multiple programs to mass delete. I just noticed while watching a DVR recorded program and changing channel and going back to DVR menu there is only choices to START OVER or LIVE TV. Where is...

    How the heck can I delete easily from DVR without having to go one program at a time?

    Okay I know I must be lame. Before the Hopper and on every other DVR I have had. There is a place to as example pull up DVR folder for Seinfeld and simply place a check in box next to all episodes I want to delete and then simply choose delete. Verify and then its gone. On the Hopper I only...

    At wits end with Hopper standby then freeze each night at 1am while watching. BUNK!

    I only have one issue but its huge in my eyes! I work swing shift so I start watching TV about midnight. Each night at 1am exactly the box wants to turn off to look for updates. If I catch it I simply answer NO and all is good. However if I am in the kitchen, out of room, or simply do not...

    Can I get locals spotbeams of SF in Seattle?

    I know Dish has all but abandoned the spotbeams as my bro is able to do the address trick now and gets his SF sports from locals in San Fran now in Idaho. However I am a pure Direct HD mark and know that since about 2003 you could not do the address trick for locals as the beam only covered...

    Why no thread on the HUGE VOD freeze problem?

    This is my home site. However I was shocked when noone seemed to understand my huge problem with my Hr20 and now replacement Hr21 locking up multiple times per day when VOD used. I searched and found PAGES of complaints about this problem on Dbstalk. Here is what I have found. First off my...

    After the debacle of the Hr20 locking up after over a year and them sending me a new hr21. I asked if since my 20 was still fine since it was a software issue and I need my OTA if I could keep the 21. They said they will waive the sale cost and just do the extra receiver for the 5 bucks a month...

    DTV Lead Tech says NO differance between Hr 100-700 models

    Was talking with the lead tech in the internet dept about the issue with the HR20-21 freezing if network cable plugged in. I asked why all the fuss between the 100-700 Models of the Hr20-Hr21. He said they laugh at all the forum posts about this. He said there is only one differance. The 100...

    What would cause H20 to freeze up daily???

    My one year old hr20 HD DVR about a month ago started to freeze screen but sound still working. Only way to get screen unfrozen is to unplug. Also sometimes when screen is not frozen I would get remote and it would not work the box. Like the box would not work with remote all the sudden. Then I...

    last question. Can I diplex my OTA with Dtv.

    Sorry, Long time Dish guy who is switching to DTV. Last question. I currenly have my OTA diplexed along with my Dish signal to my 622. I thought I read somewhere that you can not Diplex with the 5lnb Ku.KA DTV signal. This is not good. Will the Dish installer run a 75ft new coax run from my OTA...

    Next question. what is phone line requirment?? and switch?

    With Dish I pay the 5 bucks so I did not have to have a 75foot phone cord on floor to downstairs. They did not mention phone line requirments when setting up installation. Does Directv require a phone line? I have my wireless router setup at my downstairs for my xbox and replay. Can Directs...

    Why is DVR not free? Is there a better deal?

    9 year Dishnet guy who has finally given up on waiting for NFL. I currently have a Dish 622 and a 508. My question is that I went to Directv website to sign up and it gives me a HD DVR model h-20? (hopefully as good as my 622) for a fair price of 199.00 after instant rebate. Same or about...

    Can you stop or erase Dish on demand from 622 hard drive?

    This is both driving me crazy and mad. Each day I go to my DVR recorded list to watch my shows, I see I am loosing tons of space to unwanted Dish on demand garbage. Its the only thing I can think is causing it. Currently it says 622 that I have 13 on demand movies or shows available. I dont use...
