    Software Release Notes: HR20 / HR21 / HR22 / R22 Verison 0x0290

    I had to restart my unit about 12 times before it was useable today around 5pm. The resolution was screwed. (only on an old 1080i projection) I thought it was toast. It finally took and seems a bit more responsive.. Whats with the 1080p? Has anyone tried this?

    HR10-250 v6.3 Announcement / Release (It's out now!!)

    Will this thing upgrade when on Standby? HR10 On my HR10-250, will it call home and update and whatever while in standby mode? It just seems like it's completely turned off. Just want to make sure it will do its thing whether I'm viewing TV or its in standby mode.

    Is my splitter bad?

    I have two HD directv recievers with one standard roof mounted antenna using a standard cable splitter at the antenna, then each line combined with its own satellite cable to each tv, then separated by splitter to the receiver rear antenna and sat hook up. (with multiplexer/demultiplexer) One...

    Should I switch?

    I currently have the 3LNB dish & attic mounted OTA antenna, + one HTL HD receiver. I get all the locals over the air in HD, plus all the New York locals via Sat. I am not locked into any commitment subscription and I dont think there's any new HD channels yet. Is there any reason for me...

    Unsatisfied with D*picture quality

    Its not just directv, I can see it with dish network on my friends system, and I can see the compression on the local comcast digital cable that my mom has... Obviously its way less noticable on a smaller set, and way more noticable on a digital hd set, but its still there regardless of what you...

    Unsatisfied with D*picture quality

    Theres no problem with the tv's settings, its not signal strength its not sitting too close to the TV. The SD picture quality is just plain terrible. They must figure that more people have smaller sets and just dont notice it.. I can see it from 15 feet away from my 55 inch, its fuzzy and...

    New DIRECTV H20 MPEG-2/4 on sale

    But I like my Receiver!!! On a lighter note. Im angry that Im going to lose my nice "backlit" HTL-HD remote...(HRMC-17) Hell, I bought the similar Hughes SD reciever just to get the same remote...Well, its almost the same... Boo Hoo, I love those things in the dark.

    Comprehensive List of D* HD MPEG2 STB's?

    Boat anchor As for being a boat anchor, dont they still make very decent HD OTA receivers? I know my HTL_HD works without the card in it...Of course its no TIVO but it still works... I highly doubt local OTA stations are going to switch to MPEG 4 in the near future...

    SD channels above 99 - Picture Quality

    ok maybe Im wrong I'de swear that one rep told me 50 was included in the package...Maybe not...50 isnt the greatest anyhow but they still show a couple things in HD... Anyhow, so they are going to ask for a recent bill? Gee it seems that I shred those bills as soon as they are paid...Hmm

    Oval 3 LNB Dish Install Problem

    Get a cheap sat finder Get one of those 10 dollar sat signal finders on Ebay or where ever... When I first got my system, I couldn't hit the satellite to save my life, once I got the cheap signal finder i had my system up and running in minutes. You will of course, have to fine tune it, but it...

    SD channels above 99 - Picture Quality

    I know for a fact that Comcast here in the burbs offer all the locals, 2,5,7,9,11,32 and 50 in HD, same as Over the air, they also have INHD 1 & 2, ESPN-HD, TNTHD, Discovery HD, and supposedly Sports Net in HD when you get the digital classic package... I also here they are adding Universal HD...

    SD channels above 99 - Picture Quality

    I currently have DirecTV HD and I am considering switching to Comcast with their DVR deal and HDTV. DirecTV over-compresses their SD channels so that when viewed on a digital big screen HDTV it looks like a carpet of squares and a really fuzzy picture. Does comcast compress their upper digital...

    Why ABCW better than NBCW and CBSW?

    The local digital channels are always being broadcast in their native hd resolution but its the actual recordings of the shows/news/commercials that are not in the HD resolution, so that is why it doesnt look HD, but it looks better than analog, or the crappy overcompressed digital Directv basic...

    Ghosting=Bad built in multi-switch?

    One question, how are your TV's connected to your recievers, coax , DVI??Component, or S-video? RCA jack?...and also, are you running the coax through the surge protectors in some way?? Usually, those surge protector coax circuits are cheaply made and actually degrade signal. Im near...

    Buy new OTA antenna or wait for new satellites?

    I bought the cheapest channel master rooftop antenna at home depot with a 5 foot mast for 35 bucks...Its in my attic now...Works great. 300 bucks?!? they are smoking crack. Best Buy told me 200 for the install, and that's ridiculous...I did it myself.

    Hughes HTL-HD/Sony HD200-does the ATSC tuner work without the access card?

    HRMC-17 is the correct model number.. Unfortunately I have only found it for nothing less than $65.00...Jeez, I only payed $300 for the receiver and remote brand new...

    Weak OTA signals - 2 TVs

    Just use a good splitter in reverse, I did that with two cheapo indoor rabbit ears and picked a few channels up when I first got my HD receiver. Also try a preamp. Anyway as for the correct answer, at that distance, you need to get a tower and get above the tree line or building tops...

    Does anyone else see this on OTA HD?

    I have had the same problem since I've been using my OTA antenna for local HD broadcasts and I am getting a great signal.. Approximately 95 percent give or take. Most of the time its just an audio drop but sometimes picture also. It is my understanding that CBS here in Chicago, uses a lower...

    HDTV in chicago?

    Getting all of them. In addison here, just 20 miles from the loop and I get CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX in HD from Directv... Plus I get all the local digital from an OTA antenna. If you are not getting the channels through D*, you have to call...There are other threads on this but if one Rep doesnt...

    CBS HDTV Audio Drops Via OTA antenna?

    Well, I had to go out and buy the attenuator. Hooked it up... Seems to have improved the problem. Didn't do any extensive testing. Although I had to turn it down to the point of ABC not coming in good but its ok for now. The real test will be when I'm watching a full Episode of CSI... Thanks...

    CBS HDTV Audio Drops Via OTA antenna?

    Tried another outlet and no go. I will try the attenuator because it appears to be a cheap fix...I just wonder how it will affect the other channels. Am I correct in saying that this device reduces the signal throughout the entire band? Thanks Digital-Dan! Nyte

    CBS HDTV Audio Drops Via OTA antenna?

    To the best of my knowledge, near Chicago, CBS is broadcasting standard analog on VHF Channel 2, and HDTV on VHF channel 3. (whatever those frequencies actually are, I dunno.) ABC,NBC,WTTW-D, FOX, WGN are all using the upper UHF channels like 30+ Any time someone in the complex is using a...
