    Roadrunner moving to DOCSIS 3.0

    Anyone know when this will be happening in the Ohio area? I was told by a rep that it was coming "soon", but no ETA. Any more details floating around out there?

    Getting ticked at EBay and DirecTV

    I have had several listings for receivers removed from EBay, saying that the listing violated their copyright or trademark policy. I have tried to contact both of them and get an answer on what can and cannot be listed or shown in the ad to prevent it from happening again, but I can't get a...

    Sluggish remote response on the HR22 and R22

    I'm sure everyone already knows this, but the receiver models HR21, HR22, HR23 and R22 are very slow to respond to remote commands. Is there any plan to fix this in the future? It's quite annoying.

    VIP 222 dropping picture and sound

    I had a customer today with a 222 that kept dropping sound. The video would continue to play, but no audio. If you reset the box, sometimes you would have the same problem again, other times you would keep the audio, but lose video. It was connected to the TV with the RGB cables for video and...

    522/625 receiver issues

    Has anyone been having trouble with DVR boxes lately? I've replaced probably close to a dozen in the last week. The biggest problem is that they keep resetting themselves. Some intermittently, others non-stop. Others have had bad hard drives. And then I had one today where the signal was...
