    How much worse can NBC-HD get ?

    I'm looking for a little education. I've been having audio problems on CBS HD network programming. How do I determine if the problem is with the network, the local affiliate or my equipment? The most evident problems have been with Network Programming.

    HD Audio problem on CBS

    Has anyone experience any audio problems on the CBS HD Broadcast. I keep getting what I would describe as an "electronic Hickup" or "Skip" on CBS. Sometimes it's so bad I can't even watch the channel. Durring the Grammies, it got real bad and I called DirecTV. They had me flip flop my coax...

    HR20 not playing recorded shows / not recording

    I've had the some problem 2 times over the past 2 weeks with my HR20. PPV was not involved. The first time I did a reset and it didn't correct the problem so I just deleted the program. The second time when I hit play, it locked up my whole system. I was forced to do a reset. When the reset...

    HR 20... Kind of Noisy

    It's hard to describe the "choppyness", but it just seems hard to use the 30 second skip, then quickly rewind .... to hit that spot between the comercials and the show you're watching.... I guess I'm just used to smoother fast and slow scanning.... Also most of the time if I just back arrow...

    HR 20... Kind of Noisy

    I recently installed an HR-20. Everything seems great with the exception of a few issues. One is that the fast forward and rewind seem a bit "choppy." Another is that the box makes these annoying ticking sounds when you view recorded programs. Has anyone else noticed this? Are they just...

    Formats ? Want to use my tv's

    I'm new to the site too, but I've picked up a lot from reading the posts. On a related issue. When I'm watching a channel and I get the black bars on the side of my 42 inch plasma (Panasonic TH-42PX60U), do I need to worry about "burn in"? It's a HR 20 receiver....

    HR-20 Enhancments

    I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone knows if D* is working on any enhancements for the HR-20, besides the various glitches and performance issues I've read about on the forum over the last few months. I am particulary wondering if: 1. They plan to fix the 30 second skip to be less...

    HDMI Cables

    Am I really going to notice a difference between a "High End" HDMI cable which costs $100 or more and a "bargain" HDMI cable from somewhere like Cables Direct that costs $30?

    Do it all over again..

    I'm with you jpn. I picked up D* in 1997. I dealt with the local channel issues back then and stuck it out with D* because I HATE COMTRASH. Eventually D* introduced Tivo and I was the biggest promoter of their company. Recently I moved and signed up as a new customer to get a free R-15...

    R15 - No Live TV button ??

    I feel your pain. Wait till you notice that the R-15 won't filter out repeats.... I'm still using my Phillips DSR 7000 as my primary box. Luckily I got the R-15 for free. D* said they hoped to fix this problem some time in 2007.

    HR-20 - Bottom Line

    Thanks to everyone who posted. I guess I'll give D* on more try.:) I hope I can get the HR-20 by X-mass. My new Plasma looks pretty bad with the analog signal from my old Phillips DSR 7000. FYI. I understand that any box will be dependent on the guide data to filter out repeats, my real...

    HR-20 - Bottom Line

    Not a hard core Tivo User Thank you for your response. I'm not really a hard core Tivo user, but I really feel that it was a major screw-up to put out the R-15 when it had a major programming flaw. It will not filter out repeats, even though the GUI allows you to set it to do so. DirecTV...

    HR-20 - Bottom Line

    What's the bottom line on the HR-20 HD DVR? I have a Phillips DSR 7000 Tivo box that works great. I also have an R-15 that is sub-par. I can't filter out repeats and it locks up on occasion. I want to upgrade to a HD DVR. Should I give DirecTV one last chance or should I switch to...... God...

    R-15 vs Phillips DSR 7000

    I understand that there is a known problem with the R-15 DVR that prevents it from ignoring repeats when you set the DVR to record recurring episodes of a program. Does anyone know exactly when the software upgrade to correct this will come out? I've been a DirecTV customer since 1998 and am...
