    Well kinda of, I'm getting lots of jitter when watching stuff. I can not pin point when and what, put it looks like some sort of compression problem. Missing frames or something.

    Searching for Signal in.. 771 (HR21)

    I had the same problem, after the tech replaced everything, they found the LNB to be bad, once they changed out the 5 lnb all was fine. My sat's were all above 85, the problem seems the dish will send signals down the line. but no picture, this is what took so long to find the problem.

    DirecTV HD Reception Problems

    I have a hd dvr unit. I have the same issue. Most, if not all HD channels get the "771 on 2" The "2" is the key as that I'm told this is the problem. I switched my cables and also switched the small boxes on the inputs. Nothing changed, same 771 on 2 error. Real bad on local HD stations. I use...

    DVR and recording missing

    It is sometimes hard to recreate. Since there is no description, you kinda forget what you set manually, maybe days in advance. Auto recording seems to work fine, thats why this may be odd. Since I now can set recordings via the web, I can look at the last minute to record certain items.

    DVR and recording missing

    Well kinda. I watch lots of soccer on FSC, GOL and Setanta. On GOL it will sometimes just list the program time slot and no details. Later about an hour before (maybe less no way of knowing as I'm not there to see) the details appears and my manually set recording is gone, and no recording is...

    Complain to who?

    My hd unit has been running over 6 months now. so I think that is enough time. Say like the dates for womens soccer was updated after the first rounds were over, those dates were weeks in advance, thats ESPN channels, I'm sure ESPN makes sure all the outlets were up to date well in advance...

    Complain to who?

Nothing worse than search for an item that is repeated several times a week and all there is is "no info available" I hate having go to 5 different web sites to see their...

    HR20-100: CE07165 - 0x168 June 14 & 15

    Mine upgraded during wednesday afternoon. I came home from work and it was all nutty, I ended up hitting the red button on the rec and let it do the rest. Things do seem different. Watched CBS last night for the AFI special, not a good channel to watch as the screens were changing from 240 to...

    What am I watching?

    I thought that was about right, just didnt know. Is it normal for the sound to be so low on HD channels? I really have to crank up the volume to hear it off my TV set. Regular channels seem fine. I did notice some audio was breaking up last week with this unit but seem to be OK now, what...

    HR20 not playing recorded shows / not recording

    I'll go out on a limb here, but, If the recorded show asked if you want to save or delete when you try to view it. Seems to me that the information that the box is getting is that it has been watched, am I right. so if your watching a recording show this may be the case, also even if your not...

I asked about the NFL deal, he...

    HD and Tivo

    First-I do not use or purchase the yearly football package from D*, I notice that the HD Tivo unit is about $300 cheaper at BB now and wonder if this unit is worth the $$. Will any new HD packages or channels be combatiple with this unit in the future. Or do I wait for another new $1k unit to...

    Phase III transponder signal strength

    Make sure your center conductor has enough length at the fittings. sometimes in long runs, the center conductor will retract and loose connection or provide an bad one. Temperture has a big roll in this. My cable phone used to go wacking at night but fine during the day all due to extrem high...

    Rapid Satellite and DTV Bait and Switch???

    I might be numb here, but why didnt you contact dtv for the sale and install? Or go to a local rep. If you buy from online retailers, your better off doing the install yourself, Like I did 9 years ago, but that is different, I know. Money is always a factor, but how much is your time being...
