I am pushing an HR24-200, and want to add a low-cost DVD player that will handle 1080 HD. Don't care if it is Blu-Ray, since that seems to be a dying spec. Don't want 3D. What I **do** need re three DVD players (so I don't have to learn a whole new setup for each room). Decent picture...

So, I have an HR24-100 unit with the RC-65rbx remote, attempting to run a Samsun BD-E5400 Blu-Ray machine. I used the programming code given for this device, #20199. It works...kinda. Does not work for the color keys, nor for the "enter" key. Is there a way to program these? A better...

D* may not have to care about the AM21 or OTA. Congress is re-opening the satellite and cable re-authorization, and may address local channels and markets. Probably not this year, but certainly in the next two...

I had the same problem with my HR24-100. After years of working fine, it suddenly gave me overheat messages and shut down. It is not a ventilation problem with the box location. I surmised the cooling fan in the unit was failing. Called D* and they replaced the box with another...Two weeks...

In recent weeks, I have developed a problem with a substantial volume difference between HD and SD channels, and also between HD channels and items recorded to the DVR. I am running an HR24-100 receiver. I also recently replaced a Vizio TV with a Philips. The volume differential is more...

I am finding that more and more when I try to record a movie from a channel, it tries to "flip" me over to D* On Demand instead...to receive the same movie, but with a charge for it. In general, I have to say that On Demand is little more than hype. I wouldn't spend a plugged nickel on any of...

The OP is missing the point. The purpose of giving you a free movie in return for a text is that DTV's marketing department gets your cell phone information for their use in marketing, and marketing to partners, and selling to third parties. If you don't have a cell phone number to give them...

I'm okay with a modest increase, in a time when inflation is a little over 3% per year and my pay is increasing as well. However, I do think this begs a change in how channels are acquired and packaged -- I, for one, have little use for many of the new channels. . .Discovery 4, 5 and 6. ...

You need the TiVo I have a DVD recorder, and the simple truth is that I TiVo lots of stuff I don't want to spend another $2 to keep on DVD. With the TiVo, I can preview the stuff without spending another nickle. If I decide to archive something to DVD, I am able to get all of the parts...

119 Satellite Okay, so here's another question. I have the 18" oval, triple LNB setup. I get the 101 sat and the 110 sat just fine, at 96 percent plus. I don't get the 119 sat at all. I have four lines coming off the LNB. Two go to a multiplexer, running DVR40s in Bedroom 1 and Bedroom2...

From USA Today, 11/29/04: New DVR may have video on demand By David Lieberman, USA TODAY NEW YORK — DirecTV is preparing to offer a digital video recorder (DVR) service in mid-2005 that could duplicate virtually every feature now available from current partner TiVo, plus provide video on...

It is **Not** the receiver. I have the same problem with my current Sony, and had it with my previous Harmon-Kardon. This is a satellite problem, not a receiver problem. Dave

Check remotecentral.com. The remotes they are using are private label jobs from UEI, and their guides do not list all of the capable alternate codes the devices can use. Dave

It isn't just the HD channels. . .all of the premium movie channels do it as well. I suspect it is deliberate, not just a glitch. D claims they know nothing about it. . . Dave

For almost two years, I have seen a brief audio dropout on premium movie channels on D. HBO, encore, etc. Changed receivers. Still there. Using a Directivo and recording the program, the audio dropout is recorded, so I know it is not a cable or receiver problem. Is this some bizarre...

An awesomely good idea, but my receiver is already on the AV1 set. What I don't understand is that this thing seems to follow the same code set as other UEI remotes, except that the 0158 code set that has always worked before doesn't work. I may just have to accept the fact that this is...

Thanks, but. . . Thanks for the input. The southern humor is always engaging, but please note: The "universal remote" featured on the web page is not the "universal remote" that DTV is actually selling. The new remote is to be found nowhere on their web site, and there is no reference to...

I really like my DVR40s, but am using one on a home theatre system, and the DirecTivo remote is. . .well, pretty limited. I spoke with D about this, and they sent me the "universal version" of the remote, which allows programming of two additional devices -- VCR, DVD, stereo amp, etc. So...

I want More HD. . . Yeah, and I want a more active sex life, a flat income tax and a conservative in the White House. Meanwhile, back here on planet Earth, let's look at reality for a moment. There are not enough of us to make HD financially lucrative for ANYONE right now. This is a spec...

Wow! Earth calling. . . Are you actually reading any of these messages? I'm as big a geek as the next guy, but even I know that there just isn't enought HD out there to satisfy the casual user. . . Sure, I could buy the rig tomorrow (Confession. . .already have some of it in place), but...

Can't receive 119 Satellite Actually, I had the same problem last night. Called D* tech support, and they told me that without a receiver for HDTV or the Japanese language broadcasts, you can't tune in the 119. . .my receiver is not set to receive those signals. Makes sense. . .anyone have...
