    Lost my external Hard Drive

    Its not that this hasn't happened before on occasion. Sometimes it will drop out on a reboot, but after one or two restarts I've always manage to get it to come back online. I've now been stymied on 5+ (?) attempts. Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions? Antec MX-1 case with...

    Decreased remote range

    Not sure if its just my remotes, my boxes or my software (4cc), but both my IR and RF ranges have decreased down to 2 feet or so. I had been on RF and when that basically quit working a few (several?) days ago, I switched back to IR. While hat seemed to work well for a day, I'm now back down to...

    To Blu-Ray or Not to Blu-Ray...

    Greets: After reading through many threads on many sites, I have come to the rather depressing conclusion that I would not really gain much from a jump to Blu-Ray. Here's my thinking: Current video gear: Sammy PN58A550 1080p plasma Oppo DV-980H upscaler I sit 12 or so feet away from my...

    Wireless HD MRV

    I'm guessing that its asking too much for my WGA600n connected to my wrt54g to do HD...? Kinda of a bummer. Anyone have any wireless success with an n gaming adapter and an n router with HD MRV? Might be worth the router upgrade even though I just replaced my wrt54g with a new one... Guess I...

    Wireless connection

    Hi all... I know that the WGA600n (~$90) is a supported adapter which will configure directly with the HR2x series without hooking up to a computer, but frankly that's not that big a deal to me... I can use my laptop to get in on my network. My router is a Linksys G using wpa2 and I don't...

    My new-ish HR22-100

    I installed this receiver just before Thanksgiving with only one feed from my dish as it replaced an SD box to which the installer only ran one cable since that's all it required. In the past few days, I had the opportunity to to run another line to it and connected it to the box and dish...

    Powerline w/ a switch?

    Has anyone tried using a switch on one of Directv's powerline network adapters? I am wondering if I can use this arrangement for a new hddvr and wii (and later perhaps a ps3 as well). They wouldn't be sharing simultaneous bandwidth, so that's not the issue, just whether it will work at all...

    Shadow 1 Shadow 2 Shadow 3

    Did anyone happen to record and watch the NBC feed of the US Open on Monday? Around the 23 minute mark, the audio went silent for a few seconds. Then there was a robotic voice "Shadow 1, Shadow 2, Shadow 3" spoken in left speaker, right speaker, both. "Shadow 4, Shadow 5, Shadow 6" with the...

    Powerline Adapters

    I am trying to figure out what is really needed for networking to an HR20 without wired access to my network. I have seen powerline adapters ranging in speed from 85 -> 200mb/s with the 200s costing about 2x the 85s. My worry is that the 85mbs might not be enough reliable bandwidth for...

    Locals in HD in Tucson?

    This is weird. I noticed last night that channel 4 (local NBC) seemed to be in HD. I switched over to 4-1 (OTA HD) and it was the same HD signal. I thought maybe some CE software update may have consolidated 4-1 to 4 so today I unplugged my OTA antenna - killing 4-1 and switched back to 4...

    Mediashare and Divx

    Over the past year+ I've bought into the whole Divx thing and have been using that codec as my primary storage medium... This has worked great as I've been able to watch the videos on my computer, my Divx enabled DVD players or burn the Divx as a DVD if I need to. Unfortunately, it now occurs...

    My First CE experience

    As I just recently switched to D* from E*, I haven't had any reason to explore this forum and discover that beta software is available for the -700. I am currently downloading 01A6 and am somewhat excited to see what a beta can do. I'll keep you posted as someone new to the experience...

    New install w/ 3 LNB?

    Hi all. Long time lurker here. I recently switched from E* to Direct (mainly for HD) and have been very happy so far. So happy in fact that while visiting my father, I managed to convince him to switch from Mediacom and upgrade to an HDTV and HD-DVR - which he's been wanting to do for some...
