    If you are plugged into a power strip and have surge potection, try another strip. The surge strips will go bad after time and one of the symtoms is the DVR keeps resetting.

    Buying HD Receiver Off eBay - Lease Free?

    Get the seller to post the receiver Id and card number, then call D* and see if it is a least receiver. They will probably still come back and tell you it's leased. But it may be worth a try.

    Statement from Dish Network on Young Broadcasting Removal

    I agree, they need to keep our dictatorship (formerly democratic) government out of it. My opinion is E* has to stand their ground. If they give in and the rest of the broadcasters see they can get more $$ then all of them will force E*'s hand. And of course, all the higher costs to re-broadcast...

    HR-21 problems

    I had problems with the HR-20's freezing on re-boot and had to unplug the ethernet cable for the reboot to complete. Even though this is not your problem I thought I would mention it since somehow the ethernet port does have some type connection with the software and could cause problems other...

    What is the deal with Mark Spitz??!!

    Mark put us on the map in 72 and made us proud for years afterwards. It has taken 36 years to beat his accomplishments. Ok, so he's crying over some spilled milk. Lets look at the bigger picture here, that Phelps is kicking butt, taking no prisoners and putting us back on the map again.

    Question about service technician fees

    If the customer is too damn lazy to look up a phone number themselves, then yes their lazy ass should have to pay the convenience fee for you to do it. It's a shame you can't tell them how you really feel! Customers come in my shop and want an estimate to fix their brakes. 30 minutes later...

    Why are some forums so D* biased?

    So where do I fit in? I have both. I tend to agree with you on the fight of who has a bigger unit. One of these past posts talked about a guy driving a few hundred miles to make his point to some other blogger. I would say that is extreme.

    My daughter's first sleep over!

    Kid's are alot tougher than we parents give them credit for. It's probably more tramatic on you as a father then it is on them. I'm glad her spirits are up and she will probably have a good story to tell her kids when they want to go to their first sleep over.

    30 sec skip...

    The 30 second skip will work with the latest D* downloaded software. The HR21's updates were rolled out last week or so. The 20's were updated a while back. You have to have the newer update before you can activate the skip function. Follow the search procedure that is listed earlier in this post.

    Do Forums matter

    It was these forums that helped me decide which direction to go. I was leaning on Blu-ray and reading information here helped me decide to go with them. There was a lot of opinions why who's was bigger but between the lines, Blu-ray was getting a better reception. Where else could you you go and...

    Video On Demand Active as of Today

    If you connected your DVR to the internet, D* automatically saw you were connected and they downloaded your DVR with the DOD software. See past posts on this sight. I also went on the web in my account and clicked on the approval button to let them view my viewing habits. (Not sure if that was...

    How many HDTV's are in your house

    Re-phrase.... I jumped threads. Someone was making a big hoopla about HD should be the least worries right now for E* and I jumped here to take the poll. So ignore the BB comment. Thanks

    No RF capability with hr20-100??

    I set all my HR's to RF and had no problems except for the double click that was mentioned earlier in this post. If you got a spare E* antenna, plug that one in and try it. ( I know, why would I even have a spare E* antenna in my house? Just thought I would throw it out their since I...

    Weird HR20-700 issue

    First check your fridge to see if you are missing any food. Then leave a note for your neighbor kid to turn off the receiver when done. Second, do you have the unit plugged into a surge protector? if so, try a different one. The surge protectors go bad causing disruptions to the equipment...

    Sony was #1 LCD vendor in 4th quarter

    It must have been that XBR5 I bought in December that pushed Sony in the #1 spot. One nice picture. And I have always been a plasma fan.

    Please Read: Uplink Report Update by Scott

    If something has value to you personally, then you should do something to support it. The information I continue to get front this web site to feed my addiction for satellite electronics has a great value to me. With this in mind, I felt it necessary to give back so I could continue to receive...

    622 Lost HDMI output

    I just went thru my 622 having a dead HDMI port. It took a week to get a replacement unit. Mine may have been dead for awhile since I was connected with Component and upgraded my TV and switched to HDMI. From this string, it seems E* is having a major issue with the port failing. I just wish I...

    DirecTV Price Increase Effective 2/27/08

    If you look at any corporate business model, the pencil pushers factor in the effects when considering a price increase. If they are looking for a 2% increase in profit, they go 3% They know that raising the price will erode the customer base and calculate what they feel will be a loss of income...

    HR20-100 & 700 National Software Release's 0x1EA

    30 skip I think the minor confusion on activating 30 second skip. To switch between 30 second skip and 30 second slip is to go to menu, search for shows, keyword and then type in 30skip (no spaces) and continue. Then click all, when no results found comes up, click done. You set your receiver...
