Well I'm not retarded - I know what a DirecTV receiver is and how it looks different from a Dish receiver. But I did call and confirm that this was DirecTV and not some marketing scam - But in the first place, when the guy called, he knew my name, the title of my DVR (Like the room it was in)...

On Saturday, I got a call from a DirecTV rep. that said that he detected that there was a low signal report on one of my HD DVR's (HR20). I said that I didn't notice anything in particular going wrong, but he asked if he could get me to check the signal strength for him and report them to him...

How about Sling capabilities like the new Dish 722s are supposed to have? Just a thought.

Exactly. The USB translator cable is just a USB to serial cable which you can get off of Newegg for $15 bucks. Just download their software, get the cable from newegg, and your set. Thanks for the link!

I don't know if you understand what I am trying to get at exactly... :(:confused: What do you mean that the HR20 can only pull content from a server? I am not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean the remote booking? Basically, my goal is to use a serial to USB cable to control the HR20 in...

I know that it is possible to control the lower DTV receiver models (D10 and such) using a Serial - USB adapter. However, I could not find anywhere stating that an HR-20 could be controlled by a similar cable. My reason for asking is as follows. If you have any suggestions, let me know: I have...

me!

mee!

Hey everyone. I just checked my reciever, and DOD was enabled. I am on the CE from two Fridays ago, and I just placed an online booking request like last night. Looks like placing those requests enables DOD. Just wanted to see if any of you all have this too.

Finally! Some Baton Rouge people around here. I don't mind DTV not having the HD locals. I have a 120" antenna in my attic, and get all the channels: 2,9,19,21,27,33,44 in HD. I think 19 and 21 are from New Orleans I live off of Harells Ferry Rd (Off of ONeal) So, not too bad for being on the...

By any chance, are you in Louisiana? Those apartments look very similar...

Same here. But I also don't have the engineering charge on my account although my HR20 is on the net

How exactly do you enable vod? I click Menu - Search for Shows - Keyword - IWANTMYVOD - Continue - All - Enter. Is that how ur supposed to do it? Whats the stuff about enabling Misc stuff in the VOD guide?

You are such an accomplished person, that you don't have anything else better to do that update your DirecTV receiver. You did do everything else in life, didn't you? Lol.

Same here. Just as I typed this, shot up to 97%. Edit: Now stuck at 100%. If this is taking sooo long, this must have some major updates. Hopefully, VOD :) Edit 2: Up and rebooting.

Hey guys. I just started the update, and it says it upgrading to 019A. Is this right? Or should it just say 019?

I've seen the new HD channels offered on DirecTV's site. I don't know if I have the Choice or Choice Xtra plans. The reason I ask is because I get most of the Choice Extra channels, but more than the Choice regular channels. For example, I get G4TV, but not Boomerang. I currently have the $9.99...

My installer who aimed my dish was amazing. He new the coordinates for my area, and he aimed the dish just by the coordinates he knew. Checked it on the receiver, and had 97% strength with a long cable run. No further adjustments necessary, no meter used during installation. That blew me away. 5...

All went well today. The installation guys came at 9 o'clock instead of 4 - 8 PM like it said on my order. I didnt mind though. :) They called and asked if they could come over, and I said sure... I got the DVR working, but I wanted to know if I can stream videos over ethernet to the HR20. I...

Its a sad day today. :( The DTV installer called me this morning and said that I only had a work order for 1 HD DVR and no dish. He was in a rush, and he said "Just call DirecTV". I called DirecTV and they told me "Uhh. We forgot to put it into the other system." The installer is coming by...

Hey Guys, Why all the fighting? Why can't we all agree that DirecTV is better than everything else? Lol. Anyways, when the guy comes to install tomorrow, can I ask him to ground the satellite for free? My current sat is not grounded, and the nearest ground is about 30 feet away. Will he...

Yeah. And why would DTV spend millions on launching a new satellite just to announce "We launched it for no reason. We just felt like it. We now have HD capacity for 100 new channels, but don't feel like utilizing it" While DISH, who has no more bandwidth, will say "Here are 5 more HD...

Wow. Your bill after the discounts must be crazy high. I don't wanna pay more than $60. I remember a long time ago when w/o discounts, a two TV DirecTV setup cost me $32 a month for Total Choice Plus.

Thanks for the replies everyone. My dish is This is the three LNB dish, because there are 3 LNB's right? (Each thing is a LNB, right?) I just called DTV and talked to "Paul". He had no problem with what I asked for. He gave me an HD DVR, a new HD reciever (I didnt need it, but he gave me one)...
