    HR20 Hard Drive Upgrade

    Others might have some more knowledgable input...but here's my $0.02. Usually, multiple drive enclosures provide some sort of RAID...I don't see anything mentioned on the product page. If you have 2 * 500GB drives, do you get a total of 1GB storage? The RAID # will tell you this. I'm also...

    HR20-100 0x18a info bug

    I recorded the Haunted "Pilot" episode on HDN at 3am this morning. When I have the Info "page" open for that recording, and I select the Episodes menu, the show "blurb" is actually for the episode of Dan Rather Reports (also on HDN, and also something I recorded). The heading for the info page...

    HR20 Hard Drive Upgrade

    From a few posts I've seen over at DBSTalk.com, port multiplier enclosures are not the way to go. Apparently, the HR20 will only see the first drive.

    HR20-100 0x18a recording issue

    I'm certainly sorry to hear about your problems with the upgrade. It wasn't until I read some of the threads on DBSTalk that I realized how many problems some people had experienced. So far, most of the issues I've encountered have been relatively minor. We were using the DVR last night, so I...

    HR20-100 0x18a recording issue

    Our Series Link for Numb3rs HD didn't record last night at 9pm Central. The History list shows "Cancelled", and the details say: "This episode was partially recorded because of an unexpected error. (3)" It did not keep whatever it did record, as there's nothing in the playlist. What does...

    H20-100 / Aug. 31 & Sep. 1 / {CE:08:05} 0x2030

    Thanks. I guess that's why the "bleeding edge" can be the result of living on the "cutting edge". I'll just try and be patient. :( I assume I already have the Engineering Charge on my bill as I've already activated the networking on the DVR...which it sounds like people should have done prior...

    H20-100 / Aug. 31 & Sep. 1 / {CE:08:05} 0x2030

    My mistake. In my eagerness I missed the fact that this thread was for H20-100 and not HR20-100. Bummer about the VOD. What was the backlash that occured with it's rollout for -700? The messages I've seen didn't seem to characterize it as being that poorly implemented...just lacking a bit on...

    No mention of VOD... So we (HR20-100 users) don't get VOD with this update? I've already got the Engineering Charge entry on my online bill...

    Screen Captures of the VOD channels D* is testing

    It's nice that you can start watching a show before the download completes, but how does it handle the situation where you catch-up with the downloading process. Even if you've got a great connection, the servers themselves might have limitations. Does it pause, and indicate that it's waiting...

    How to Activate DIRECTV on Demand with HR20-700

    If they use a BitTorrent type protocol for the downloading then, the more users there are the more likely other people are downloading the same content...then the faster the download would be for those people. Plus, people who have downloaded the content, would be seeds for newer downloaders...

    Name that Beer in honor of D10 and Directv's new HD channels!

    Satel Lite. OK, so it's "dark." So sue me. :p Useful tag lines: It's dark, but you'll be Lite headed. "Bring me a beer, make it a Porter...I've got too much baggage..."

    HR20-100 0x18a possible 2nd Tuner issue

    A simple reboot (I should have thought of trying this earlier) seems to have taken care of the 2nd Tuner issue. I now see: Under Setup/Info & Test/System Info: Features/Tuner: Tuner 1: SAT, Record Tuner 2: SAT, Record Off-Air Tuner 1: ATSC, Record Off-Air Tuner 2: ATSC, Record Whew...

    HR20-100 0x18a possible 2nd Tuner issue

    Hi, I first reported this issue in the thread for the most recent update, but I thought it was a Prioritizer/Conflict Manager issue. After further investigation, it appears that I can no longer record on my 2nd Tuner at all. Under Setup/Info & Test/System Info: Features/Tuner: Tuner 1: SAT...

    HR20-100 / Aug. 24 & 25 / {CE:08:01} - 0x18a

    As I've been working through the scheduling issues w/MI (mentioned in the previous message), it's starting to seem like the DVR thinks it can only record one program at a time. The Confict Manager is only ever showing one program that can be cancelled to schedule another recording. I've tried...

    HR20-100 / Aug. 24 & 25 / {CE:08:01} - 0x18a

    Found 2 issues I updated to the 0x18a version about 10:45pm Central Friday night. The first attempt didn't work (no downloading notice), so I probably just hadn't started entering in the download "code" soon enough. The second attempt worked fine w/no issues. Here's two things I've run into...

    Playback bug encountered with HR20-100 (0x17e)

    I've tried a few times, and have not yet been able to reproduce this "bug". Should I only report reproducable bugs? -Chris

    Playback bug encountered with HR20-100 (0x17e)

    I've not yet tried to reproduce the problem. The step I outlined are the exact order in which things/actions occured. Unfortunately, I had a friend over last weekend, so it wasn't convienient to get the latest update. :mad:

    Playback bug encountered with HR20-100 (0x17e)

    I've only encountered this bug once, but I felt it was worth mentioning: Watching a recorded show. Pressed List. Selected the active show an pressed the "dash" key twice to delete it. Scrolled down and opened a folder (Dead Zone) First entry was automatically selected (Episode named "Drift"...

    HR20 Bug w/Internet and TVersity

    All content is in other folders, or on external (FireWire) drives. I couldn't get UNC paths working for the content on different machines.

    HR20 Bug w/Internet and TVersity

    Thanks. That seemed to do the trick...though the HR20 didn't see the server for a while, and music playback with slideshow seems to have crashed the DVR again. Music playback by itself worked OK, as did photos... I'll try again later. -Chris

    Caller ID

    Mine was working fine, then stopped about 2 weeks ago. The phone connection itself had a problem in the DVR, as Info/Test showed a problem (no useful error message), and the guide hadn't been updated. A simple reset (I used the red button in the right-side panel, but I understand using the...

    HR20 Hard Drive Upgrade

    I went with: Amazon.com: Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 GB USB / eSATA External Hard Drive ST307504FPA1E2-RK: Electronics ($242) Newegg.com - SIIG 6.56 ft. eSATA to eSATA Cable Model CB-SA0211-S1 - Retail ($20.99) It does seem faster than the original internal drive, especially deletes. -Chris
