I switched to Dish from DirecTV on Sunday. The main reason I switched was for more national HD. Dish has the channels I wanted and DirecTV does not. I got the 922 and it is much better than the DVR I had with DirecTV. The 922 responds when I hit a button, not 2 or 3 seconds later. I'm glad I...

The 360 and Wii here both download stuff much faster than the PS3 (all are using wireless). I've stopped downloading anything except required system updates on the PS3 because it is so slow.

I don't like the cartoon style artwork so I won't be getting it.

You tilt your head forward to look down and back to look up. Same with the controls. The non-inverted scheme is the one that doesn't make sense.

I was getting an error in clnetshow.dll when I clicked on play. I uninstalled PowerDVD and now it works.

I uninstalled PowerDVD and that solved the problem. DirecTV2PC is now working. HD playback is smooth. Had to unlock parental controls for some shows to be available.

Crashes with an access violation in clnetshow.dll when I tell it to play a show. XP with latest service pack and video drivers. nVidia 8800 GTX.

The program starts up fine, but when I click on play to watch something, it gets an access violation in clnetshow.dll. XP with the latest service pack and drivers. nVidia 8800 GTX.

Peg A and slot B.

The main thing I miss about the HR10-250 was the guide format. It made it a lot easier to see what was coming on. It was similar to what you get now if you highlight the channel on the left and hit the info button, but showed more information quicker. I would switch to a new DirecTivo just for...

The DirecTV tech just left. Swapping out the multiswitch fixed the problem with the new mpeg4 channels.

I have the same issue on an HR20-100. On any of the mpeg4 mirrored channels (hdnet, discovery home theater, etc.) I get the 771 message. If I leave it there, the channel will usually appear after about 4 minutes of displaying the message, but changing to another channel and back gives the 771...

When I last tested earlier, I was still receiving 498 and 9301, but had lost 9300 when it switched to A&E. I just got back and checked again. I'm still receiving 9301, but now 498 and 9300 are both blank. HR20-100 0x18A

In the last couple of minutes (around 6:00pm central) I lost 9300. Just has a black screen now. Still getting 9301.

I've been able to receive all the test channels previously and I am still receiving them. My father was only getting the two B band channels with a blank screen on 498. Today he is getting the slide on 498 and also receiving 9300 and 9301.

Not in this case. I prefer subtitles. I've only seen the B&W version of Casablanca. I didn't care for it. Adding color would not have improved it.

The 360 does a great job at upconverting DVDs. You don't even need the HD-DVD add-on for that. The newer 360s do have HDMI. The 360 will output true 1080p with HDMI or with a VGA cable if you have an older 360. The rules prevent them from doing 1080p over component. The max you will get with...

I understand about OAR and the directors' "artistic vision". I still don't care about the extraneous image on the left and right. It is not important to me and doesn't make enough of a difference to justify wasting screen space and giving a smaller picture in the middle of a large screen. I...

There are very few movies that need a half-height wider screen. The action is almost always concentrated in the area that would perfectly fit a full screen HD-TV. The extra scenery on the sides contributes very little and does not justify wasting almost half of the vertical resolution on an HD-TV.

I would like for HD-DVD (and Blu-Ray) movies to be full screen on my HD-TV. 2.35-1 format wastes a lot of screen resolution with black bars at the top and bottom. I purchased a 1080p TV and I want to see 1080 lines of resolution. There is almost never anything on the extreme left and right...

I am a software designer / developer so I guess I would be an expert. If a large system works in testing and crashes when it goes live, the cause would most likely be one of the following: 1. Race condition (multiple threads / processes trying to access the same thing at the same time or...

Tried the download again at 11:50 central. Still shows 0x18A. Guess I'll try again tomorrow night.

It rebooted fine and is running 0x18A. Tried another forced download and it started downloading 0x18A again. Looks like the new version is not ready yet.

It changed to 97% complete right after I posted the previous message. Shows 100% complete now.

It has been sitting at 90% complete for several minutes. Should I reset or let it sit there longer?
