    H25 Component & Composite Out Simultaneously

    Well, technically it is hooked up to an HDTV (via component) but its also hooked up to the composite outputs. One thing I've noticed is that if you power on the HDTV first, the power on the H25, then power on the other TV, it doesn't seem to mind. But, it's still a little bit of a pain in the...

    H25 Component & Composite Out Simultaneously

    Hmm, I don't like to hear that. So, I suppose my option is down to getting a component splitter, and then component->composite converter to avoid the message? Seems like a rats nest of wires, but if there's not a way around it, so be it. Thanks for the response.

    H25 Component & Composite Out Simultaneously

    I've searched both here and across the web, but haven't found an answer. I haven't called tech support yet, but I figured I might have better luck here anyway. I have an H25 in my office with the component out cable hooked up to an older tube tv lacking HDMI. I also have a TV in the garage that...

    VIP 922 coming my way...

    I understand that there's a lot of facts being considered here, but that's like saying, "Well, I trained two days a week more than him, and ran my 40's .2 seconds faster than him, so the facts point to me being the victor in this game!" The real facts are that as soon as there's something...

    VIP 922 coming my way...

    I've read this thread since it started, and have noted two distinct attitudes of posting. There's the type of Smith, P. and Scott G. that respectfully make their opinion known. I think anyone will agree that this is the most constructive and informative posting for such a forum. And then...

    HR20-100S as a Standalone DVR

    I sent an e-mail describing my problem, much as I did earlier for my first post, and received a response from them. The message had a phone number and PIN for a direct connection, and after I dialed and entered my PIN, I was connected quickly. The man I spoke with was WAY more helpful, and...

    HR20-100S as a Standalone DVR

    I appreciate the response. I only spoke with one guy, so I apparently didn't get further the one CSR. I'll give them a call again today, and also send them an e-mail here soon. Thanks. -Adrian

    HR20-100S as a Standalone DVR

    Well, I just got off the phone with a rather curt individual, and he, in a nutshell, said what I want is impossible. He gave me some BS answers which I quickly and accurately countered, only to be shut down. I asked him if I could activate DVR service, and he said with a suspended account, no...

    HR20-100S as a Standalone DVR

    Well, I figured there wouldn't be an easy work around with this. I'll get a hold of them tomorrow over my lunch hour, and we'll see where I can get. If they aren't cooperative, I may have to see about building that MediaCenter PC I've been thinking about. Thanks for the response and the welcome.

    HR20-100S as a Standalone DVR

    I've done my best to try to keep on top of the nomenclature and changing tech of the DirecTV market, and have been very happy so far. During the winter months, both my wife and my work schedules become busy enough that we decided to save a few bucks and suspend service for a while. I thought...

    Using Video Sender Pre-Tuner

    Well, I think I can be patient; it's been an eyesore in the living room, and it makes me want to go out to the garage and work on stuff out there instead! Anyway, I think I'll watch the boards here to see when the single wire option is available. I've taken a look around, and discovered that I...

    Using Video Sender Pre-Tuner

    Well, I kinda figured that would be the case. So, in your opinion would it be better to wait it out for a bit, or would the single wire solution and multiswitch upgrade be more cost prohibitive than it is worth to just go ahead and and tear into the wall and drill the hole? Thanks for the answer...

    Using Video Sender Pre-Tuner

    Hey guys. I've searched high and low and short of calling someone at DirecTV to ask this question, I figured people here might be able to help me out. I recently purchased a new townhome that features two coax cables run to the living room. Unfortunately, they do not run to the same place...
