    Anyone Else Seem to Notice

    Yep, probably just piling on at this point, but I'm having the same problem with my HR24. Additionally, my wife and I have both noticed a little - I dunno, I guess you'd call it "jerkiness" on some of the channels. Just tiny jitters in the programs the last few weeks. I don't know if these...

    Whole Home DVR Issues, Part Two

    Interestingly enough, I've had pleasant interactions when I've had to call DirecTV in the short tenure I've had them (my wife though, did not - when she was setting up the service). Getting my new HD receiver activated was a pretty painless process, but instead of staying on the line with the...

    Whole Home DVR Issues, Part Two

    They did indeed, and removing it fixed my issue. Thanks so much!

    Whole Home DVR Issues, Part Two

    Thanks Bob, here's what I show: HR24: IP Address: 169.254.8.0 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 H24: IP Address: 169.254.5.229 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 H23: IP Address: 169.254.8.51 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 There's really nothing listed in that section outside of those particular...

    Whole Home DVR Issues, Part Two

    Howdy, I posted this at the DirecTV help forums, but haven't received an answer, so thought I'd try my luck here and see if anyone had ideas on which way to go next (or if I'm missing something obvious): Here's the situation - I recently signed up for DirecTV with the Whole-Home DVR service...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    See, that's the thing I though was odd - my online account shows Whole-Home DVR Service as "currently activated". But in the Whole Home menu on the receiver it shows "no networked DVRs found". I haven't checked it in the last few days...we are still waiting for Comcast to wire our house...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    I thought it would be a no-brainer to get a new modem...but when I talked to their tech support to originally work the issue and we finally got it diagnosed down to the hardware - well, they connected me over to some sales department who quoted me the rate for a new modem. When I expressed...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    Absolutely. I decided to shop my service around, saved quite a bit monthly on my bill and am getting brand new equipment. Sad to say, we gave AT&T a chance to match the deal we were getting, and were willing to deal with a bit higher monthly rate if they provided updated hardware - but they...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    Actually, we replaced all of the filters throughout the house to start, but it didn't fix the problem - AT&T finally diagnosed it as a failing modem (we'd had the thing for about 5 years). But they weren't willing to comp us a new one, and we were out of contract, so we shopped out our...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    Hi all, having a little issue with a new install of the Whole Home DVR system with Direct. We currently have two rooms hooked into the whole home setup, the front room (HR24 DVR) and our daughter's room (HD Receiver, not sure of the model). In my daughter's bedroom, we are getting the...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    To add I may be comparing apples and oranges on the package. With Dish we had the "America's Top 200" plan, and I was comparing that plan to the "Choice Xtra" plan with Direct.

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    My wife and I are switching over from Dish Network to DirecTV as we speak. I did an analysis of the HD offerings between Dish and Direct and Direct's was clearly superior (although obviously that's dependent on our taste in programming). Bummer though, we love AMC, and we are losing the...

    HD Receiver on Std Def TV

    One additional question (thinking of switching over to DirecTV as well) - if I get the Whole Home DVR service, will an SD receiver link in without problems? I've got one HD and two SD televisions - with DirecTV's current special, it looks like I can get the HD DVR and one HD receiver with...
