JD- I'd personally run cat5e cable to the HD DVR's location Can you explain further for a non-techy

What might i ask is Hardwired?

I have my house on a Netgear Router for our laptops and want to hook-up two HDDVR's so I can use On-Demand. The signal in the upstairs bedroom is pretty weak. Should I pass on the wireless box and install the plug in the wall units instead? My concern is that if I use the plug in units, is my 16...

That could be it. I wonder how you figure out which one's are??

Not sure what you mean. I've never had Internet hooked up downstairs and have had no problem getting PPV. I'm wondering if Direct is now requiring Internet hook-up to get PPV's and On-Demand? Thats what Customer Service impyed

I know I have to be connected to the internet to have On-Demand but must I be hooked up to internet just to purchase a movie. We watched a movie on her Xmas HDDVR back in December without any problem but yesterday she tried to watch "Yes Man" and it wouldn't play. Called Custoner Service and...

One last question. I think I'm looking at one of the two cables coming into the room as a left over from Comcast. Would the basic Direct DVR allow you to record one channel and watch another on just one cable cord from the satelitte?? Is it HD that requires two cables for this feature to work???

I tried all the switching and rebooting to no avail. Sounds like if I want to Record one and watch another I'll have to call a Direct guy and get him out here. Thanks so much for your help

You are so right. Tuner #2 has no signal and says "Not Acquired" but it sure looks like I have an HD quality picture. Now what?

The set-up from the previous DVR looks like one cable what the Direct guy installed is marked DS6.07-02 but the other cable looks like a basic whit cable cord. Could that be the problem. Do I need to change out the basic cord that's being used on one of the hook-ups

I replaced a old Direct DVR with a new Direct HD DVR using a HDMI cable. I get HD fine on my new LCD TV but the problem is that I can't record one channel and watch another like I can on my downstairs Plasma set-up. It sure looks like I hooked everything up right. Any ideas????????????????

Thats why I love these sites. You saved me. I found it. Thank You! The only thing missing is that I drink (a lot) and used to sell Makers but I won"t hold that against you. Merry Christmas!!!

I Bought my wife a new HD-DVR for her new LCD TV to replace her basic Direct box and TV. I bought both at Bestbuy. I didn't get a new card for my HD-DVR. Can Bestbuy give me a HD Card for my new receiver or do I have to contact DirectTv???

I'm sorry to say I don't no this answer so be gentle. I had Comcast before last November when I saw the light and switched to Direct. (Best thing I ever did) My question revolves around the National mandate that Feb '09 you must be digital. My TV's are not ancient. A couple maybe 12 years old. I...

I've recently had an issue twice of no volume when I turn on my HDDVR. My entire system is only 5 months old. It did come on when I reset the DVR. Is there any advise out there???

I joined DIRECT TV back in Dec '08 and I took one of my 4 receivers out of an office I don't use often and put the receiver in my RV. It worked great the first weekend camping.I left the receiver in my RV for a couple months without using and when I went to use it this weekend, I got the notice...

I second the motion that this is a great tip regarding purchasing on "The Guide". Thanks

Once you purchase that movie on "THe Guide" do you have 24 hours to watch it?

I'm a newbie to DIRECT and love it. However, I need some advise. I purchased a movie on the website for a couple days in advance. They told me to check with channel 181 to watch it on that day. I assumed it played all day on that channel. I assumed wrong. I happened to get lucky and turn on that...

OK JD- Please just add a little more info for this rookie. I have a portable Winguard dish that has onre LNB. I did see that it might have another cable spot available. Are you saying once I get a signal, remove the LNB and hook a second line to that input???

I need some advise. Is there anyway I can run two receivers off of my portable Wineguard dish? I have an RV with two TV's and I have two receiver's but I don't think you can put something like a splitter on any lines. Is there any thing I can do or buy??

We're ready to call the 800# and make the jump from Comcast to DIRECT and I'm wondering what technique has had the best results in getting the best deal. Do you advise more than one phone call? Some have scored a free HD DVR, and some have got no deal here except the rebate. Can you negogiate...

I have to drill a hole into a upstairs bedroom so I can have that a dedicated line when I sign up for DIRECT. Anybody have guess on how long of a drill bit I need to go thru a ceiling and into a upstairs room's floor???

What in the heck is a diplexer and where would I learn more?

I have one major issue before I switch from Cable to Direct. I have an office upstairs that for some reason the cable guys couldn't get me a cable line to, so I have to run a cable splitter from a bedroom TV accross the hallway and to that TV. Can I still have a DIRECT DVR in the office even...
