Ditto!!!!

Not sure what TV you have but my Panny won't pass anything HDMI to it's optical out except for 2 channel PCM. Originally I thought there was a problem, then realized it's designed that way. That's one reason why I let the receiver handle all the audio via optical from all my devices.

I can't speak about Cablevision as they are not in my area. But, both local cable companies charge extra for both the equipment and HD programming. Neither of which can compare to D* in quality, quantity or price.

With the governor we have, nothing would surprise me!

I have lived about 50 miles inland from Savannah all my life. Wait until you experience Sand Gnats(not talking about the minor league baseball team either) for the first time! You will be thankful for the screnn porch. That is if you can stand to sit outside in 90+ temps with 90+ humidity...

I haven't got my bill for the month yet but I will look when it comes. My billing still comes through the local electrical coop, not sure if that will make a difference.

I had Alltel for years and loved it, then last year the company I work for made all of us change to Verizon. So far I have had no problems with coverage and I travel all over the country. One thing I do not like though, is Verizon locks their phones down so many of the features can't be used...

You will have to call D* to activate. Access cards are married to their individual receiver ID's.

AMEN! I remember those days, guess that shows our subscriber age! My bill is not quite what yours is but close. I did get a free replacement basic receiver once.

It's really a good deal for new customers to get free or deeply discounted hardware. However, it would also be nice if some of us 10 year + dedicated subscribers could get a break. Oops, guess I did! Got the AM21 for free.

Just looked at D* website as I am about to buy another HR21, still showing $199 for me.

Another avenue for a 2" mount is to seek out a local industrial machine shop. Ask them if they have 2" Outside Diameter Steel Tubing. That's where mine came from, 2" OD tubing with 1/4" wall thickness. I think mine was $30 for 10'.

I agree, after working with networks from small (2 or 3 clients) to large (thousands of clients); DHCP has it's place. But, to me a small home network is better suited for static. My network has approximately 30 devices all static addressed and I maintain a spreadsheet of the device, it's MAC...

Be careful with Nero MediaHome. There have been many people, including myself, who have tried this and it totally locked the system down requiring a RBR to recover, but only after Nero has been shutdown.

Run the cable. It's better to run it now even if you don't use it.

Your laptop and something else on the network have the same IP address. This must not be! The same IP address can not be active on the same network but once. If your setup is using static addressing, change the last number of one of the offending addresses. If you're using dynamic addressing...

Be glad you weren't in the Savannah, Ga area. First off we don't have HD locals available on D* and local FOX affiliate kept cutting out on not only the D* SD feed but on both SD and HD OTA feeds. It was a local FOX issue, their feed has been screwy for almost a month. Done the same damn thing...

I tried one but all my phones and wireless network are also 2.4ghz, it didn't behave well with them so I went with the 5.8 video transmitter. It works ok, but they are a bit pricey.

I got to get in on this! 3 Windows 2003 servers, 1 for work, 1 fileserver, 1 music and photos. All with 1tb SCSI RAID 5 arrays 3 1tb NAS storage devices for backup 1 Dell XPS Desktop w/ dual 21" digital monitors 1 Dell Latitude Laptop 1 Dell Inspiron Laptop 3 Industrial touchscreens running...

I've been using the 5.8 ghz transmitter for about 2 years. First with my DirecTivo and now with my HR21. It feeds a SD TV in my bedroom about 30 ft. away from my main AV rack in the living room through 2 walls. It works ok but just ok, not great or spectacular, just ok. About once a week I...

First off, let me thank everyone for the information and tips given in this forum. This is truly a wealth of information not available anywhere else. Posted this first over at DBSTalk with little results so I thought I would post here to see if anyone had a clue to this minor issue as it has...

Finally completed my HD install yesterday of H21-700 with Slimline dish and connection to my new Panasonic DLP. WOW what a difference from my old D* DVR and Phillips SD TV! Only one thing left, make the network connections. That will come today if I have time. The install went well with no...

Thanks for all the info. The electrical coop stuff is not gone in my area of the country. If I want to change programming or ask about anything I have to call the Dtv section of the coop. I can't even pay my bill online. I did call Dtv one time about a year ago wanting to activate a new...

Thanks guys, however you have brought up another question. Should I try and find a HR20 instead of the HR21? In the rural area of GA where I live, we are not directly serviced by D* but by a local electrical coop. In fact I can't deal directly with Directv, EMC has a 50 year agreement to supply...

First post here, did a search but could not find what I was looking for. Long time DirecTV subscriber about to take the plunge into HD with a HR21 receiver. The short version of my question is what are the 2 Ethernet ports for? I know DOD but what else? Can I use the HR21 in place of my...
