No one knows? Stone Cold where are you? You are the DTV expert...... :)

So, I just recently canceled DTV and was about to ship my boxes back to them when I realized my dad needed a new HD DVR box. Is it possible to transfer my box to his account in lieu of sending it back? I realize DTV probably won't do it when they can rape him for a $200 charge instead of...

How about instead of pointless updates, they make it so the DVR's run faster? It's ridiculous how slow my HR runs sometimes.

Hmm. OK, well I will have to get a new router than because I think my other one is fried. Thanks for all the help.

Actually, I tried what diogen suggested by unplugging the coax for a minute and it worked. Thank you so much man I would have never tried that as a possible fix. EDIT: Well, I spoke too soon. My pc works with the router now but my xbox still doesn't. Go figure. I will keep at it I guess.

1. Yes, I can connect either the pc or the xbox independently to the modem and they both work. Although, I do need to restart the modem each time I switch between the two. 2. I don't know I don't have two pc's. But, nothing works when I try using either router I have. 3. Yes, I held the...

So I have Road Runner and I was using a router to hook up my pc and xbox to the internet. The other day I had a big storm here and a power outage. Ever since then, I can't get my router to work anymore. The lights come on normally (on the router) but I can't access it through my pc (using the...

That's what a DVR is for :)

D* is not rapidly adding anything but channels you have to pay extra to get like HBO and on demand stuff. When they start adding actual national TV channels, then maybe you can make that claim. Edit: so I don't sound like a "fanboy", I have D*.

Pretty sure you only need one coax at each location. My HDDVR only has one coax cable to it but I have a SWM setup so im not sure if that has anything to do with it. It would probably be cheaper for you to get the multi room viewing deal rather than 3 DVR boxes. If you are pre-wiring anyway...

So, I am going to be wiring my home theater here in the next week or so and I am in the process of getting all the materials in order. I want to put in a projector and the run from the projector to the area where the equipment will be is probably around 30 feet or so. From what I have read...

What a rip off. They are going to charge us a monthly fee? Talk about a load of hogwash to charge for what is basically a software update. This is almost worse than Dish charging you $40 just so you can add an external HDD. More people should be outraged by this.

Thanks for all the help guys!

If I had a 622/722 in the Living Room and if I wanted to hook it to two TV's I know I can use the TV2 output. The problem is, the second output doesn't do HD and I have a 52" LCD in the Living Room and a 46" in the bedroom. What I want to be able to do is watch shows that are recorded on the...

So, MRV is close to being released nationally? Can anyone confirm that D* is close to ready to release this as a national update? Thanks

I don't know exactly what the problem is. Everytime I try to click on the drive from "My Computer", it kinda locks up the computer for a minute then tells me the drive isn't formatted. I think I will try the "freezer trick" first then go from there. Thanks for the help guys.

So, I have a 100gb hdd in my pc that I use for storing photos and music. Well, the other day it just stopped working and everytime I click on it, it says something about it not being formatted. I was going to try and do data recovery on it and see if that would get at least some of the files...

The game is awesome. I have it on xbox. I don't buy a whole lot of games, but I bought this one and am very satisfied. I already played through once and beat it and now I am playing on the new game+. It took about 24 or so hours to beat maybe a little more, but to reach the level cap of 50...

I dont think I have it yet, but hopefully it speeds up the response for me. It can be painfully slow at times to do anything.

I could agree with that if Dish's boxes weren't 100 times faster than D* boxes. D* boxes are way slower and it's extremely annoying since I just came over from Dish.

Yeah I switched the box over to the HD channels last night and it works. :)

I wouldn't doubt it. The HR22 is painfully slow at times. Maybe it's because I am comparing it to the ViP622 I just came from, but I want to pull my hair out at times waiting for the HR22 to change a channel or go to the guide. It can be very frustrating!

There was another thread about this already. I think it's scheduled for November? with an online schedule of around March?

Well, there is a difference by a large margin between Dish HD DVR boxes (the 622 and 722) and the D* HD DVR boxes (HR22 is the only one I have used). Maybe the newest regular HD receiver from Dish is slow, but their flagship HD DVR's (622, 722) are very fast comparitavely and I have used both...

OK you cant argue that the D* boxes are extremely slow to do anything. That is a known fact. And, I can tell you from someone who just switched from Dish's 622 that the HR22 isn't even close to as responsive. It's not just changing channels, it's doing anything: changing channels, bringing up...
