    Delete History?

    I posted this in the main DirecTV forum, and now realize it should probably be asked in the DVR forum instead. I apologize for the duplicate postings. I was playing around with my HR-21 DVR and noticed it has an extensive history list. Two questions: 1. Can it be deleted? 2. If not, how far...

    HR21 Recording History

    I was playing around with my HR-21 DVR and noticed it has an extensive history list. Two questions: 1. Can it be deleted? 2. If not, how far back does it go? It is based on dates or limited in that it can only hold a certain number of programs on the list? Any info would be greatly...

    Sports Packages in HD--Question

    Thanks. Well if any CI D* subscriber is feeling charitable, could you flip through your channels and tell me if any of the games listed above are, in fact, on NHL CI in HD? Thanks again.

    Sports Packages in HD--Question

    Thanks, iceturkee. So would you say you end up getting significantly more games than D*'s website lists, or just a couple here and there? I'm hoping someone can tell me that it's true across the board: If D* carries an HD RSN, the game on that HD RSN will be on NHL-CI. Anyone?

    Sports Packages in HD--Question

    As a follow-up, I did some research. After looking on hdsportsguide.com to see which NHL games are being broadcast in HD over the next couple of days, I then bumped that list up against D*'s online NHL CI schedule. There were a lot of games that are supposedly being aired in HD but not on the...

    Sports Packages in HD--Question

    I've noticed that a lot of NHL games are broadcast in HD, i.e. Colorado Avalanche games on Altitude. D* carries an Altitude HD channel, but doesn't list the games on its website as being available in HD. Is the D* website (directv.com/nhl) the best place to find out what games are on NHL-CI in...

    Hockey Night in Canada on NHL CI?

    But what about regular SD feeds from CBC? Are they a regular feature on NHL-CI? I have another CI question: I've noticed that a lot of NHL games are broadcast in HD, i.e. Colorado Avalanche games on Altitude. D* carries an Altitude HD channel, but doesn't list the games on its website as...

    Hockey Night in Canada on NHL CI?

    I know the NHL CI package has, in the past, shown feeds from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada for weekend or playoff games. Does it regularly do so? Does D* pick up the CBC HD feed for the games? If anyone could provide some info about HNIC on Center Ice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Install Scheduled for Today: Last-Minute Questions

    Install took a while, but I'm very satisfied so far. Picture looks great in HD, and SD is equal to or better than cable quality. One question: How do I switch between the two active tuners on my HR-21 receivers?

    Install Scheduled for Today: Last-Minute Questions

    Since my HD locals are available on D* and my TVs have built in HD tuners, I'm getting the HR-21 DVRs. It is my understanding that these do NOT have the video-on-demand or remote-scheduling functions that are available on the HR-20. 3 questions: 1. Is that true? 2. If so, is there any...

    Thank you all for your help. It's actually going to happen tomorrow (Weds.) and hopefully I'll be up and running.

    Configuration Question: Split-Screen

    Hi. I'm getting DirecTV installed next week, and would like to know if it's possible to do a split-screen with DirecTV. My TV is a 60" Panasonic. With cable, I use a splitter and can watch multiple inputs at once, half and half. Is this possible with DirecTV, since my HD DVR will be dual...

    Potential New Customer: Billing/Fee Question

    Problem is that E* will only give me one free HD DVR. But if I can get D* to match, it would be better than the $100 off deal they're offering me now. I asked about the "leased" nature of the boxes, and about any opportunity to cancel service if I don't like it after trying it out for a few...

    Potential New Customer: What will my bill REALLY be?

    The problem with a second HD DVR is that they want something like $400 for it, and that seems like a steep start-up cost. Is your calculation assuming a connection to a phone line, because I don't have phone jacks near any TV. Please let me know. I appreciate your help!

    About to Sign Up with DirecTV: A FEW QUESTIONS

    Does DirecTV require a connection to a phone line? That's one issue I have when I look at signing up for Dish. They charge me an extra $5/month for receivers not connected to a phone line. Is this the same with DirecTV?
