I have a HR-21-700 already hooked up in my family room and I'm using the component output from the receiver. We got a new 20" HDTV for the kitchen...I can easily run a cable from the family room reciever via a crawl space and a wall plug. Can I use one of the HDMI outputs from the receiver to...

I hope they resolve it soon. Just a question...if you subscribe to Center Ice, will you be able to watch playoff games even if they're broadcast on Versus? I know that TSN or CBC also broadcast them so would we be able to watch on their feed via Center Ice?

Any body have any idea what this letter I received is? It mentions that my locals may not be view on my existing equipment if I dont call and do this "swap". I have 2 D12's, HR-21 and H-21. I have the Slim-Line 5 dish. Do I lose locals if I do nothing?

I have not part. in the CE. Should I? Would his help. What's the CE program all about?

I'll try the reboot. But it's strange to be on ALL of my receivers. Any more ideas?

Am I the only one that has noticed a major delay with the remotes? I mean the reaction time was always delayed but it seems it's gotten much worse. Is there any thing I can do? I have HD DVR-HR-21-700, HD-H-21-100 and 2 D-12's. Yes, all of them have terrible delays when punching in numbers and...

I have an HR-21-700. I also have a picture-in-picture feature in my TV. Is there any way to use the PIP with my D* system? In other words, can I watch 2 shows at once in PIP mode? I thought these had a "dual" receiver or is that just for the DVR?

I did call them today...and they were willing to give me one at $39. But they wouldnt just ship me one and have me intall it. They wanted to schedule an installer to basically plug it in and activate it. My wife and I both work and it's impossible for us to get away and wait for the...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean by "trolling"...or why you used "buy"...but yes, I do understand the whole lease thing. I was just checking to see if anyone had any thoughts were I could pick one up cheaper than the $99 or so I've seen.

Any one steer me in the right direction? Just got a new Sony HDTV for bedroom. Currently have an SD receiver and want to get a new/used H20/21. I already have an HR-21-700 in family room and love it...exept for turtle-paced remote response! I dont need DVR in bedroom but want the HD. Saw it...

I just had a HR-21 installed and I see it has HDMI port. My HDTV only has a DVI input (2003). I saw a cable that is HDMI on one end and DVI on the other. Should I use this instead of the componenet video cables - will it affect my HDTV from the HR-21? I know I still need the audio jacks but...

I had the same EXACT problem. I fixed myself - with the help of this forum! - On your satellite set-up, if you have the Slimline dish - choose the 5-LNB satellite option. It worked for me - good luck and let us know.

Well a big THANK YOU to this wonderful forum! I - yes me as in the non-paid dish installer - thanks to this board - I fixed my HD channel problem. I did the sat setup and chose the 5 LNB Slimline and it worked! The installed is supposed to come back tomorrow...I'll wait until he installs all...

Well here's the update and it's not good. Installer was here for 3 hours. Replaced HR21, AM21, switches an realigned dish with some hand held gizmo. Still no "old" HD channels. My house was built in 1998 and was pre-wired for E* - Dish 500. Now the installer thinks (from what he's being...

Well he's still at my house. I saw him select the Slimline 3 LNB option on the setup menu. He was on the phone with D* and now he's replacing a "switch"? Or now they've even talked about sending a new HR-21. Any more ideas?

RAD: The readings were in the 90's and a couple of 80's. But it didnt show anything for the 119. It didnt even show it on the list of satellites. He's on his way so I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the reply. The locals on the smaller dish were there earlier and then gone. I've never had a LOS problem with E* and the backyard is pretty clear of trees, etc. And the HR21 wasnt ever showing a 119 satellite. I hope he can "fix" it and not have to go crawling back to E*!!!!

Just switched from E* to D*. Had the retailer do the install on Saturday. He installed 2 dishes - the Slimline and another smaller one. The receivers were the HR-21-700 and 3 of the standard. He also installed an AM21 for my locals which D* does not currently carry in HD...Youngstown, OH...

So what exactly is the difference other than the ATSC tuner?

My local retailer gave me the choice of each and had both in stock. How or where do I et the AM-21? And how much is it?

OK. I'm ready to pull the trigger on D* and pull the plug on E*. I have a few questions I hope get answered. I'm looking at the HR20 and the HR21 receivers. Since my HDTV is only HD-Ready, I need the capability of the ASTC receiver and I know I can buy an AM21 to work with the HR21. I just need...

Thanks to both of you! Sounds like the HR-20 is the way to go but I think - from what I've read - the HR-20 is discontinued...so I may have to ask my local retailer if he still can get his hands on one or go with HR-21 and buy the AM-21 switch. Do I have that right? By the way...why would D*...

But will they de-code the HDTV signal? Also, I think it's a typo but you said the H20 does and then does not. And what's an AM-21? Is it something I have to buy? And what are these receivers? HD-DVR's or what? I'm not at all familiar with D*. Thanks!

I'm currently with E* and have an 811 receiver. I have a HDTV that does not have an internal HDTV tuner. My E* reciever has one built in - so my OTA is plugged in the back and PRESTO, I have free off-air HDTV. Now, I'm thinking about switching to D* - because of NFL Sunday ticket and more HD...

Great info! Thanks! Do the Directv receivers have the capability, too?
