Probably not, I had a similar situation last Fall. I ordered the install via Best Buy and purchased another HR20 from them at the same time. The sales guy asked the D* CSR he set the install up with if they would install the additional unit and was told yes. D* noted it on the account and I took...

127 seemed to be constant on this one and since this unit is in the family room and used all day, by early evening it was shutting down the last few days. Yesterday afternoon I switched the HR20 to another shelf where the PS3 was as that shelf allowed for 9 inches of clearance above it. Since...

Thanks for the info. The unit in question is running at 127, while the other two are running at 111 and 120. I may look for one of those laptop fans for now, as we've got a lot of recorded shows we'd loose if I had to replace it under the PP.

One of my HR20-700 DVRs that I've had for 10 months now started overheating a few days ago. The unit has been in my entertainment shelf for the entire time and has never done this before now. I can hear the fan working inside (not sure if there is one or two on the HR20 - but I hear something)...

I don't have any experience with CableVision, but I do with VZ FiOS and Time Warner Cable - so here is my two cents... IMO, D* is well worth it. Like anybody else, I wish it was less expensive, but I have no problem paying what I do for what I get. I had D* for almost 9 years and was totally...

In late 2006 I left D* after 8 years for VZ FiOS. 9 months later we moved about 20 miles away to a community that wasn't serviced by VZ. When I called D* and asked them to reactivate my account, they couldn't find it, so I ended up going to Best Buy and getting the NFL Sunday Ticket promotion...

I agree, but overall, now that it is simulcast, real HD is the minority. If my wife thinks the PQ is bad, they REALLY have issues. I vote for them to put things back the way they were...

We've got 2 HR20s and use a Harmony 880 on both. They work great. You can pick them up cheap now on Amazon.

While the D* guide may have a few issues, it is a blessing compared to VZ FiOS. I left D* SD service for FiOS in Q4 2006 because of the HD offering they had, and just came back to D* last fall after we moved. There was not a day that went by while we had FiOS that my wife and I did not curse the...

It happened one more time with the unit in the bedroom since my original post above and I waited 10 minutes with no luck. This time it was when I was turning the system off along with the TV. Nothing worked, no remote buttons, guide, info, nothing. The good news I guess is the main unit in the...

Nothing out of the ordinary. Watching any given station and when you go to try and use the guide or change the channel, it freezes up. It has also happened while watching recorded programs as well. I was quite surprised myself as I know this release was tested quite thoroughly. We've gone one...

Has anyone experienced your HR20-700 locking up since the new software was installed? I've had to reboot both of my HR20s several times since the software came down on Thursday. Prior to that, I think I only rebooted once since signing up with D* last September...

Dallas / Ft. Worth got it back in December. Not sure what the roll out plan for other areas is however...

This may be old news, but I just wanted to let folks know that the new black HR21 DVRs are available at Costco (at least in Plano, Texas). The pricing sign makes it very clear that the price is a lease fee and D* owns the unit at all times. They had a whole pallet of them and they were going for...

I got lucky I guess - maybe, maybe not... a few years ago I conned my wife into the 5.1 AV receiver first. She went with it and then loved the sound on movies. Next I tried the HD TV thing last fall and her only words were "oh my god - that is an awesome picture". She approved another HD set for...

I had Verizon FiOS for a year before coming back to D* when they brought the new HD online and I can tell you that the new mpeg4 HD stuff rivals FiOS HD, which is thought to be by far the best.

Yup, and according to internal documents leaked on the internet over the weekend, the advertising cost will be offset by carving off a few HD dedicated channels and charging $4.99 a month for them. Okay, that was just a joke, so don't ask me to reveal my sources... :D

Agreed, but... We've paid a lot for our 16X9 HD sets and would like to see them fully utilized! Hopefully things will move along for these new HD channels and they will convert to real widescreen, not stretch-o-vision.

Thanks - I think where our HOA gets away with this is how this is worded below. I'm going to request an exception and see what happens. I'll let you know how it turns out. Q: What restrictions prevent a viewer from receiving an acceptable quality signal? Can a homeowners association or other...

Where in Allen are you? I'm in Twin Creeks and was told by our Realtor when we moved in and again by a neighbor that I'd have to get a waiver and that it was almost impossible to do (only satellite TV antenna's were allowed). I'm fairly reasonable and don't like to stir up sh&t, but it sounds...

Here in North Texas, we don't have CW in HD on D* yet, but I have to think it is very near to coming online. The CW in SD is on channel DL33 here and there is a second channel 33 right below it that shows "CW33 - no information available" in the guide. It has been there since we subscribed mid...

Excellent point!

I would think SG:A would be. They have it over on Universal HD in HD, so why not on SciFi HD? I guess we'll see in about 15 hours or so... And yes, Species, The Awakening was an awesome sight in HD last night. Hopefully more HD content for SciFi HD soon!

I was in Best Buy in North Dallas today and they had a bunch of them in stock for $99

I had the missing category issue on an HR20-700. Can you tell me how to only show the HR channels when there is an HD and an SD? I had heard that and searched all the menus, but could not find it. Any help would be appreciated.
