    Export a DVR'd program ?

    Is there anyway to export a program or movie that you have recorded? I have a HR-24 and thought it would be nice to copy a program that my friend doesn't get, so we could watch it at his house. Or is it encoded or something? I was thinking a thumb drive or something?

    Should I Be Scared?

    USPS is notoriously bad about their tracking system. I have sent a number of things with tracking numbers that never showed up. I have also sent things with USPS Delivery Confirmation which they said got there and the recipient said it didn't. The only way to be sure with USPS is to buy...

    Sound Dropouts?

    I seem to get a fair amount of little audio dropouts. They only last a fraction of a second. If they made noise it would be a click, so that's how short it is. I used optical Dolby output but switched it to regular cable see if that helped and it didn't Anybody else get them?

    How does the DVR know what is first run?

    That would be helpful, except in my situation where the Sat and Sun shows of Beck are repeats of the one shown of Fri at 2pm. As it is now I wind up with 4 recordings of the 2pm Fri show unless I delete the repeats manually I just wrote to DTV and asked them to look into the problem.

    How does the DVR know what is first run?

    I checked the schedule of things to record and sure enough it has all the Becks set for recording for quite a few days out. I just deleted the ones at 11 and on the weekends

    There is a little suction cup mic available that you can plug into anything with a 1/8" jack. Moisten the suction cup and stick it on the hand set on the back side of the ear piece. Plug it into a little cassette recorder or any other type of recording device Amazon.com: Suction Pickup...

    How does the DVR know what is first run?

    Yes As a matter of fact the Friday 2pm show was recorded again at 11 and again the next day and again the next day. All the same "episodes" Guess I will just use the "Delete" button.

    How does the DVR know what is first run?

    I guess mine never got taught what first run is. I set it to record only first run Glenn Becks and it records the one at 2pm and again at 11. Is there a code or something it is not reading? It's easy enough to delete the second one, just wondering

    You would think they would try to up-rez it before transmission, but I guess it would look pretty awful. Thanks for the info, all

    Display question

    16x9 ED TV Running at 480P out of an HR24 using RGB cables. I'll use this as an example all though it happens on other channels. I flipped over to SyFy and there's Stargate SG1 but it's not filling up the screen. It's in 16x9 ratio, but it's got a black frame all around it. I have seen...

    Frustration of phone people

    Ok bashers here's what I finally did. I looked on the DirecTV site and looked under "Find a Retailer" at the bottom of the page. (Gee maybe DirecTV could have suggested that in the first place) Drove down to Silverdale, WA (20 miles) and walked in the front door and there was an actual person...

    Frustration of phone people

    There is nothing to cancel, I have not signed up. However if I get this attitude I will. Another curious attitude. Why? Do you think also the "Tough sh*t" attitude is appropriate? Do you also work for DirecTv?

    Frustration of phone people

    Yes it was a small business. And I have often marveled at people in business that I have helped to make big businesses that have an attitude that now that they are a "big business" they have to have a different attitude. It would have been best if he would have just given me the name of the...
