    Directv Onetime Free HD-DVR Upgrade to Valued Customers

    I noticed recently this offer was up on their website. The offer was for existing customers to receive one HD DVR free of charge. Having two HR23-700's already but being interested in the HR34 I called to see if there were any better offers on the HR34. I had called roughly mid March and the...

    Sincerely appreciate the technical info on the AM21 and how the OTA channels coincide with the Directv provided local channels with the seamless added functionality. I used the idea provided by medic-dan which for my objective and for mentioned guidelines made the most logical sense from all...

    Cable Coxial Conversion for AV to RCA, Component or HDMI?

    I am familiar with the AM21 but does not that converter essential only allow for OTA's rather than the locals from Directv and will that affect MRV? If so that is not exactly what I am attempting to accomplish. My main object is to only access OTA's when Directv has lost it's signal. I will...
