If you are plugged into a power strip and have surge potection, try another strip. The surge strips will go bad after time and one of the symtoms is the DVR keeps resetting.

Get the seller to post the receiver Id and card number, then call D* and see if it is a least receiver. They will probably still come back and tell you it's leased. But it may be worth a try.

I had problems with the HR-20's freezing on re-boot and had to unplug the ethernet cable for the reboot to complete. Even though this is not your problem I thought I would mention it since somehow the ethernet port does have some type connection with the software and could cause problems other...

The 30 second skip will work with the latest D* downloaded software. The HR21's updates were rolled out last week or so. The 20's were updated a while back. You have to have the newer update before you can activate the skip function. Follow the search procedure that is listed earlier in this post.

Zedzed, Give us the part numbers of what you used with what you paid if you don't mind. Thanks for the update, I've been waiting for the prices to drop on the bigger drives before I started this project.

If you connected your DVR to the internet, D* automatically saw you were connected and they downloaded your DVR with the DOD software. See past posts on this sight. I also went on the web in my account and clicked on the approval button to let them view my viewing habits. (Not sure if that was...

I set all my HR's to RF and had no problems except for the double click that was mentioned earlier in this post. If you got a spare E* antenna, plug that one in and try it. ( I know, why would I even have a spare E* antenna in my house? Just thought I would throw it out their since I...

First check your fridge to see if you are missing any food. Then leave a note for your neighbor kid to turn off the receiver when done. Second, do you have the unit plugged into a surge protector? if so, try a different one. The surge protectors go bad causing disruptions to the equipment...

If you look at any corporate business model, the pencil pushers factor in the effects when considering a price increase. If they are looking for a 2% increase in profit, they go 3% They know that raising the price will erode the customer base and calculate what they feel will be a loss of income...

30 skip I think the minor confusion on activating 30 second skip. To switch between 30 second skip and 30 second slip is to go to menu, search for shows, keyword and then type in 30skip (no spaces) and continue. Then click all, when no results found comes up, click done. You set your receiver...

Yeah right, S--t happens and were supposed to suck it up? Maybe swat should have showed up and started shooting everyone and then ask questions. Sounds like to me the cops were on a sugar high and should have secured the scene and then asked some common questions to make a simple evaluation. If...

It's amazing the differences. My HR20-100 has been my work horse and the 700's I have seem to have the glitches and new out of the box units being defective. No I take that back my second receiver was a 100 series that was bad a couple of days out from the install, the replacement was a 700 and...

Since the H20 is bad, are they sending a replacement? Usually the replacements have a new remote in the box. Not sure what the 21 is using for a remote. Can you take the h20 remote and re-program it to run the 21? May have to switch to RF mode but it should work and hopefully to avoid the $15...

Your channel surfing too much. You need to take a break and get some sleep Replace your remote. 25mah draw will kill a car battery in 3 weeks.

Just for some clarification on this matter. Did all the local denial start this past summer or spring when Fox??? wasn't reaping windfalls from someone on the east coast watching a west coast channel? and cried because they were supposedly losing advertising revenue? or am I butting in a S>>>...

All the HR receivers have RF remote capabilities. When D* removed the external antenna, most people including my installer thought they did away with RF capability. D* put the RF antenna inside the unit. Most of the remotes have the RF capability. I do not know the early remote model numbers...

I was going to ask if you had another set of component cables to try but you said audio and some video freeze frame. So I would not expect the cables from the receiver to the TV. Go back and remove ALL your RG6 connections and visually inspect the inside of each connector to see if any of the...

It was a great day when I handed in my Comcast Box. It was the first time I smiled walking out of that Center. Thank goodness for some competition. Fios is great. How did your install go? What was installed? Just curious if they showed up in the time frame that was allotted. If the install was...

WTF....All this for Thanksgiving? Thanks for the Census update. Maybe we should hurry up and finish the wall so we can keep our English speaking channels. Maybe if we...oh never mind, I don't feel like getting banned today. I know I would be intersted in different cultural channels to see...

Bookwalk Let me modify some of my past post. I re-read your post. I missed the satellite internet part. The only way to get Video on demand is through the internet. So I retrack the "just hook up the ethernet port statement." My bad. I am also surprised that you are listed as a senior member...

Do some research here to answer your complaints. All your remotes fromD* come thru set up for IR. Go into thr remote setup and change the remote to RF and follow the code inputs. Sometimes it will take twice to do. All five of my receivers are set up for RF. The remotes do not distinguish...

Justifiable? And I thought I needed help. I can't add that high. Between D*, E* and Fios about $4500 per year. Plus all the upgrades on equipment, no wonder I always feel broke. Maybe we shouldn't ask questions like this. If my wife ever did the math, well............She does question all the...

They make great night lights for the 3am bathroom call...... For the DOD to work, you have to have the HR20's connected to the internet. Either wireless or hardwired. The H20's do not record and you have no place to download the movies to.

Do you have ethernet cables plugged in your units? I was having simular problems a couple of weeks ago with my HR20-700's not getting past the first boot screen. I have all my units connected to the ethernet via hardwired. After days of trying to get them to reboot, I finally dis-connected the...

Back to the original comment....I have 4 HR-20's running. The original HR20-100 I got has been the most stable unit except for early software issues. When I upgraded and added more units this Summer, I went thru 3 replacements on my second box. (Went from an installed HR20-100 new to a...
