    What's the Best DirecTv Receiver with out DVR?

    Have you ever seen how SD looks on an HDTV before, much less on a projector? Why don't you want a DVR? I have NEVER met someone who regretted getting a DVR. Sign up for the 2 year commitment and get a cheap/free HD DVR. If you end up backing out of it, then deal with that then. OTherwise don't...

    Rd zone shows the game in HD, but no dedicated channel

    This week the Falcons vs. Panthers is the only one not in HD and they are upconverting it on the Red Zone HD channel. I think this confirms that it is a CBS vs Fox issue as to whether it is upconverted on the Red Zone HD channel. Fox games get upconverted but CBS games do not. Jim

    Rd zone shows the game in HD, but no dedicated channel

    This week the Bengals vs. Bills is the only one not in HD and they are not upconverting it on the Red Zone HD channel. This may be a CBS vs. Fox issue as to whether it is upconverted on the Red Zone HD channel. Jim

    Rd zone shows the game in HD, but no dedicated channel

    Are you talking about the TN game from this past week? It was in HD on channel 719 for me. DIRECTV - NFL SUNDAY TICKET Schedule Jim

    Rd zone shows the game in HD, but no dedicated channel

    I always feel bad for the Browns fans because someone clearly has it out for them. They always get hosed on the HD. But then again, as a Bengals fan, I won't be too upset. :) Jim

    Rd zone shows the game in HD, but no dedicated channel

    I understand what you are saying, but some games are not recorded in HD each week. This will change next year. The confusion comes in when you see the standard def games on the HD red zone channel. For example yesterday the ATL vs. NO game was not in HD, but took up the whole screen when...

    No Audio On Super Fan Channel 719

    I had the same issue. Not sure what the problem was. Jim

    The return of TiVo to DIRECTV

    Were you using the latest firmware with the HR10-250? I agree that the slowness before the 6.3 firmware upgrade was terrible, but I have been very pleased with it since then. Jim

    Need advice on HD DVR.... upgrading to HD from non HD DVR

    Glad you are happy with it, but maybe you moved to soon :) http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-dvr-forum/105963-return-tivo-directv.html

    The return of TiVo to DIRECTV

    Yes, I realize that this is certainly just rumor material at the moment. That said, I actually think that this will happen. D*'s recent announcements regarding ongoing support for the TiVo platform and this blog entry are certainly encouraging. Wild rumor: DirecTV reps claiming TiVo coming to...

    Totally confused

    I think it will be a lot longer than "several months" when they shut down the 110/119 satellites. I would guess it will be at least a year. That said, those of us with HR10-250 will be missing out on the majority of HD content very soon. Jim

    Thanks for the report. I imagine I will be joining you soon. Jim

    Need advice on HD DVR.... upgrading to HD from non HD DVR

    You are pretty much stuck with HR20. There are Tivo-based HR10-250's, but you won't be able to receive the majority of the D*'s HDTV channels (once the major rollout begins soon) because it doesn't decode mpeg4 channels. There is also good reason to believe that there will be a HR21 model...

    Sunday Ticket and the HR10-250

    Thanks. Maybe a little off topic... but is there anyway they COULD upgrade the HR10-250 (with software or a reasonably simple piece of hardware) to get the mpeg4 channels? I think it is unlikely, but support for their Tivo products certainly isn't dead: DIRECTV to Introduce Additional TiVo...

    Sunday Ticket and the HR10-250

    Thanks for all the informative replies. I feel better about it now. I wouldn't be opposed to switching to the HR20 (or maybe the HR21 if it is somehow better when it comes out), but am not sure if I can receive the new channels at my location. I live in a high rise apartment building with its...

    Sunday Ticket and the HR10-250

    I haven't read that anywhere. I guess I just have been hearing a lot lately about the new mpeg4 channels that will be available this 'fall' and paranoia set in. I hope I am off base here, but I think it is a legitimate concern because: I believe that more (but not all) of the games will be in...

    Sunday Ticket and the HR10-250

    Hi all Does anyone know whether or not the HD Sunday Ticket games this season will be viewable on my HR10-250 Tivo? Or will I have to "upgrade" to the HR20 because these games will now be transmitted using the mpeg 4 codec? I am currently signed up for the Sunday Ticket and Superfan package...

    HR20 - HDMI or Componet?

    I agree. There is very little that is more ridiculous than $100+ for a for an 18 inch HDMI cable. From a curiosity standpoint, it is probably worth getting a monoprice HDMI cable to determine whether or not you can tell the difference on your set. Jim

    Hr10-250 and OTA ?

    Another question... Long story short, I only have one functional satellite input into my HR10-250. I also have an OTA antenna into the HR10-250. Should I be able to record an OTA and satellite program at the same time? Thanks James

    What Is the Best Way to Get HR20-700?

    Go to Best Buy. I was there yesterday in Skokie, IL and it was selling for $399. The HR10-250 was reduced to $99. I don't know if they are widely available but I certainly saw one yesterday. Jim

    HR10-250 v6.3 Announcement / Release (It's out now!!)

    I haven't heard anything yet. Despite the website posting, I doubt it will happen at this point. I can't imagine they have a lot of people working on this because the HR10-250 is essentially a discontinued product and they probably need all the bodies they can get to work on the constantly...

    As I mentioned here, I got it for just the S&H with no ST req. However, I was going through my mail and received a piece from D* that said "enhance your television experience with a complimentary D* receiver" It goes on to say that if you get ST I could get a basic receiver, the R20 or...
