    Connecting to Internet, HR24

    Hello, I have 4 HR24's. I have whole home DVR service. None of them are connected to phone lines or ethernet. I've just installed high speed Internet and I'm contemplating hooking them up. I have an ethernet port by each one so my plan is to just plug an ethernet cable into the back of...

    Weird Intermittent HR24 issue on playback of recording

    Hi SSTV, Thanks for the info. I looked around other forums and found much more discussion of this problem. The OTA channel that has failed is a FOX channel. I wonder if DTV is even looking at this problem?

    Weird Intermittent HR24 issue on playback of recording

    How often does the failure occur? Is it on more than one DVR or one OTA channel? Can you force the failure to happen? Have you contacted support? How long did you have your equipment before noticing the problem? I have now seen the problem on two HR24/AM21 units. Same channel...

    Weird Intermittent HR24 issue on playback of recording

    Have four HR24's. All are new as of October 6th. They work great except for one anomaly. If I record a local (channel 2-1, Oakland) and then fast forward through the recording (at greater than 1X sped) the image will split. The bottom part of the frame will freeze and the top part will...

    HR24 and AM21 Installtion

    When initially installing the HR24 can the AM21 be installed on a receiver that has yet to be authorized? I've been told that the AM21 should NOT be installed until the HR24 goes through initial activation. What's the story on this?

    Was about to leave DISH for Direct. I'm not sure after doing more research.

    Let's all say it together..... User Selectable Option I don't get why this should be dictated by the central authority.

    OTA AM21 and software update questions and HR24 submodel question, BBCA HD

    Iceberg, Glad to hear that this info matched what you see in Minneapolis. I found all of the SF Bay Area OTA stations that I care about. I wish Direct would have had this information posted in an easy to find area on their site. Based on all of this recent information I think I'm going to...

    OTA AM21 and software update questions and HR24 submodel question, BBCA HD

    Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for this information. I sent an email to Direct asking about the AM21 channels. For what its worth here is the reply..... I don't think you answered my question. Let's take some examples. In the SF Bay Area there are OTA channels that are...

    Was about to leave DISH for Direct. I'm not sure after doing more research.

    I've had DISH for two years. Installation is 4 VIP722's with OTA. I'm seriously considering a switch because it looks like DISH runs about $25 a month higher than Direct and I'm tired of the 722's (which always suck power) being 24 x 7 hot plates. I've put more time into this that I...

    OTA AM21 and software update questions and HR24 submodel question, BBCA HD

    The "supervisor" did not explain how. I shared this with the guy (independent A/V guy) that I will do business with. He called Direct installer support and they said, as posted here, that if it's not in the guide the AM21 won't get.

    OTA AM21 and software update questions and HR24 submodel question, BBCA HD

    Thanks for the info. I looked at Zap2It listing for antenna channels and found that all channels that I care about were covered (I'm in zip code 95120). So, theoretically, all of these channels and subchannels should show up, right? I jumped into the Direct phone tree. After about 20...

    OTA AM21 and software update questions and HR24 submodel question, BBCA HD

    This is a little random. I'm currently on DISH (4 VIP722's with OTA). Thinking of converting to direct for various issues (cost, VIP722 heat and power consumption, etc.). Trying to clarify a couple of issues... 1) Does the AM21 show ALL local channels that it sucks out of the air...
