    Is all of your wiring direct? no secondary splitters, no thru the window opening / flat cable installation? I had problems initially for the first 2 weeks until I let them drill holes in the outside walls to do direct cabling .. since then near zero issues... till this past month ... in which...

    Whole Home DVR Problems

    In my network, I assigned static dhcp to the "connecteds" ... the devices that I wanted to always have the same IP ... etc... this helped with a lot of Dish problems when I had them ... and has worked fine so far with Direct, including using the DirecTv2PC player.

    DirecTV HD DVR - scheduled recordings

    And once again.. :) SatelliteGuys and a few of you good posters come thru ... I guess the day one attempt to re-set-up my timers jitters got me (just transferred from Dish)... I had loads of Dr Who's setup to record when it should've been "First Runs" ... given a few hours.. an <POW!> timers...

    Pulled the trigger today and have a few questions

    Awesome Advice ... Thank you for suggesting "today" (my install day) they've corrected one of the major issues for me, now swapping one of the plain receivers for a DVR ... at no cost... And when the installer comes back.. they will fix the problem I just found.. they installed the power...

    New Direct TV sub, and picture quality is less than expected

    I would beg to differ .. the blanket answer is that comparing the format functions from Dish to Directv .. Directv formatting sucks. Picture quality when you monkey with the format, *I* think is better on Directv ... but I'm extremely displeased with Directv's answer to formats. On my 722k's...

    How do I connect external hard drive to HMC DVR?

    a month away from yours.. and the answers (lies) haven't changed. I called 6 times to get the system issue ironed out. 1st call, guy gave the same lie about the 1 dollar ... pressed me for ..."if you had to choose an install date, what would that be" ... when I said.. I don't want to set an...

    AMC

    Well I'm hoping its not (1) ... but (2) there's more than just a couple of posts like with the 922 ... where groups of people describe the same problem on their HR34's.... and others have no issue at all.. now tracking these issues down ... if you find its a real issue (like people did with 922...

    AMC

    Well my experience was pretty much what I expected. Bait & Switch ... sales lies.. After all is said & done I've gotten the deal I figured was real. On the phone and in 4 follow up phone calls, I was told 66.99 for the first 12 months, then 109 for the second 12, inclusive of fees .. and what...

    AMC

    My Own 2¢ Dish's dropping of AMC didn't read like carriage dispute .. but of the tie to the Voom legal case which may mean AMC is gone for monthys ... As such I'm paying the 60 dollars to end my contract early .. and switch ... to Directv or Comcast .. still on the fence .. though I have an...

    You Tube issues

    I don't have the HR34 (yet, install is the 21'st) but if this issue is anything like *other* media devices .. there is another possible cause. My Samsung Bluray player does Youtube and I came across a video that I wanted to demo to some friends.. it wouldn't play via Bluray app .. but would via...

    VOD QUESTION

    While you can't get Video On Demand, you do still have the ability to do Pay Per View ... 502 and above come from the satellite. Check your DishNetwork.com account .. see if you might have any free movie certificates just sitting there.. under the "My Account" menu you have "View Certificates"...

    One change you'd make to the D* receiver

    Actually Jimbo, you misread what Mr Zulu wrote.. Mr. Z said he misses the episode number system ... ie its not there ... and not many people can remember original air dates beyond a few days from "today". And I'd agree with that too.. not having episode numbers is a bear when it comes to...

    One change you'd make to the D* receiver

    Just to highlight the *ADD* in your post.. :) wouldn't give up having ethernet for the life of it.. wireless can not push 80meg with stability and not have contention with other wireless devices ... :)
