    very slow HR20-100 after most recent upgrade

    I read this in another forum. Not sure if it will help you, but it helped me when my remote seemed INCREDIBLY slow. Apparently it has something to do with clearing memory (not sure). Press MUTE + SELECT at the same time (wait for double blink) Enter 9, 6, 3 and then press CHANNEL DOWN (another...

    How to restore a cancelled R-16 recording?

    I had to do that. I individually went to each episode and tried to record them. Some got onto the TO DO LIST, and some didn't. Some have an "R" next to them in the GUIDE, but are not on the TO DO LIST. Very strange. However, this Thursday and beyond should be fine because it is beyond...

    How to restore a cancelled R-16 recording?

    As a follow-up, is there any way to "clear" the HISTORY out of the R-16? That might resolve my issue, but I don't see any way of clearing it....

    How to restore a cancelled R-16 recording?

    I cancelled several daily series that I had set the R-16 to record (long story - I was trying to fix another issue). Any way, I attempted to re-set the DVR to record them again by recording the whole series, and it only seems to be set to record those episodes AFTER the ones I had cancelled...

    DirecTV2PC - Graphics Card Driver Update??

    I have a dual-core processor with 2GB of ram. The card uses 512mb, not sure it that's an issue. My computer started freezing up when playing video that I had from my own HD camcorder! In the end, I uninstalled it and the drivers and I'm returning it to Dell. Unless there's something else...

    Signal not recognized on one receiver only

    The tech came out and replaced the LNB and checked everything over. It's been working for about 48 hours now, and he thinks it will be fine. He also updated the software on the R-16... I hope this is the end of it!

    DirecTV2PC - Graphics Card Driver Update??

    Installed the new GEforce 8400GS card and now DirecTV2PC works. However, I can't watch any HD video from my DVR. The video is very choppy and the computer freezes. I assume it's because my monitor isn't HD? The SD video works fine. Also, I notice my computer is a little slower with the new...

    R-16 temperature is 104 degrees. Does that seem normal?

    DirecTV2PC - Graphics Card Driver Update??

    Just got some information from a tech friend about BIOS. Apparently pressing the F2 key before startup will get me into BIOS where I can disable the existing graphics card before installing the new one.

    Signal not recognized on one receiver only

    I have a tech visit set up for tomorrow. I will have him examine everything. Funny thing is, it has worked fine for the last 24 hours. Isn't it always that way?? Could it be temperature related?? The weather just got warmer into the 50s these last 24 hours. I'm searching for anything at...

    Signal not recognized on one receiver only

    I have a HR22-100 HD DVR, standard DVR-16-300, and Standard D-12 500 in my 3 rooms. I've had NO issues with the HR22 or D-12. However, my DVR-16-300 has had satellite issues for 4 days straight. I just had the system installed 10 days ago. I have a slimline dish-5S with SWM. I have been...

    DirecTV2PC - Graphics Card Driver Update??

    Thanks! I'm looking forward to being able to play my DVR on the computer. Will it broadcast HD-recorded shows in HD on the computer? The new card supports it, but I'm guessing it's up to the monitor??

    DirecTV2PC - Graphics Card Driver Update??

    I purchased a GEForce 8400GS graphincs card with 512mb from Dell.com. It cost $39.99 (+tax) after mail-in rebate. My current card is integrated into the motherboard, so I'm just assuming I plug the new card in, install the drivers, and I'm good to go. Should arrive by Thursday. If...

    So I'm out of luck?:confused: I have Directv2pc installed and when I go to play any content, it says that I can't because of the graphics card. I need a new card?

    1080p trouble with the HR22

    Just got off the phone with Westinghouse. The LVM-37w3 officially does NOT support1080p/24. That is a reversal of the last time I talked with them! Thanks, rad, you figured it out. I won't be able to download any 1080p VODs. I guess I'll save an extra $1! Too bad D* doesn't update their...

    1080p trouble with the HR22

    Bummer about the 1080p but thanks for being so thorough with your explanation. As for the 30 second skip, I was JUST doing that not more than 10 minutes ago, and I wondered why I had to watch the video while jumping 30 seconds! My DISH network receiver used to jump instantly and I liked...

    1080p trouble with the HR22

    Wow. Thanks for that piece of information! You obviously know these systems. It says it supports onnly 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60. You mentioned "via the HDMI interface". Do you think it would work with another connection. I just tested a DVI port and no luck. What do you think...

    1080p trouble with the HR22

    I believe the "3:2 conversion pulldown" I mentioned is what covers that. I'm not a techie but I think it converts programs intended for 120hz (which I think 1080p24 is) and makes it work for 60hz. I called Westinghouse directly and the CS rep said that the TV should work with it...

    1080p trouble with the HR22

    Old Dish Network customer who switched over to D* last Thursday. I'm really excited to have it, and looking forward to March MegaMadness! Anyway, I have a Westinghouse LVM-37w3 1080p monitor. It works great for my needs. However, when I attempt to set my receiver to the 1080p resolution...
