Voom failed because of a money issue, nothing to do with the availability of HDTVs or their price.

This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. There is about 2 million pixels in a 1080p TV. So on a 20" Screen, it looks great, on a 32" screen, it looks nice, but once you go over a certain size, say 40", you can start noticing the pixels more. Because you only...

That is not true. Yes, DISH Network used to charge $6.00 per DVR receiver but it is now an account level fee. $6.00 a month covers all DVR's active on that account. We did do away with the TV2 connection fee. -Dirt.

It's inside only. Put it close to the receiver.

Well. This cost was with UPS and FedEx. I tried the post office, and they were only $25. Case in point, UPS is greedy.

I know shipping rates have gone up, but this is utter BS. I have a directv slimline dish without the lnbf. I put it in a box as small as physically possible. The length and width is just .5" bigger than the reflector. The height is like 10". Weight is 25 pounds. The cheapest shipping method I...

Yes it was owned. I've been reading that the DVR uses some kind of "power on standby" and the drive won't spin in a PC.

Okay so my neighbor switched to cable and gave me his old HR-22. Inside I found a hard drive, with sata power and data cables. I plugged it into my PC, but it won't spin. Is there some kind of proprietary system that won't allow you to use D* HDs in a PC?

Update: I called Directv back, and asked to speak to a supervisor. I informed the supervisor that I called Directv a while back to have my services cut off. I told him that I was unable to make payment then, and now my account has a balance of over $400. All I was asking the supervisor to do...

Update: I spoke with directv this morning. They informed me I needed to pay the past due of $147.97 before they could "make any changes to my account". They informed me that their computer system will not allow them to make any changes. I know for fact this is BS. They act like their computer...

Satellite signals are sent via microwave transmission from space. Rain breaks up these signals and can inhibit reception during a heavy downpour. If your still using the "pizza dish" which is Directv's 18" round dish, I suggest calling Directv and having them install a "slimline" dish, the...

I've been in love with Directv, until this... I was recently laid off, and my Directv bill was around $100. I should of paid it, but I had other bills with higher priority. Okay, so call into directv, and asked to stop being billed, and have service suspended. Well they can't suspend, unless...

I have a contract with sprint. They can stop billing me, but it just extends my contract.

I lost my job about a month ago. Now I can't pay my D* bill. Well to make matters worse, D* will only quit billing if I have a $0 balance. This is absurd. I owe them money, told them I lost my job, but they keep billing me! Why can't they just stop billing me?

The "installer" sounds like a hack job. The Phase III dish has been phased out (so to speak) for many years, and the two additional satellites it can receive are only for misc programming, and locals in certain markets. Most installers only use the slimline dish, as the chance of someone getting...

Why would you install a receiver if you have nothing to watch it on???

Here is a demo I made of the app. As you can see their is a bug with the playlist, but it does seem to be pretty fast. Only $1.99 for the app.

Ya. The H25 has an "A/V out" connection. The serial connection you speak of is a mini din 10 connection. I can't find any online. Might call directv and ask for a spare. Always good to have a spare.

True, and that switch is like $150.

Yup.

Don't they make a multiswitch so you can use a SWiM receiver on a non-swim dish like this one?

That's what I'm hoping for. The HR34 looks nice with it's 5 tuners, but I am not gonna shell out $400 for it. If they get it down to $250, sure.

Looks like that sticky has lost it's stickiness, I don't see it.

1. The ability to schedule recordings for a second, third, etc DVR from a primary DVR. I currently have 2 HD DVRs stacked on one top of each other. Being able to schedule recordings for all HD DVRs would be a plus, and make things easier. 2. Would be nice to see the recording capacity for the...

Things I need to know. 1. Do ALL receivers experience this problem? 2. Does this problem only happen on that one specific channel? If it's just one receiver, and only that channel, that sure is strange. If one receiver is doing it, but ONLY when recording, then the receiver most likely needs...
