    Viiv and Vista

    Progress update - Xbox can access the computer and it is awesome. Computer cannot see HR-20, and the extender setup in Windows Media Center cannot pull up the xbox - I have the code from the xbox, but the error I get is on the extender setup. I've disconnected the Watchguard box so no firewall...

    Viiv and Vista

    I do have sharing setup on my Vista config - but did not look at the Network to find it. How do you create the connection on the 360? I just set that up as well - totally awesome to have your 360 share media and pictures from your PC. I'm loving it! There really is something to this family...

    Viiv and Vista

    I've searched high and low and cannot find any help. Hopefully the collective brain power of this group can help a brother out! I have the HR-20 hooked up to network, the network tests great and all is well. I can connect to the Internet. I saw on the DirecTV forums that one can download...

    HR20 Software Release: 0xFA

    I was finally able to get my wirless bridge set up last night and noticed that the DirecTV HR20 shows up on the connected device list to the mail router. But, no ping or telnet functionality. I've searched and searched and can't find anything on it's function, so what's it doing now and what...

    HR-20 + Harmony

    Perhaps y'all could assist a NuB HR-20 user. I keep getting "None of your devices can change channels" when setting up the Watch Tivo Activity. Logitech forums show similar frustrations. I checked the mapping and all the commands are learned in the database, but it doesn't want to work for...

    Jammy - I am in DFW as well, what is the wait for your install of the new HR20?

    D*'s Charges us now...then U wait 1 month for equip and Service?

    I got a similar frustration today. $99 plus $19 for a total charge of $128 and change. Then the install cannot occur until October 27 - that's two weeks and seems absolutely unnecessary for a 5 minute appointment, including the paper work. I have heard of people getting appointments the next...

    Why do my SD channels look bad after HD upgrade?

    Just got installed yesterday, SD channels on the HR10-250 do look like crap, I would agree. Watching on 61" JVC HD-ILA. HD looks fantastic, but the SD channels even in the 480P format are bad. Is it football season yet?

    Remote Codes not working

    Why would the Tivo DVR have the on screen menus to prompt you to do this? Very strange. Thanks for the one reply - I'm surprised more people did not have a say in this!

    Remote Codes not working

    can't find answer on D* website nor here - so help if you can, please. Have Sony audio receiver STR-DE685, the supplied codes from the remote setup menu do not work. Does anyone have a list of other codes that might do the trick? The success of introducing the wifey to Tivo and HD is...

    HR10-250 and Off-Air Antenna

    ROCK CHAWK! a lot could depend on your distance from the signal and the power of your ota antenna. The beauty of the HD signal is that you either get it or you don't, there's no in between like analoge. So, if you are getting a choppy picture, I would think it has more to do with your...

    future use of MPEG 4

    I'm just curious how they are going to use the current Mpeg2 compression specturm. They have so much bandwith tied up with digital music and totally random channels, when more Mpeg4 comes out, I'm curious how they will offer it their subs. Time will tell. And yes, coming from cable, I'm...

    future use of MPEG 4

    Hi Folks. Down the road when there are a majority of Mpeg4 boxes out there, what will the programming look like? Will it be locals only? Will it be all HD? What is the channel capacity of the new bird D* launched? Would it be possible that D* would offer new HD Channels (Like NFLHD) only on...

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    Success! Wow - can't believe I got it to work! New Subscriber, let CSR know that I heard there is a deal that when you sign up for the ST, you can get a free HD-DVR. She put me on hold for about 3 minutes, came back and said that she searched the website and did not see that deal. I...

    Buy today: HD-DVR or SD-DVR and H20?

    Are you a new sub? that's my biggest question. I will call and see if I can swing a new - sub discount with the Free HD-Tivo with the purchase of the ticket and report my outcome.

    DirecTivo HR10-250 Blowout!

    I would be a new sub - a switchover from Comcast. Think they would offer this deal to me?

    Buy today: HD-DVR or SD-DVR and H20?

    Thoughts? I would love to get the HD-DVR but I think that would be a waste for $300 bucks right now, to turn around in a few months and order the new MPG4 version for another $300 - $600. I first thought of buying both the H20 and the existing HD-DVR and am now thinking of a SD DVR box and...

    future HD channels

    I totally agree with you - but I'm not going to go to Dish because they have the Voom channels. I never really watched those "Voom exlusive" channels to begin with. Simply because of the ST, I'm choosing D*. I'm a sell out, but it's that important to me. So, bigger question than...

    future HD channels

    Great discussion so far - I have comcast in Dallas, HD offerings are: Discovery, ESPN, InHD and HBO (at least that I pay for) in addition to the locals which I watch OTA because of signal quality. Comcast On Demand is cool but I can live without. I need the HD DVR so I will buy the D*...

    future HD channels

    Will be moving from Comcast to D for Sunday ticket purposes. Can't wait. What is the future of HD channels? their offering seems light compared to the rest. I am a guy who watches only HD anyway - what suggestions would y'all have for a former Voomer and soon to be Direc sub. Can't get any...
