Good to hear. The performance on the older series was an unacceptable design flaw. The DTV developers must be happy they have a responsive platform.

How has the speed difference been compared to the older HR2x series? My HR23 receiver is slower than molasses in Antarctica :tux:. The pitiful guide performance has had me thinking of switching to Dish for a while.

Thanks for the info. I did a site search and google search but came up empty.

Has there been any word on BBC HD ever coming to DTV? I'm seriously thinking of switching to get BBC HD, Sirius Radio back and an inexpensive 2nd HD DVR.

I know this is an often complained about topic but something odd is going on here with the local NBC affiliate's, WPTV, audio. The commercial volumes seem to be getting pumped up to criminally insane levels. It's bad enough that the original source is coming through with heavy distortion. I...

Is there a reason you can't put in a new power strip and run that to the cabinet? I use a two router setup myself. I have a D-link DIR-655 Gigabit N router. This serves as the wireless base station, WAN and the switch for the wired PCs. In my entertainment center I have a second router...

I have media sharing on the Xbox 360, DVR and an LG B390 blu-ray player. The DTV DVR doesn't work anywhere near as well as the xbox or blu-ray player for media share. It's fun to play with but it just seems slow, often locks up and won't render random images. So I tend to use either the...

Just read through that. DTV seems to be the only unconfirmed one mentioned. BBC is one of the few SD channels I'll watch so I have my hopes up.

Thanks, Reading that I gather that, basically, the official CSR response is "no, BBC HD is not being offered". However, the CSRs have no idea about what is or isn't in the works and DTV keeps that info secret.

Anyone know if BBC will be in HD on July 20th? They're advertising on their bug. I'd so love to see Top Gear in HD.

So you pay $7 less on your cable bill for getting basic cable?

Just looked at the developer section. It's basically a 400x300 image served up from a web server. An RSS feed would be possible but kind of limited. Could even make a satellite guys headline app.

I'd have missed the Hogan's Heros marathon in HD the other day without it :). I like to see the old TV shows shot of film remastered to HD.

Were the posts you read in regards to this channel or just the software issues that have crept up in the past? Just looking for some ammo to point at a source for the problem. My kids watch Nick so that's a big deal for me. I basically have to not hide the SD dupes and manually tune to 299...

I just got off the phone with Sherwood. Wow, that company really knows how to do customer support. Anyway, they suspect it has something to do with the way DirecTV is converting the 2 channel source to Dolby Digital. Either that or an issue is being introduced from the broadcaster. I...

This has been driving me nuts for some months now. On channels 299 and 332 (NickHD and Palladia) the Dolby Digital audio source on these channels breaks up. Originally the problem did not exist but I think it started after one of the CE updates but I'm on the national release now. I haven't...

I've read some conflicting info about them being basically the same to having some differences. I have a problem between the audio compatibility of my receiver and the HR21. On some channels the DD (Nick, Palladia) audio source gets real choppy. I hope there are some differences as far as...

I'm getting a replacement receiver for some DD audio issues I have with a couple channels and my HR-21. What receiver seems to be shipping now? I see there is a HR23, how does it compare with the HR-21? I recall when I got the HR21 it was a new model and the software was atrocious and...

It's nothing short of a miracle that a traditional cable network is broadcasting HD on their HD channel.

I just tried to order a PPV movie both live and VOD and was told the receiver could not establish a network connection to order the movie. However, I can still download free VOD content. What gives here? Is this and issue on DTV's end?

I hope that does not result in an eventual down resolution over component.

Grab the update tonight if you haven't yet. I think the issue was fixed in this weekends CE. And no, you weren't the first to report. It started back several CEs prior to 221.

Yeah, the issue you describe sounds like it could worked around by playing from the buffer instead of live. We really need to get a dedicated forum like > The DIRECTV Forum > Audio Dropouts

I'm sure D* does not want to do that as the backlash and customer support issues would be a nightmare. They could still be forced by the studios. My black levels aren't as detailed over HDMI.

No, messing with the cables won't help. It will be a waste of time. The more common audio issues I think have been fixed. A couple of us have found on the latest CE releases that our receivers were detecting audio errors under differing conditions. I can't change from a non-DD to non-DD (SD...
