    HMC HR34 OTA Channels Missing

    I read elsewhere that this happened to several folks the night DTV moved the Viacom channels. For me, a red-button reset cured the issue. Others have recommended a local channel scan. Thanks, everyone!

    HMC HR34 OTA Channels Missing

    Hi All, Beginning a few days ago, I noticed most of my OTA channels weren't showing up in the guide, nor could I access them by manually typing in the channel (41-1, for example). I have about 25 OTA channels available to me, but only two are showing up in the guide. I verified in the antenna...

    XM or other Christmas Music on DirecTV

    The ONLY thing that was nice about Time Warner was a channel that had fireplace video and Christmas music. Sadly, that was the only thing nice about Time Warner!

    XM or other Christmas Music on DirecTV

    I didn't say that wanted to listen to Christmas music right now. I was curious how DirecTV does things for the holidays. I do agree with you. We wait until after Thanksgiving to start celebrating!!!

    New Install - Should I worry about which equipment I get?

    I had DirecTV installed yesterday. I was bummed out that I was receiving a HR20-700 dvr - the same model I had with DirecTV 2 1/2 years ago. However, I was able to get DirecTV2PC, media share and On Demand to work without issues. I either don't know what I am missing or it is a good receiver...

    Potential New Customer: DirecTV HD plans?

    Ordered! Hi All, I talked to a DirecTV rep today. She noticed that I was a former customer and looked at my past account. I ordered 1 HD DVR, 2 HD Receivers and 2 SD receivers. I don't know if I got a good rep, or if I received a standard past customer deal, but this is what she did...

    Potential New Customer: DirecTV HD plans?

    Yes, they don't activate mpeg2 equipment with mpeg4 equipment anymore. So the cost for the 322 is $200 and there is a $59 per room installation charge. Total cost is $348. Doesn't matter that I have a Dish 1000.4 on my roof and that all room are already wired!

    Potential New Customer: DirecTV HD plans?

    Hi All, I have been looking at both Dish and DirecTV. I am currently with Time Warner Cable, home of the worlds worst customer service. I have mainly focused on changing to Dish, but the upfront costs for 6 rooms seems unreasonable at $348. I know that there are options to share...

    Package Recommendation?

    Thanks for the information. I looked at the different plans, but I didn't see anything that would save me money, either. The premier package does look like the way to go, might as well have it all for a few bucks more!

    Noise at top of HD Monitor

    Hi All, I have a DirecTV HD DVR HR20-700 with software 0xbe. Unless we change the screen from "Standard" to "Fill" on our Westinghouse 42" HD monitor, there is noise that runs at the very top most portion of the screen. Is this a defect of the TV, or of the HD box? Thanks... Michael
