    Cancelled DTV over terrible customer service

    I too called retention dept. I said I wanted to cancel for the outdated equipment that only has 100 timers to share between 4 tv's They tried to upgrade me to a genie 2 but I informed them that it would not help any over my hr44 because it only has 100 timers also. CS said but the genie 2 has a...

    Are we ever going to get more than 100 record timers?

    If you used h25 receivers for 3 years and use your neighbor's hr24 you would say its painfully slow. I had to upgrade from a hr34 to hr44 because of the speed difference between the hr34 and h25.

    Are we ever going to get more than 100 record timers?

    Like I said "directivo" they were before dtv had their own DVR 10+ years ago probably more like 15years. Genies have only be around for about 3.5 years I got a hr34 the first day you could order then got hr44 as soon as my 2years were up it was as slow as a hr24.

    Are we ever going to get more than 100 record timers?

    Well thats the problem I have 3 h25 receivers they are as fast if not fast than my hr44. I could not stand to go back to the painfully slow hr24 dvrs. Plus i would only get 50 extra series per receiver. If they would let me add a 2nd genie to my account I would in a second problem solved. Or if...

    Are we ever going to get more than 100 record timers?

    I find it really hard to believe that Dtv has never lifted the 100 timer limit on the hr34-44. What good does recording 5 channels at once and only 100 timers. I have 4 tvs and that breaks down to 25 timers per tv. I have lived with this problem for 3 years. My directivo 10 years ago could set...

    What is the Maximum number of timers on the new DirecTV Whole Home DVR (HR34)

    yes its a 100! Dtv needs to raise it to 125-150. I constantly have to delete to make room for new ones. Not that there is a 100 recording but shows that are on there from last season that are off right now and dont want to miss when they come back on. Plus with 3 people recording in the house on...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    I hope they never come back on a lower my bill $0.25 a month thats about what their "content" is worth to me. Another reason to offer a la cart programing this way you pay for what you really want and the ones you don't is not sticking it to you every month!

    Skipping Commerials - a viewpoint

    Don't forget that Dtv owns the intellectual property of replay tv. They had it working great until they basicly got sued out of bussiness for it. I still miss the automatic skip to this day it was so nice to hit play sit the remote down for the entire show.

    Don't forget about VOD you can record 5 shows plus download 1 so that makes 6 at once without overlaps ;)

    HR34 not recording some shows, canceling series recordings on it's own

    The only issue I have it wants to record shows that are not first run. But I had the exact same issue with Dish but their 922 was painfully slow to delete the shows one by one. At least on the Hr43 I just hit the red button and delete the whole group at once. So far in 4 months with HR34 I have...

    HR34 HD guide

    My HR34 is sluggish also compared to H25's the guide is fast (but who really uses that anyway) but any other task is very laggy. The H25 should be the benchmark on how a satellite receiver should function anything less is unacceptable for this day and age of electronics. I know the HR34 should...

    New HR34 or wait for Hopper???

    I wouldn't put too much faith in the kangaroo system if it was me. After owning their top of the line 922 for 2 years was enough for me. That company hypes its stuff up and delivers nothing but promises. I have watched more tv in the last 1.5 months with hr34 than the last 2 years with the other...

    DirecTV HR-34 - disappointing

    It sure does I have been using it for the last 1.5 months. You have to re enter it every time the receiver has been rebooted but it does work fine.

    does the new HD GUI remove the 50 'show' limit

    Dish has 96 timers and hr34 has 100. I wished they would give us more timers though. Maybe bump to 125 4 tvs and 1 dvr recording 5 channels at once doesn't take long to hit 100 series timers. We have already hit the 100 at our house and there are some new shows coming on. So now we have to...

    DirecTV HR-34 - disappointing

    I have had mine for a month everything seems to run fine for me except when I try out the CE's they are sluggish and buggy but thats to be expected on first ce releases. On the NR builds my box works as fast or slightly faster than hr24's I have used. But the hr34 is still nowhere near the...

    Whole home networking

    If you can plug cat5 from your router to the hr34 then it would do away with needing DECA broadband adapter and you would only need the DECA adptors for the other receivers. Also check ebay you can pick up the adapters cheaper than retail most of the time.

    DIRECTV HR34 Home Media Center

    you can pause and rewind recordings from hd receivers but you cant not pause live tv unless you hit record then you can play that recording and pause and rewind your heart away. I don't know why people are making a big deal out of this? The whole point of a dvr is to never watch live tv. Live tv...

    Dish to Directv questions

    I have found your best bet is to just order it online at dtv's website. I found its the best deal and least hassle. Right now you can get $31 a month credit for 1st year $16 a month credit on 2nd year and no $20 processing fees and you can use $100 referral code. Any time I called in they would...

    Pending install date - whole house Cat5 ?'s

    I have hr34 and (3)h25 swm8 and have cat5 going to the hr34 only all receivers see internet and mvr works fine. Also the iPad app can also see all h25's so they are connecting to the network somehow?

    Pending install date - whole house Cat5 ?'s

    you dont need a deca with the hr34 just hook cat5 to it and it feeds internet to all other receivers via coax. Or if you have deca installed then dont hook up the cat5 on hr34 either way works.

    Pending install date - whole house Cat5 ?'s

    go ahead and sign up for rebates as long as your order show HMC for the main receiver. Only the hr34 needs cat5 all others will get internet through the rg6 from the bridge that the hr34 creates. You only need 1wire going to the dish and 1 going to each receiver for your setup.
