Resolution. Called DirecTV and told them of my problem. I switched remotes to no effect. I was then told of the hard drive corruption potential due to something that went wrong in their downstream. Although I couldn't imagine why this would reduce the range of the remote, I was asked to try...

Thanks for the advice. Downloaded the NR and have the same problem. Weird thing is that the IR doesn't work any better than the RF for the HR21-700, but works fine for the TV, so maybe its not the remote, but rather the receiver itself. Need to contact DirecTV and see what they think. Thanks...

Not sure if its just my remotes, my boxes or my software (4cc), but both my IR and RF ranges have decreased down to 2 feet or so. I had been on RF and when that basically quit working a few (several?) days ago, I switched back to IR. While hat seemed to work well for a day, I'm now back down to...

I just found out about this today and am extremely unhappy about it. My college football team (U of Arizona) is playing away tomorrow and VS is the broadcaster. I've already contacted my rep at the University to see what can be done to insure VS no longer gets the right to carry our games...

Ok. I've read through this entire thread and believe I have a solution that I'd like a little feedback on before I pull the trigger... I'd like to add an external 1.5tb (or 2tb?) to one of my HR20-700s. Antec MX-1 Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB or any other / better suggestions Would consider a...

Just got ready to watch Lost and discovered that my bedroom hr20-700 did not record and lost the entire to-do list. Rebooted and it seems to be repopulating my to-do list. We'll see if it all comes back... Haven't checked my other dvrs yet. I'll check tomorrow or perhaps later if I can't...

I have been waiting for this feature to be released to all HR2x models before getting an external hard drive... Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

Maybe if he SHOUTS SOME MORE people will believe him...

Yup. DirecTV sells that for $80 which led me to start ordering from them until I found the tax and s/h ended up at over $90 which led me back to Amazon at $89.99 w/ free 2 day shipping (Prime membership was great for Christmas!) We'll see how this works for VOD etc... hopefully very well...

A bit of clarification please. Do you have movies (.avi) already on your computer which you would like to stream to your dvr? If so, you need to use media server software on your computer (like windows media player or TVersity) to stream to your box (assuming you've networked your dvr into...

Hi all... I know that the WGA600n (~$90) is a supported adapter which will configure directly with the HR2x series without hooking up to a computer, but frankly that's not that big a deal to me... I can use my laptop to get in on my network. My router is a Linksys G using wpa2 and I don't...

I love simple answers, even when they make me feel kinda dumb... Thanks. It worked.

I installed this receiver just before Thanksgiving with only one feed from my dish as it replaced an SD box to which the installer only ran one cable since that's all it required. In the past few days, I had the opportunity to to run another line to it and connected it to the box and dish...

I've heard that many have had success with the powerlines (which is why I went that route to begin with), but in my case it has been nothing but a never ending aggravation... I can certainly understand how some houses would be better off with powerlines vs wireless, but the way my house it...

Although you've already gotten the wireless adapters, I feel compelled to jump in and advise against the powerline adapters (I bought from D*, but I understand they are all basically the same). I got a pair and they work sporadically at best. Usually not at all. I've gone through all the...

That's what I do too, but I was just wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience... If not, I'll be the guinea pig.

Has anyone tried using a switch on one of Directv's powerline network adapters? I am wondering if I can use this arrangement for a new hddvr and wii (and later perhaps a ps3 as well). They wouldn't be sharing simultaneous bandwidth, so that's not the issue, just whether it will work at all...

I figured it must have been some kind of test signal or broadcast flag, but I was watching the recording kinda late at night and the robotic-ness (?) of the voice sounded like something out of some cheesy sci-fi movie. Thanks and Tiger does have God smiling down on him - all the practice...

Did anyone happen to record and watch the NBC feed of the US Open on Monday? Around the 23 minute mark, the audio went silent for a few seconds. Then there was a robotic voice "Shadow 1, Shadow 2, Shadow 3" spoken in left speaker, right speaker, both. "Shadow 4, Shadow 5, Shadow 6" with the...

HR21s are at my Costco for $169

FWIW my HR20-700 died last week after ... just over a year I guess. Froze in the middle of a show and that was that. Reset would get me to the first splash screen (once it got to 'checking satellites 1 of 2') and no further. D* CSR told me that it was very strange that it wouldn't get any...

+1 on manual recording. That's the only way I've found to get Glenn to record just once a day.

If we are still talking about adding a 1 Tb drive to a D* receiver (HR20/21), you can use virtually any external e-sata enclosure and drive. Build a multi-Tb raid array :) . This external drive will functionally replace the internal drive. No sharing between them and no getting to whatever is...

Ok, then I think I'll give those powerline plugs a shot. I've also been trying to get TVersity to stream straight 15 Mb/s AVCHD (.m2ts) which has been somewhat of a challenge. Haven't quite figured out the right cocktail of renaming the extension and/or transcoding, but I have managed to get...

Does that setup involve streaming HD content from some device (xbox360?)? That's really the linchpin of my need. I want to be sure I don't starve for bandwidth by bumping up against a powerline or wireless limitation as compared to the theoretical throughput of a particular network adapter.
