    What does "Woot" mean? :confused: I nominate this thread for the most useless thread of the year award.

    HR10-250 HDMI fix, maybe

    Skip - Dont wait for it to download. Keep forcing the daily call until it dowloads. It will take about an hour then it will reboot.

    HR10-250 HDMI fix, maybe

    To the best of my knowledge the HDMI issue is a hardware problem. When mine didnt work I shook the card which resulted in picture. This is discussed heavily in the tivo community forums.

    Showtime HD

    Out of all the HD channels directv offers, I'll agree with you that Showtime is the least sharp. Many others call it HD Lite. But is shouldnt be really snowy. I believe Showtime's PQ will improve when football is over.

    D* Plans Its Own DVR For '05

    Not being able to "skip" over ads is a major benefit I would miss. It wont take too long before Tivo implements a software update to remove our current ability to do this. Hopefully Voom/E* wont do this. Dear Charlie: Can you please hurry up and buy Voom, roll out a DVR. I'll come back!!

    Help. DVI input dead. Need keystrokes.

    Skip Are you sure it was the TV??. As you may know the HDMI output on the HDTivo is not reliable. Try hooking up a DVD player with DVI output to your TV. Did you try component?

    Directv compression on HD Channels

    For the most part I've been very happy with D* HD. There are times when Showtime HD looks fuzzy especially on Sundays, but the other channels are just fine. IMHO, HDNet always has the best PQ. Like looking thru a window

    Avoid the post bankruptcy rush !!! Come on in the waters fine!

    GREETINGS FROM YOUR MODERATION STAFF:HAVE ANY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS POST HERE

    I love me some Satelliteguys. What I dont like is when Sean Mota Deletes anti-Voom posts and decides on his own to close a thread. :no IMHO, Posts or threads should only be deleted if they are derogatory or insulting. Not because someone feels they "go nowhere".

    No Dolby Digital thru TV using HDMI with HR10-250

    Hi Barney: Just wanted to finally put this thread to rest. I tried using the DVI cable and RCA audio but that did not solve the audio issue. The HR10-250 will only output thru the RCA audio jacks only if there is nothing connected to the HDMI port. In other words, the only way I will...

    Dish Customer thinking of switching..

    Call Graham Walsh at www.valueelectronics.com and tell him Zubin Referred you. I made the switch just like you. I do like the Samsung HD boxes, but I wanted the HD Tivo.

    Wondering why I went to V* after switching back to D*??

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; IMHO Voom's 2 major benefits are: 1 Its exclusive channels (subjective - some love em some dont) 2. Cinemax & Starz HD I can understand movie buffs want to switch to V* for these reasons. But do the drawbacks outweight the above benefits...

    RANT: D* only adding Spanish content, not English!? WTF!?

    Tu no quieres los canales de espanol?? (Hey I remember some High School Spanish...I amaze myself) Dont just rant...vote with your pocketbook. Sign up with Voom or cable for the more HD. Aye Caramba!!

    No Dolby Digital thru TV using HDMI with HR10-250

    Thanks Barney. I havent yet received my replacement from D* because the Hurricanes are affecting Fedex shipments from the area.

    OK gang I'm moving to Direct!

    Agreed. Especially if you're lucky enough to have a working HDMI port.

    No Dolby Digital thru TV using HDMI with HR10-250

    Yeah I've also posted on tivocommunity where hundreds of others have this problem. It is an inconvenience. But what makes it worse is that D* thinks its an isolated incident and not a widespread hardware defect. That pisses me off.

    No Dolby Digital thru TV using HDMI with HR10-250

    Barney: Just wanted to let you know I didnt forget to post my update its just that something else happened. While I was making the switch to the DVI cable Tuesday night, something strange happened - The HDMI output stopped working altogether. I got nothing thru HDMI, no video no nothing...
