I have several questions regarding my HR20-700 receiver...
First, I am trying to hook-up a 2nd HD television in my room where by HR20-700 is located. Not sure how to split the signal to the second television. I called DirecTV and they told me that the only way you can split the signal is before you connect to the receiver and that I would need a multi-switch type splitter to boost the signal. Also, I would need a second receiver. I actually have an older Hughes/Tivo HR-250 receiver. Is there any other way that I can simply use only my HR20-700 to connect the second television? If I went that route, is there a way to move from my IR remote to an RF remote? The DirecTV person told me that the HR20-700 does not have a connector on the back to utilize an RF remote. By the way, my 2 televisions are about 6 feet a part and face the opposite directions. My primary is used to watch television from bed and the other is used to watch television from a treadmill...
My last question has to do with the amount of time it takes to change channels on my HR20-700. It takes between 4-5 seconds to change channels and see/hear the changed channel. That is a really long time. The technician who installed my unit told me that DirecTV is aware of this issue and that they will correct it with a software release. I'm currently on version Oxac. When I called DirecTV today, they said that they have not heard this complaint, but would certainly file it on my behalf. Anyone else experiencing this issue? What have you heard???
Thanks for any assistance to my questions.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
