    Well, the second CSR didn't cancel the order. I just received an email from FedEx that the boxes are being delivered tomorrow.

    My contract is up already. I will try again later.

    Pathetically slow. The HR20 take literally minutes to change channels. The HR23 is not much better. The 20 and 23 were the 2 I really wanted to change to a HR24. Since the CSR said I could also do the 22 I was like ok, get a newer one. I have had the HR20 for over 10 years. The 22 and 23 are...

    They will basically force me to do more streaming.

    I called them back and the CSR says she cancelled the order. We'll see since it is still listed on the my account. She claims the only "upgrade" for me is to go to the genie minis. Sorry that's not an upgrade since I lose functionality.

    That's not what I want. I want to keep my tuners. I guess I need to call them back

    I just called to get an ancient HR20, HR22 and HR23 swapped out. I also have a HR44 and a HR24. I have a SWM-16 The lady set me up with 3 Genie Mini's. It looks like they have 5 tuners each. It seems like I'm going to be way over the capacity of the SWM-16. The order says drop ship so no...

    I got it yesterday. Can't stand it. The wife is pissed.

    It does say all channels in the series manager. It is set to first run only so that doesn't help matter. I'll change them to a recording from the guide.

    I'll have to check the series manager when I get home. I think it was set from the search results.

    I have several season pass recordings set up on my HR44. It is recording the new episodes just fine. My problem is keeps downloading previous episodes from the season from the on demand. Even though all the episodes have been watched. Is there a why to stop this? Thanks

    I have experienced this on numerous HR's. It seems to me it is because of how slow they are and the dumb Press-And-Hold skip to end function. The HR responds so slowly it ends up interpreting the multiple skips as a Press-And-Hold and jumps to the end. Really sucks when you watching a recorded...

    It is connected with only HDMI directly to the TV. Has been for years. I'll have to check and see if it keeps happening or was a one time event. At the time I did check the other Disney channels and they were fine.

    Today, on one of my HR22's, I received the message that the program was restricted. It was on Disney XD, a rerun of a Kickin' It espisode. This has not happened before. I can't say for sure whether my TV is compliant. The TV is connected directly to the TV not through a switch or an AVR. This...

    I have getting plenty of dropouts on CBS KTVT in Dallas recently.

    I was looking at the HR my son uses early yesterday evening since some things weren't recording. The guide was all dorked up after a couple days out. Some was filled in, some wasn't. Box hadn't rebooted in quite a while so the data should have been there. Restarted it myself to try and clean it...

    Do the annoying "Press Red Button to do something" popups ever stop coming up? I don't need to see that every time I change the channel or exit the guide. Just as annoying as the dumb scoreguide reminders all the time.

    Same for me. Get 771 on all local channels. Started right before halftime. Thought it was my receiver. signals levels look fine though.

    One difference for the satellite service versus the cable companies, is that for many rural areas satellite is the only choice. More urban areas frequently at least have a choice of a cable company, satellite, Uverse and/or FIOS. So combing Time Warner and Comcast for a household perspective is...

    Turned on the HR20-100 in the Master Bedroom tonight to record something for my wife. I thought it was toast, since no front panel lights came on, but the TV was showing programming. In every other way the box seems to be working. Is this a sign of pending doom? The unit is pretty old at...
