    Similar to several people above, I get the "DIRECTV Application encounted Technical Difficulty. Please Try Again..." on my Moto Droid on Verizon when I go to actually record a program. No issues logging in and seeing my channels/programming, but when I select "Record this program", I get the...

    HR21-700. I noticed this morning one of my shows (Mad Men) was not recording. My guide is set to only show a favorites list of channels - mostly HD channels. When I changed the guide to display all channels, any channel that was not in my Favorites list displayed "to Be announced" for every...

    Earl, I like many found this site two years ago when I acquired my first HR20. I was amazed at the positive and helpful spirit created here unlike many sites where users spend most of their time knocking each other. Although I didn't post every day, I lurked often (and downloaded almost...

    This comparison just makes no sense to me either. The two products are today doing very different things. I suspect that if AppleTV as a product had to actually record TV with guides and Season Passes and WishLists, the "elegant" GUI would be challenged to stay that way. It is a magnitude...

    I should have mentioned I am using HDMI through the Onkyo receiver.

    I posted this one way back in the beginning but honestly have not tested it recently. At the beginning (and often the end) of programs downloaded from the various Discovery channels (Discovery, Discovery Health), there is an issue with the audio that causes the speakers with my Onkyo receiver...

    I bought one last night at Costco and it was $169. The sign at my Costco was wrong. Did you take it to the register to check price?

    I'm having no problems either. The first week was inoperable but since then it has been fine. I've had it on today since the first games kicked off with no issues. I'm running on a DSL connection that is not that fast. Have you tried all of their tips?

    Check your locals. If a game is on your local channels, it will usually be "blacked" out on the Sunday Ticket channels.

    I am seeing a ton of pixelation in today's games. I'm watching mostly 723 (Dolphins-Redskins). Even the commercials are pixelating! No issues yesterday with any HD college games. I'm wondering if it depends on your channel. I've flipped to other games and they don't seem to be as bad.

    I received the message that my B-Bands were not connected when in fact they were to my HR-20. I tried the test suggested in the link above (recording on one channel, test channel 499, start new recording, stop first recording which switches tuners and try 499 again) For some reason, this time...

    I've had this problem on the past two updates. It is happening pretty frequently for me. It is only happening on MPEG4 recordings (DTV, not OTA) from my local channels that I have noticed thus far.

    I've had this on the past couple of versions (0132 and 1134): Playback of programs does not start at the beginning but instead starts 50 seconds to 1 minute into the recording. I then have to rewind to the beginning. The issues to date have been with HD programming.

    Glad to be an outlier. Started at 127 degrees. Now with the Chill Pad I am at around 112-115. It is a closed space with limited ventilation though.

    There are a lot of posts about people getting black screens coming out of standby that require and RBR (red button reset). For this reason, and the ones noted above, I don't use standby now.

    Zaney - I do not know how to do what you suggested but here is a tip I learned that works exactly as you wants. I am not at the Harmony software so perhaps someone else can give you the exact steps (or search through the forum as it is answered elsewhere). First, in the setup for your TV, have...

    Well done LGM. Beat me by a minute...
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The Bears game issues may have been due to the Fox feed. I had all the problems you described. There are many comments on thsi game scattered throughout the board so I suspect this one may not be entirely due to the HR20. I had to watch my SD Tivo version. As for the padding issue, I suspect...

    I am not sure if this is a coincidence but I came home last night to find that both Earl and Ugly Betty had not recorded and the history on both said canceled. I am using 115, downloaded on Tuesday and rebooted afterwards. They were listed on the To Do that morning. I happened to come home...

    It appears to be fixed for me, finally. I hope it stays this way through the Rose Bowl.
