  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Your tv receiving HD/Digital channels depends on whether or not it came with a built in digital HD tuner. From what I've read here it's hard or even impossible to choose an HR20 or HR21 from Directv. They just send what they have on hand.

    Telling people to "just plug the antenna into your tv for ota" defeats the purpose of DVR. Some people like to record the shows on the subchannels.

    Where's Earl?

    My Grandma's Bravia has that problem when it's connected by HDMI. We don't see that issue on our Panasonic here at home though.

    Thanks for taking the time to count all those and type it all in Lundy.

    It would be nice if the gui was native HD. They could fit so much more stuff on it that way and it would still look nice. I'm sure someone, somewhere is working on it right now.

    The TiVo interface is awful in my opinion and I could never live with it. I like having control over my home theater and the HR20 has the options that let me do that. The DirecTiVos never have. Using a TiVo is like having someone hold your hand when you cross the street.

    I think the wording might be to blame there. There's "Restart" and "Reset" but they're both under the same option in the Setup.

    I think that's a good guess. Any HD on 101 is most likely MPEG 2.

    On the DirecTV locals. I don't have an antenna for OTA channels. I'm for sure it's my local affiliate though because it only does it when my NBC affiliate shows their logo after commercials. Sometimes it happens in the middle of shows like Heroes when they have extended periods without commercials.

    I've noticed that sometimes my local channel providers switch from 1080i down to 480p when they put their logo on the screen for station identification. It could be that causing it. Does it happen on the national channels too?

    No.. That's a feature I wanted and I'm glad we have it now.

    I'm watching 9300 and 9301 from South-Central Indiana now. They both look EXCELLENT! Absolutely amazing. Please.. Please.. Leave Them On! :D

    It seems to me that the problem isn't with D10, but with some people's setups. Since I get the slide on 498 with my HR20-700 and I know people with HR20-100's who get it, that is the only logical explanation.

    Thanks for your help everybody. I finally got through to DirecTV support after trying off an on today. The CSR said they would charge me $70 for the installation and the fact that they didn't sell me the receiver would be fine. What I was mostly worried about was all of the hardware they'd...

    Hi everyone, Yesterday I talked my grandma into upgrading to an HR20 so she could get the new channels. She has a DirecTV brand TiVo in her living room and a Phillips DirecTV TiVo in her bedroom. We're having the installer move to receiver from her living room to her bedroom and since she owns...

    I don't think they've pushed any new showcases out to HR20's since they enabled them. A few people received them with a CE build prior to the national release though.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Do you have the external antenna connected?
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I haven't missed a recording in months. My grandma misses them all the time with her HR10 though. Go figure. This myth about the HR20 missing more recordings than the Tivo units doesn't hold water.

    What are you talking about Drew? This guy's last post didn't seem, to me, like it warranted that reaction. Did I miss something?
