  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am glad to hear you say that. I have been thinking about going to E* just because of the 622. My sister has it and it looks awesome, but I haven't really had time to play with it. I don't really like the HR20. But hearing from someone that has used both shows me that I may just be to picky and...

    I get 498 and 9301, but I get a 721 on 9300

    Same here on both. SciFi HD is really the only channel that I am waiting for.

    Good one!
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I am glad that I saw this thread today. I have been considering going to E* just for the DVR. I don't really hate the HR20, but I don't really like it either. My sister got E*, and the 622 looked much better than the HR20. But, I don't want to make a decision just because the interface is...

    Mine has also been very stable since Christmas. I have not had any problems at all. I wonder if it is a usage pattern issue. They fixed the bugs for the way I use the machine, but in doing so broke everyone that was working.

    LOL! What a great problem to have. I apologize if I am coming across as argumentative or a complainer. That is not my intent. I was just trying to defend a statement that I thought had merit, it had nothing to do with people who have problems vs. people who don't. I will shut up now. Again...

    Agreed, and I use Macs. And we know that there are no bugs in Mac OS X. :D An old college professor pounded into us that there is no such thing as a "bugless program". I think that you can reduce the number of major bugs out there (which I think that D* has done and is still working on) but you...

    I understand, but I was just trying to argue his point(or maybe I am just trying to argue :D) that if there is a bug in the software and that each box has the same software, then 100% of the boxes have the problem. Maybe only 20% of the people might be experiencing the symptoms.

    I'm not sure, but I think that I have another problem. I started using OTA with x10b, My box wouldn't pick up 30-1 in the atlanta area. I noticed that with x115 that I was now getting 30-1. I checked the signal strength and it was weak(between 50 & 60). Now with x11b I have lost 30-1 again. I...

    I think that his point is that it is not a low percentage of manufacturing defects or anomalies, but rather bugs in the firmware. Every box has these bugs, but some people are not hitting the condition to cause these bugs to surface. That doesn't mean that they won't surface in the future. It is...

    That is an interesting theory. The only times that I have had problems is when I didn't watch TV for a few days and didn't use the box. I had IKD and BSOD problems. My Harmony remote puts it in standby when I hit the off button. So it was in standby for several days. Other that that one stretch...

    I had a strange problem right after the upgrade. I had no audio on on live TV for about 20 secs then it came back. I tried to watch a recording from earlier tonight, and there was no audio at all. I played around, and everything went back to normal. Even the recording now has sound. After doing...

    Came home tonight to the dreaded BSOD. I am currently doing a RBR that I am sure will fix it.

    That is just disturbing. :D

    I have 119, and last night I had problems watching 24 with picture break ups and audio drop outs. How do I tell if it is the unit or the station? I recorded both OTA and MPEG-4 so if it is the station, they should both have the problems in the same place? Thanks, Jim

    24 looked terrible at times for me as well.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I agree as well. This is a great idea and a lot of fun. Thanks Earl and D*.

    That is a good point. I had to track down a bug in a project that I did for a customer. The problem turned out to be a bug in the TCP/IP stack on the server machine causing flakey behavior in communications. It took me two weeks before I decided to do a TCP/IP trace that revealed the problem. I...
