  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for the info. No PP as I've only ever needed a couple of replacements in 20+ years so I view it as money not well spent.

    Is this true even if I own the HR21? I guess I'll give them a call to find out.
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I agree that it's slow but the wife is the user and she's OK with it. I'm trying to avoid adding to my commitment if possible. Since I own the HR21 I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that I'll get hit with another 2 year commitment.

    In the advanced tests (BIST) one of the tuner tests list SATNAV | TUNER1 | TUNER2 along with the values or the error code. At least I recall it being SATNAV, maybe it was something else :) My wife doesn't watch live TV so I can't really answer that but if it's a tuner related issue then I would...

    The HR21-100 in the bonus room is getting 6803 errors on SATNAV even though the signal levels on the tuners are in the high 90's. I ran drive tests which came up clean. I then swapped in an old HR20-700 and the SATNAV was fine so it doesn't seem to be a wiring/disk/SWM problem. Trying to see...

    Well, since it definitely did not record the one episode (it was 15 minutes into to so that's a for sure thing) and the others weren't listed in the ToDo list, while everything else was, I made the rash assuption they wouldn't record. And you know what? They didn't :) I didn't reboot the box...

    Thanks. I know that will work as I've done that in the past w/an HR20 but I'm trying to get a bit more info to see if it can be isolated a bit more.

    I've got a similar problem on a couple of series links with my HR44 as well. It would have missed both shows last night and still didn't automatically record tonight's episode either. It is listing it as it will record them next week though. The things I missed last night worked fine on the...

    I noticed today on the HR44 that the some of my first-run series links aren't set to record shows with new episodes whereas others are set just fine. Same goes for tomorrow night on a different channel. It's not just a data issue as the HR21 was set to record things on the same channels just...

    It's not much help but I've got the same problem where some shows just go into a download loop. They get mostly downloaded and then go back to a pending download state. I've never been able to resolve this and others have reported similar problems. Since this has happened on both an HR20 and my...

    They didn't want my HR20-700 back when I upgraded just a couple of weeks ago.

    If anybody has any other ideas I'm open to suggestions as I'd really like to resolve this since it makes VOD more or less useless.

    I am far enough from the CO that it's only 3Mb/s and since I don't connect the phone line I don't have any caller ID problems. As for the filter, yes, I have a whole house DSL filter on the network distribution panel.

    Did the test this morning and there's no change. The Genie finished the download and the started again. Don't know if it's the specific show or not but it's Rogue S2E1.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I’ve been running into problems with download on demand content for some time and would like to finally get this fixed. I have scoured some of the older posts but none of the suggestions have solved my situation. My configuration recently changed as I’ve added an HR44 and MRV to the system in...

    Yeah, the installer says minimum of 4 ft so I've got it a bit further than that from the WiFi router. The only thing still bugging me is the on-demand network issues when downloading. I get repeated errors (even before the Genie) and sometimes downloads will finish and then auto delete and...

    The install was completed today w/o any significant problems. The WVB is placed in the same room as as my other networking gear and the placement seems to be OK for now. The mini only has one wall in the way from the bridge so that shouldn't be a problem. It will have to go through 2 floors for...

    The reason for wireless over wired is simply that the room where I want to use it can't easily be wired. Since it won't be a prime viewing room it seemed like the best overall solution other than stringing coax around to get things located in a optimal spot.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR20 finally bit the dust and rather than simply replacing it I'm going the free upgrade route with a Genie and a Wireless Mini. I've already got a SWM8 installed but since it's not on D*s records (self install a few years ago) they're going to do a truck roll - which won't happen until the...

    I opted to do the swap this morning and it all booted up just fine. I'm guessing it's related to a change in the new SW.
