    Jerry What's the channel info trick you reference?
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    X If I pause with the new GUI and hit unpause a few seconds later, picks right up but if I hit pause, wait approx 10 or more seconds and then unpause, then it jumps back. So it's not even predictable. That's what makes it more frustrating
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks Jerry for posting useful facts. Very helpful and proves exactly what I was saying. This kind of factual, science based info is way more helpful than guesses or tx dogma. Sounds like Directv still has a lot of under-the-hood repairs to make to performance of the new boxes. But pretty...

    That post speaks VOLUMES for itself. Have a good day.
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Again, this post was not to have my feelings or beliefs validated by a baseball fan in texas. It was to see if other boxes are doing it and it's "normal but crappy" or my box needs fixing/replacing. Maybe once I get my HR24 figured out I'll run my preference of cars, food, women past you to...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Seriously? Ok, well, here's goes the obvious. I pause the game right before something happens, and I want to show someone it, then as I hit play, what I said was about to happen doesn't and we have to watch what already happened. Scenario 2, I'm trying to sync a game with the radio so I can...

    Really? Directv thinks its helpful to rewind you 1-2 seconds when you hit play after hitting pause? And even if this is a new "feature", it didn't happen under the old GUI.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well I just did it again. Was watching the NFL game LIVE. Hit Pause. Counted to 12, hit play, and it jumped back a few seconds. It was pretty obvious b/c I paused it right when the player fumbled, so I KNEW the fumbled happened, and when I hit play 12 seconds later, he had not yet fumbled...

    1. By virtue of pausing, you are ALWAYS behind in the buffer. You can't be paused for ANY amount of time and still be live, so that doesn't make any sense. 2. No, in the past I could fast forward and hit play, and it stopped right where it was. I did it ALL the time during ball games for...

    With the new GUI, many things have changed for the worst. Nothing is better (I don't consider the new Black UI to be impressive, sorry). Here is what has happened to my once perfect HR24. 1. Now, when I pause a live show, then after a few seconds/minutes hit play, it jumps back a couple...
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Any thoughts on if perhaps the DHCP issue I read about on a sticky post could be the issue here? Should I set each box to a Static IP? Could it help? Couldn't hurt, right?
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I'm a bit lost. For the guy who said reset all my receivers, do you mean the Red Button Reset? For the suggestion of hitting guide and the right arrow, is that just going to bring up the guide and move me 30 mins to the right?
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    No I haven't, can you tell me what that is and how to do it?
  14. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Yeah, that's where Directv decided to crap out on me. Nothing I can do about it. Any ideas how to stop this from happening?
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have 4 HR24s, all use DECA for internet, the Deca broadband adapter is connected to my router. This message you see attached has happened with other boxes as well so I don't think it's JUST a bad Living Room Box. Could this be one of those issues I read about where I need to go with Manual...
  16. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Bummer. But thanks for the info. But if I put an H25 there I could then record 6 shows at once, right? As it would keep suggesting my other 3 HR24s?
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have 4 HR24s with MRV. If I record 2 shows at the same time, and then want to record a 3rd at the same time, when I go to record the third, it says I must cancel one of the first 2. Can this be true? Why won't it offer to record on one of my other 3 HR24s around the home?
  18. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    It's a local LA ABC issue b/c I watch it on OTA antenna and get the same horizontal line during today's games.
  19. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    Yes I am having it too. Not sure if it is 129 related, but the fact that the 129 has this problem, even if it is not the cause this time, is such a blight on Dish. And they all deny that it exists. Or they tell you to get a wing dish, lame. Sure wish they could just get their act together...
  20. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I too live in So Cal and am having the same trouble. I don't fully understand how the 61.5 option is viable. Does it carry the same channels as 129? Are they in MP4? I'd love to get a second dish for 61.5 or do something to fix my 129. Can someone expand a bit on 61.5 vs 129.
