  1. The Movies
    The Big Lebowski "The pen is blue!"
  2. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Did you perform the power-off unplug step of the DVR? Then plug in/power on while the external drive is powered.
  3. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I would have used the Continuum Transfunctioner.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Haven't really paid attention to VOD speeds as I've just been selecting all episodes for the various seasons of a show (e.g. GoT, Deadwood), but no problems that Ive noticed. Using an ASUS RT-AC68U with a Cisco DPQ3212 DOCSIS 3 Cable Modem on Cox Cable, paying for 50 Mbps down/10 up.
  5. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Use a Wireless Connection Kit with a standard Genie client. Genie cient to WCCK connection is via coax, then WCCK has a wireless connection to your router. Works well for me, I prefer it to the C41W/WVB combo.
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I replaced mine a while back (in an owned unit) but just recall that it took me a while to figure out the clips. What the trick was is now gone from my memory. I'd probably have to figure them out all over again. Which might happen before too long as I'd really like a 4TB drive in there...
  7. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I might have to dig mine out and give it another try, especially since the Genies (or is it just the new ones?) respond to both RF and IR at the same time.
  8. Local Reception
    How about a tuner that connects to an antenna and wireless router at a convenient location then sends the audio/video over the house wireless Ethernet to a compatible PC application. I use an HD Homerun.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hmm... Now I've got to go home and check AM21 versus AM21N signal strength. My recollection was that both gave 100% signal strength on all channels but then I'm close to the antenna farm (13-15 miles) and have a decent antenna in the attic (which is overkill).
  10. IPTV Hardware
    Hooked mine up to an input on the TV in the bathroom. It downloaded and installed updates, then also downloaded the Netflix app when that function was selected. Works okay so far but only watched one thing on Netflix. Tried using a TV USB input for power and that works so one less thing to...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I solved this issue by getting rid of my Denon's. Both of them acted the same way. No trouble with Pioneer or Onkyo. The Denon's were better AVRs but the problem was maddening. No help from Denon tech support either. Never did figure out what the real problem was, switching between DD and...
  12. Internet Streaming Services
    Estimated delivery for me is 26 Nov so maybe I get a day to mess with it before heading down to Texas on Friday. Got a second to give as a Christmas gift.
  13. TV Show Talk
    The attorney GF is looking forward to BAD JUDGE. If it makes it I'll probably get to see way more of it than I want, just like BIG BROTHER and SHARK TANK. So I guess I'll be rooting against it.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I know my HR34 is frustrating and I feel your pain. I suspect that over time they've upgraded the Genie firmware beyond the capacity of the older tech HR34. You'll be happy with the newer tech HR44 and it's snappy operation.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    How about 611. (from a search on SEC on the DirecTV site)
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR44 Genie is great! The HR34 however is another story. It only responds to the remote when it feels like it. I keep threatening to take it out in the driveway and smash it with a hammer but so far that hasn't helped.
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It's a no-brainer, get the HR44 which is smaller and has snappy remote response.
  18. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    It wasn't until I was out of school and bought my own that I had a color TV - a 19" RCA with both VHF & UHF tuner knobs (no remote). Before that it was all B&W. I'd really like a larger living room TV. Got a 64" plasma now which is nice enough, but I'm usually watching from the kitchen so...
  19. Sports Programming and Events
    I am definitely not a LeBron fan and am happy to see the Heat lose. Wish it could be the Thunder but at least they lost to the best team.
  20. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    89-88-91-89-88-87-86-89-91-87-87-91-86-87-93-92 Central OK SWiM-16 (swapped out less than a year ago, couldn't be adjusted post-roof replacement) SL5 cloudy HR44-500
