  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for the replys. Looks like I've got several settings options to control my play lists. See OP. I have no intentions of giving up a DVR. The only change in DVR's will be swapping the HR24-200 for a Genie (HR34/44). The purpose of the mini is portability. I want to be able to move it...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My current setup is a HR24-200 in the living area and a HR24-500 in the game room. I'm considering replacing the HR24-200 with a Genie, keeping the HR24-500, and adding a wireless mini. I'm looking for answers on several questions. First, I know the HR34 and HR44 has 5 tuners. If the HR24...

    How do I tell the HR24-500 to send the 480i out on the RCA/S-Video outputs, and then revert to HDMI output on other resolutions? Sounds like a good idea but seems like it would have to be manual, i.e. connecting/disconnecting cables between resolutions. If so, way too much trouble.

    These new receivers replaced HR21-700. I've got spoiled with HD so try to avoid SD but there is some stuff out there I still watch. OK, so I setup my DVR to "native", check all of the available output resolutions, but how do I specify 480i as the SD output to my TV? Also, what settings do I...
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I recently had two HR24-500 receivers installed and immediately noticed a degradation in picture quality on SD channels. The picture appears grainy, and is especially on any alpha-numeric characters that appear on screen. Characters appear as if they are composed of blocks, with absolutely no...

    Thanks for the input. Yes, I am using the front panel buttons. And no, reset everything will not do a hd format (however the latest csr says it's the only way to do a format). these people are very ill trained. Monsterman and Steve: I will give your suggestions a try. the only difference I...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR21-700 has had some recent problems and the CSR suggested reformatting the hard drive. I was told to do a red button reset, wait past the welcome screen, and on the blank screen hold down the "record" and "down arrow" at the same time. I did that for the suggested 10 seconds and format...

    I read of mixed results with these enclosures. Some say the fan is way too loud. Is this case the "standard" for external drives for DVR's? Any other brands being used with good results?
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I missed the email announcement. Could anyone please post the channels involved in the free weekend? Thanks
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    What is a "menu reset", how do you do it, and why is it better than a cold boot i.e. pulling the plug? thanks
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Wouldn't it be very important to protect your plasma from intermittent power disruptions just like your other components?
