    Hello clueless, The HR34-700's are at the end of their life cycle but I would keep it and the mini's (not sure which ones you have but they could be the older ones so the same advice would apply to them). Sending back the card is most important. If everything goes right (most of the time it...
  2. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hello nfrtdm, You can first try to operate the units and see if it works. I suspect that your changes are enough to make you repeat the satellite setup for each unit. It should be successful after you repeat the satellite setup as most of the parts of the satellite system were not changed. I...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hello Everyone, After having an HR34 for quite a while I noticed that there was only one model -700. I thought that the normal procedure was to make a model from two or more manufacturers was the norm and a bit of common sense. It was a clue that the HR34 was a proof of concept unit This...

    Hello Everyone, The HR34-700 came out and I waited for it to be in general supply. Even after I received one I noticed one important fact. There was only one model. To me this says that it is a proof of concept machine (upgrade from 2 tuners to 5 tuners) and there will be something else...

    Hello tomsper46, If they can get every broadcast off 119 and 110 doesn't seem to be used then they can put all of their satellite dishes to point just to 99, 101 and 103 which should make installing, aligning as well as inventory and installer training easier for DirecTV and the customers who...

    Hello Everyone, As far as I am concerned the "AT&T brand name is something that I would scrape off my shoe if I stepped on it. It has been degraded repeatedly and went to the bottom for a long time ago!!!!

    Hello slice1900, there is another possibility. Due to the age of the older receivers/DVR'ss they might replace them with more modern units. It could also be used to replace all of the SD units with HD units at the same time! A smaller selection of units to keep in stock.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    :scratch: Hello Everyone, I suspect that there is a certain point in which it becomes much more economical to replace the remainder of the SD boxes with HD boxes. The cost savings will be immense as the lack of support alone for those boxes whether in the hardware, firmware, transmission...

    Hello jdspencer, most likely after Mid9Network starts. It will be the bridge between the Back9Network and the Front9Network! lol :grin:

    :) Hello tonyd79, I am old enough to remember Dino the big green Sinclair dinosaur. For those younger than us who do not remember him here is his image. :)
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hello weadjust, It sounds like the power supply is failing. If this is the case then sometime in the future it will not power up at all and nothing you will do will bring it back to life.

    Hello casinoman59, My suggestion is mayday . :slowgrin:

    Hello Brubear, People who have the PP Premier with the worst luck and or very expensive electronic equipment are the greatest beneficiaries of the plan. I am glad you had the plan. It is nice to have a protection plan and not need it rather than not have it and need it. :hurah:
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hello Stuart Sweet, Regarding your first reply to jsclarke (#2) your first sentence in the second paragraph is most intriguing. "It may seem like a tough thing to take now, but C31 and HR34 are the most important projects at DIRECTV." I think that the C31's are extremely important to DirecTV's...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hello 996911 and Datagg, My HR34 was installed in February 2012. I do not recall this particular problem occurring any time after the first 10 days of operation. Every piece of electronic equipment can have hardware an or software/firmware failures. A one time failure is almost impossible...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hello BLWedg09, I think that the reasoning behind the HR34 being manufactured by only 1 of the potential manufacturers was because it was a "Proof of Concept" model. It also had the C31 client to test out. If you look at the firmware list you will see 2 HR44 models (500 and 700). I think...

    Hello maartena, When can I start receiving the "watch paint dry" channel. I would even purchase a 3D TV to watch it if it was available in 3D. If not then in 1080p HD would be my second choice. My third choice would be 1080i HD. Nothing less for me! ;) :lol: :D !rolling
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hello Everyone, When I worked on a holiday I was paid my regular salary for the day, half time for the holiday and another day off in compensation for the holiday worked. Only the last few years that I worked Christmas day became a company wide workday. Prior to that only a super tiny...
  19. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hello BJB, I would start by checking a few things like the software/firmware and the cables connecting the DVR's. The current firmware for the HR24-100 is 05D2, HR24-200 is 05D3, HR-500 is 05D2 and the HR34-700 is 05D3. Check to see if the cables are tight and inspect the connectors on the...

    Hello twiseguy, After searching for the Concert on AMC on 12/12/12 and not finding it I did a search and found "The Concert for Sandy Relief" on IFC channel 559 starting at 7:30 PM and running for 4.5 hours ending at midnight. On AMC 12/12/12 at 7:30 PM through midnight the following programs...
