  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I can understand these explanations, but for someone like myself who is down to 13 series links, has almost 80% free space, never has more than 1 program recording at a time, doesn't use VOD, doesn't use PIP, and has only 1 MRV stream going from time to time; what can you really say... While...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That might be the case, but the HR34 wasn't always this slow. I got one about 2 1/2 years ago and it had a lot more series links, and shows saved on it at that time. It was never lightning quick, but certainly a night and day difference to the performance of nowadays (the current 34 has 75%...

    Edit
  4. General DISH™ Discussion
    I would tend to agree that the low-level hardware is largely irrelevent in the case of a merger. I've always wondered what Dish could do with a D* box from a software standpoint though. I don't really think the fault lies with the hardware manufacturers (in the case of D*'s receivers) but is...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'd agree that the '34 is a touch slower than the '24, and have also seen it slow down during what I'm guessing were "other operations." Can't say I've had the other issues, but I don't use RVU clients. When used as a client, the HR34 doesn't always handle FF that well. I'll often find that...

    Thanks for the link. All good here.
  7. TV Show Talk
    Just finished it. This looks to be a good one :)
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm quite certain you're not getting an HR44.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yep. At this stage I'm disapointed to still see threads on this topic around here. I don't really think it's important to quantify the "slowness" of a receiver/client any longer. I've used a Dish receiver, and I think if one were to put the two brands side by side "slow" would be understood...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Finally got a chance to see an HR34 w/ clients in person. And I thought HR22 to HR22 MRV was slow :lol: All joking aside, it's not an implementation I could see using in its current state. This word gets used a lot, but maybe the HR44 w/ client will work better.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    :righton: Building a custom home and skimping on coax runs is just silly.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm 0-50, but only because I have two additional DVR's. I would like > 100, but I don't have enough confidence that this wouldn't impact the software in a negative manner.
  13. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Yep, but in the spirit of the thread the OP wants "everything" to be USB :D
  14. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I'm looking for a large diesel generator with USB output to power the setup :lol:
  15. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    There's these :D
  16. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    USB is only 5 volts DC, so its usage is going to be limited. Somewhere someone is working on the next home air conditioning unit powered by USB though :lol:
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That issue is not limited to the To Do list. It happens in any means used to cancel a future recording; guide, smart search, ToDo, etc.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'd categorize myself as middle-of-the-road on the love/hate scale :lol: I'm sure the OP will chime in after experiencing the HR34, but it tends to be plagued by the same "slow down" problem on occasion. Its speed is not as bad as an HR22 (I still have one to know), but is not as fast as an...
  19. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Why they installed the WB68, I can only speculate... Should you receive pushback on installing the second SWM16 ask to see the original workorder. The two SWM16's should be listed on that document for the amount of tuners you have. This might be an indication (to them) that you know what...
  20. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Agreed; you should really vie for that Head Trainer position. I think your phone would be ringing non-stop :lol:
