  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Unless there has been a change that I am not aware of with the non-dvr receivers, the one thing that can not be done on a non-dvr receiver is pausing live tv. To me, pausing, rewinding, and fast-forwarding was the deciding factor of going dvr over the non-dvr. This is my 2cents. :-)

    I would recommend that you check your VZ bill first. Normally with any offers from Verizon require the phone to be activated and the blackberry requires a mandatory data fee in addition to the voice fee. If you are not being charged for the blackberry on your VZ account, you will want to...
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    For what it is worth, when I went to Best Buy in California during the fall of 2010, their tv wall was connected via a 75 ohm coax cable to all tv's. None of the sales people where able to answer my question on how the HD signal for their internal HD demo was distributed. Walmart uses a...

    Depending on where you are located in Southern Utah, there still is a chance to get your problem solved. I read a few months ago on this site that certain "fringe" areas might be losing their HD locals. HD LiL being removed in parts of some DMAs. (post date...

    Is there a way to change the screen saver colors? My “pong” is on a black background with a blue logo. :)
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This sounds very similar to a setup I am currently running: HR22 connected via HDMI to HD47vizio. The RCA (yellow red white) output from the HR22 goes to a Sony VCR. From the channel 4 coax output from the VCR, I have this feeding to 6 SD TV’s throughout the house with a single coax cable...

    From different conversations I have had over the years with dtv, the quick answer is “not anytime soon”. Interestingly enough, several csr’s have said it has to do with certain zip codes and the counties that they are in for the approval for HD Locals. They explained to me that it was not a...

    I know there are size differences with the HR24-xxx and the AM21. does anyone have a picture that they could share so I could see what a HR24-xxx would look like with a AM21. Thanks for your time
  10. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My Sony Sat-T60 from 2001 is on its last legs. It is shuttering and lagging pretty bad and also occasionally restarts itself. Manual restarts and restores also do not seem to help. I am pretty sure it is the hard drive, unless someone else has an idea. At some point, I will break down and...

  12. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a Sony A4 (SD, single tuner, non-dvr, no apg) I use in a back bedroom on occasion. Also have a HR22, R22, and HR10-250 that are used a majority of the time. I know it is only $5/month to keep the Sony A4 active, but is there any advantage to keeping it around? It no longer gets NFL...

    Too funny Jeremy W. I had one of those Creative Nomads back in the day. Even dropped in a larger hardrive and loved it. It was a little slow, but did the job!
  14. Sirius XM General Discussion
    Regrettably, the programming is done by radio ID and not account. I have one radio with a lifetime subscription with both XM+best of Sirius (great for NFL) and the other has just has the normal xm subscription. You might want to call CS and enquire about a lifetime plan that includes...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am in a fringe area of Nevada (89801). I do not get any of my “locals” in HD. I am able to get CBS (ch 2 slc dma) and FOX (ch13 slc dma) on my direct but only in SD. HD is currently “unavailable at this time” when I call cs. I do not qualify for HD DNS because SD is available, but even...

    NFL Sunday Ticket "to go" - week 4 I am still experiencing problems with my "to go". I had "superfan" last year and did not have these issues. According to directv, under video settings, my connection speed is 34.29Mbps. If I select "high (>=1.4 Mbps)" the video stream is in clear/sharp HD...

    It was absolutely terrible for me on both my backberry as well as my laptop. My blackberry on wifi and 3G was very blurry, and my laptop was very choppy. Both were unwatchable. Several times on the laptop it would not even load the channel. I had “superfan” last year and did not experience...
