    I want to record a football game that the YTTV live guide says will run from 1PM to 4 PM. However, given that many games run long and don't end when the guide says they will, I want to extend the end time by 1 hour to 5 PM. This is easy to do with DirecTV, but I can't find a way to do this with...
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    I am currently a DirecTV subscriber, and have been for a long time, but I’m considering a DISH portable satellite antenna, and Wally receiver specifically for tailgating. I have a few questions. I would want to activate my service in mid-August every year and deactivate in late November or...

    I have three HR24's. Sunday morning I awoke to find that the channel logos had disappeared on all three. It's most noticeable on the QuickTune screen (see below). I've rebooted all three HR24's multiple times, but no joy. Any ideas?

    I have 3 HR24's that I purchased from Solid Signal 8 years ago, and they replaced 3 HR20's that I was leasing from DirecTV. Does this mean I own the HR24's, or is there something else I need to check? Thanks.

    I currently have 3 HR24's, and I would like to replace one of them with an HR54. At this time I'm not interested in 4K, nor am I interested in a mini client. This would simply be a HR24 to HR54 upgrade. Will AT&T allow this? If I buy the HR54 from SolidSignal, will I have any issues getting...

    I've been out of the DirecTV upgrade loop for awhile, and to say things have changed since I last purchased my 3 HR24s several years ago would be an understatement. I also apologize in advance for asking a question that may have been asked and answered multiple times, but I've not been able to...

    Does D* expect me to sign and return the DirecTV Equipment Lease Addendum that's in the box with the HR24-500 that I got from an online store? Mike

    I have 5 LNB dish feeding a SWM-8 with HR20-100 and HR20-700 connected to the SWM-8. Signal strength on all transponders on 99(c) and 103(c) for tuner 2 on the HR20-100 is all 0's. Signal strength for other sats for tuner 2 on the HR20-100 is OK. For tuner 1 on the HR20-100 and both tuners on...

    I have an HR20-100 and a HR20-700 connected to an SWM8 which is connected to a 5LNB slimline dish. We apparently had a power flicker during the night because when I woke up, clocks were blinking and both HR20's had rebooted. HR20-700 was fine, but got "Searching for signal" error on the...

    If one is looking to upgrade old DirecTV receivers, is there a way to be guaranteed of receiving ATSC OTA capable equipment whether the receivers are SD or HD, DVR's or not? My mom has two very old receivers and older TV's that are NTSC-only. She also lives in an area where DirecTV does not...

    I currently have two HR20's which I got from DirecTV. I also have the protection plan. If I buy another HR20, say from Solidsignal.com, will it automatically be covered under the protection plan too? Mike

    Hey guys. Great forum with lots of great info. I recently replaced my HR10-250 with a HR20-100 and I'm glad that I did. The HR10-250 interface was sooo slooowww, I never used it as a "regular" receiver, using it only to record really special stuff. Hence I never got addicted to those TIVO...
