    Could be - I don't have any 'inside' information... But... People have had caller ID issues since the beginning. Not sure why that would suddenly change but anything is possible! If they wanted it to work you'd think they would have fixed it during the development of the HR44 but the HR44...

    I'm not sure DirecTV is working on a fix. I've since just disconnected the phone lines. You just never know what you're going to get with caller ID. I had 3 HR24-500s one just worked, one worked sometimes and one never worked. The trouble followed the receiver when I moved them around. It...

    Damn it Rich - why did you have to go there?! Sadly I do expect it.... I just hope it isn't 'soon'!

    Well of course you do!

    I haven't been around for a while.... The HR44 pretty much shut me up. The sad thing is that I think even the C31 clients I have are faster than my HR24-500s now. I rarely touch anything than the HR44 which (fingers crossed) continues to speed through anything and everything. I've checked...

    Rich - I think you'll be happy with an HR44 but honestly by far the biggest thing to me and the reason I like using it so much is because so far the remote response is immediate and it is so much faster than my HR24s. I don't think you really care about those two things so you may very well be...

    Rich - I think you already know how I feel. The speed is great. I don't even mind the remote although if it had a back-light it would be much better! As far as MRV goes - Just as Runner said - no reboots of anything needed when mine was installed. Just plugged it in, updated the firmware and...

    You're better off talking to the installer - hopefully they'll call before they come out. The CSRs can't influence if you'll get a 34 or 44. They may as well promise you that you have rich uncle that died and left you 100 million... It's on the way! Unless you just can't stand the wait I...

    Yep - he would need to do a new LNB and at least 1 DECA Adapeter depending on what he does with the receivers....

    Good point!

    Dolby Digital is not the HD Audio that you would want from Blu-Ray. The advanced formats like DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD or even LPCM (lossless compression) are not allowed unless the entire audio path is 'Protected'. That basically means HDMI and/or analog connections. Even if that...

    Agree'd the clients do have some lag and they'll take away a tuner from the Genie when in use and your current DVRs won't. The only benefit the clients have is that you have complete control over the Genie from the client location. If you do the Genie upgrade - hope for the HR44 rather than...

    I don't believe that is the case? There should be no problem mixing DECA with Ethernet as long as the Ethernet network and the DECA network are connected together using a DECA adapter. In my testing - trying to speed up my receivers - for a bit I had 2 HR24s on DECA and 1 on Ethernet without...

    I'd also add that if you get and HR34 with C31 clients they may not come with RF capable remotes. If you get C31s the remote will be the old style and could be RF/IR or just simply IR. I'd just make sure you have what you need before the installer leaves. And hopefully you'll get the HR44...

    Like this one... http://www.amazon.com/Directv-H25-Component-Video-Cable/dp/B006R9O2PC

    Yes - there is a cable that plugs into the DIN connector and outputs Component and analog R and L audio all on RCA jacks.

    Bite your tongue! You have too many HRs to be able to put HR44s to use! Someday when DirecTV allows us normal folks to have multiple HR44s I'll replace another HR24 with one just because of the speed increase. Unless you have just cursed me that is!
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That's great. I also noticed that when I removed the 43 series recordings I had set on one of my HR24s that the speed of the HR24 increased. It was painful deleting the 43 SLs because of the 'Please wait...' after each delete but it does run better when it has nothing to do!
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Find someone that would rather have the speed of the HR34 over the speed of the HR44 then we'll talk. And once again - You don't need to keep repeating yourself. We get it. Speed is not important to you. Would you like me to send you a notarized statement that I understand speed is not your...

    Well said - thank you.
