  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    How can I find out date of last firmware upgrade? Had a number of issues with freezing and pixulation last spring, had tech out, he did a few things was much better for a couple of months until the last couple of weeks now getting much worse again. Am wondering could these times when it's got...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Been having problems with my Genie DVR, have had prior serive call, still having issues with pixulation, been escalated up to a case manager, scheduled a second service call for this coming weekend. After talking with case manager, his opinion is good chance the issue is the processer and will...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hmmm.... So sounds like I may be best to just buy the HD TV, but not change anything with Direct. Eventually when the HR20 can handle OTA, then buy one. For now, I can still record anything in SD, watch HD live, just can't record it, which is a pain as we watch alot of taped stuff. I'm not...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have been subscribing to Direct TV for about 2 years now, have two TV hook up, both with model R10 DVR's I'm thinking about purchasing a HD large screen TV soon and am debating what would be my best choice for viewing. I see I can pay $10 a month to Direct TV for their content, but I live in...

    Does anyone know what channel number it's on DirectTV
  6. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well didn't get lucky that night and sugestions is turned off, so guess it was just updating.
  7. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I notice every morning about 6:30 am EDT the red light on my DVR is on, though I didn't program anything to record. Wondering what's going on? Is this some type of daily download of program guide or something else?
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah I saw that, was just surpirsed that it actually is working now as I'd been hearing about it was coming for months. Then it finally is here and no real announcment from Direct TV that it's now available. So it won't work on the R10? I guess I alwasy assumed it would wortk o nthe R10 as...

    So is the Active weather now working? How do I find it? Press the "active Button" on the remote it said?? Don't recall seeing the "Active Button"??
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Doesn't places like Value contract with local installers?? So if you know some of the installers that "Robert" (sorry I'm not on a first name basis with the owner) uses, I'd assume that they are people/companies specific to a certain location. For instance I live in Rochester NY, who would...

    I really don't understand either why even have Direct TV since he als ostated the rest of the programing is terrible? Did he only get Direct tV for Active Weather?
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm looking forward to the weather part. That was one thing I miss from cable, the locals on the 8's Maybe they could add a feature, when watching the weather Channel, every eight minutes would automaticlally switch to the Active Weather!
  13. Sports Programming and Events
    Time Warner signed a contract with ESPN for exclusive boradcast rights for six games in Central NY. I live in Rochester, which also carried the game on TW's WB, but it still was available here on ESPN. I know I read it wasn't on in the Syracuse area. The only people you could contact I...

    OK got it working. I had programmed it and re-programmed it so many times, I had no idea what state it was in. So tried in one more time and now it is working right. Thanks!
  15. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    OK, I programed in in, got the three dings, but when I hit the advance button while playing back recording, it still jumps ahead to end as opposed to 30 second skip. I'm assuming once I hear three dings all I need to do after that is press the advance button and it should work?
  16. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I wanted to add the 30 sec skip. I have the code listed below, but when/how do I add it? Do I have to have the TIVO playing back something I already recorded? Fast forwarding?? Is there some key I hit prior to put me into the "program mode"? Not sure how to add these types of shortcut...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't think you'll have any problem getting and having installed a triple lnb, but I doubt you'll get them to wire the other rooms without also buying and activiating receiviers. The contract says you must activate all equipment you buy within 30 days, or else they will bill you for it.
  18. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My wife asked me what TIVO stood for and I said wasn't sure if it was an abrreviation for anything or just a bit of a play on words? Does anyone know what it might stand for?
  19. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks that clears up the difference now
  20. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well I took care of those problems upfront. I figured I'd be really pissed if she had a TIVO upstairs and I didn't have one myself in the basement, so I bought two right away upfront. The installer mentioned I was the first person he's installed two units for. I was thinking to myself...
