    Seriously, why don’t they just add the option in the settings?!? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've been seeing issues in the last week with recordings not completing or being messed up. For example Survivor last week only recorded for 11 minutes. Friend at work had the same problem, recorded exactly 11 minutes and no more. I have a separate receiver at a second (weekend/cabin) home a...

    'back on programming'?? What does this mean? I had enough with the crappy performance of the HR34 and finally bit the bullet and "purchased" a leased HR54. Got it set up yesterday (awesome responsiveness!) but now a day later I still can't set up my recordings due to missing guide information...

    Its frustrating (and confusing) to me that when I log in to the DTV website I see notifications of available upgrades and its a marketing feature for the Home Protection plan (free upgrade every 2 years) yet I'm unable to upgrade my HR34 to an HR44!?! Can someone explain how DTV positions this...

    I've been seeing sporadic issues with huge delays and general remote unresponsiveness. After trying new batteries and even getting a new remote, I recalled similar issues with my HR24 that turned out to be related to some Boolean based recordings I had set up. At the time I moved those to my...

    I just ran the sat setup and it went through without showing that screen at all? Shouldn't it have displayed a successful list with check marks? In any event. I guess it seems ok. So what's the explanation? Its overcast right now and signal is fine. I guess nothing to worry about but I'm curious...

    Will do. Working nights will post Friday. I recall looking at signal strength and they were good but didn't check different satellites.

    Apparently I have a slimline 5 dish installed in conjunction with a swm8 switch. Recently one of two hr24 receivers took a dump and in hooking up the replacement receiver I took a look at the sat setup on the existing receiver and noticed its in an error state. Everything has been working fine...

    Thanks for all the replies and info. Turns out the one cable running from the detached garage with the dish on it was bad. Had to pull a new cable but finally was able to watch some football. Wow, amazing we put up with SD quality. But I can get by for a week. Thanks again everyone!
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I just moved in to a new house. I had to cancel the install at the new place due to closing delays and now can't get installed for a week out. I had already bought a new dish and SWM8 in preparation, but can't do the dish install myself. Previous owner had what appears is a Phase III dish, and I...
  13. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    My current dish is SWM. The main difference that I'm looking at is whether I can have a single output from the dish feed directly to a receiver because with my current setup I spit 1 output inside the home and feed 2 HR24s. In the new place there is a bunkhouse that might get occasional use...

    It's a second home using receivers from my primary residence so DTV won't move for free.
  15. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Spent a fair amount of time doing research and just want to confirm my findings. Currently I have an SL-5 dish and the place we're moving to appears to have a Phase III dish. It looks like the dish would work, but I'll lose a ton of HD programming if I don't switch it out. If I need to switch...

    Just a final confirmation. On another HR24 that was acting up I deleted the 7 autorecord searches that I had. The demons have been exorcised! I would think a brief summary and url link to this thread sent to DirecTV support (http://support.directv.com/app/ask) would be worth a shot. I had...

    This makes sense. Following this thread I finally got one of my HR24-500 work as it should after doing the reset everything. Not pleasant to lose all recording and settings but worth the reward. So I was holding off resetting the other one acting up. They both have Boolean autorecord searches...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Should the HR24-500 lag issues be called in? I have 3 of them and reading others with the issue it leaves me wondering why we accept this receiver performance and talk about it here rather than call in a complaint? I'm just as guilty, and I imagine its because we all know its not defective...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes, OMG! Performance is suddenly horrible. Almost unbearable how it take 30 seconds to pull up the guide or recordings. How is it possible this makes it through there QA process? They clearly must not have one. So frustrating I feel like throwing the receivers out the window. And I have 4...
