  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I been kind of watching for news on their IPTV thing, kind of interested if they would actually try to improve picture quality. But if its no better than Uverse they can keep it. Frontier which purchased a lot of Verizon older mess also got some of the FIOS areas. Frontier copied the Uverse...

    This be kind of a reoccurring thing with DTV regarding wireless vs wired. You should try telling a CSR when playing the order that you don't won't wireless but do want the HS17. That was basically a melt down and impossible too do. So I just said 3 C61k and let it go. Of course it didn't show 4k...

    So, I purchased a splitter that has Edid presets and tried it and that worked. Just set it splitter Edid at 1080P or 4k and the receiver will up scale 1080i or 720P. I later talked to Denon and surprised someone actually called on the phone. In the end they said it was the C61K Edid not putting...

    Yes, I could try that and I assume the picture would be the wrong size if the 4k display couldn't scale it up. But like I mention earlier I tried the C61k directly into the Xbox and it handled it OK and put out the regular 4k to display. But I haven't tried yet to change the output of the xbox...

    Yes, probably so. If I just turn channels sometimes there is quite a delay while the projector is searching for signal. I think the client box has some issues, just my opinion. That is one reason I wanted to output 4k from the Denon, should make that more stable. It might still take awhile for...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes, thanks for the help and I tried that. From what I can tell its just something about the C61k that keeps the receiver from scaling the resolution up. Not suppose to happen but it is. I saw a few posts around in different places having some problems with Denon receivers but nothing like this...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Again my posts are encrypted so lets try it this way. 1 - I want to scale the 1080i/720p C61k to 4k using my Denon receiver 2 - The Denon will scale any input resolution to 4k if one wants it, but it will not scale this one 3 - Native is off, I had directv for 20 years before trying it again...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I guess my posts must encrypted because I think I made it clear in what I was asking and also I know how it all works. So again, I know it will not output 4k all the time, which it should if wanted but the design is not too. But my receiver will scale anything to 4k which is what I want. Yet it...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes, I guess I've tried about everything and I probably anything else is out of my control. I asked Denon about it and will see if they answer the email. Its a Front Projector by optoma, their laser 4k model. It does a OK job of up scaling, but I rather the Denon do it for other reasons. Plus...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So, what happens if you input the 1080i signal to the Sony receiver and let it up convert it to 4k output? Will it then actually send 4k out to the display? I'm not talking about their 4k channels just the regular stuff. Just wondering if whatever is locking the Denon down is only doing it to...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I had quoted jimmie57 but it didn't show up. Thanks for the other replies but again, not interested in which is best at what. Which maybe the display is usually the best but this is a Optima laser projector, so maybe it is or maybe it isn't. It isn't for the Spectrum DVR menu though. I use to...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Maybe I wasn't completely clear on what I'm talking about. Actual 4k works fine but I wanted to up convert the 1080i to 4k through the Denon. Which is a normal thing to do if wanted. It will up convert everything to 4k of course but it won't this C61k client. Which one does it the best, the PJ...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Decided to post this wondering if anyone has tried going through a receiver and letting it output 4k to display using a C61k. On my HS17 server using the C61k it refuses to scale it up even when telling it too. Denon x3400 is the receiver. First time I've ever run into that before. The little...

    Grimm & Hannibal on DirecTV local channel had constant audio dropouts. Display in receiver going and forth from analog to digital. These shows come on back to back. So, I see some others complaining about NBC and that means its not a local issue. Both of the shows were unwatchable and I hope...

    Hr44-500 I see quick breakups and glitches quite often watching recordings. This report was send while watching a local Fox channel. It happens quite often but I don't see it on the HR24's. It appears to happen on any channel. Report - 20131001-2624 Software 0x741

    I got a HR44-500 a few weeks ago. There was 4 shows being recorded last Sunday night at 10PM. Everything worked except The Newsroom on HBO. It did what sounds like is being described in this thread. About 10 minutes into the show it started breaking up bad and basically froze the DVR. No way...

    I haven't had much luck using smart search for far in advanced shows. I had two for this month and it just has the show listed to be recorded at 12am on the day it starts, along with the network. I can only see that by going to series manager and view upcoming. So I remember those two ahead of...

    If someone is going to the trouble of measuring voltage coming out of a power supply trying to figure out if its bad. They might as well go ahead and do component level repair instead of searching ebay for a used one. Much cheaper and might actually learn something doing it that way, if they...
