    woke up this morning and my DVR was on a blue screen saying the hard drive was being scanned for errors and it could take a few hours.... I am at work now so have no idea about the status, but if the hard drive is jacked, can I just pop in a new hard drive? Is the DVR firmware smart enough to...

    if it is in fact a router you placed in there, then you created a brand new network within your network. The hardware in the second network can't see any of the hardware in the first network. What you should do is return the router and buy a switch.

    you can use a wrt56g as a wireless bridge, but not with the linksys firmware you have to install new firmware. In fact I just did it this weekend to hookup my HR20, HD DVD and bluray player to my wireless network. This site has the firmware. You have to be carefull because the wrt54g has...

    I have never seen this before but it happened. I have HR20-700 with x145. We turned the TV and HR20 on and there was no video or sound, just snow. It was like I disconnected the rabit ears! I turned the HR20 "off" and back on again (standby I guess it's called) and it was fine after that...

    Does the HR20 work fine with only 1 cable? I know it would only use 1 tuner, but are there any freaky software bugs that make it not work with only 1 tuner connected? I want to get one for my bedroom but I only have 1 cable in there (at the moment...) Thanks!
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Has anyone managed to get a deal on a second HR20 or do you basically just have to get it at full price?
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have Vonage and my HR20 works fine with it.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    1 - These are version numbers of the software the HR20 runs. These numbers are hi HEX 2 - ota - Over The Air 3 - mpeg-4 is an encoding standard the new HD channels use. The older channels are all mpeg-2. mpeg-4 allows for the same quality while using less data. So you can put more channels...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    well reboot fixed it. I have all channels again. What a quality product! :)
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
