  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Same here. A reboot fixes it temporarily but a week or two later it's out again. A couple of weeks after that it's back working. This happens on at least two of my HR 24's that are in my living room and family room and it is frustrating. Not sure if it happens on the others because they are...

    Up and running. I had no idea about legacy ports. Thanks for the info everyone.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks. I have the SWiM switch in the basement, four lines in from the dish. I also have an old 18" round dish so either way it looks like I can make it work. Do you know if it will pick up the NYC locals? I'm a little confused about the mpeg2/mpeg4 issues.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have an old owned R10 that's been deactivated for a couple of years. Wonering if it will work with my current setup and get NY City locals. I don't need it to be connected to Whole Home. Want it in the garage for an SD TV mostly for local channels. Current setup is Slimline with SWiM. Thanks.

    The caller ID on two of my HR-24s has always worked fine but the third receiver was having problems. Had to reset it almost daily to activate caller ID. I finally redownloaded the latest NR using the 0-2-4-6-8 method about two weeks ago and haven't had a problem since.

    Give it time and the credit will show. There is no point checking and rechecking your account online because it usually does not post until the bill for your next billing cycle is posted. The only time I order pay per view is when I get free offers, and it seems like I get a couple each year...

    I doubt this will sway you either way but I have FiOS for phone and internet. It is available for TV but I stayed with D* because I have always been happy with their service, and with my setup (5 HD DVR's) DirecTV is a better deal. We had a hell of a storm today, all up the east coast, with...

    I have three of them. Two have been great, the third one loses it's caller ID capability every few days and needs a reset to get it back. Other than that it has also been great.

    Slowww Downn

    I've never seen it on any receiver before and I've had various DVR's for years, but it was there.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Got the update on all three HR-24's. Two were fine but when I turned on the third one the screen showed "receiver in stand by mode. use power on button to turn on". It didn't respond to any remote buttons but a restart got everything working.

    Same here.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It took two reboots for the HR21 and three for the HR20 but both are working now.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks again to DBSTalk! I don't know how many hundreds of dollars I've saved over the years on promos that I found out about here (free DVR upgrades/swaps/etc.) but I just saved another $240.00 with a two minute phone call. Spoke to Jenny who didn't ask for anything but my account number...
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I just submitted the email as directed at 9:30AM (ET) and received a reply at 9:38AM that MRV has been activated but that they will not support it since it is networked based. Checked both the HR20 and HR21 and MRV is working on both. Eight minute turn around...not bad!

    HR20 has been loud since the previous national release. So far I have noticed no change with this release, it's still loud. All other receivers are quiet.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    They were calling me on a daily basis also. I asked them to please stop calling and to take me off their list and I haven't heard from them since.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    HR-21 seems fine but the HR20-700 hard drive is "working hard" like others have said. Hope something is done about that soon because the noise is really getting annoying.
  19. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I use DOD often when in my living room or family room where I have HD. My basement and bedroom have SD TV's and R15's and I do find it frustrating when out of habit I attempt to go to DOD and can't.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Since I need a receiver on each TV it might as well be a DVR. It's $5.00 per receiver regardless so why not get the features of a DVR on each one. The two year agreements were not an issue for me.
