  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    $30 lazyness charge, what is that? I often keep debating if I should re-up and move to Genie from my normal HD-DVR's, or if I should ditch DTV and move to FiOS. Of course, I have lifetime DVR service with DTV, so I hate the idea of losing it if I jumped..
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Agreed that DECA is probably the way to go, but back when I was running it, that wasn't an option yet. I guess I will shortly call them up and see if I can squeeze an HR44 out of them for my main family room, as without a doubt the extra tuners would be very handy, and well if it's a lot...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It's been a good while, so not totally sure, but I had two HR receivers, one was hard wired at 100M, and the other was on the WGN adapter that used to be recommended long ago for wireless, on a rock solid 5ghz wireless, but still at times it would act like it wasn't able to see the other...
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Nope, don't have WHS currently as it just didn't work well for us, but maybe with Genie it will. I am OK with the $3, just didn't want to toss my lifetime DVR service away to move to Genie..
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Talking about the various fees in this thread, I would for the most part love to update to the HR44, as I am tried of my wife constantly *****ing about how god awful slow the DVR is on the TV. At this time I have an HR20, and an HR22 in the system. Also as we have been a DTV customer for what...
  6. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Agreed, it looks like HTC and the DTV apps don't get along, that is the 1280 rez is causing issues. I guess the bottom line is, it doesn't work for everything. At the moment I am running ICS 4.0.3 which I know it pretty common..
  7. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I can't speak for any others, but nope my phone is stock, no root or unlock of any kind done on the phone. Wonder if they are not compatible with ICS yet..
  8. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have the HTC Rezound on Verizon, and though I can go in and launch the app, I can't get it to play any video, it just says "Errror in Media Player". It will let me watch the trailers, they play perfectly, but if I select play on anything it's a no go. Not sure if the 1280 resolution of the...
  9. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Of course that begs the question, has anyone ever had anything happen for replacing the HD. I mean is there some formal listed penalty or something? I have been paying DTV since 98, and though I have not modded any of my DVR's with a larger drive since the early TiVo days, I doubt they are...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I don't have an HR34 yet, but seems enough people have run out and gotten one, I figured possibly by now I could get an opinion. I have some HR20-700's and some HR22-100 units running here in my home, and I must say that my wife drives me bonkers *****ing almost every day about how slow the...
  11. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    I can see what they are doing, and I suspect TiVo is getting $x per active receiver, but I must say when I first got a DVR it was a TiVo, and I went lifetime, and when DirecTV got the DirecTiVo (heck I still have it on the shelf, as it was an SD unit, and then I got the HD when it came out) I...

    HR22-100 Code 920 Received Report# 20110907-382D Now tonight I keep losing sound, but sent the above report right after I received the error code about the missing guide data..
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a 50meg connection at home, and actually a Gigabit connection at work, and I think the max speeds I have ever seen were in the 6-7meg range. So I am guessing they cap it somewhere in that range, as it seems to just flat top at that speed and stay there till the transfer is done. So as...
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    I agree, in the old days so to speak, MTV was great, then they decided that MTV no longer stood for music, but alas to the rescue came VH1 that played the music that MTV stopped playing. Well as they say, all good things much come to an end, and they got away from playing music as well...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Actually the receivers support messages, and at least with the old Dtivo's they used to always have some kinda message showing up. So really that would be a great way to do it. Also in answer to Doug, heck with email, if nothing else have a network status web page. If they can support 17...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yep, an ISP I used to own part of, also kept a running network status page which most thanked of for doing. Sure it takes a lil effort to put up such info, but I figure the customer goodwill made it worth it. Also speaking of Vonage, I use a provider for VoIP that is called LESnet, and they...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think the fact that it affected all different types of boxes shows pretty clearly it was a problem with their timesync. Note none of the D* boxes let you set the date/time, it takes sync from the sats, which should be damn accurate. Somehow for whatever reason (since nobody has gotten an...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My HR22-100 lost all guide data.. My HR20-700 seems to be fine.. I did a RBR as many have mentioned on my HR22, and it fixed the guide. I see nothing in my to-do listing at this time, but guessing that may take a few hours to get the data back in the DVR before the to-do list actually gets...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just to officially join this thread, and say YES I am part of the group having this issue too. I have one set hooked up using component for video, and TOSlink to my A/V processor for audio, from a HR20-700. I also have a second set, which is hooked up via an HDMI which of course carries the...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks VOS, a good and interesting thread indeed. At least I can tell wifey it's not all my stuff causing the issue.. Granted she dearly loves my Pioneer Elite TV and Martin Logan speakers.. LOL
