  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Oh, he also said it is definitely not my setup or the receiver. So, this seems to point to firmware issue with their receivers. I have a wired setup, BTW
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've been having the same issues for about a month. I called tech support this past weekend. The CSR said there is a known issue and the engineering department was working on a resolution. He asked me a lot of questions about my setup, then got me to do some type of system dump by typing a...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hmmm.... Now I'm wondering if it is some of the settings on my TV. I purchased a new Sony XBR LED TV a couple months back. It has "Motionflow, Reality Creation, Smooth gradation, and Cinemotion" settings. I disabled all of them and it seems to be much better. Guess I need to do some...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I did a search and couldn't find a topic on this issue. Has anyone noticed TBS being "jerky" lately? I'm watching Seinfeld and it is very noticable. At first I thought it might by my receiver (HR44), but TBS is the only channel that I have noticed this occurring. It's been doing it for a few...

    Let me add some fuel to the fire. My experience leads me to believe that DirecTV CAN specifiy which model you receive. Here's my story: After receiving the win back promotions, I decided to come back to DirecTV after leaving for a couple months. When talking with the CSR on the phone I told...
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I believe the Genie and two clients will be sufficient. My wife and I watch and record TV the most. My son is a college student, so he is only home part-time. I honestly don't think the number of tuners will be an issue. My main concern is the speed/performance of the system. Is it slow or...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    We have 3 TVs. 3 people in the house. Each records shows, so, more tuners would be nice. Will they give you DVRs in place of the clients with no additional charge? We previously had two HR2x DVRs and one HD receiver. That was plenty for all the recordings we needed.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm unhappy with my switch to cable TV. Fortunately I do not have any contract commitment, so I am reconsidering DirecTV and also possibly Dish. Three months ago, I left DirecTV due to painfully slow HD DVRs. DirecTV refused to upgrade my old HD-DVRs without expensive upgrade fees, even...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    As I said in my original post, both the HD DVRs are so slow it is painful. It's almost impossible to FF or REW watching recorded shows because it is so slow responding to remote commands. Even locally recorded, not over the network which is plenty fast (all 1GB ethernet connection). I press...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I apologize for the long post. I haven't been around in awhile, so I'm a little behind the technology curve. I've been with DirecTV for 10+ years, and my current contract is up. I like their service overall, but I'm totally fed up with the SLOW receivers I currently have. I've tried all the...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I seen that my region is not scheduled to get the new HD guide until Jan 17th. Since my HR20 and HR21 is SO slow responding to guide commands, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I forced the download yesterday morning at 5 am. It was an easy and painless process. I really like the...
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I feel that I should post my findings so that it doesn't appear that I only complain about issues I have. I borrowed a Fluke network cable tester from work to test all my cables. I "constructed" all my network cables used in my home network. I felt that was the first thing to check out...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I've been having a lot of problems with the stuttering video also. I can usually remedy it by power cycling the DVR's and router. Mine is a non-DECA setup, BTW. It now seems it may be affecting performance of other connections to the network. I experienced the same type of video/data loss...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This issue is beginning to become unbearable on both my HR21 and HR20. I'm getting up to 13 second delays between a remote command being sent until the receiver will repond. If it is a channel change add another 3-5 seconds on that. Sometimes you can just forget about trying to skip forward...
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    I called D* CSR and got more info. The reason I was confused was because I was getting Error 721, not subscribed message. Typically, I get the blackout message for games. This was confusing because I was getting the "not subscribed" message. After talking with the CSR, she said that it is...

    I have the Sports Pack, so I get (I thought) all the RSN. But, when I try to go to the Fox Sports Rocky Mountain channel to watch a Rockies game it tells me that I have not purchased this channel. What gives? What determines which RSN I receive and which ones I do not if I have the Sports...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Actually, I believe D* has a call center here in Huntsville, AL. That would explain the "southern drawl" you may hear. :)
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    You must have a really special HR21 or HR23, because I have to "watch" menus in order to watch TV. :rolleyes: :p Sarcasm back at 'ya. And yes, I do sometimes have 5-6 second delays on my HR21. Entering channel numbers are a major pain! Often I also have to enter channel numbers multiple times...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    No disrespect Hasan, but I have to disagree with you. I think it is unacceptable when you press the guide button and 5-6 seconds later it pops up. Same for the recording list. I just wish I could swap mine out without having to pay for the "upgrade". I'd highly recommend you only get the...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have had this issue for some time (both live and recorded shows). I have an Onkyo AVR using optical input. I played back a recording, with DD turned on. I would get an audio dropout for 2-3 seconds at a specific point in the recording EVERYTIME. I turned off DD, replayed recording...
