    OK, thank you for the replies. "Thwarted at the moat" if only using the HDDVR...

    We're just getting into the stream-to-my-devices part of things. Hooked up our HR24-100 and HR20-100 via regular ol' ethernet cables to the wireless router. The iPad sees both units and all seems well. I see where it allows to stream allowed content and live TV. Except for one thing, how...

    Evidently, the man, the legend, they rerun the most, Chuck Norris was not invited to the bargaining table. For if he had been in attendance, 5 minutes is all he would have needed to make both sides reach an agreement.

    Excellent! Thank you!

    With the looming threat (that will probably be solved within a week or two) of WGNTV not being carried on DirecTV any longer, I'm reviewing our options out there now if indeed WGN is not coming back anytime soon. I've googled but not found a decent comparison chart, an apples-to-apples view of...

    We will be moving to another provider if WGN is dropped for more than a few days beyond the deadline date. As a sub since '98 we will miss the logical layout of channels and decent customer service but if they don't offer a channel we like to watch, why have the service? One thing we won't...

    Received 57B this afternoon while HR22-100 was in use. I thought all updates were overnight? Well, the issue is only a partial show recorded. Wife put a 1hr show on at 3pm, at 3:40 clicked R to record it (just in case, old habit), channel never changed. Show only started recording at 3:40pm...

    Good for D* sticking to it's guns, and thus the customer. The only thing I consume from Oprah's empire is Dr Laura Berman. I enjoy listening to her show on XM, just wish she'd break away from the O and go on her own with podcasts, etc. However, seems like O is giving her and giving her time...

    for those who don't know, DirecTV saw a sudden spike in new subs back in '08 when the Lakeland, FL revival was happening. Many people do continue to watch it as it was the sole reason they joined the D* family. I appreciate that this programming is on the air as there are many great things on...

    In order for me to tune in, they need more scantily dressed women. They could call it EXXXPN ;)

    I have to agree. When anything is shown on Fox sports national I cringe cuz they rarely use 1080 to broadcast games. It's almost always 720. ick. NBC's Sunday Night Football, conversely, shows a crystal clear 1080 picture. The difference between the two is quite noticeable.

    I'm not so sure of the WCIU thing, at least down here. We rarely don't have the home-team Cubs announcers/broadcast for Cubs games here in TN. Sure, when national coverage has the game (ESPN/Fox national), we don't hear Len & Bob, but otherwise, we do. Save for only when the Cubs play the...

    Yes, thank you DirecTV! I watch Tom Skilling's weather to see the trending maps. I find that to be quite accurate for our weather down here. In HD, wow! And the sound level is normal. Don't have to adjust the volume downward every time we switch to 307.

    had the same problem. had to hard reboot it.
  15. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    We have two old DVRs: DirectTV Tivo unit SD-DVR80 R15-500 Since these were purchased and not leased, I assume they are ours. Do we just dispose of them like any other old computer equipment?

    worth quoting this from page #1 again. It's worth it. And Travel Channel HD. Now all those beach-laden specials will look so much better. Finally.

    you are not the only one to notice the picture quality of WGN is on par with silent films from early in the 1900's mixed with a light fog coming off lake Michigan while cataracts is attacking one's eyes. It's awful. Makes Lake Erie look super clear. Many of us are hoping an HD feed will be...

    Rush's CD release in 2007 "Snakes and Arrows" is in 5.1 (but you have to snag the 5.1-specific disc). The long instrumental, "Main Monkey Business", takes on a different life in 5.1 Sounds great!!!

    Agree. this is pathetic. Two thumbs-down to DirecTV for this being 2010 and can't even make a SD look palatable. Bleecccch.

    We have two HR22-100 and one HR20-700. We like the HR20-700 MUCH better than the HR22 models. It doesn't suffer from the slow menus like the HR22's do. Like others have mentioned, if you want more storage space, just upgrade the drive.
