  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I have turned to ITUNES as a way to see Doctor Who in HD. That is $3 a show - ugh. I too am VERY disappointed DirecTv hasn't picked up BBC America in HD.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am just outside of Atlanta, Ga. I have been getting 95-96 on all transponders except for 19 that is 87. I have had these values since D12 started sending a signal usable on my three DVR's. :D
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I use a Tivo Series 3 for OTA recording. It records the wife's soap opera rain or shine !!
  4. TV Show Talk
    Me Too. We never miss a new Mac and PC ad.
  5. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    When WGCL in Atlanta Georgia switches from Local to Network programming, the sound and picture breaks up for 10 to 30 seconds. There are sometimes minor loss of audio during a network program from 1/8 to 1/4 seconds at random intervals. I am now recording most of my CBS programs OTA. The OTA...
  6. HD Locals
    At least two weeks. I have had audio drop outs on Network programs from WGCL-TV Atlanta 46 on DirecTv.
  7. Local Reception
    They normally don't pass the signals in the same format as OTA that you would pick up with an antenna. They are "re encoded" in QAM format. If your parents tv supports QAM - check manual - then you might be able to receive the basic programming on their cable system. Most cable systems do NOT...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR22 and HR20-100 locked up while recording the Soap the Young and the Restless. The recording did not stop at 1 hour but continued for an additional 2 and 1/2 hours until I rebooted both DVR's - when I came home and discovered the problem.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I noticed the low volume last season as well.
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    What you are seeing is normal. It would require 3 internal tuners to view a live program while recording 2 others.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I now have the blank recording bug. Three shows missed so far. My Hr20-700 was 100% before this update !!!!
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have reported the issue to DTV Tech Support. I hope if there are enough calls, they will take this problem seriously.
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I am enjoying my HR20 but it is not as reliable as my Tivo Series 3. I use the QAM tuner and Basic cable to record my local Atlanta Stations more often than the HR20. WSB-DT on DirecTv has been very bad this last week! Also, watching a recording while recording two other channels has caused...

    I just noticed josejrp's post saying he sees the problem on the OTA transmission. It is reasonable to assume small errors in the OTA transmission will translate to Large errors in the Mpeg4 re-encoding. Not sure what Comcast is doing to avoid the problem.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just watched a segment of Harry Potter. DirecTV channel 2 HD has audio studder and dropped frames. Comcast Channel 2 (98.3 QAM) shows none of these issues. I am guessing there is an issue with the Mpeg4 encoding of WSB's signal by DirecTv.
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm getting the 771 on select SD channels. Looking at my signal strength, I am getting 0 for transponders 6,8,14,16,22,24,30,32 Basically columns 6 and 8 are all 0's all the way down(using the HR20). 5:50 EST March 25th
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I saw the problem on my HR20-700. I have seen the Green Blobs on several of my recording from channel 11. I have a TIVO and recorded Medium from Comcast QAM. There where no issues in the recording from Comcast.
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    Yes, I am guessing the addition of the RTN - 2.2 network is contributing to the problem.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I also have Comcast Basic cable. The sound is ok on Comcast. It is DirecTV's problem!
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    I AM seeing the same problems on Comcast at the same time it appears on DirecTv. I am in Acworth Georgia.
