  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks all. I'll give those a try.
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm watching channel 229 and am having constant 1-2 second audio dropouts. I've noticed it's happened on channel 202 as well. The unit is connected to an AVR via hdmi then hdmi to tv. I've reset the HR54 but no fix. Super annoying. Any ideas?

    Would the hr24 connect to the genie and share recordings?
  4. DIRECTV Connected Home
    TV is probably 3-4 years old. It's also occurring on a TV that's a good 12 years old of not more.
  5. DIRECTV Connected Home
    That's too bad. It's super annoying. Wonder if I can swap out the genie client and go back to a dvr and use whole home to share recordings.
  6. DIRECTV Connected Home
    We had a genie dvr and 2 genie minis (wired) installed today. Every time I turn on the tv for either of the mini clients It says connecting on the tv for a few seconds and then the tv finally comes on. Is it normal for it to say connecting for the clients each time you turn on the television?

    We have 2 dvr's that are crap and unreliable. Yes they are older and do continually require restarts. During the Cubs WS I had to tape it on both machines hoping one would work. Why do I not contact DIRECTV and replace them? These are already replacements of replacements over the 16 years we...

    Ok thanks Peds.

    We're replacing old dvrs with genie dvr and 2 genie minis. Will the installer be able to use our current coax cable. Think they're rg59. If not do they need to replace all cable throughout the home or just the cable that comes out of wall to my equipment. Thx.
  10. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Jodean - did you not read my entire post? That's exactly what I did. I selected the exact model I wanted from solid signal. So we're not all wrong in this thread.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    We recently wanted to get an HR-24 as we were replacing a receiver. Dtv could not guarantee the replacement model as described above. We found that out the hard way. When we originally called Dtv they did promise us an HR-24. However, after hanging up we didn't get a good feeling about the...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks all. Figured it out. Just needed to change the set up under menu since it was set up to use both tuners for a previous tv. Just need tuner 1 this time around. Don't care right now about taping one show and watching another in the bedroom. Just wanted all of my channels. Yes, we will be...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi- I moved a HD TV and HD DVR to the bedroom where we previously had a SD set up. Problem is we only have one satellite input coming out of the wall instead of 2. So I can only hook up satellite 1 on the back of the box. This means I can't get all channels including the locals. Is there anyway...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Ok - thanks. BTW, cute dog!
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks, guys! Clearly the guy didn't know what he was talking about. He even said he gets a bunch of calls and knows the equipment is on the site but he just deals with antennaes so I don't know who they had answering the phone yesterday? :nono2: At any rate, I've definitely seen these on Amazon...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I went to solidsignal.com and found the hr-24 receiver. Called them up and the guy said they don't sell that. They sell antenna's even though the equipment is listed on their website. Is there anywhere I can buy a new receiver without going thru DTV? DTV told me yesterday they'd send a "new" one...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I may need to update my signature. I do have a old sd tivo in the bedroom. I have a HR-20/700 in great room and a HR-23/700 in the home theater room.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    We bought a new plasma so the tv merry-go-round has started. Bottom line we're moving a HD tv into our bedroom where we previously had a sd receiver. Do I call directv to get a hd receiver or just order thru my account online? Would be nice if they sent me a newer one which I would then swap out...
  19. TV Show Talk
    I know. I'm not trying to be mean just giving my opinion. I'm sure there are many who still enjoy the segment. I just find it a bit sad. Willard Scott labors thru it and it's getting very difficult to even understand what he is saying. I don't think anyone should get put out to pasture because...
  20. TV Show Talk
    Used to have the Today show on before the CBS This Morning show was revamped. Ann Curry is awful. She is a horrible interviewer and definitely has trouble effectively communicating with guests. She was fine when she was behind the news desk but being a co-host is clearly not the job for her...
