  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thank you. That's kinda what I figured. I was just puzzled about not being presented with the screen to select my dish type. Menu>Setup went straight to the 101 signal level screen. Do you have any idea if the "newer" software automatically detects the presence/absence of an OTA antenna? I have...

    Before you get on your high horse, please note that my ONLY question was whether anyone else had observed this behavior on a H20-100. My receiver set up just fine and I have no problems. Sorry if you thought otherwise.

    Reading comprehension is obviously over-rated. :sure:

    I recently had a defective H20-600 replaced with a H20-100. When it first said 'Searching for satellite", I pressed "Menu" and selected "Setup" in order to set the proper dish type. The screen went directly to the satellite signal level screen for the 101. The signal strengths were all...

    I called Directv around 2 PM on monday and received an H20-100 at noon the next day. It has a "reconditioned sticker" on the back but it looks brand new. Works just fine. The CSR told me not to bother with returning the defective H20-600...just chunk it in the garbage. Pretty good customer...

    I need OTA capability, so will Directv replace my H20(built-in tuner) with a newer HD receiver AND an AM21 tuner, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and pay for an AM21? Seems fair that they would replace what I now have with comparable equipment, does it not?

    How often does Directv re-authorize a receiver? I have an H20 that has been unplugged for a while during remodeling a room and now I get the error message that it needs to be re-authorized. It's no problem to do it but I'm just curious as to how often a plugged-in receiver is authorized. Thanks.

    I concur on using VideoReDo to edit the videos. I have the HDPVR and I've burned probably 25 entire football games to Blu-Ray after editing the commercials out. Results were very good!

    My DMA (Columbus, GA) is not scheduled to receive the new guide until Jan. 12 but I was able to force a download of it at about 5:45 this morning. I've had no problem with it but if you're gonna make the guide text smaller, why not increase the number of lines and columns? Better yet, make it...

    My current package is Choice Extra HD-DVR and is supposed to include Locals (which we didn't have until today) at no extra charge. Now that Locals are available, they're telling me that I'll have to "Upgrade" to a currently-available package in order to get the Locals!! Of course, the current...

    The Columbus locals are showing up in the guide in Auburn but tuning to them produces the "Channel not purchased" message. I red-button reset one receiver and it made no difference. The D* website still says "No Locals" for my zipcode (36830). Do I just need more patience or is there something I...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Local channels have never been available in my area (Auburn, AL), but according to posts in another thread, they will be on or about 10/27/2010 (Montgomery,AL and Columbus, GA). Will I need to contact D* to get them or will they appear automatically on my equipment?

    Well, if congress is working on the problem, we can all relax. </sarc>

    I don't know if this is related to 34C, or not, but it just happened after the upgrade... I had scheduled a recording of "Castle" on CBS because I was watching something else. I switched over to the program while it was still recording and went to the start of the buffer. The program "lead-in"...

    What receivers are affected: H20 fails, HR21 w/AM21 is OK What market you're in: Columbus, GA / Opelika, AL What zip code you're using to get guide data: 36830 What channels are affected: WRBL 3-1 (UHF 15) What's happening currently: I get guide data and 100% signal strength on H20 but tuning to...

    I'm certainly aware of that, but I'm also sure that I can cross that bridge when I come to it. Pulling another coax won't be any more difficult then than it is now.

    Thanks. I was afraid I was misremembering.:)
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Diplexing may not be supported by Directv but it dang sure works. I have two separate installations, one with an HR21/AM21 combo and one with an H20. Both installations have the OTA diplexed and both work just fine.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have an HR21 with an AM21 OTA receiver. I think I read on this board that I can record two OTA programs AND two satellite programs simultaneously while watching any one of the four. Is that correct, or am I misremembering? :) TIA.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    More information needed. What model boxes did you get?
