  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I created this thread for others to consider before they swap their HR2x (HR22, or HR24) for an HR54 (Genie). I say HR22 and HR24 as those are the two models I have first hand experience with. The pros and cons are my opinion and how I think a DVR should work. I understand other users will have...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I recently upgraded one of my HR24's to a Genie. So far it has been pretty good. Now I have an older HR20 that is starting to act up. Had to do a cold reset twice in two days just to get it to turn on. So I am going to ask for a replacement. Will it be replaced with a crappy 23? Should I...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've got 2 HR20-700's. Both received the 0xabf software update on 7/14. Ever since that update, I would see the "your receiver hasn't downloaded guide data for the past hour, call DirecTV customer support" (something like that) on the HR20-700 in my living room. That happened on Friday. Last...
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I am new to this forum. I have been considering buying the genie HR44 and converting my home to a whole home system. I only have 2 tvs, on with the HR20-700 and one with the H21-100. After doing the research to figure out what I needed to connect up the HR44 I realized that both the HR20-700...
  5. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I have an HR20 with a 2TB external hard drive attached. I noticed yesterday that the internal drive seemed to be making ominous clicking noises. I did a controlled power down (reset, wait for blue ring to go off, pull power), waited 45 mins or so and then re-powered. On power-up the DVR gets...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I want to use one of my HR20's in a Tailgating setup, i.e., with an 18" Round Portable antenna I have. Don't have one of the new SlimLine's yet. I know it will only be SD & I will have to change the receiver settings to Round 18" / No SWM, then change them back. The question is; Do I Need To...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've had 2 HR20-700s die in the last 2 months. The First one died in October and I did the upgrade path to an HR34. That box, my cats slept on and was full of hair so I understand why. The 2nd unit was clean inside and had been in a well ventilate protect location. the wild thing is they were...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So ... I've finally jumped on the HD wagon... which is a good thing for me since I watch a lot of sports. Here is my question... I picked up a used dish with 3LNB but I need to get an HD receiver with DVR. I do not need the latest and greatest since I am looking for something second-hand. Can...
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    We've had ATT Dish for 8 years...It seems like the non-ATT DISH prices are better. Bottom line, can we drop ATT DISH and go to DISH? Questions: can we go to Dish as a new customer with all of the new customer deals? if we're not new to Dish, are regular Dish prices better than ATT Dish...
  10. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hi, I just signed a relative up for directv and the whole home DVR as part of it. One of her TV's will be difficult to get cat5 to so I called directv to see what options there are (I have whole home at my place but I have cat5 running to all, I knew there were potentially some options...
  11. Standard Definition Receiver Support Forum
    What is the location of the DISH Network satelites from zip code 36571-2726? I want to check to see if the technician will be able to get a clear shot from my location before I place an order.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was wondering what the contract stipulations are regarding having a box replaced due to it being faulty or not working correctly? In other words, if I have my main receiver replaced (currently an HR21-100 that I'd like to smash in a million pieces), will this re-enter me into a new 24 month...
  13. ViP922 DVR Support Forum
    I know it may not matter to many but I am curious as to what the power consumption of the 922 is in indle/standby state and while it's in full use. Anyone have a kill-a-watt device? What are the stated power consumption specs? I can't seem to find them online.

  16. Laughter Is The Best Medicine
    There's this guy that goes to his front door to pick up his newspaper. He opens the door, bends down to pick it up, and notices that there is a small snail sitting next to the newspaper, just as peaceful as can be. The guy, suddenly overcome with a mean streak, picks up the snail, and hurls him...
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    Anyone know why none of the US Open channels (701-708) are not broadcasting anything? In fact, the Mix channel is showing the generic Sports Mix channel instead of the tennis mix channel. The banner says coverage until 10pm and I know there are matches taking place because I am following them...
