  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
    My AM21 won't let me watch (or record) OTA channels through my HR22 any more. I've tried unplugging both ends of it several times and even did the initial setup again and still nothing. All it says it is "Tuner, Off-Air 1 (or 2, it changed after a reboot for some reason), has been removed" and a...

    Two TV's, each with an HR22. Out of contract. Is it worth the performance upgrade, capacity increase and 24 month contract to upgrade to a Genie HR44 and just keep one HR22 (tip $ for a possible HR24 swap)? I prefer the extra 2-tuners and DVR capacity over a Mini on TV #2, but it's slow. I...

    Smart Search has apparently stopped working on both our HDDVR's - an HR22/100 and an HR24/500. The guide is populated out to two weeks, and future shows correctly appear in the guide, but a smart search for those shows returns no results. For instance, by scrolling out in the guide we can see...
  5. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have (5) DVR's in my house connected with the Whole Home setup. I have RC65R remotes programmed for all of the my DVR's (3) HR24 and (2) HR22. I received some RC71's that are brand new, is the RC65R a better remote than the RC71? Will the RC71 work with these DVR's? Thanks for the help!

    I can't get the VOD shortcut channels (1###) to work on my HR22-100 any more. I checked my LAN connection and did a network check and reran network setup and it says everything's fine, and I'm able to download programs via search, but all it says is "1### (VOD channel name here) currently not...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    First let me state that my undergraduate work was in Sociology, so we tend to like Data and Polls. That being said, I know a number of us have upgraded the recording capacity of our systems from the standard given by Directv to larger and copious amounts. What I want to know is " How much...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Been running Directv (HR22 DVR) through new Xbox One console. Noticing some picture quality issues and wondering if this is common. Also wondering if there's a better alternative than the HR22 which I've had for what seems like forever now.

    Called DTV because scheduled recordings not occurring due to error 39. Satellite signals were low or non existent. The CSR told me that they needed to scheduled a service call. Service tech arrived and diagnosed that the LNB was bad as well as the SWiM16. He replaced them and rebooted the...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi all, I've read some of the other posts, but I feel like I still need some advice. We've been having some issues with the HR22-100, so we thought it was time to upgrade. The only other receiver we currently have hooked up is an old Samsung SIR-300, standard def. I was thinking about keeping...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I’ve lurked here for years but haven’t been following the forum much recently. Perhaps one of you ran across our issue and have a quick answer, otherwise I’ll need to spend more time troubleshooting. My daughter has been complaining about on and off NESN-HD pixilation on our HR22-100 since we...

  13. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have had Directv since it first came out. I am about to get the Genie upgrade and was wondering...will the hard wire install that Directv "professionally" installs work better than the wireless one that I can install? I received the wireless cinema kit (95w/tax) and called Directv to enable...

  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hey guys. I am very familiar with D*, but not so much with Dish. Here are my questions. My buddy's dad has D* with 2 coax cables for Standard Definition. He got an HDTV for XMAS. With D* you need 4 COAX runs for HD. How many do you need for DISH? The Dish sales guy said that the Dish...
