  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It's been a long time... our HR34 has become unstable, requiring multiple RBRs in a week. Also, sometime recently, the AM21 has started getting 771 errors, and now fails completely. The OTA signal from the antenna directly into the TV is fine. So, time to call in the upgrade that we're due...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have been with DirecTv since 1996. My system lately is having numerous problems that I am stumped. Let me start with the equipment I currently have: HR34-700, 2 HR24-100, H24-100, H25-100, AM21 (Connect to Genie), Swim 16. All receivers have the latest national release of the software...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    While checking out my list of recorded programs tonight on the DVR, I notice that out of the blue I've got a week's worth of both The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives listed. I know they weren't there yesterday, and everyone in the house has denied setting up a recording for these...

    Anyone who wants to exchange their HR34 for a HR34, there is an easy way to accomplish this, but you must act quickly. The current firmware, 0x987, has been rolled out since last November. Despite testing by DirecTV and the CE members, a fatal flaw in the Closed Captioning was undiscovered...

    I'd been planning to upgrade my system for a while, and finally sourced an HR34 and SWM16 module from eBay, and wasn't really looking forward to running a second cable to my access box (my house came pre-wired with two RG6 cables to a smartbox in the master closet, and 2xRG6 & 2xEthernet to 5...

    Do I need a BBC with Slimeline SL5 and HR34 receiver? Please. I have a Slimeline dish SL5 (4 outputs from the LNB) and I have a HR34 receiver. The HR-34 really needs a BBC to work with the SL5 LNB? Other question: I configured the system to 18x20 dish and works fine, and I also have like 5 HD...

    **** UPDATED WITH FIXES**** So I purchased a new Samsung TV today and plugged in my Ethernet connection to the TV and immediately the HR44 RVU device showed up as a video source. I was hoping that was all I had to do. Boy was I disappointed. I'm not sure if these steps are all correct, but...

    Hi folks, I had a question for those that are familiar with the monthly $3 Whole-Home DVR Service fee for the Genie. I never had this monthly charge since I got the HR-34, until the hard drive failed and I had to replace it with a new HR-34 back in December 2013 and ever since, each bill has...

    I have had similar issues as many others have with my HR34 unit; screen freeze with audio continuing. Got Direct to do a swap with another HR34 and unfortunately had the same problems. After a software update that specific problem went away but it now becomes frozen and unresponsive requiring a...

    Will have Genie installed in the next couple of weeks. Anyone have any idea how many HR34s are still being installed? I want to know whether I need to ask the installer what he will be bringing, and tell him to try again later if he isn't going to bring an HR44.

    So a week ago Friday AM before work I set up a recording of Gravity in 3D to play when I got home on my HT. I raced home, hit play and was presented with the following message (paraphrasing a bit) "Your 3D TV does not support 1080i resolution (797)" Now I have watched 3DNet, 3D blu-rays, my...

    I currently have 2 HR24's and 1 HR23 in my home. I am replacing the HR23 with a new Genie HDDVR. I have a couple of Questions: 1.) What are the chances I get an HR44, instead of an HR34? 2.) Does the Genie HDDVR have GenieGo built in or would I need to also go buy the GenieGo product to be...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    In my current setup I'm using the DECABB1MR0 (DECA I?) and am getting TERRIBLE download performance when trying to watch VOD content. I know that it's not a bandwidth problem, as I have a solid 150 Mb connection (distributed via an Asus RT-N66U router). So, that got me wondering if the issue may...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Lately I've been having issues with my dvr. I'm unable to turn on PIP, when I select it doesn't do anything. I called directv customer support and the csr is telling me that its because I'm using too much of the storage space. At the time I called, I had 30% free. Now I got it to 75% free and...

  16. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I'm currently building a new house and am pulling all the cabling next week. I've got Cat6 and RG6/QuadShield to run. I've got a living room and 3 bedrooms to set up. My new equipment includes an HR34 (living room) and 3 C31s (bedrooms). I may put my HR22-100 in one of the bedroom (Master)...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I ordered an HR44 and was sent an HR34. Sent the HR34 back and called Directv again. After going round and round for two days was finally given an answer - call back and reorder and see what the installer delivers. When I suggested this seemed a waste of the installer's time, I was told that...
