Actually, the temperature shown in the screenshot is -2 C, which is 28.4 F. Not that much of a difference but below freezing. I definitely agree with giving time for electronic devices to get to room temperature before turning them on. Better be safe than sorry.

I am also interested to know the answers to these questions. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have 4 TiVo HR22 and it took 2 weeks going back and forth with DirecTV and 4 service calls to get OnDemand to work with this device. Long story short, NOBODY at DirecTV and the technicians know...

As Jimbo mentioned, the TiVo unit from Best Buy is not directly compatible with DirecTV. This is the TiVo Premier model and it is a stand-alone TiVo DVR. It doesn't have DirecTV tuner(s) so you would have to use another DirecTV receiver and connect the output of the receiver to the input of the...

Hi, joeyd50. Please define "best" for you. It all depends what you are looking for. If you're into sports, I think DirecTV is the preferred provider. Dish may have channels that the others don't. Same thing with Comcast. If you're looking for better picture quality, I don't know anything...

LOL +1 :)

Supporting DirecTV I just got off the phone with DirecTV and nicely asked if there were any credits for their customers because of this dispute. The lady was very nice and gave me a $5 credit. She also mentioned the free Encore channels but since I've been a new customer for 1 month now, I'm...

This is probably the main reason why I am hesitant to sign up for auto-pay. I want to be able to verify how much money I need to send them before I pay my bill. In case of dispute, I can contact them before any money is taken from my account. Of course, that's the first thing I did. The...

Hi everyone. Little background: I have been a loyal DirecTV customer since November of 2001. Started with regular SD receivers and then upgraded to DVRs in 2004. Currently 4 TVs hooked up with their own DVRs and 1 of them is a lease (R15-300-CR) while all other 3 are owned. All DVRs other than...

Thank you all for your quick replies. The fix was as easy as clearing my cache as you suggested. Thanks!

Hi there. Every time I click on the link to access the DirecTV forum, I am taken to http://www.satelliteguys.us/forum.php. Hovering over the link shows The DIRECTV Forum but it doesn't take me there. Computer details: - OS: Ubuntu 11.10 - Browser: Firefox 11.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu...

FearTheVoices, I sent you a private message with a link to a web site that I suggest for purchasing RG6 cable. I'm too lazy right now to go and read the forum rules to see if posting a link to a web site is considered advertising. :p I'm glad I found this thread because I am thinking of...

Thanks, Bob. I have two HDVR2 recorders that I will call HDVR2_A and HDVR2_B. Last night I opened them and put the hard drive from HDVR2_B into HDVR2_A (swap) and it worked to some extent. HDVR2_A booted but there was a message about a hardware problem with the recorder. I was able to watch...

Guys, I would like to know if it is possible to replace a hard drive in an HDVR2 DVR with a hard drive from another HDVR2? I am not asking if it is physically possible but if the DVR will boot and use the other hard drive without problems. Thank you.

Thanks. I will watch for a CE release this Friday and Saturday (hopefully).

Hello, I am getting an R15 today as a replacement for a defective Hughes HDVR2. Are there only 2 windows of opportunity to get the CE release? I have no hope of getting the 3/12 CE release now? Thank you.

Hi guys. I have a Hughes HDVR2 whose tuner 1 is showing signs of weaknesses (a few channels are pixelated). I checked with another HDVR2 on the same line and it works fine. What I'm looking for is any SD DVR. I don't have HD. Any suggestions where to get one? Is it better on-line or in a...

Wow, it's been a while since I last checked this forum! It's funny how life finds ways to keep you busy. ;) Anyway, now that I'm here I just want to let you know that the problem was with the LNB. I decided to check the LNB before messing up with the cables. Sure enough, the plastic cover on...

Hi all, we have been having technical problems for a couple of weeks now. What happens is that during the day from about 11:00 to about 5:00 we lose DirecTV completely on all 5 DirecTiVos (HDVR2s + R10s). It first started on days that it was hot and our 5x8 multiswitch is in the attic. I...

When you lease a car, don't you have to pay a down payment too? To me, the DirecTV "lease" seems to be the same. ;)

There's something else that is not clear to me. I thought I read that because you will lease the hardware after paying a certain amount upfront, all future upgrades will be free. Did I misundertand this part? Does this mean that no matter what other receivers they make in the future, they will...

I don't know about WeaKnees specifically but I was wondering the same thing for customers in general. It seems to me that if you don't own the hardware anymore, you won't be allowed to modify it (upgrade to a bigger hard drive). What if you do modify it and comes one day they tell you you must...

I have a video capture card in my computer and the S-video output of my HDVR2 is connected to it. The sound is connected to the input of my souncard. I use the piece of software called iuVCR to control the capture. I capture in AVI format and then do some editing before creating a DVD layout...

I just did a search before posting this and it seems that nobody has mentioned this yet. http://www.sei.co.jp/news_e/press/03/03_11.html

Maybe need another receiver? Several people said that there seems to be a compatibility issue between DirecTiVo and some brands of receivers. I remember reading about this person who complained about the same audio dropout issue on the optical output too even after the upgrade. He then bought...

Even though the audio dropout problem after pause or trick play has been fixed with this upgrade, a couple of users in another forum have reported that they now get audio dropouts after switching tuners while watching live TV. I still haven't received the upgrade on my HDVR2 yet.
