    HR20-23 / R22 CE Release 5/7

    I always get nervous because there are so many "Parent" / "Family" groups that are fronts for an extremely intolerant fundamentalist religious agenda, but I have been reading the parental guides out of curiosity and they seem pretty balanced to me. It doesn't scream "HIDE THIS WICKEDNESS FROM...

    HR20/21/22/23 CE Release 4/2

    Well, I was debating reverting to NR after my experience with the previous CE, but now I don't dare...

    Spontaneous Restart

    My HR21-700 with CE version 0x3b6 just spontaneously restarted itself. On starting, it took a very long time on the first screen with the D* logo (I think it says "Checking satellite setup", was definitely part 1 of 2). After it finished, I checked signal strength, my lowest CONUS was 84 on one...

    Installed said it's a no go!!

    Strange, I got a Slimline pole mounted on my condo balcony with no complaint from the installer. The pole has some type of bracket wrapped around part of it which is then heavily zip-tied to the railing. It does twist ever so slightly in the wind over time, but all that means is eventually I get...

    3D HDTV Channel for Direct TV in 2010

    I work in Higher Ed and we have a library full of LD's. We treat the players like gold, with only one allowed out in the field and the rest jealously guarded as spares, because we can't get them repaired anymore. Long term I hope to be able to play all the LD's into an IPTV server, but there...

    Refer-a-Friend

    Who is answering this other phone number and why is OUR money being wasted employing them if what they're doing is bogus?

    VOD via telephone line?

    Back to the original question, the reason broadband is required for VOD is that you'd tie up the phone line for like a week to download a movie over dialup.

    HR2x CE Release 10/2 v.35F

    HR21-700 I'm running in native mode. Seems like the box is taking longer to change channels when it has to switch resolutions.

    DirecTV Announced Local Weather on Weather Channel HD

    It's the SD stuff stretched to HD, just like the guide, over a slightly different slide. Meh.

    DIRECTV HD?

    No one else has BBC America HD either, so there's some small consolation. :p

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 7/24 & 7/25 v.x033F

    I just got a TVmail... doesn't look any different from the old messages. Ooooooooooook then.

    LAND LINE REALLY NECESSARY?

    Dish Network charges $5 a month if the box is not connected to a phone line. (He abbreviated it DN so it was easy to overlook.)

    Why Why no BBCHD

    OT: I think Food is one of the better HD networks. They seem to have started filming HD long before they went live with it. It's true that they stretch old content, and I HATE THAT, but there's so little of it that it doesn't really matter.

    Why Why no BBCHD

    I don't get why they don't do part-time HD until D12 lights up. Does the usual carriage contract language forbid it?

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 7/10 v.0335

    My HR21-700 would not turn on when I came home this evening until I did an RBR. Good thing there's a new CE tonight.

    Don't things have to be powered up in a certain order to work right in a SWM system?

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 7/10 v.0335

    HR21-700 While playing a recording (not MRV), the stop button didn't work and Info showed info about the program currently airing on the same channel. It's like it got confused and thought it was playing live TV. It sorted out either after the report was started or the recording ended (both...
