I sent the defective unit back to DTV. I am selling the new replacement. I am working with one receiver. Most of the HD Tivo's I have seen on ebay went for more than $500 used, but who knows at any given moment what one will sell for. Thanks.

Thanks again everyone. Unit is sold pending receipt of the money. Didn't mean to use the forum as a sales tool - but someone wanted it. Thanks. Wm

Thanks for all the great heads up!! I think I will go ahead and order the 80 hour standard Tivo stb. Ncc1701 if you want to email me off list I will be glad to follow up with you as the HD unit will be for sale. Again, thanks for the clarification. I just wanted to be more informed before...

Thanks a lot for the info. Again, I would like to sell the HD Tivo for $650 or so and use the money to buy the standard receiver and offset programming cost. I can then also drop the monthly HD fee, further lowering my costs. Also, the locals freezing were not from the off-air antenna, but the...

Thanks, Not kidding. I bought the equipment outright. Paid $1000 for the HD unit and paid for the 40 hour unit (I think about $100). In other words, no free equipment deal. So, will they let me deactivate the HD unit and replace with an 80 hour standard unit? I was hoping to get a fair...

Hello all, Here is my dilemma. I had a DTV HD Tivo installed in August. Everything was cool until a couple of months ago. Then I started getting freeze ups, almost exclusively on local channels. I called Direct TV a couple of weeks ago and had a brand new replacement sent. My question is this...

Hello all, Over the last few weeks I've been having lots of freeze ups on my HD Tivo. Seems as though they are occuring mostly on the local channels. They are only lasting a second or two - no hard freeze-ups or anything. Also seems a reboot through the menu will clear it up for a while...

I'll feel better if it was an anomaly "network wide" at least that would mean it wasn't our receivers specifically :) !

Ok - obviously it was just the HD unit, or just the location it is in. The bedroom DTV Tivo obviously did not have this happen. The buffer for it never reset, it goes back the full 30 minutes - the HD Tivo only goes back 10 minutes or so, the amount of time since it screwed up.

I had my HD Tivo hooked up a week ago today. So far no problems, I've been loving it. However, I was just watching tv and all of a sudden I lost the picture and got a message that the receiver was acquiring data and I could watch now playing but not live tv. There was a status bar that got to...

Thanks! I am totally unobstructed and wide open until you get right about where the Voom points. Dtv and Dish were always pointing into open sky and wide open horizon so I don't think I'll have any issues with this setup! Thanks again, I just couldn't get my bearings straight.

Hello all, OK - I'm switching to Direct later this week. Now my question is this: this house has had standard dtv service long ago, also had dish network, currently have Voom - with the triple lnb direct dish what direction am I going to be pointing in? Towrds where Voom points now, where Dish...

Thanks Scott, I will use them in a heartbeat, but do you know if I will have to pay current subscriber prices fro everything? Also, do you know how quick they are shipping out the Hughes HD Tivo units? Thanks.

Hello All, I am having a hard time finding answers to some questions, and would like to switch back to DTV. First of all, my wife and I had DTV 5 years ago for about 2 years - we then switched to Dish. We have since switched to digital cable (2.5 years ago). I would like to switch back to...

I rebooted for the first time in 3 weeks last night at 6:00 PM EST. I gained channel names as well, but lost all guide info. It is now 9:00AM - 15 hours later - and I still have no guide info.

Well everything had been going smooth since I changed from DVI to component. That is until yesterday. Now the receiver will just stay locked on one channel all of a sudden. I.E. - I go to change the channel after watching something for half an hour and the receiver won't respond to the remote...

I am in the Greenville area.

I hooked up via component this AM, disconnected the DVI input. Looks as though dropouts have stopped. No dropouts since in these last 6 hours. Maybe it's good to go.

I'm having the same problem as reported here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=10487 Losing signal on a regular cycle. Also should be noted that if I hit the red button to cycle output it will no longer give me a picture on 480p or 480i - nothing but snow. I no longer have to...

I too am losing my DVI 1080i signal on a cycle every hour or so. In my case they solved one set of problems I had, only to introduce another. And yes, my TV is set correctly.

Software update was done during the night last night. So far today, at least from the time I turned the box on at 6 am until now, everything is stable. We'll see if it remains that way - I sure hope so - I dig the service. Channel changes are really snappy, that's the truth. Other than that, I...

Seems after the call to CS the receiver has been targeted for the new software. Maybe I should unplug, etc. and see what mischief that brings :eek: ?? OK - Unplug, Plug, Wait.... so far didn't work for update. We'll see if it updates overnight tonight, and more importantly if that stops the...

Ok- I had Voom installed on Friday. After a shaky start and several reboots I was finally getting what I was supposed to just without a few of the locals (that's another story). I watched Voom pretty much all weekend. Had to unplug it and plug it back in once after fast channel changing. No big...
