Since the software "upgrade" to TiVO on our DVR, the machine now randomly and spontaneously resets or reboots ("powering up"). Looking at DirecTV's proprietary technical forums, others are experiencing this as well. DirecTV seems to be clueless or intentionally silent about the problem. They...

Hi, DirecTv just upgraded my HR10-250 Tivo unit to their new HR20. The HR20 is not Tivo but very similiar. I was happy with the upgrade because it gives me my local channels in HD. Is there any way to transfer data (movies etc) from the HR10-250 Tivo unit to the HR20 DirecTv DVR? By the way, so...

Why does DirecTV want me "back" when I've never been a subscriber? i.e. Why are they sending me promotional material meant for previous subscribers? -- If you really believe carbon dioxide causes global warming, you should stop exhaling.

Hi, I am a current DIRECTV subscriber. The other day I got an older HD DIRECTV receiver from my brother. I wanted to use it in the basement on a small lcd tv over my treadmill. I ran the cable, hooked everything up, and called DIRECTV to activate the receiver. After the usual ridiculous hold...

Does anyone know what happened to the Fashion channel (223 on DirecTV)? It just seems to have abruptly gone off of the air. I tried looking on the DirecTV web site, but can't find anything: and if I do a search I either come up with irrelevant items, or I get pointers to programs that are...

My Dish DVR automatically recorded the (supposed) Nextel Cup race yesterday. I am fairly certain the program info said something about the race being from Michigan (which was suspicious in itself), but when I started to watch it, the race was from Watkins Glen as it had been the week before. It...

Is the best place to buy equipment/service for one switching from cable directly from the DirectTV or Dish Network web sites? Or are there other web sites that have better deals/service? Or maybe Sams/Costco? Also, I have 2 tv's upstairs and 2 downstairs, generally only 1 or 2 active at any...

Hi there we have two receiver boxes hooked up but want to move one to another floor. The cable runs some 40 feet to the front of the house and down about another 30 feet into the room.

http://investor.tivo.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=257482 No mention of networking functions, but at least it shows the platform isn't dead. Interestingly enough though, the TiVo press release refers to the 2nd generation units as Series2 for the first time that I can recall. Most of us...

Is there a newsgroup for discussion of cable/satellite channel programming content? Are there newsgroups for particular programs that aren't fan newsgroups?

I have a Hughes DirecTiVo with a 70 hr hard drive (from Weaknees). Lately, some of my recordings have been pixelating during playback. I'm not sure if they are pixelating during the original broadcast (something else for me to check) but nothing else I watch "live" is pixelating. Also, I'm...
