Just switched to directv on Friday. I see on the back of the dvr has a SATA, RJ45, and USB connection. My question is can I record and transfer From the DVR to my pc running windows xp Pro. Thank You Tayte

My DirecTivo has not made a successful call since March 20th. A few days ago I got a message saying it needs to make a call. So I manually had it call in and it said the service was not answering. I have been trying now the last three or four days get this thing to call in and connect but...

What are the brand names to look for when looking to purchase pro quality coaxial cable (RG6) and related connectors? Also related tools for those connectors? I notice that my cable internet provider (Shaw in Western Canada) uses Belden-T coaxial cable with some kind of heavy duty coaxial...

Dunno when it started (probably early Friday morning) but it's on now. Channels 501-511. Patty

Has this NG gone inactive? *TimDaniels*

Does anyone know of a way to modify this rcvr so that the ota rcvr will work when there is a loss of sat signal? It's tough during these weather events when you can't get any weather, news etc. KM

I moved to a new home about a miles distance from the old one and decided to do my own hook up because the newer home already had a dish attached. After not getting a good sugnal we hooked up the other dish which we removed and brought with us. We've had as much as 77 % signal strength but can't...

Hi Chip designer, I came across an Excellent website for vlsi chip designer http://vlsi.chip.googlepages.com which has a designer's view about all the topics which a frontend and a backend guy would want get addressed.

Someone on a discussion list I belong to just asked whether there was any way to get the Winnipeg locals on DirecTV. I was about to post a followup saying that there is no way to for DirecTV to offer any Canadian locals, but I wanted to check here first. I've heard in the past that folks in,...

I have an SD TV. I am considering to get the HD receiver for two reasons: 1) Get Dolby digital sound 2) Get over-the-air HD programming (if I upgrade to an HD set) Can I actually get Dolby digital even if I do not sign up for the HD programming? Also has the HD211 inputs for over-the-air...

After finding and receiving the information for contacting The Discovery Channel, I'm still at a loss as to how people are able to submit things to Discovery Channel programs such as Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. Both programs solicit viewer input and both give URLs that don't work at the end of...

Am needing audio tape, video tape and film footage in connection with both the John F. Kennedy assassination in November 1963 and the Robert F. Kennedy assassination in June 1968. TV or radio news coverage. Any and all sought. Even poor quality reel-to-reel tapes are acceptable. This is for a...

Has anyone noticed that while listening to Top Tracks in stereo, sometimes true stereo sound is not broadcasted? I was listening to an old Neil Young song and you could hear him sing, but you couldn't hear his guitar solo. It was like XM was only broadcasting the left or right channel.

Hi, We just had DishNetwork installed this weekend, and though I was happy with the installation and service, upon going through the on-screen channel guide, I'm finding some of the channels listed as being in the American Top 250 package are not listed in my guide. Below are those channels I'm...

I've tried on a couple of occasions to contact the Discovery via their Web site. I have yet to discover how to submit a message to one of their "fan" sites. When I submit a message to the Discovery Channel main site saying I can't get a message through to the fan sites, I get an automated message...

Had an option when I had DirecTV hooked up (about a month back) - either the roof (need a 40' ladder to get to it) or the side of the house. Hearing about people having to clear off the dishes after snowstorms (not all storms, just some) I choose the side of the house. A few snows came and...

I got the dreaded message yesterday. I have one of the old Directv TIVO receivers. I'm surprised that they would be updating it. Perhaps they have some system changes that made it necessary. It still works and I haven't noticed anything different so far. Has anyone else had their TIVO...
