Issue with Direct TV DVR?

Mine is plugged in as HDMI 1, with the HDMI out to the TV No problems at all. I have a Roku and Blueray attached to other HDMI inputs, and the receiver has performed perfectly.

I have DirectTv and it worked perfectly fine for mine. It does a great job and was better than a more expensive solution.

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

My HD come through a Direct DVR through a Denton A/V receiver to the Viera all HDMI cables. I have seen no lag, instant response.

It should. I am using Directv with HD (no DVR) and have had no issues. I would try and call the manufacturer to be sure before buying. But it is a great product and very easy to set up.

No, you must purchase a new card from DTV. I think it's $20.00. Please be aware this DVR is for multi-family use only and gets the signal through ethernet, not coax. If you get your signal through coax, you cannot use this DVR.

Thanks so much for the response! My husband suspected as much. The DirectV tech is coming back Sun. 1/1 to install the HD DVR receiver for the sum of $129 which includes running another cable (for $50). We question this extra cable thing and wonder if it will be necessary. I'll report the results. If the problem is not fixed, we will return the set as I refuse to watch a 'stretched out' picture!BTW, our 32' Sumsung (also new) in another room, already on the satellite DVR, does have that setting to enlarge and the picture is fine. HOWEVER, the blacks are too black (dark objects seem to run in together) even though I've tried all the adjustments. Any suggestions?Thanks again. Thanks so much for the response!

No. However, my DirecTv HD-DVR allows for the recording of multiple programs while watching another channel. I would think yours does too.

I don't know, I only use computer monitors. I have seen this question asked before, and guess that older TV's are not compatible with the software on the DVR.

DVR is a service you pay for. I installed mine with DVR right away and they had to run two cables in from the dish so that DVR can run while you switch channels. I dont know the answer because I don know if your dish needs to be a certain type. You should call direct tv.dont expect to get more services than you pay for though, the box feeds back to them.

I believe I've found the cause/answer for ME at least. I have my HD DVR on a shelf enclosed with a glass window. I think it's an issue with the DVR once it gets overheated. I've since cracked open the glass door and haven't seen it happen since...

Thank you,Stapler.In fact,I believe my cable company,Insight Communications,is doing just that.In the forum at DSL Reports devoted to Insight issues,others have alluded to the same problem I am having.I believe Insight is including the "do-not-record" flag solely to prevent non-Insight DVRs from having full use of their capabilities.

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

I have Direct TV and I can assure you I have never experienced anything but a flawless picture from my set except for the odd super storm which is very rare. I think you need to look to your provider as I believe it to be a cable issue.

If you connected direct TV through the Panasonic tuner, you will have to keep the dvd recorder on to view direct TV.you can experiment by using the remote of direct TV push source and try to view on different sources
