How do you tell the unit what number to call?

These are only used to report PPV, to verify all in a household being connected to the same phone line, or for some interactive applications which are NO supported on Tivo boxes anyway. No software updates are done on this connection. Tivo sometimes does change, add or deletes these local numbers, depending on local conditions.
OK, NOW that you understand this - as others have told you, you really don't need to make this "daily call". Other than the annoying messages, they can be safely skipped over with no effect on your service. I would think you are on the latest software, so your list is probably up to date. I never had this problem in my area, so I am not sure if it even still on the list anymore If it is not, you might just have to start paying for toll calls, if you REALLY want to stop the messages for not calling in.
The receiver is gonna keep on trying to call out, not get an answer and generate a message to delete. Thanks for the info though It's hardly the end of the world Previous Next. Similar threads A. Locked Hr Replies 15 Views 2K.

Replies Views 11K. That wasn't really the question. The question is whether all outputs were active simultaneously. This is important to people who want to set up a recorder on one output or a Slingbox but leave the HDMI plugged in and active. It's quite a bit more than that. Given the choice between the two, I'd take the HR20 right now, hands down. Remove the "modality" and I'd still take the HR20 - it offers several things that best the TiVo, and as I've said to you on Twitter, I don't believe you've ever tried the HR20, have you?
One point and and one question:. Point: I cannot tell it to order my playlist alphabetically as the default.
It always lists programs in the order they were recorded; you can go to menu, pick "sort by" and change that to alphabetical listing, but it doesn't stick. You have to do that every time. This is pretty stupid. Question: You say "The HR20 can not only tune into over-the-air channels like your local HD broadcasts , but it can retrieve guide data, tune to all available sub-channels, and record any OTA channels as well one-off or as part of a season pass.
If I could do that through the DVR that would be great. Am I missing something? If this can really be done, please tell me how! Ira Ellman said on January 26, Isn't there a setting for this? I believe mine sticks. I prefer to see it in time view, but if you're correct and there's no setting and it doesn't stick, indeed that kind of stinks. Especially as things get shuffled around as new items record.
I don't see how to do this. I just called DirecTV. They no longer offer the HR new, but in effect they will treat me as complaining that my 21 doesn't work correctly, and will send me a replacement "refurbished" model, and the agent told me the odds are very high it will be a 20 because the 21 is too new for there to be many refurbished. If it turns out I get a 21, I can just send it back. They do this at no cost.
Of course I have to send the 21 back. As for the order of the playlist, they confirmed there is indeed no way to make one's choice stick. This agent patiently took down my complaint and said she will forward that point on, and perhaps the next time they update the software they will fix this.
I've just tried this on my HR20, and it sticks just fine across putting it into "standby" mode and turning it back on again. I can sort by name, date, or expiration date in ascending or descending order and it sticks. We also just got a software update last night or something. When I turned on the TV today I was informed of three big changes. So far, they're quite nice: re-organized menus with larger type, etc. I'm also not entirely sure I believe the bit about the HR20 not being available.
You should investigate here. I tried again.. Whether it is a difference between those two models, or the software update you just got, I guess I might learn when I get my HR To experiment, I connected up an old pair of Radio Shack rabbit ears directly to the antenna input of my Panasonic Plasma.
I sure look forward to getting that HR Further update: today I received the replacement receiver After several hours on the phone with DirecTV, I learned:. They cannot send me an HR No one has authority to make that happen. I could keep trying replacements and hope it is what I happen to get, but I'm not sure they would cooperate with that. The secret to dealing with DirecTV is to threaten to cancel your subscription.
You then get connected to a "retention specialist". She thought maybe she could get me an HR, but came back to say the rules allow her to do that only if the subscriber is in an area that gets no local stations. If it's officially an area that does get locals, then you're out of luck even if they don't have the locals you want. On February 27 DirecTV is coming out with an add-on box for the HR that provides the OTA functionality of the HR, with this additional feature: you can simultaneously record two satellite broadcasts and two OTA broadcasts for four simultaneous recordings.

But otherwise, it's just about the same, so far as I know. Ira Ellman said on January 26, I cannot tell it to order my playlist alphabetically as the default.
