Does anyone know how we can access recordings on our bedroom DVR that we have set-up our family room DVR to record? In other words, how can we synchronize our DVRs to "speak" with each other or have "shared memory"? Thanks a lot!

I was a happy lifetime sub series 1 owner and only had to deal with philips and sony instant cake cds. I've moved to directv and through friends and ebay have a sony t60 and a hughes hdvr2 and of course, I need more storage and networking so it's time for some cake. Unless you have a PC set aside with the specific master slave setup needed by cake, you have to tear apart a pc. In the interest of science (or laziness), I would much prefer to do this through PXE. I've done a fair amount of PXE but not messed around with the little/big endian disc imaging process and could see this easily burning a day of time when I'm supposed to be working. Does anyone have any experience making this work?

When the satelite company hooked up their HDMI cable to my TV the DVR blew up( inside the box-burn"t plastic smell-not an actual explosion though). The service tech had his hand shocked and my TV will not turn on. This is a 2 week old TV. Any Ideas?

When the tech came out and installed it, the DVR was working fine. It was a refurbished unit. Two days later I come home and I hear this high pitched sound...the fan in the back of the unit is very loud and spinning very fast. I try turning on the unit and nothing happens. I call direct TV and they send me out another unit.....I install it and 1 day later the same thing happens I call direct TV again and now I am assigned a case manager. They tell me they will send me a newer model DVR (a black one as opposed to the silver ones I was receiving) It comes....and for 2 days everything is ok. All of a sudden the fan comes on again and this time the unit cycles itself on and off over and over again...total malfunction. Cannot do anything with the DVR I call direct TV again and they send out a MASTER TECHNICIAN who has been doing this for 10 years. He give me a NEW (NOT REFURBUSHED) DVR. Works great for 4 days and now the same thing.....fan is in...

Does anyabody know a way to extract the content on the DVR and transfer them to a computer. I understand that the USB and Ehternet ports cannot be used to do this? Is thier antoher way. If I removed the Hard Drive from the HD22 Box and inserted in an external HD closure with USB, will the content remail in a readable format? Looking for the easiest way to archive my recording on to antoher drive or burn them on to a DVD. Thanks.

Is this a codec issue, or does anyone have any other thoughts on this issue? Thanks.
