I have temporarily suspended my DirecTV service for 3 months, until my house is built. Can I hook up my DVR to a TV and watch the shows that are recorded on it without having satellite service? How? I'm staying with a friend who has UVERSE if that can help in any way.

I am a DirectTV customer and I currently have 3 televisions with recievers. One television is HD and the otehr two are standard def. On the HD TV I have an HD-DVR reciever, on another tv, I have a DVR and on the third I have a standard no frills reciever, all purchased/leased from DirectTV. I just bought another HD TV and wondered if I could by a used HD/DVR reciever from either Craigslist or Ebay and replace the stanbdard no frills reciever. Would this work without involving DirectTV or would I have to be charged for adding HD/DVR service to a third television?I hope this makes sense and someone can help me out. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

I had the 6.2 software and had networking up and going and was able to use the HMO feature. Over the years, I found I rarely used that feature and during a furniture re-arrangement I didn't even bother to hook up the network. In the meantime, it automatically downloaded and installed the 6.4 version of the software which seems to have disabled all the networking capabilities. How do I get them back? I now have a second DVR (this one is an RCA DRV 39) that I plan to upgrade, and would like to enable to Multi Room Viewing on both. What's the best way to do this? Thanks in advance.

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?
