  1. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear this but i think you're set to centigrade and 52 degrees is 125 degrees f (a little above normal) but 65 degrees is 149 degrees f and i do believe the auto shutoff is somewhere around 150 degrees f so it should be shutting off ... the million dollar...
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    best way to handle the csr's imho: 1. tell em you have channel 520 working on one receiver but not another (don't mention HD). they'll try to reset it which WON"T WORK. 2. they want you to go to tech support, tell em to just reset all your movie channel access ... if you're recording wait till...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Mr Moderator!!!! Can you please delete these inane and inappropriate comments on some stupid idiotic discussion of telephone companies and their attempt to monpolize the world .... what in the blue heaven does that have to do with Direct TV's D10 and the new HD Channels it will bring ... and...
  4. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    if you're an existing customer virtually all the "deals" are shut off for you but i found one for free installation, a multi-switch(if needed) and a 35-hour dvr for $99 plus 14.95 shipping fee. You need to use the code "ffdvr" to get this deal ... for those of you interested in switching from...

    i'm a guy who has had all 3 with the same 50" screen (about 3years old) ...Directv picture qualty is superior to both with one exception (locals) ... not sure why their quality is low there but otherwise far better than Adelphia Cable and better than E* after about 11/01 when they "lowered" pq.
  6. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This schedule appears accurate as i received the update on both my sony pvr's last nite, takes 10 minutes, don't matter if the unit is on or off (one was on, the other off). So essentially everyone west of Kansas with a p4 should have received the update and the rest of the country will get it...
  7. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    there are some hard reset codes that you could use to force a reset ... but a couple of questions? 1. is the speed the same on your keyboard as on your remote? 2. is the unit ventilated well? If not, your hard drive may be overheating In the PC world, hard drive clicking means imminent...
  8. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I heard this release is starting to come out ... neone got it yet???? ... what are the paramenters they're using to selectively release it???? This is probably the last release for UTV but sounds like some serious feature addition (buffer record, pip move, overrun options and some other stuff)...
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    When I changed from e* they insisted I talk to the "retention" dept who promptly put me on hold for at least 10 minutes ( i got pissed after 10 minutes and hung up) ... about 5 months later someone from retention called me and asked why i left ( i said picture quality and high prices of pvr's)...

    circuit city's all over california ... at least socal have them now.
  11. General Satellite Discussion
    The world is changing, the sky is falling ...typical outlook for Hollywood and all their cohorts (music, networks, etc) Since Video and audio entertainment began in the last 100 years, the producers have continually attempted to use the Courts and Congress to achieve what they couldn't achieve...
  12. General Satellite Discussion
    GOOD ... give him the max, satellite dealers dealing in stolen satellite service is comparable to drug dealers in the sense that dealers should be punished much more heavily that individual consumers. Reducing theft is the biggest weapon that the satellite companies have in controlling rates IMO.
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    i understand what u said but some of these negotiations come down to number of customers and emphasis. When negotiating with a Regional Sports Network D* has significant advantages over e* as D* has 3 million more subscribers/potential customers and d* has a reputation as a more sports-friendly...
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'm far from Charlie's biggest fan especially when the merger is discussed or their declining customer service is brought up but Charlie is right and always has been right about one thing... the only true language and leverage that you have with the programmers is to threaten to drop them ...
  15. General Satellite Discussion
    yeah there were 11 million d* users out there wondering how Charlie was going to live up to his "if" statement that existing consumers would not be impacted but if you really believe you were going to get brand new echostar receivers for free, you also believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus...
  16. General Satellite Discussion
    which consumers would it have been good for is an obvious question. Essentially if you're in an area where both services have LIL already then competition is reduced from 3 to 2 choices, if you're in an area not served by cable, competition is reduced as well. Only consumers who would benefit...
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    Amen to that post Karl .... i'm guessing that you'll see Charlie and his sidekicks visiting McDonalds just a bit more often till they recover that $600 million ... I bet Murdoch and GM are dancing in the streets thinking about the competitive advantage that was gained by Charlie giving away...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    answers: 1. I think it's normal cuz all 3 of mine do it ...think it's a hard drive adjustment going track to track. 2. Sadly the only option is to either manually adjust the record time or record the 10pm news LOL ... this is a technical issue that can't be easily resolved as the stations...
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    using apartment dwellers in this argument is nonsensical ... renters have the ultimate choice (mobility) ... if their landlord chooses to have cable and they don't like it, they can move somewhere that has satellite or nothing at all or choose not to have cable in their apartment ... renting is...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    "The Sony's are in the back. Dumb design by Sony IMHO" Sorry Karl but your information is inaccurate the Sony's access cards are in the front bottom center and very easy to acess ... actually the bad one is the sony b-65 that requires a clamp to remove the access card because the slot is too...
