    I'm curious as to why it matters if there are commercials during pause? It's not as if you want to watch them. Pause allows you to do something else (like a bathroom break or answer a phone call) and then return to the show. Another thing to consider is that these may help to keep rates lower.

    My package is Xtra ($109) and called (800) 824-9077 to get right through.

    I just got off the phone with the Ricky in the Legacy Dept. and the best that he could do was $40 off per month for 12 months. I tried to talk him into more but he said that $40 was as high as he could. Last year or so I had $55 off which expired.

    Finally, the drought is over. No Sinclair owned stations here. So, I guess the sale of Northwestern to Apollo is complete.

    Nexstar isn't the only entity doing this. My local FOX owned by Northwestern Broadcasting has been in dispute with DirecTV since 2/22/2019. So where's the discussions about Northwestern Broadcasting? BTW, I've lost my ABC and NBC (and subchannels) because of the Nexstar dispute. So, the...

    Their phone system is also a mess. Is there a direct number for the Loyalty Dept?
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I see the on/off cycling of the logo every 15s whenever it's connected. All is good when power to the AM21 is removed. With the current carriage disputes, in my case I have three major networks blacked out. Two Nexstar (ABC & NBC) and one Northwestern (Fox), the latter has been dark since 2/22...

    I'm pretty sure that it is the AM21 as I've tried different USB cable and power cord. This started when I had an HR24.

    Is there an AM21 connected? I have this blinking situation when I have the AM21 connected to my HR44. The HR44 did recognize the AM21 and scanned for my local channels, but because of the blinking, the HR44 didn't respond very well to the remote control.

    When I had my HR24 I used the AM21 and it worked just fine.

    In my locale, Nexstar is in dispute with our ABC and NBC affiliates. Also, our Fox station owned by Northwest Broadcasting is in dispute. Using OTA is unreliable due to terrain. But. Hulu has the few shows that I like. These carriage disputes are just plain stupid.

    It seems that the recording indication has changed.
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The thing is, this problem only started recently. And it is only the INFO button that seems to be affected. Not a big deal.

    My HR44-200 received 11ac on 4/18 and I have noticed that the remote (in RF mode) is non responsive. The INFO button may take two presses to bring up information while viewing the LIST. I have replaced the batteries in the remote. All in all, the GUI works fine for me, But I would like the...

    The temperature is no longer shown. And is the Deathstar logo and DirecTV really needed?
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I also noticed that the power indicator in my HR44 was blinking about every 15s with the AM21 connected. It was causing the HR44 to be less responsive. Disconnecting the AM21 stopped this situation.

    Isn't an HR44 also considered to be a Genie? It has 5 tuners!
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I didn't do anything to force the update, it jist happened.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR44 upgraded to 1147 from 1112 last night. The progress bar is a good improvement, but it could be a little bit lower. And the different shades of gray used in the bar is also good.

    Did you try again in a few minutes?
