  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    I've had a couple of timers not fire because of this nonsense, but when I'm looking for things to record and the description names unknown actors--not the stars--I don't know what to record. Only on some older movies where I know the stars can I be sure of which movie it is. This whole change...
  2. Hopper System Support Forum
    Why do you say "poor dvr services?" My Hopper records what I program it to record, which is what a dvr does. I too would love to have auto-hop on all channels. I've read a few posters who say we can't get it because Dish has commercials on those other channels. Whether or not that's at least...
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    The e-mail I received yesterday notes the following, "Please note that Pay-Per-View certificates are only valid for Pay-Per-View (channels 502-559) and Video on Demand (channels 1 and 501) movies up to $6.99. They cannot be used for movies rented from DISH Anywhere or Blockbuster @Home." So it...

    I've watched it during free HBO previews and would watch it year-round if I could. Typical, brilliant Sorkin. :D
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    Doverton, I feel your pain! All it would take is a note at the beginning of the form to let you know that you needed to call to make your payment if you are that close to the deadline. Those who use the form are supposed to somehow know that?? Anyway, welcome to dbstalk! :D

    Perhaps this explains the problem?? From: CNN Breaking News [mailto:BreakingNews@mail.cnn.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 9:25 AM To: textbreakingnews@ema3lsv06.turner.com Subject: CNN Breaking News Google and related services were inaccessible to some users this morning, prompting...
  7. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but with so many early posters who had to have their 622s replaced, I just wanted to share that I ordered my 622 the day they became available--February 1, 2006. I couldn't get an install date until February 21, but my 622 has lasted all this time with no...
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have a 722 and am able to search for anything, but the choices are "title," "exact title," or "info." If the actor's name is on the info screen for the program, search will find it. :D
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I know it seemed obvious, but sometimes the obvious is all you have left. I don't find things I want to watch from the "PIG" either. I don't know anyone who does. It initially seemed to be more of a "look what we can do" addition that has stuck. It really doesn't bother me though--unless I...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I don't have DirecTV, but if I'm concerned I'll see/hear something I don't want at the time I delete, I mute first and avoid looking at the screen while I delete. When I'm choosing the next program to watch, I studiously concentrate on just the items list and NOT the "PIG." It only takes...
  11. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I'd say it was just bad luck. I hope you have great luck on the next replacement! :D
  12. TV Show Talk
    What also needs to be added into wasted program time are the "coming up next on ..." segments prior to commercials in many shows. Are they getting us ready for even more ads now when in future they will just cut those and add even more commercials? At this point I don't put anything past them...
  13. TV Show Talk
    Kevin didn't have a lot of "facts" straight, so I wouldn't go by what he said. Carl shot her in the head (which, of course, wasn't shown). But I agree that if they bring her back, that misdirection will cost them a viewer. That would be worse than Bobby in the shower (original Dallas for...
  14. TV Show Talk
    If you think too hard about the survival aspect of it, you won't enjoy it. Suspending belief is the only way, which you've already done because, duh, we're talking zombies. :rolleyes:
  15. TV Show Talk
    Me too, but for weeks before she "died," I just wanted a walker to get her. :D
  16. TV Show Talk
    You've named some good ones, but recently I hated Lori in Walking Dead. So glad she's gone! Second half of the season starts Sunday.
  17. Hopper System Support Forum
    :nono2: The formatting is different between Hopper use and PC use, so you can't use an EHD for both at the same time. When I needed to switch an EHD from DVR storage back to PC use, the PC had difficulty even seeing the drive, and when I found it, the PC reformats before it can be used. You...
  18. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Cheers to newegg.com and Lee Cheng!!! In response to patent trolls, Cheng says," Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." Love it! :D
  19. TV Show Talk
    Thanks for posting about this. I have recorded "Haven" several times, but all of them have been "Eureka." It was getting annoying. I'm glad they wil be showing the episodes fairly soon. It's the only thing I watch on siffy now, but it's a good show!!
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    Just for confirmation, I have Dish and it's showing for 9 pm central on my guide for 11/4. Info is: "(2012) The remaining 8 chefs have thirty minutes to turn pickles into a snack for a field trip. New. Season Premiere." Don't know why it says "remaining," but it definitely shows as a new...
