    thanks Texas. sorry for the hijacking the thread but I was not sure where to post this. I am in Chapel Hill and I am bummed by this issue. so I read the thread and the guy managed to get it working by downgrading his signal but I am so close to PBS I tried doing that I got the same issue. It...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just upgraded to the Genie 54 from Genie 34 to get the 4k client. I had an off air tuner AM21 connected to the 34 with no issues but the 54 will not add the off air channels. I get to 66% on advanced scheduler build after it does the local scan and the screen freezes. I have to reboot and then...

    I don't think anyone has suggested this yet. Suspend DirecTV for MLB season and subscribe to cable for the baseball season. You can probably get some kind of discount from cable for being a new subscriber and they will not require a penalty when you go back to DirecTV in 6 months. I know this...

    I have to believe that mlb.tv is hurting EI. You can watch multiple streams (ipad and tv for example) and you can watch it everywhere on your phone. Picture quality is very good IMO. Oh and it is much cheaper!! It wins hands down for me.

    Thanks guys! I called them last night but they didn't want to roll a truck. I will insist this time and I do have the protection plan.

    I am having trouble with channel 242 HD only. At least I can't find the issue on any other channels. On all of my receivers I am getting either searching for signal or pixlation issues like what occurs when I have rain fade issues but there is no rain in the area and it is only channel 242...

    If you are doing more than 1 tax return Tax Cut offers 5 free e-files compared to 1 for Turbo Tax. I switched for this reason. I think Turbo Tax interface is a little better but I was happy to save money :)

    Chapel Hill NC without HD locals. SD locals are ok. Anyone know what the problem is?

    I am all for replay in a limited scope (limited manager challenges). And although hardly ever mentioned I am all for replacing the ball strike calls by umpires with some kind of radar technology. I am sure it could be done and the inconsistent strike ball calls have just as much impact on the...

    No offense Alevine but the local Fox channel did you a favor today:lol: I would be in a foul mood if I were you as well. But what we don't know is if Direct TV opened up the Sunday ticket channel for your game when the local channel switched as they are supposed to do....

    Sunday ticket max does follow you. The local games are blacked out. I live in North Carolina and was in Chicago last Sunday and I could not get the Bears game. I expect the OP tried to record the Sunday ticket channel (which is blacked out in Atlanta) when he should have recorded the local...

    I would wager that the op did not check 715, he just selected the game from game mix and of course it went to the local channel still carrying the first game.

    Back in the 90's I got a bill in the mail for a year from the old Cellular one (I think that is Verizon now but who knows) for .01. I tossed them all in the garbage and laughed every time I opened one :) You should call AT&T and complain and make it known that you are not happy having to...
