  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'd like to see a package that eliminates the local channels and simply goes OTA, to help eliminate this.
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    Maybe time to say goodbye... DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL - AT&T Inc. – which is expected to premier its streaming service DirecTV Now later this year – reportedly will work to make streaming its primary TV platform by 2020. AT&T last year acquired satellite-TV service DirecTV, which has a large...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I tried this and was asked what was wrong with my receiver (HR24), which is heavy video pixelation, only to be told that this is a known bug and to be patient. The CSR was willing to upgrade me (naturally) but not offer any further assistance..... Three months later.... still waiting.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I got exactly the same response from DTv CS. My issue does seem to be more on the local channels, but History, Velocity and NatGeo are guilty as well.
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    At least it's evidently not something simple
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just gettin back to this: Diagnostic returned no error, except no phone line attached..... Signal meters look fine: 101 = 97-100 across the board 99ca= 94-95 99cb= 93-95 99s all over the map 6 = 65 8 = 40 19 = 33 20 = 26 21 = 21 22 = 25 all others 80+

    I was afraid of that. Yep, I'll run a diagnostic tonight and see what comes back.. My money is on the Hard Drive
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have had heavy pixelization last several nights on most all of the channels I've attempted to watch. Last nigh the locals got so bad I had to switch to OTA. I understand there have been some solar storms as of late, but is anyone else having this problem? Thanks KC

    Thanks Steve!

    Thanks Steve! I had looked at TiVo several months ago, but had not seen this device. Not to shabby!
  11. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I looked at this but still no integrated OTA... at least from what I can tell. The Fire and Roku seem to be similar devices.
  12. Miscellaneous Equipment
    As I am getting ready to cut the proverbial cord, I have been looking around and have found lots of options to do one thing or the other. My goal is to have a single box and common UI for playing most/all content, Amazon, OTA DVR, Netflix, Hulu+, Vudu, etc. Unfortunately, I'm thinking that this...

    Great Info, Thanks Reaper.
  14. TV Show Talk
    It's getting very interesting. The Swon Brothers nailed both of their performances last night. I listened to their studio versions this morning and the Bob Seger tune was actually better on the live show. Danielle is soooo very razor sharp accurate that IMHO she could take it, like Cassadee...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's not your equipment, but apparently a conflict in a Time Base Corrector somewhere in the NBC/DirecTV chain. The dropouts and audio phase shifting are terrible, and it is worse in the live shows than the pre-records. I was told 2 years ago by a friend of mine that works for NBC LA that they...

    This could work ONLY if the updates were evolutionary and not revolutionary. Just for clarity, the Windoze 8 interface change would be classified as revolutionary. Otherwise Business/Corporate IT will find something else.

    Or you can always use something like LastPass https://lastpass.com/

    Good way to check... http://howsecureismypassword.net/ tells me it will tak 71 quadrillion years to crack mine open :) Kevin

    Just another suggestion is the Amahi Project. I've been watching it for awhile and it is gaining maturity. May be time for me to switch my WHS box http://www.amahi.org/ Kevin
  20. Local Reception
    Ran across this and I am wondering if any of y'all have any experience with this company/antenna. http://antennadeals.com/HD600.html Going to be mounted in my attic due to subdivision restrictions and Memphis has a VHF Lo band (CH 5) digital broadcaster which fortunately for me has their...
