    Which means that all it will do is drive servers/sites out of NY state.

    I know that the HDMI adapter allows it to charge and display HDMI out at the same time. I have not tested it doing both, but it is supposed to work. That's not USB, but show that it might be able to be made to work.
  3. TV Show Talk
    I've begun to think that the last couple of episodes.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Not a lawyer, but here's what I've gathered over the years and from these forums. You agreed in the initial agreement that they could modify the terms and conditions with proper notice. So, yes they can make any changes they want, and you have already agreed to accept them, or cancell and pay...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    First thing to do is look in the history entry and find out what that says. It will often tell you why it thinks it recorded it, and sometimes why it is a partial. Guide data updates can be received at any time. Sometimes, that will cause a partial. it thinks it has a show you watch, but...
  6. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    You will probably be fine for normal viewing, assuming you are indeed receiving all channels. However, if you have less than ideal signals, you might find that your signal drops off sooner in the rain.
  7. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    I should be playing exactly from where you paused it. It does automatically resume. (It's a reasonable assumption that you switched to that tuner to watch it, to stare at a paused screen.) If you are seeing it play from elsewhere, that would be a bug.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That won't do it. Iit will still roll off, as the "keep only 2 episodes" take priority over the "keep until I delete". Unfortunately, there is no way to do what you would like. However, as has been previously suggested, place it lowest in the priority list to prevent it bumping recordings. if...
  9. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Just checked mine. None of the ones prepared/downloaded by nomad are marked As watched.
  10. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    I thing what you are missing in the above example is that DirecTV and Dish are asking for "most favored nation" status on what is basically a wholesale price. They are fixing what the providers can charge the competitor, not what the competitor can charge the customer. That's the difference...
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This ad seems to be failing on so many levels. I can't imagine what businessman thought this was a good idea. 1. The ad is so intrusive, affecting the actual watched program, that it prejudices some people against the product. 2. The ad seems particularly ill suited to the audience. Do they...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Simple answer: Contracts, money, negotiations. DIRECTV can't set it up without the channel's permission. Channels want to be compensated for that permission. When they come to an agreement, we can get access to a channel.
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    Hmmm. Interesting development. It looks like the DIRECTV press release says that they agreed to the financial terms proposed by Tribune. That's not the same as Actualy signing an agreement, but usually the signing would closely follow. That is, unless the word financial indicates that there...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Someone (maybe it was one of you guys) said in another thread that it appears the reason his Autorecord stopped working was because the local channel broadcasts are no longer being marked as live broadcasts. If that's the case, you could try Taking off the LIVE keyword, but that might record...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    You seem to put all the blame on DIRECTV. Don't you think this had to be in the contract with the local station? Some stations would choose to letterbox, others would choose to clip the sides. Perhaps, a complaint letter to the station would help. Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    First, check your old bills (previous it the latest price increase.) It will tell you whether the receiver was considered owned or leased previous to deactivation. This information is not available online or with the new bills. If those show leased, you will want to verify with the access...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, as I said, this was before the bill change, so I am sure that it was marked as owned, and it did not need to be returned. Also, she specifically said that she could "see that it is owned". She wasn't assuming that it didn't need to be returned because it was old. (It was an H24.) The OP...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I deactivated an owned receiver about 6 weeks ago, with no problems at all. CSR could see that the receiver was owned and knew it did not need to be returned. This was before the bill wording change. Hopefully, they still have access on their screens to the correct own/lease status.
  19. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Except if the person who had the subscription to HBO was present, then it would seem to be perfectly legitimate to use HBO GO an a PC and hook it up to the TV.
  20. TV Show Talk
    Watched it yesterday and made a similar observation to Mr. DogLover. There may have been a nip or tuck here and there, but nothing that looks artificial. With all of those curves, nothing seemed to sag. While I've never had her figure, I have to admit that I was jealous of the shape she was...
