    It morphed to Fox Sports 1, now on 219.
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    Why did DirecTV make this so difficult to find? A search for Fox Sports 1 doesn't find it, channel 607 doesn't point you there. (It's 219, if you haven't found it)
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just got my C31 from Solid Signal today, too. Absolute breeze to hook up. Unfortunately, the guy I talked to at *D was clueless. Couldn't understand how I had a box that they didn't ship to me. Wanted my credit card number to "verify" my account. Wanted the access card number. Adding the...

    4, 4-2, 5, 11, 17, and 22 are getting a black screen... 28 and 50 are working
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Back (at least Fox) in Raleigh-Durham

    Does this imply there's been a major satellite failure, or an uplink failure? Certainly too long without any explanation.
  7. HD Locals
    Days is much too long for a problem this bad to not be resolved. :eek2:

    Getting frequent audio dropouts and occasional video glitches on FOX Channel 50... no weather problems. Update: It doesn't occur on digital cable.

    It's the AVR (and maybe which stream is on the coax digital out). HDMI will negotiate what digital audio stream to send (in this case, 5.1 Dolby Digital or 2 channel PCM), and the DirecTV receiver has a setting for what's on the coax digital out (which may or may not affect what's on the HDMI)...

    You can buy a 'digital coax cable', but if you have any kind of semi-decent composite video cable lying about (the ones that connected to the yellow jacks), it will work just fine. If it's short enough and shielded, just about any cable with RCA connectors will work in a pinch.

    Working fine for me. Frequent MRV, scheduled and impromptu recordings.

    They'll convert everything to DECA, and that will keep all the box to box communication off your Ethernet. It's a Good Thing. :)
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    And he did it absolutely correctly.:)
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Given the reliability of electronics these days, Ethernet switches are not something you expect to "just fail", but they do.

    Not sure about that. While it most certainly works and is supported, I suspect a standalone wired CCK will recover a lot faster than an HR34 after a power failure. If other boxes reboot quicker than the HR34, they may not get a DHCP address from the router. I can hear the complaints now...

    You do realize you're logged into the best source of DirecTV information there is, don't you? :sure:
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Not until there's an RVU client box. But it won't cost you anything to keep an HR24.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes, but he can't schedule recordings on the HR34 from the HR24 (or vice versa), if that matters to him, and that function doesn't appear to be a high priority.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    You really think calling "D* corporate" today is going to make the HD Guide firmware available any sooner? :confused: It will be released when it's ready, which is probably "pretty soon" ;)
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Even my cheapest TV with an HDMI in has a digital audio out (if for no other reason than to feed audio from broadcast/cable somewhere)
