  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Anyone having "The Wmdledon Experience" thrus upon them? I turned on my TV (I dont usually turn off my DVR) after turnng th TV off earlier while it wa s on a local , non sports channel. I turn it back on and the screen is dominated by a crazy "Wimbledon Experience" frame. At the bottom left it...

    Seeing the same here. Really quite annoying. And what is worse, sometimes it hangs so long I have to eventually hard reset the DVR via the front panel. Twice so far. and three other times, after the sluggishness, it deleted my doubleplay buffer once I was able to finally switch back. It hangs...

    Ok, so perhaps I deserve it because of what I tried to record. I went to set a recording for 21 Jump Street because a friend wants to go see 22 Jump Street. It is on tonight at 8 PM. So I went to the Guide on my HR34/700 with software 0x870, Thu Jun 6/12, 3:46A I went to the channel and time...

    This skip issue started happening on our HR34 when we got 799. Very annoying. It actually does skip forward or back reasonably quick, but the bar doesn't show it for 3-5 seconds, which usually leads o incorrectly pushing the button again. Also noticed the audio issue but it seems...

    I am really confused by the clients and the Genie. I have read that the clients are connected to the Genie via coax? I dont see many coax outputs on the Genie back panel in the pictures as I have seen? Makes me not want to pull the trigger on such an arrangement.

    Sprint - I can downgrade (or upgrade) my plan or most of my features online without speaking to anyone. Makes me more likely to add on features since I know it is easy to turn them off when not needed anymore.

    never thought I would care about CSPAN in HD. I mean really who needs that thrilling "Roll Call Vote" graphic in HD, anyhow? "Oh look its Chuck Shumer in HD, wow, look how tan Boehner is now", etc etc Until I realized that the only way I can watch the conventions (when I am not busy sorting...

    Funny, isnt the transmitter In chesterfield? I had a lot of problems with 12 as I recall, but I am practically in Fluvanna county. I can get Charlottesville's NBC better than I can get Richmond's

    Sort of irks me - I was told this was not offered standalone at all. I am more of a motorsports fan and by the time those seasons are done, there is not much football left. But I would enjoy the Red Zone channel. Almost seems like we are penalized by having DirecTV over one of the other...

    If you live close enough. Not sure if it comes in at my place, some neighbors have had problems but I also helped another neighbor (who was trying to save money by dropping satellite) pick it up about a half mile down the road, needed an amplified antenna to do it IIRC (this was just after the...

    I'll bring a case of good beer, a bottle of grey goose, and some killer Creole Shrimp Dip. Id love to see how these test channels work.

    Not to mention , whatever happened to the flying cars? I was promised flying cars. With DirecTV in them :D

    Happy Day! Looks like the wait was worth it. I like some of the shows on Ion but only in HD. And Doctor Who in HD.. smashing. Kids will be happy for Disney Jr in HD, if they even notice the change. Since they watch it half the time on the set without an HD tuner, maybe not. But maybe now I...

  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It is very unreasonable if you consider that A) viewership of Viacom channels is steadily declining, and B) Viacom has made an end run around the providers, allowing online access to much of the most popular content, diluting the value of the programming that already had declining viewership.

    This. When is the last time there was a new Blue's Clues ep? Max & Ruby rarely have new eps (though I understand there was a new season recently). My wife picked up a few Blue's Clues DVDs and Max and Ruby DVDs from the used video bin, and those will come in handy if the kids feel the need to...

    The Viacom/DirecTV dispute was mentioned on the Steve Czaban show on Yahoo Sports Radio (which is played by my local FSR affiliate OTA).

    Hear hear!

    I am guessing it is the other end...

    Ditto. If one wants absolute free speech on a forum, one is free to find one's own provider and start their own forum. At the very least, when you post on someone else's forum, you are using their diskspace. I am pretty sure woody wouldn't think that everyone has a right to store things on his...
