  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thank you Jimmie, if the only thing I have to worry about is turning on the Genie first then activating, I can handle that. I appreciate your help!
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just called to upgrade my HR 24's (on a slimline 3 with SWM) to the Genie system. Since I already have wires running to all TV's, the CSR told me he will drop-ship the DVR and Mini's, and all I have to do is plug them in and start watching TV. I asked if he was sure, he said "yes." Maybe I'm...

    Thanks for pointing this out, SRI, I was coming here to do they same. It is weird and I'm lucky I caught it and didn't miss an episode. This Monday's episode, on May 12, says it first arid on May 5th. The new episode on May 19 says it already aired May 10.

    I was not a regular user of HotPass, but it came in handy once or twice a year when our local ABC affiliate decided to hijack race coverage to go wall-to-wall weather report to tell us that it is raining. HotPass was my only option to see the race. The fact that I can still use D* tells you...

    A lot of sports audio dropouts are intentional, to filter naughty stuff from hitting the airwaves. Instead of a 'beep' they just drop audio. I don't know if that is what happened in this game as I only watched about 10 minutes of it, but ESPN utilizes the mute button (via delay) more than most...

    You aren't going to like this (non) answer, but after years of us dealing with this, there still seems to be no way to figure out why some CBB games are blacked out and others are not. It really seems to be the flip of a coin in some cases. I know how you feel, even if you have FullCourt...

    This is getting ridiculous. How hard is it to get this right? And it is always the game I want to see that I get screwed out of.
  8. DIRECTV Programming
    I saw every Spurs game last year so you'll get them all. I honestly can't remember if you get the local commercials on the KENS and CW35 games but I don't remember ever seeing the stats central stuff, so I'm guessing yes.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It seems like several people have had different outcomes with this. For me, I was able to watch channels except for the local ones that I recorded via AM-21. Those would give me a "not authorized" message.

    This to me is the real reason to have Max. I hardly ever watch RedZone and I have never used "To Go," but I love the shortcut replays. I think this year it will be even more beneficial because I know there are going to be more games I want to watch than I can catch live without missing a...

    I have been getting these errors on a bunch of recordings this week, on every DVR in my house (all 24/500). This spans multiple channels, obviously. I was just coming by to see if anyone had a clue what the cause is, but apparently it is making the rounds.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Since the HD update, I experience long delays (5 seconds or more) every time I try to play something from the list while it is still recording. Playing items that are fully recorded never give a problem on my 24/500. It seems like the length of the delay is longer the longer the recording is...

    Here is one of those things that fascinates me. The baseball quiz show, Baseball IQ, is currently blacked out on MLBNetwork. A game show is blacked out! I was tuning in to check on the Mets/Padres game anyway because the scoreguide said it was on MLB (it is actually on the alternate channel...

    Craig is the best of the latenight guys, by far. This is a serious issue and I hope you get it resolved quickly! Also, I bet if you send him an email about this he will deal with it on the air.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I took a break from DirecTV and went to Cox for a few years when I switched to them for phone & Internet (TV came with the bundle). I am back with D* and am ticked at myself for wasting 2 years with Cox. You are right in saying that Cox's technology is way lagging (at least in my area, the...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't believe the point of the scores being available is so that we can check out completed games. Rather, it is so we can see what games are on, what the situation is in each contest, and quickly tune in. It is both a convenience to the user and a cheap way to promo offerings such as Extra...

    Exactly why I don't believe he has talked to a lawyer about this.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Sadly, I don't have time to read this whole thread (it looks interesting), but I'm calling rubbish right now. There is no way you have a lawyer and "damages" are irrelevant. If you walk into court without concrete damages, the judge will toss you in 20 seconds and hold your lawyer in contempt...
  19. HD Locals
    This is really ridiculous. I've gone to strictly using OTA for sports on WAVY, and since I'm using a cheap indoor antenna the quality suffers, but it is much better than that jumpy crap WAVY/DTV forces us to deal with.
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    The NHL usually doesn't black out these old games so I'm guessing this was an error. MLB on the other hand seems to get its kicks by blacking out games that are a decade old. Ticks me off just thinking about it!
