  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Raycom took over managing WVUE in New Orleans earlier this year. (And mind you, they DON'T own it, they only have an agreement with the owner to MANAGE it. The owner is Louisiana Media Company, who has an agreement with DirecTV that's long from expiring. Yet, Raycom is now saying to expect...
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    An update for the master list: "FOX Sports New Orleans" has launched. It is carried in HD and SD versions on DirecTV on channel 678 and is available with the New Orleans locals package. It will be the new TV home of "The New Orleans Pelicans" (the NBA team formerly known as "The New Orleans...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I had essentially these symptoms with the following additional symptoms (which, perhaps, eileen22 simply didn't try): No "trick play" function (FF, Rew, Pause) would work. None of the number keys on the remote did anything, which means no direct tuning to a channel, and since the grid guide...
  4. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Thanks. That makes sense. It's just weird that DirecTV used wording like "only available in"... In this day and age, when everyone orders lots of stuff online, where something may be physically stocked doesn't matter anymore, and it seemed odd that DirecTV seemed to be trying to regionalize...
  5. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    I currently have 2 DirecTV HD-DVR's (an HR20-100 and HR20-700) and one SD TiVo based DVR (R10). I'm very interested in getting a THR22 to replace the SD R10, but if you look at DirecTV's web site it says that the THR22 is "only available" in Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Los Angeles, CA, New York...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've been noticing something over the last 3 or 4 days that I think may be the same thing the OP is reporting. The phenominon described below is happening on both of my HR20s. First, my equipment: One HR20-700. Audio is via a toslink cable to a Yamaha AV receiver. DD is on. (Living room)...
  7. DIRECTV Programming
    Location: New Orleans, LA Call sign: WWL Channel: 4-2 Issue: Channel 4-2 is not present in guide. Channel 4-2, Live Well Network, is not present/available in the guide for OTA channels in New Orleans. It went live at the beginning of November. Confirmed on my HR20-100 and HR20-700. I must...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    And, my HR20-700 received the update last night. It, too, was missing a bunch of channels from the "Custom 1" list, mostly locals, but some others as well, just like the "100" when it updated. HR20-100 has been fine since I added the channels back in, I assume the "700" will be as well...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Me. Several channels were missing from my "Custom 1" list (this list I most often have the guide set on). Mostly locals were affected. I added them back to the list with no trouble and all has been fine since. (HR20-100 was affected as described above when it received the update a couple of...
  10. General Satellite Discussion
    A few weeks ago I took some photos of the Dish Network and DirecTV local receive equipment for the New Orleans DMA. They're rather cruddy pics, taken with an old cell phone, but I posted them on the web, in case anyone is nerdy enough to be interested in what a typical local receive...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It will upgrade itself automatically at about 3:00 AM, when it happens. You don't need to do anything. Rollouts of new firmware is done gradually, to a small percentage of receivers each night, Any changes made to the user interface generates calls to the call center. ("Why does such-and-such...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Personally, I like the built in OTA tuners in my old, trusty HR20s. No need for an outboard AM21. It's worth the slower response to the remote, IMHO. Different strokes, eh?
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I had a problem similar to this, which the 0 2 4 6 8 trick also fixed, but with an interesting difference. I have an HR20-700 and an HR20-100. Both updated to 0x03DF in the wee hours of the morning, 06/08/2010. Both had the guide corruption/lockup issue that morning. However, after two...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR20-700 in the living room rebooted at about 7:58 PM CDT, following a lockup of an undetermined amount of time. ARRGH! the beginning of Lost! :eek2: I was not home at the time. My quick-thinking wife (love her), queued up Lost to record on the HR20-100 in the bedroom (which was not...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have always done installations myself, including my upgrade to a "Slimline" a few years ago. When Hurricane Gustav moved through, a tree fell on my roof, barely missing my dish. I posted a thread with some pics at the time. That section of roof had to be replaced, and the roofer told me...
  16. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Thanks. I ordered 2. One for each of my HR20s! And by the way, today is Sunday September 20. (Which is the day this item is on Woot.) ;)
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just got the same message. Not rebooting. I've been reading in this thread about the fruitless multiple reboots people are doing. I'm going to wait until this thing seems to have settled down, then reboot if I still don't have a guide. (One HR20-700 and one HR20-100, both affected...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Did anyone have this problem fix itself without a reboot? I just got home and discovered it. "To be announced" on all channels, empty to do list. Box thinks it's 7/14. I hesitate to reboot because that apparently only fixes the problem for a few minutes, based on what I'm reading here.
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    No need for that explanation... That's what this entire thread is about: Errors in D*'s tuning data used by their OTA tuners. I'm reporting one (for the umpteenth time, that is).
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    Call Sign: WVUE Location: New Orleans, LA Channel: 8-2 Issue: 8-1 tunes, 8-2 doesn't. I hate to sound like a broken record, but this is ridiculous. Several of us in New Orleans have contacted Tribune. One of the engineers at WVUE has contacted Tribune. (I think more than one WVUE employee...
