  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks. I did have it correct, the only way it made sense logically. I just forgot the things wakes up brain dead for 10 minutes before it starts acting right and it eventuallly came up. Now if it will only let me play 4K on the TV that it says is only capable of 720p but at the same time says...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So, we had a Genie 2 HS17 installed a bit ago. I am moving some things around in the closet and I can’t get it back up and running. I thought I hooked it back up again the right way, but my experience installing satellite boxes is with the old way of individual receivers. The only diagram I can...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Interesting, the HR10-250 started becoming available in April too.

    THis actually heppened a while ago. Only 3 bowls were not on ESPN networks this year and one of those, the Rose, was on ABC.
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    I've been wondering this as well. Now that the deal is going to cable too, it will not be as useful as in the past. It will be interesting to see if they try to add some value.

    And giving existing customers a chance to order Feb 3rd, ahead of switchers. Also, Tim Cook is leaving it open that it might go to another CDMA carriers as the deal is nonexclusive.
  7. Tech Talk - Gadgets, Gizmos and Technology
    Wow, Verizon wants to make sure that we all know they have planned for this for a long time so there won't be problems like ATT. Even said something to the effect of "we tell you about it once we've done it, not when we plan on getting it done someday." They are even allowing it to act as a...

    Even funnier that evidently the @Verizon twitter account was being updated from Twitter for iPhone during CES. :D

    I can't beleive that ESPN makes money on MNF at almost 2 billlion a year. Its amazing.
  10. General Satellite Discussion
    Well, it was not really a recent shift, but a constant, long term ongoing small shift that just happened to reach a tipping point at one airport and therfore made the news recently.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thats also why I am not really upset by it. On the other hand, it would sure be less of an issue if we had a more modern guide like some of the ones seen this week at CES by other companies.

    Trying to cut down on people who finally gave up and bought a Droid returing them when the iPhone is announced next week?
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have to say I was somewhat taken aback when I saw 5 slots full of promos for the various on demand products they just introduced, but it is only at the beginning of the 500s and it is a new product, so I thought about it and I kind of understand. But man, when your guide only has 6 lines and...

    Well it sure looks like it's happening now. So much smoke it's like a BP oil well.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    It would definitely make more sense to put up HD feeds of BBC America and AMC. ;)
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    Wow, can't beleive I missed this before. My wife and I are in the same boat as you are Stouman, having the same exact conversations. I just want the TV that I want, in HD. DirecTV has been the closest to being able to get that for along time and our bill shows for that. However, it seems to me...

    Because satellites cost a few hundred million each?
  18. General Satellite Discussion
    So, eventually the satellite lost earth lock, the solar panels were not able to charge the battery, it ran out of juice and then reset. I guess it then drifted enough so that it charged the battery and it started responding to commands and began station keeping. Now they think they can upload...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So, has it been determined for sure that Premier is not going up any? If so, it will be nice that they finally give some extra value to the customer for having the whole package. I just have to wonder if they ommitted it or something. ;) The lease fee going up sucks though. Having 7 receivers it...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    You forgot about the second, lesser known definition of massive hype machine that blows everything out of proportion just to get hammered in the tech blogs about the actual announcement. ;)
