  1. DIRECTV Programming
    Sundance Channel has made a deal with NBC Universal to show it's HD content on UniversalHD for the time being. Link:Sundance and Universal NBC Strike Deal IFC files with the FCC to be allow to broadcast HD content back in April. But I think they may have just been doing it to get it out of...
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    This annoys me to no end. While I know that CSR's are indeed the least reliable people to get information from especially in D* case. It should not be this way. The CSR's are the public's only way to communicate with a company that they are paying money to. It is not like we have another...
  3. DIRECTV Programming
    The argument about what the launch date was supposed to be is really not the point. The point is that DirecTV knows how anxious everybody is to get these channels and should at least make a statement as to what the plan is. None of the comments in these forums would have been negative if they...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Oh and I almost forgot.... A CSR told me that Jimmy's cousin Susie said that Marty the guy from 3rd ave said that his sister in-laws cousin from the upper east side who knows a guy who has a brother that works at a house that has a satellite dish...that the channels are definitely coming on...

  6. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    They really need to rethink this kind of stuff. Dash-Dash may be intuitive for us techno geeks. But for the rest of the family/guests/friends there is no way to guess at this stuff without reading the instruction manual through. You really shouldn't have to read an instruction manual to...

    I get keybounce both with the DirecTV remote and with my Harmony. At first I thought it was just the Harmony codes. Then I switched back to the DirecTV remote and had the same problem. I am using IR for both. Have not tried RF.

    :flaiming Wow. I started a mini firestorm with this one. :flaiming I think the bottom line is that people would like at least one fast single way that always works to delete a program no matter how it was started. Maybe Exit always takes you there or back or I think more appropriately Stop...

    That is how I have always started recordings. One of things that I actually like a lot about the HR20 is that a lot can be done right from the Menu. - ImmerTech

    I guess it is pretty clear that this is not clear in the interface. If so many people are confused by how to get there. I definitely think one of the confusing things is that you are starting the programs differently then we are. We are starting from the Pop Up and you are starting from the...

    OK I just tested this as well and it does not work. To confirm here are the steps I tried: Watching Live TV Press Menu. Selected Playlist and pressed Select This shows the playlist. Not the full screen playlist the one that is within the menu Highlighted the show I wanted to watch. Pressed...

    I just tested this and it does not work unless you are very near the end of the program. - ImmerTech

    Is it possible that the text "Repeat" is not at the end of the Description but the Boolean is still True? Meaning perhaps when I record say Entourage on a Sunday and it is repeated on a Monday, behind the scenes the Boolean is set to True but the description does not show Repeat. Does that...

    I am not so sure about this. I have watched episodes of things on HBO and Showtime on a Sunday that show again on a Monday and it has not re-recorded them. There must be a time period of some sort??? - ImmerTech
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for the responses hilmar2k. But I am still confused: What if the same episode is on say 2 weeks later. Will it still record that episode? Is there some period of time where it says I have already recorded that so I am not going to record that again. If so what is the period of time...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    When I am watching a previously recorded program and I get near the end. What is the proper key on the remote to press to delete what I am watching from the playlist? Or at least to get me to the screen that has delete as a option. Instinct has me pressing the "Stop" key when I reach the end...

    So is there no way to get scenario two where I want it to record every single Family Guy every single time it is on a specific channel? - ImmerTech
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I believe I understand what the HR-20 considers a repeat but I wanted to confirm. With the HR-20 you have two choices when recording a Series. You can either choose First Run only or Repeats. If you choose First Run this obviously means if the TV Station has marked the show as a "repeat" it...

    Earl, It is very possible that I am missing something here, but your statement confuses me on this issue. On my HR20 the guide data did update. I checked it prior to the show starting. So it seems updating the guide is not the issue. The problem it seems to me is with how the scheduler...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I agree completely. If the director wanted it 16:9 he would have shot it 16:9. I really hate watching things in the INCORRECT aspect ratio. And make no mistake about it, incorrect is the correct word here. Why would anybody want to watch anything that is incorrectly displayed? I mean what...
