  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Nice personal shot there.
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm calling BS on it being common knowledge. If you won't/can't say, it's not really common knowledge.
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If it really is common knowledge, why be coy about it?
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    How do you know this?
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This one is easy! The H20 scanned for channels, and IIRC, was the first Directv branded tuner on the market. If it could scan, then why not all of the rest of them? They had the code written for it, why not the rest?
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    No deceit? If Directv trains the csrs properly, they should know that a particular model can't be guaranteed. If they do guarantee it, that sure sounds like either an incompetent csr or a lying csr.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Do you have to be insulting? It's not necessary. You may chose to believe your "reliable" sources, I chose not to without real proof. Like Beerstalker said, they could probably use the code in the H20 as a good starting point, if not in it's entirety.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm not convinced it's that small a number of people that would like to have the ability to scan. I'm also not convinced it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it. Can you provide real numbers to back up your position?
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    No, you clearly missed my point. The time that it would take Directv to fix the problem is not the most important part of my position, and it's not all about me. It's about me and the many other customers that can't get ota stations with an AM21 because Directv can't or won't add those stations...

    You're right, I don't. Thanks for the condescending remark. :rolleyes: The time involved to fix the problem is a minor point in my position. The explanation Beerstalker gave makes the most sense. I've "made peace" with it a long time ago. I'm merely stating my opinion. Sorry it doesn't agree...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That's the first explanation I have heard that makes sense.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That could very well be, but realistically, how much would it cost them to reprogram the AM21 to scan? It's a one time thing. I doubt it would take more than a couple of hours of code writing to accomplish. Failing that, at least keep the database of stations up to date. They have failed...

    No one NEEDS Directv either. What's your point? If you don't really care, don't post about it. Let those of us that do care continue to discuss it.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The lack of a scan feature would be moot for most if they bothered to update their database to accommodate new channels. WTIC in Hartford added AntennaTV as a subchannel January 1st. Directv has yet to add it to the database. When I emailed them about it they first claimed it was an analog low...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I saw that post, that's why I posted what I did.
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I thought moving an ehd to another dvr would reformat the drive. No?
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm sure the numbers are small, that's not my point. It would take little effort or money on Directv's part to make the tuners scan. It seems foolish for them not to when virtually all other tuners made can scan.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    How many are involved in the CE program is irrelevant. Directv is spending time and money nearly every week to run the program. Why not spend a little bit extra and allow the ota tuners to scan? It's likely a one time fix.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    They do a beta software download virtually every weekend. Don't you think they spend a lot of time and money on those? How could putting a little extra time into programming the ota tuners to scan add anything significant to their costs? It's a one time thing, not every week like the beta testing.
  20. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    You guys do realize he is doing drywall, not dishes, yes?
