    Didn't they get consultation from Comcast? And they got what Comcast wanted. A way to make it difficult for competitors (read DirecTV) to get in the game. They screwed up just as many of us said they were doing at the time. They did not understand the models for various providers and only...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I had to switch to Fios as well because of a tree I don't own. Tivo makes fios tolerable. The fios DVR is one big mess and while I think Tivo is far from perfect (I prefer the DirecTV menuing system), it is close enough to make it workable. If I could, however, I would go back to DirecTV in a...
  3. DIRECTV Programming
    And no one can tell me that that is the intent of the content owners. Especially since DirecTV themselves are inconsistent and the issue does not exist with other content providers. DirecTV screwed the pooch on their implementation, plain and simple. And, you are dead wrong. As of a couple...

    Yup, Baltimore fans hate the Colts, mostly. It was hard to do during the Manning years because he was relatively likeable and a lot of the hate subsided after the Ravens won their first Super Bowl. Now, it is more strong dislike.

    As for the topic, I am a Ravens season ticket holder and the ability to view via that login worked fine (I was watching Red Zone to see updates on injuries and things). As a season ticket holder, I have access to NFL Mobile.
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    So what? It is still wrong and it is not being enforced by the content providers since a major one is not doing it. (They did mess up Fox networks for outside streaming on devices like Tivo). What I am talking about specifically is the block of SD (not HD) viewing from an HD station for use...

    Hate to take this back a week but I need to correct something here. The Colts attendance was VERY GOOD until Irsay started publicly shopping the team to Tampa, Jacksonville and anyone who would pick up his bar tab. There were several drunken press conferences at the airport when he came back...
  8. DIRECTV Programming
    I have the issue on ZERO of the Fios channels. Zero. It actually makes no sense. They black out SD output of the systems BECAUSE you have an HDMI cable attached. Yup, because I want downscaled picture. Oh, and they DON'T do the same for the SD channels. I do not actually believe that DirecTV is...

    Or two Genies with one TV with PIP. Genie PIPS within the TV PIPS. I've done three games at once that way (one Genie).
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    You seemed to think that they voted to make a huge expenditure on a wholly owned channel on nothing more than "golly, we might make money some day." Which is it? They are astute or they are easily duped?
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    Yup. I cannot get it. I have some tree issues these days with DirecTV. I have zero line of sight to Dish. And no local carrier that I can get (Fios or Comcast) has the channel here. Loads of people cannot get this "major channel."
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    Nobody EVER approves a large deal on something that nebulous. Oh, and you are PROJECTING even in that small chat. Projecting your next TV deal. You really think this was done on a wing and a prayer?
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    Of course they do. How do you sell the idea of a network if you don't project (promise) certain amounts of income? You need to do an ROI at the very least, which "promises" a certain amount of income. You think that Scott stood before the Pac12 leadership and said something like "I have no idea...
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    Would that be like the DirecTV plan to have only one box for HD, SD, DVR and non-DVR customers by 2013 (or whatever date it was that passed us by already)?
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    If I look at the actual games in the guide, they all say HD.
  16. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I prefer simple, non-"think for you" remotes. I love Sony's fully learnable remotes. Every button is learnable and they last for years.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Here is what is odd. I use composite video to feed PIP on my TV. The composite gets shut off UNLESS the HDMI is active, making the idea of PIP useless. The logic for this escapes me. Composite is a crappy 480i signal and yet they shut it down unless I am using an HD output at the same time. I...
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    I have used the scoreguide a lot and not to check scores but as a simple method to find games on the system. It works pretty well for that. The only problem is that it is slow to load. Once it is up, it is responsive and gives me viewing options. If you use the scores at the bottom of the screen...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    Yeah, THAT's the reason. Hahahahahaha
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    Stop with that nonsense. Anyone who signed prior to the channel being launched is well beyond that agreement. The network has been up for almost three years (three this August). The exodus has already happened. Any continued exodus beyond August 2011 would be diminishing until it was a trickle...
