  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    By The way I think a Phone Call would work better than a tweet. Just my opinion FWIW. Cheers Roger
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hi Personal opinion here and I could be wrong by I am speculating that the reason You are not doing better is the Sunday Ticket. To put it another way I suspect that they pulled up You history and it showed You take the Sunday Ticket every year, Do You? And as a result they feel You are more or...

    Hi So far it has been decent for me too. This is pretty much what I see every time I test within a couple of percent.for the Optimum 101 level. Have a Good Day TBoneit
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi Not to mention that the HR may die and that will take all the recordings with it. Good Luck TBoneit
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    HI My Viewpoint on watching commercials is simple, and it may be the posters reason too, I'm guessing. Why I do not want to watch commercials is simple that my time to watch TV is limited. Watching Commercials means I can watch less show. Thus Commercials = Bad, Not being able to skip them is...
  6. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi FWIW DirecTV has these problems and My Cable company has had problems too. There is no escaping it unless You use a OTA antenna for locals. Good Luck TBoneit

    Hi Why not get a DVR from Comcast for the duration? I would get one from Optimum if I did not already have a way to record CBS from the Cable HD broadcast. TBoneit
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi You will most likely lose guide data and should set a manual timer just to be safe. I will be recording on a Hard Disk Drive DVD recorder in the Highest Quality setting and just in case I set a recording last night to record the block from 7:58PM to 11:05 PM on WCBS via cable. The next time...

    Well if the Pull of WCBS, NYC is going ahead I guess I will go through the Guide tonight and set up my Timers to record them in HQ to the Hard Drive of My DVD Recorder. The Quality is very Watchable for being SD DVD resolution. Hopefully They will blink and settle. Cheers TBoneit

    I think that they did not expect so many to be troublesome. TBoneit
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    IMO Follow the money, Advertising us more important than the programs to the distribution chain. The NFL and the other leagues could also not have time for the advertisements figured in. Look at NASCAR, do they stop the race for commercials, No they keep racing. And if something happens during...

    Thank You nmetro That answers my Question. I am guessing that it means midnight Thursday. That means I have nothing at risk until Monday with NCIS LA and then NCIS & NCIS New orleans. I am not watching as much CBS as I used too. Cheers TBoneit

    Hi I missed it if it was posted, but what date mightthis happen, I need to set up timers on the DVD Recorder in advance. Thanks TBoneit
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi Good Point. Since the shows can't get good ratings why not do reruns after sports. I can only guess they are tired of those shows and hope this kills the ratings. I know I am not setting a 4 hour timer just to catch a 1 hour show that actually runs about 43 minutes. Cheers TBoneit
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi I live in the NYC market, I would be a little impacted in that I would have to either watch live in HD or record it in Glorious DVD resolution. I have Basic Cable too and can watch it on all the TV sets or record it on my Magnavox DVD recorder with Hard Disk Drive. So what I would do is set...
  16. Legislative and Regulatory Issues
    Hi Stewart Thank You for the reply. I do think they should be required to accept all ads as long as they meet FCC guidelines. They are using the public airwaves after all. Best Regards

    Hi Tim As I understand it there is no such thing as a HD capable satellite, They all just send back to earth what is uplinked to them. Thus the oldest Satellite if still in service could serve HD. Cheers TBoneit
  18. Legislative and Regulatory Issues
    Hi On The Other Hand would You want them to be able to refuse Ads from one of the political parties? Or in a market what prevents one party or the other from buying all the available slots besides the expense. Are Political ads protected against that? Cheers TBoneit
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I think RFD TV is against it Too as well as the AT&T Direct TV merger. Found the link: http://www.rfdtv.com/story/25591691/mergers

    True, But in my case it would mean wear and tear on the USB ports and since for what they do the Internet is fast enough. I do know how the wireless adapter can affect speed. that is why I have 802.11ac in the router and on the Computer. Cheers TB
