    Sure did, red button reset. If I press the remote control red button I do get the correct forecast on demand, but that's not the automatic Local On The 8s.

    Don't have a picture. Yes, I've noticed. They even cutoff the last few seconds of the ad running at the time.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Something's changed recently. When it is time for local on the eights I get both the local information and the regional information making both unreadable. This has been happening the past several days. My area is Tucson, AZ.

    Sure makes sense. Julianna Margulies had earlier announced she was leaving at the end of the season.
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've lost 1553. Get Channel not available message. Last week it was working fine.

    Don't they realize with such long breaks they lose the loyal followers. Mid-November to Mid-February, for example, on Grey's Anatomy. People will find something else to watch and may not return.

    Yeah, getting three people to cut three wires at exactly the same millisecond in time...a bit far-fetched. And how did they know which wire? And the wires they showed looked like they were going to the display, not the bomb. Otherwise, good plots and sub-plots. I particularly liked the ending.

    If you just look at the financial numbers and take the emotions out of the arguement, DirecTV is doing the right thing for its multitude of customers. All 18 million plus should not have to pay for something only a couple million at best want. If you insist on adding the emotional element into...

    My HR20-700 sometimes takes up to 20 seconds to respond when I press a number key to change channels. Other times it is johnny-on-the-spot. Aggravating, especially to my wife who starts pressing other keys. So far she has not thrown the remote across the room.

    Since PAC-12 commissioner Larry Scott signed Comcast Media Center to do all their production work, tell me how objective the man can be when dealing with DirecTV? A conflict of interest if there ever was one. Dave
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Actually, when I see the number on the screen I often decide not to answer it. The Do Not Call list is being ignored by more and more telemarketers. I was told a couple years ago that if your DVR detected you were connected to the Internet it would not call out. Somebody forgot to tell the...

    On my DirecTV HR20-700 there is no way to disable the DVR's calling out feature if you want caller ID. So, every hour like clockwork the unit tries calling out twice at about 5 after and 40 after the hour. So when I get my Sprint Voice Connect bill there are pages and pages of the 1-800 calls...

    Same here. Customer for over 10 years. Had an HR200 fail about a month ago. While talking to the rep I asked if there were any deals or incentives on the HR34. Nope. $299 to upgrade plus 49 install. I certainly don't understand the inconsistency. Dave

    I'd like the developers to remember that there are a sizable number of Android tablets in use also. Dave
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Betty White on TVland is the only show I watch. I know the experts all argue against it, but I believe that Carte Blanche would still be the best way. Sure, the providers would all raise their rates to protect their current revenue streams. However, market forces after a year or two would have...

    R.I.P., Richard. Condolences to the family. Dave

    I've been using Lenovo for the past 5 years and have no complaints. My current model is a G550 which Office Depot had on sale for $399 right before school started. LED display, Windows 7 64-bit, LAN and built-in wi-fi. Fast at booting up and has been completely reliable. Dave
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    This concept might make sense if it happened the first time you turned the DVR on for the day. But, every time you change the channel, press guide, or whatever... the annoying message once again covers the screen. Don't the people in charge get it, there is nothing to fix. We want to use that...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    One thing I've picked up from these many posts that DirecTV programmers haven't...shorten the time for the annoying SD message! Better yet, press any key and it disappears. This simple action would go a long way toward making users happier. And it shouldn't cost any programming effort, just...
