    I was having the same problem. Installing Adblock Plus for Firefox seems to have fixed the issue for me.

    Could the Chips fire have anything to do with it? I don't see how really but I also don't know what would make just one area's locals go out.

    You can set the channel to auto tune and it will wake the Joey up. Just act like you're creating a series timer and switch it from dvr to auto tune.

    I realize that Soapnet is going off the air eventually but my vote is to keep it on as long as possible.

    My only Joey is hooked up to a Tivo in the bedroom. I set it to auto-tune a show every morning. It's only been a few days but so far it's been waking up.

    Shame indeed. He gave me a price for one dvr and one standard receiver. I realized to work the way I want it to I'd need a second standard receiver for the other Tivo. When I called to add that I discovered he had never included the first one. Instead of an extra $7 I was looking at $14 more. I...

    I see, that's good news. Thanks again!

    Thanks Ray and James for your help. If I understand correctly I'll only have one tuner in HD? The only way to have two in HD would be to get a stand-alone dual tuner DVR?
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    I did read up before ordering and as long as the receivers have IR it should work. I explained to the Dish rep what I needed. The only thing is he said I could hook one of the Tivos up to the DVR and use it that way which surprised me. Like you said, Boba, no OTA with these Tivos and they are...

    PokerJoker- there are two t.v.s, one is HD and the other SD, so no Hopper. Not sure what model dvr they are sending but it is a whole room one. I like my Tivos! They will be good for handling recording conflicts. mdavej- Your experience makes me feel better. Thanks for the responses.

    I ordered Dish today, install is next week. I've had Directv in the past and was happy with the price and service. Unfortunately I have no LOS here for it. Currently I have Comcast and while they are better now with promos, those promos aren't always available and customer service can still be a...

    If it's at all possible, please try to get that Comcast discount in writing. I'm only saying this because after moving to a heavily treed area I had to switch from D* to cable. Even though I wasn't angling for it I was referred to retention when I mentioned how much more expensive Comcast was...

    veryoldschool- Thank you. I will try those other departments.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    1.I didn't have much choice. I'm on disability and after the new owner raised my rent by $165 I had to move. It took 5 1/2 months to find a halfway decent place that I could afford and allowed me to keep my two cats. Much as I love D* it couldn't be a deciding factor. 2.I understand but it...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I moved last week and three installers (2 from D* and one I hired) all said there is no line of sight because of the trees. I'm renting so cutting them isn't an option. Today I called to cancel and was told I still have to pay the early termination fee! I have 7 or 8 months left on it. I wound...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The place I moved to is heavily treed and a rental. The installers didn't show up for the appointment yesterday- turns out they canceled it because they came by on the 11th and found no line of sight. Since I wasn't living here at the time (just moved in on the 17th), they're sending someone out...
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    Is that KREN out of Reno? I've seen that channel show a black screen for over a minute, or switch to a commercial while the program is in mid-sentence and then jump back into at the same point. My main problem is that Supernatural (and other shows but that's what I mainly watch on the CW) has...
  18. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have surge protectors. As for the reformat solving my problem- well, it did solve the problems I was having at that time (live t.v. freezing, programs not recorded, etc.). But as I said in my post I'd rather not have all my recordings erased again. And what's the point when problems just...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    Wow, thanks for the heads up! I just checked and I get the channel now too. I still have Total Choice Plus. On the other hand, even though I've always found horse racing exciting on it's own... it's also the only thing I've ever enjoyed betting on. And since I can legally bet on it online...
  20. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Sorry if it's been covered before but this problem is a new one for me. Last week I recorded two shows on my 300 and only one was in my playlist. In history both shows were listed as "Not Recorded". (Yet I was able to watch the one in my playlist) Last night I recorded a movie on my 500 and...
