  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    For one, the cable and satellite companies are forced to carry the networks not the other way around.
  2. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have all my receivers on a wireless N network that is its own network. I could easily detach it from my core router and it would be disconnected from the internet. After reading these threads though, I am more and more sympathetic to what D* did here. I always thought it would be a little...
  3. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Yeah it took me quite a number of reps to get through before I got one to handle it. In one case the rep was so far off the track I just hung up. What I don't understand is who set up the ethernet network for the OP with six devices in the original post? That is the person who should have...
  4. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I agree that in a general sense Directv managed this very poorly. That being said the beta and people using their own equipment was not even a supported thing and will not be supported. So people doing that have to have some knowledge and understanding to get to that point. It didn't happen...
  5. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Funny enough me today! I was futzing around with an idea to actually finally use directv2pc, but since I use a mac I was going to mess around in VMware a bit. All of this just brought back horrible memories of why I never really bothered with it. Besides not supporting multiple monitors the...
  6. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I am having little luck. I sent an e-mail in last week and never got a response. Got one CSR today who tried really hard and was helpful but could not get it done. They passed me on to tech support and after several times away, and working with her supervisor they decided it would not work...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    All three of my hr-20s lost guide data. Rebooted them all and they all came back. Now I just checked one and it was gone again, so rebooting that again. Can't check the other two right now due to people sleeping in close proximity.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am constantly recording stuff too. For those brief times when know a sporting event is on or something I don't want to be spoiled, I simply hit mute first. Even on y 65 " living room tv I can avoid looking at the PIP box. Most of the time I am watching stuff though,, thus what I am...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah and you could spend 3 hours between changes in programs on the tivo with those extended lists. The reason why D* limits it to 50 is because it is an overhead nightmare to manage more than that. I know I had a tivo with 168 season passes on it. It became worthless at that point as making...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I don't know this is any more profitable for them, in terms of the sale of devices. What it allows them to do, though, is maintain control of the devices they have to support in people's homes. Essentially it eliminates all kinds of support, installation and package issues that you have when...
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah I met a bunch of them at the Super Bowl in 1996. The Steelers fans are the biggest cry babies in the league. In fact I pretty much detest any sports team/fan from Pennsylvania. :) As for A Detroit Lions remote, I think Matt Millen has one for sale on E-Bay.
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Yeah count me in. I have given it a good college try, but it is not even worth messing with under the current circumstances. I should not have to break the usability of my computer set up to run a piece of software. As for this change being worthwhile, I suspect if you compared people with...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    All three of mine just rebooted on their own within a few minutes of 5:20ish central time. Just like a few weeks ago.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    All three of my boxes now just rebooted at the same time just minutes before 7:00pm CT. I hope this was something they did intentionally.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    All 3 of my Hr-20 700s locked up at the same time last night, and now again this morning/afternoon.
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I find both these more useful than DLB, personally.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    $1999.99 with only a 3 year $39.99 a month commitment per receiver. If you are a good customer expect up to 10% off!
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Ah okay...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I will caveat this with I am not able to check in here every day, so it is quite possible I missed this change along the way. I was always under the impression that if you moved an external esata drive from one box to another all the data would be lost? I just got a replacement box because my...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Marginally so, unless you live alone. I have 3 HR-20s and I don't have anywhere close to 150 available passes to record. Other people also use these devices, so in some cases we have the same program recording 3 times. Once MRV is implemented, this will be true, but until then or again if you...
