    The episode that you use as a template for a series link gets recorded regardless of the First Run setting. Fortunately, most people only run into this behavior when first setting up SLs on a new box.

    A lack of LOS at the new home would mean that D* or E* could not fulfill their part of the contract, which would be a breach on their part. In addition, requiring the consumer to select a home that has LOS to fulfill the contract might considered an unreasonable burden on the consumer. In...

    Nope. One of my boxes just changed to 7/14.

    I just forced on of my HR20s to look at channels from 103 sat by recording 2 Starz channels; therefore, it should be getting guide and potentially date/time info from 119 sat. This box's date changed to 7/14 around 11:10. Similarly, I forced my other HR20 to get its guide data from the 101...

    We know that guide data is provided from the 101 or 119 sats depending on what channels you have tuned. I would think it is safe to say that the date/time info is sent on both 101 and 119 as well. If only one of those two streams started sending the incorrect data/time then we would see some...

    Just noticed that one box thinks today is Tuesday 7/14.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Same here on both my boxes. In addition, the recorded movie we were watching went to grey screen with no audio.

    Ken S already provided the legal term that most likely applies to this situation: conversion.

    I did not get the impression that 1080p is being sent via sat in this press release. Sounds to me like 1080p upscaling is being done in VOD.

    Name-calling is usually the least effective method for making a point. A different point of view does not indicate a lack of understanding. Only that we disagree. Going out of business is certainly not the only outcome if the merger had not gone through. Some other suitor could have acquired...

    You are not saying anything I do not already know, and it does not change my statement.
  12. Sirius XM General Discussion
    If you check the proposed post merger rate plans and channel lists published months ago (and republished recently) you will notice that The System is not listed. Here is a copy on one site. You will need to scroll to the XM plans, which are after the Sirius plans. The System should be listed...

    Goodbye XM 82 The System. :(

    While I have not used tversity, I will point out that the same issue exists when using WMP as well. I do think that correction of this would have to be done within the HR2x. The HR2x needs to preload the next track instead of requesting it when the current track runs out - if the media share...

    I think it does. Especially considering the original audience for which the snapshot term was used. There are many people reading this board that have had no training in physics, orbital mechanics, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, or even advanced math. Sure, they wanted to know what TLE...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am surprised no one has put together a small program that checks for new TLEs every few minutes and then notifies them when a new one is found.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Many people would agree with you that doing a reorder of the channel number assignments is need. However, the details of doing that get a bit messy. Just as CNN has a contract for channel location so does ESPN. Therefore, with ESPN locked in starting at 206 and CNN taking 202 and 204 there is...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thank you, PoitNarf I also meant to mention that the higher traffic CNN gets could be a result of a higher degree of brand awareness, not just the lower channel number.

    The ratings you are talking about are the type used for any other program on Television. Those ratings are geared towards how many people watch an entire show. In that case, you are correct that Fox News has the highest ratings. This number is the one we are all familiar with and the one most...

    Did someone say bait?:D Do we need some bait to get get D11 to move to 99.225? I have never been bait for a sat before though.
