    The guide didn't show anything being broadcast, said to be announced I believe. Tuning to it anyway didn't bring up the game. The Friday Cubs game is in the guide, so maybe it'll work now. It definitely was an issue for multiple games.

    I’ve not really been active for a while, but thought I’d give this a shot. Lately, I’ve been having trouble with Fox Sports Cincinnati, Reds games aren’t showing up on the HD feed, which is 661-1. SD is fine on the main 661, our RSN is only part time HD. The guide says TBA for tonight’s game...

    Keep in mind though, if you ever need to replace the Genie, none of the recordings on the external drive will be playable with the replacement. In the past over the air recordings would have worked, but since the HS17 doesn't support the AM21, that's out.

    Not impossible to own, but I think it's rare enough that I can see a CSR think it's impossible. I've actually had an installer here on the phone with support and hear them talking, saying things like "I don't know how, but this is coming up as owned."

    It’s not necessarily a two year commitment, that’s dependent on if an installer is required. Moving to a genie system would require an installer though.

    Just a reminder that Mr. Mercedes, based on the Steven King series will be on the Audience Network starting August 9. Though oddly enough, it's still not in my guide.

    Anyone else see this over the weekend? I strongly recommend going to a theater, the biggest screen possible. Extremely well done!

    That and when they have you go through troubleshooting steps that you know won't do any good. "Plug it in in another room" etc.

    well, there's died, and then there's 'died'. They wouldn't even bother tying to turn it on, they'll just check the access card and move on.

    Me too. I don't know if it's AT&T reps that don't know, or a policy change.

    They still might be taking them if there's an installer involved swapping out a box or upgrading the system.

    It used to be that a previously owned (but free and clear) receiver could be activated on a different account. I've heard talk that this has at least become more difficult. I have a couple of owned boxes, right now I'm just going under the assumption that I wouldn't be able to sell them if that...

    They can't go all cloud because of varying Internet capabilities. Not everyone has the option of broadband, particularly rural areas. Then you have the issue of data caps.

    Yep, back in 2012 I had a HR34 that was running about 142-145 and got the warning. Worst part was I'd not seen that before I'd installed it and started entering all my series recordings. Had it less than a week :)

    It has it's uses. Our local USL soccer team broadcasts their games on a local channel, which is no good on DirecTV. Bad quality. Bringing it up on YouTube and Chromecasting it, much better quality.
  16. Legislative and Regulatory Issues
    We'll have to see actual smartphones that put it in. Myself, I'd have said no major phone, because there's little point if it's a phone that no one really buys.

    Only about 3 years after Stuart considered it time. Solid Signal Blog - Time to retire the ACTIVE channel?
  18. Sports Programming and Events
    Game moved from ESPN2 to ESPN.
  19. Sports Programming and Events
    Wow, this is really happening. My USL league soccer team, who defeated the Columbus Crew in a Lamar Hunt cup match will play the Chicago Fire at home, broadcast on ESPN2. So far we should be up to about 26,000 seats sold, check it out Wednesday night to see how things go in Cincinnati :)
