  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I watched the 19-inning reds-phillies game earlier this season when it went over 6 hours and there was no interruption. It seems to me that the switch to the directv logo is manual, since I usually see it right after the local post-game show ends. Obviously there's an extremely small sample...

    I think last night was the first game where we only had one feed for the Phillies game and it was the Phillies home feed. I didn't actually check the SD channel though, guess that could have been the Dodgers? This doesn't seem to be an issue any more, at least for now.

    Friday was TCN, all 3 Nats games were CSN (according to mlb.tv). I'm guessing Friday's wouldn't have been on EI regardless of the MLB Network, since no TCN games have been on EI so far this year. Still don't understand why that is, but it seems like too many to just be a coincidence since we've...

    As usual I was stuck watching the whole Nats series on MASN, so I wasn't even checking the EI channels. The more games I watch with opposing teams announcers, the more I like McCarthy and Wheels. They're no Harry and ******, but they're not bad. So I saw that last night's game was going to be...

    Why does the game being on The Comcast Network mean that it won't be on EI? From what I can recall and piece together from this thread and the archived games on mlb.tv which shows the channel each game's home and away feeds were on, I do believe that none of the TCN broadcasts have been...

    I believe we also got the braves game 2 Sundays ago. That actually makes 3 of 6 road games that I could have seen, not counting the Saturday Atlanta game (Fox) and the Nats series which were blacked out where I live. I guess it's getting a little better ... we got both games this weekend, and...

    Thanks. Of course if I can't rely on it staying in the guide through game time, I'll still have to record both.

    I'd still have a problem, but it wouldn't be as big. Then again, if I'm setting the recordings ahead of time, I normally set both channels anyway (which leads to my question below...) What do you go on to determine which feed you think is the Phillies home feed? Unless I'm missing something...

    Yeah, got to see the home team broadcast today, which was nice, especially with a win. Although IIRC last season, Sundays seemed to be the one day we usually didn't get the home feed, at least not in HD. I remember a few times where of the 4 channels - home and away, HD and SD - the one with the...

    So far I've only been able to watch the home feeds for the Phillies twice- Friday and Sunday. It was only occasionally last season that only the away feed was available, but nowhere near this often. I can get over having to listen to the other teams announcers, but the practical problem is that...

    Just got the replacement yesterday, they gave me the same model, an HR20-100. I didn't have time to set it up last night, partly because I was gone most of the evening but also partly because I need to figure out how to set this one up to start recording but keep the other one connected in order...

    I'm not sure but I might not have had 480 selected as one of the resolutions in my DVR settings.

    Particularly if you know that someone else with a similar problem has been able to get through to someone willing to help the customer. You shouldn't be penalized just because you haven't been as lucky to have your call answered by the right person. Like I said though, if I had not gotten help...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I thought you HAD to use HDMI for 1080p? I only have one 1080p capable display (my projector) and I've used it with Blu-ray but can't remember if I've even tried it with my DVR because I use still use component for the one that's connected to the projector (because I run the HDMI to another TV...

    One of my TV's was damaged in a lightning surge a few weeks ago. At first, it wouldn't turn on at all, the next day it turned on but with no sound (my HT receiver was fried so I had to use the TV sound), and by the 3rd day it was generally working ok, but it wouldn't display any picture from my...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The one they're replacing for me is an HR20-100, she didn't know which model they'd be sending me but she did ask if I used OTA and I said yes, so it would be a model that has an input for that. I'm not actually using it right now but I just got the SWM installation done for MRV so now I have a...

    Thanks, that was my backup plan, although if they had referred to the notes from the previous call then I might have had to come up with some sort of story. I think both people actually were familiar with the eSATA feature, and the first one even understood what I was saying about isolating the...

    One of my ESATA drives, along with the enclosure, (and along with a long list of other stuff in my house) was fried by a lightning surge a few weeks ago. Everything else with this DVR seemed to be working fine, but it took me a while trying to troubleshoot what was wrong when I tried to connect...

    Thanks, I'll try it today. I was kinda busy with other things while watching so didn't notice that. If it weren't for the above suggestions, I would refuse to purchase the package simply on the basis that I HAD to consciously remember to do that in order to avoid the screen saver. The fact that...
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    So, is it by design that the screen saver kicks in every few minutes? I had this channel on last night, and while I had no intention of purchasing the package at first, I was seriously considering it after watching the game mix and a few games I was following. Then, later on in the evening, I...
