  1. DIRECTV Programming
    In the past I recall watching some of the films that are in contention for an Oscar, and DIRECTV offered them for free or cheap. Can't seem to find such now. Still around, and where to look? Or is my memory playing tricks?
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If HD programs come in fine, but UHD ones don't I'd check the hardware first- HDMI cable, LNB's, cable in from dish, signal strength of the sat. which handles 4K. Good luck!

    Wolfman- I looked over the last few pages- didn't see a post from you. What problem(s) are you experiencing?
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yes.
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Not just where located, but Channel #, time and TV model, along with STB specs. Locals can be screwy sometimes, but if it's across the board, that'd be something to latch onto.
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    Dod- Good to know!!! Whether interested in Pac12 or not, the article is very well written, revealing and interesting.
  7. TV Show Talk
    Indeed. Diff strokes; diff folks. I am just grateful I now have no need to mess with physical media. Partly due to not liking any one show/movie/video to need to be sure to able to see it again. Partly due to availability of streaming and DIRECTV®.
  8. TV Show Talk
    For those of us lucky enough to have true broadband, Netflix, Prime, etc. give plenty of access to old shows, though not all. I am pretty certain I will never buy another DVD or BRD. Maybe a 4K player, and a few disks, though I doubt that, too.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I cover the remote's transmitter and hit Off. The RF turns off the client or DVR, but the IR blast doesn't reach the TV. If using a client, there's precious little need to turn the unit "off". It's one minuscule light. You hit the Pause/play button fast- the pause is so short many will not...

    I'd strongly recommend putting the old remotes in the closet. The new remotes are fine, and once you have spent time with them, they are quite easy to use even in the dark. RF means you can point them anywhere. To delete a show I FF to the end, choose Delete, and I am done.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've not experienced that message since I first set it up. You can get the firmware number for the '54 right from the menu on the C61K.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Are both on the same network?
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    RE: Physical media. I merely stated why some of us don't want physical media, not that there weren't tradeoffs in terms of PQ.
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    Here's why: some of us don't want to own any physical media anymore.

    It's more likely to be poor tagging of the shows that keep repeating. Otherwise, they all would. I think the content originator (or reseller) is responsible for putting correct info in the correct place but, well, there's the rub. If DIRECTV® is responsible for the correct tags, I'd be surprised.
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I was speaking only to b4p's situation where he's already watched the series.
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Wouldn't deleting the entry in the Series Manager do the trick?

    RR: You really should state exactly how you set your recordings...

    Millions of "decisions" huh? How bout naming a 100,000? No? 10,000? 1,000? 100? OK, name 10 (ten) decisions we make per second while driving. I use Macintoshes, and only poorly written apps have crashed. Losing connection? Yes, but that's Comcrap's weak signal. Reboot? I do so once a week to...

    Your premises are far off base. No human makes millions of decisions per second (and many don't make that number in a lifetime). And many computers have performed at 100% accuracy.
