    . . .has jumped the shark. I just turned it on and, so far, I have heard The Archies, The Rolling Stones, Left Banke, and Stevie Wonder. Finally, Buddy Holly.

    NBCU is apparently a minority investor in TWC and that is exactly how they regard it. NBCU does not see TWC as an important core business unit.

    It is the current SD receiver. I'll be getting an HD receiver in the spring after the leaves are on the trees. The dish will have to be moved since the neighbor's tree is now in the LOS.

    D12-700. I just replaced an old Sony.

    I go to the guide. Then I press the yellow button. I select "Sort programs by category". Then I select "sports" and select "football". The sports guide then says it has 500 programs and shows all sorts of football related programs. Pre-game, post-game, team shows, high school games, pro games...

    So far, it has not shown a single bowl game. None. At least, when they are on live. It does show the times for the replays.

    I have old versions of apps that still work fine with IOS 4. When the updates came out, the updater told me that the updates would not work with the older IOS, and to not update the app. On the other hand, some providers, including D* don't give you that option.

    Trees used for paper pulp are grown as a crop like any other agricultural crop. Using these farm grown trees for paper is actually less damaging to the environment than recycling paper. Using the land for tree farms probably is better than any other use. The trees are a better carbon sink than...

    I found another reason my old Sony receivers were better than the new receiver I just got. They had user's manuals. My new tv didn't have a user's manual, either. Based on this sample size of two, I have concluded that electronics manufacturers are no longer including manuals. :sure: I find...

    The dish heater linked to previously has an LNB heater as an add on. My experience has been the opposite. I find that ice/snow build up on the dish to cause more loss of signal.

    You are correct. I have several older versions of apps that still run on my first generation iPad, even though the latest versions of those apps can't.

    Two points. First, it isn't Apples fault in app writers update their apps so that they are not usable on old iPads. Second, I am very happy that Apple doesn't follow Microsoft's policy of making everything infinitely backwards compatible. I have a first generation iPad. It is obsolete. I will...

    I'm not sure I understand. I know the keypad will be at the bottom of the remote for the new receiver. The keypad was not at the bottom of the remotes for my Sony receivers.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The number key pad is at the bottom of the remote. I find that makes it hard to operate with one hand. Every one of the numerous remotes for various tvs, and vcrs have the key pad in the middle or at the top. I'll be getting used to a new one soon when the new receiver arrives.

    I can tell you something that is better with my old Sony than my mother's D12, or my brother's variety of receivers. It is the remote. The new remotes are an absolute joke.

    I'm going to be in and out for the next few weeks. May as well have the account suspended. I don't know when I would be available for delivery of the replacement receiver and I don't want it left on the porch. As of 8:52 AM CST, the old receiver is still working.

    Oh, I've been getting e-mails and on screen messages for months. I just wanted to see what happens when the old guide is shut off.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It is coming to an end tomorrow, Dec 13th. I haven't updated yet because I wanted to see what happens. I got an e-mail today saying that I had suspended my account.

    Rustoleum NeverWet I haven't tried it, but there is a picture of a dish on the packaging. The third review on the webpage raves about.
