Does anybody knows why there is no clock display on any set top boxes for Directv? Mostly all Cable TV have a time display on the in front of their boxes. Why not satellite tv?

Ok, I need help with that one. Please explain that!
He said he liked them separate so that when they added one, it was easily noticed. I just told him we didn't need that, we had the SixtoReport.

Honestly, I've seen more problems with that method. Even he gets frustrated when his parents will tune to the low number SD channel instead of the HD.

As for a clock, I turn down all my LEDs, so would there too. I had enough trouble with my Eye of Mordor record light.

I usually find a lit clock very distracting near any TV, and that was always the first thing that I'd turn off, same as I do with the lights on every DirecTV receiver.

Boot, turn the lights off, go ... it also helps to know if the box has been re-booted for any reason (because the lights will be back on) ... and it's optional so it's there for those that like it.

Tv messages and banners aren't enough huh? Separate channel number is terrible, IMHO.

I wear a watch.

(and have a pendulum clock on the wall, a "smart phone" on my person, and a laptop on the table next to me)
I've got a wall clock above the TV.....

In the same "rack" with my DVR is a VCR AND a DVD recorder..both of those have clocks that are set to "--:--" LOL

There's a wall clock in the den which adjoins my family room, I can see it from the couch.
