I am sure this thread and these items have been brought up before, but I could not find them all in the same thread. So I apologize in advance for that and thank anyone that can help me.
I bought the machine almost a month ago and DT just swapped it out and hooked me up with the new dish yesterday.
I recorded a few local HD shows last night and went to watch them and after 7 minutes, it locked up and I could not go forward or backward. Then the show that was recorded directly after it was just a grey screen. I played back a few other shows I recorded and they seemed fine, except that I cannot use the fast forward button. When I press it, it just locks on a screen and the screen moves about a second forward, then backwards, repeatedly. The 30 second skip button works well, as do the backwards buttons, but the fast forward is the only one not working. But this function works well while I am watching live tv.........
So is this glitch fixable by a download? and if not Who do I get a new machine from, best buy or DT?
How can I set shows to record to my prioritize list?
Is there a way to get info manually downloaded to the machine? Tivo allowed you to make the phone call yourself to get data and updates.......can you do that on this because my guide is only showing a few days in advance right now.
Obviously tivo blows this thing out of the water, but I basically have to make this work. I appreciate anything yuo guys can help me out with.
Thanks and sorry to waste your time.
