What is going on with Showtime. Same program on 6 different channels. Checking the guide and it is that way throughout the week. Might have to call and ask for a discount as I dont need 6 of the same channels.

According to another forum it has to do with the storm that hit New York

I noticed that yesterday also. I guess they ran out of crappy reruns so they put the same thing on several channels. Has anybody flushed the guide to see if that helped?

Thought I'd check the forum before contacting DTV. I'm resetting now. In light of the fact that Showtime is the only channel -- paid and otherwise -- to claim a weather-related programming problem is a pretty lame excuse.

Thanks for the info it saved me a phone call.

Yeah, because it's not like 80% of Long Island, where they have their control and uplink is STILL without power and people are waiting on lines for hours to get gas. Blame LIPA for giving hospitals, police/fire stations, nursing homes and schools priority over an uplink facility for a premium cable channel. And this has happened before, FSN did it during Hurricane Rita when they had to evactuate their Houston uplink.

Seriously? Sandy flooded a lot of the east. Have a little heart & understanding. What's lame is you being up in arms over something so small when people lost their lives and homes.

I am truly sorry for the furor my post has caused. Though I think you might have misinterpreted its intention, I certainly can see now that I should have worded it a bit differently. Aren't we all guilty of that at one time or another? Believe me, I am not heartless and insensitive. I have friends and family on the East Coast, and I know the pain and suffering that Sandy has left in its wake. I have no idea from where the Showtime feed originates. All I was trying to say was that I didn't understand why Showtime was down if all other channels were up and running.

Again, my sincerest apologies to all for my post.

I have 3 DirecTV DVRs and I just noticed today that they are all behind by 1 hour. My computer, iPhone and iPad also lost an hour. Has anyone seen this happen before?

 

[Howie]

Duh. I didn't even know it DST again. I feed stupid now.

I applaud this post. Well said this time.

I take it you didn't do anything that relied on the correct time all day Sunday.

There are still about a half-dozen clocks around my house that don't switch the time over automatically. And one nasty clock radio that still thinks we change times in October and April.

It's not so bad in fall, worst case, you're early.
