WTF ... Sunday Ticket Game "Cancelled"

having 42 posts, surely you've read the COUNTLESS threads about people having problems recording sporting events from the sports subscription packages.... really not that surprising IMO. had it happen to me at least a half dozen times. is it a problem? most definitely, but its nothing new.

I did this for the first time today (Tried recording a game off ST). I recorded the Raiders-Arizona game. Its showing in my VOD now and not as cancelled. How did you set up your manual recording??

No, you watch football semi-live. One game in each buffer using the 30 second skip to jump between plays. Then switch to the other game at commericials.

Oh, wait, the HR20 won't do that.

Okay Okay..
No piling on here...

Yes, there is an issue... and a trend at least has been identified by our forum users. I sent the links onto DirecTV, and hopefully will here something back soon.

I have to record my ST game every week (Colts) because I work during the day, and watch it when I come home in the evening. Been doing this for a couple of years, and never had a problem. Is this related to a specific reciever or all recievers?

It's the HR20. I'd suggest those that have the problem go to the HR20 specific forum and add their thoughts instead of here in the general forum.

actually, the OP started this thread in the HR20 forum, and one of the mods/admins moved it here... not sure why though.

Who are you, "Marvin" from the DirecTV ads?

The technology is there...I make use of it. Yes, there are games I watch live or buffered, but a real football fan makes use of the ability to watch more than one or two games.

I pay for ST and SF and I make the most of it.

Who Dey!

Not Pittsburgh...

Now, if you have ST and SF...just watch the short cuts. Whole game in 30 minutes. It's Fantastic.

Who dey? A bunch of thugs and felons. Your coach loves them, just like the Lewis felons at Baltimore.

Look at the ring over there <<<<<<<<<<<<

It does not say been to the playoffs one time in the last 30 years.

Let's see...yes, I can make it out. It says, "Our record is 2-4 and we lost to Cincinnati this year. Stop living in the past"

Nice.

Maybe you'll finish above the Browns this year.

I was only playing. On any given Sunday any team can win and any team can loose, that's why they play the games. Don't get personal like the last thread where a joke was made, actually that time I got carried away..........

LOL... OK in all honesty even tho it counts you know you pulled that one out of your ass. We man handled the Bungles all day.

The turnovers cost us.

Nothing against the Bungles, I will admit they are a real good team. But the Steelers have been winning this division almost every year for the past 30 years so please offer some kind of respect for a team that has won 5 Super Bowls (should have been 6) in the last 30 years. Thx.

Not to mentione the division almost every year.

We all love our teams and should show mutual respect.
