YAWN!! Defensive much? I must have hit a raw never that someone else must have already hit you with before. LOL

I agree with Jimbo. (his words) sounds like the kid is either running the show or (my words) has the TV as a sitter as opposed to adult intervention or outside social interactions.

I have 4 kids and they get a MAX of about 1.5 - 2 hours a TV and/or PC and an adult manages that time and the changing of the channels.

They are outside or doing chores or attending their after-school activities.

As for the Special Olympics remarks; you are an insensitive tool and God help you if you ever have a special needs family member.

I won't dignify you or your God with an answer... Instead I'll take the same approach I take with my wife when she's being ridiculous and simply ignore you.

Actually that's not fair... I don't always ignore her... Last time she asked me to please try to see things from her view point... I went to the kitchen and looked out the window... Didn't change my mind at all...

Have you tried to use the "My Directv" suggestion folders ?

What did D* have to say when you asked them about how this Viewing thing was suppose to work ?

Posters are up for every show, if you have the child set to select channels, this should not be a problem.

I find the Search in the D* recvrs work very well.
Why not find shows he like and Record them, then he has a Playlist of his own, with pictures and can choose what he wants to watch at any time.

How old is this child ?

I haven't, nor do I intend to ask D* about it... That's why I asked here, first and foremost to see if it was just something I was missing... If it's not, then hopefully it's coming... If it isn't even on the plate (not sure why their page says that if not) then maybe they'll see the mention and at least consider it for the future...

As for the posters (that are displayed to the right in the guide) that ONLY works on the DVR... On the standard HD receiver (with 0x576) there are no posters that display... In fact, the "My DirecTV" isn't an option on non-DVR receivers either... I presume this is because there is no internal storage to download and store the posters on.

As a feature, that's why it would be nice if in a "whole home" setup, the receivers could "connect" to the main DVR and use the posters stored there for this purpose...

And my son is 4...

I did not know this ..... Seeing I only have DVR's now, I guess I wouldn't have any way to see the difference.
