Thanks DodgerKing for the link and your experience. It is disconcerting to get these things. It is as if one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. For now I'm staying on autopay and hoping for the best. If the HD charge appears, I'll be on the phone.

... who got the email saying that if we stayed on autopay we would get 2 more years of free HD, Did you get a postcard saying you were going to lose your free HD because you weren't on autopay. I checked and it says enrolled next to Autopay in my account. I can't enroll again.

Got it. Very happy about it.

Thanks for that info. The following mini-rant is not directed at you: I'm glad to hear that DirecTV is working on it. I wonder why they have just NOW put it on the KNOWN issue list? I wish that they would believe their CUSTOMERS sooner. While some customers are ignorant and out to complain...

The fact that it started misbehaving the first time I turned it on after a software update was my first clue. Then using 2 different DirecTV remotes with fresh batteries was my second clue. The fact that those same remotes work fine to control the TV are another clue. Now hearing from others...

I forgot to mention I have the problems with 2 different remotes with fresh batteries in each. That's why I know it is on the receiver end and not a problem with the remote itself. Two remotes don't go "bad" on the same day.

I've been having trouble with my remote on my HR24 ever since the update that added energy saving. I got that update Feb 16. Sometimes my remote is fine. Other times it does not respond to multiple presses. Sometimes it goes crazy and scrolls through the guide (or whatever else it was on...

If we truly do get the ability to stream DirecTV on other devices over the internet, will it be for an additional fee? I wonder. To early to tell or to seriously speculate.

Thanks. I didn't remember that the lists were pre-set.

I just got the HD Guide today. I found that Scrubs on WGN had 19 in the Cast and Crew listing. Some shows have less and some shows have no Cast and Crew listing at all. P.S. I just double checked and the bio info is gone. Now when you select a name it finds other programming that person is...

Finally got the HD Guide this morning. So I figured it was a good time to evaluate my favorites lists. I have two, one of which I want to delete. Editing them or renaming them is no problem, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to add a new favorites list or delete an existing...

It this were Mythbusters, I'd give that a "plausible".

If I click on the banner which says channel 501, it takes me to channel 603. HR24.

Thanks, raoul5788. Yes, they use it way too much in my opinion as long as there is no option to disable it.

I have an HR24 and an H23. I've searched, so if this has been asked and answered, apologies in advance. I've looked through the menus and can't find anything. I find the messages useless and annoying, like ads. I hate it when that big yellow "new mail" flag appears because it means I'll...
