    Genie Tuning to Customer Information Channel

    I have a Directv Genie setup. I have noticed recently that my receiver is tuning itself to the Customer Information Channel (201). Appears to by happening if I power off and comeback later. The last channel I was watching is not on, channel 201 is playing. Any thoughts?

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just did an online chat and ended up with free Roku. I am on the Welcome Package, so I really didn't expect to get a credit. I had to transfer to an account specialist. 1st person claimed I didn't have AMC in my package. Said it would arrive in 3-5 days.

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I have been generally happy with the mail service. We usually don't watch more than one Blu-ray per week, so by the time I watch a movie and mail it back, I don't notice any delay. My issue is with the streaming service. Downloads are too slow. Lately, if I pick something to watch in HD, it...

    Big Ten football championship game?

    I wasn't talking about basketball, was I? I was talking about football, where it is a fact that Penn State is a bigger draw Pitt. 75,00 people showed up 3 weeks ago to watch scrimmage. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale have more national titles than PSU also, but who cares about 1915. You need to...

    Big Ten football championship game?

    How many sellout games has Pitt had at home since the last time PSU was in town? Not too many, you could probably count them on one hand. They should be happy to get one game with PSU at home. Guaranteed sellout. They could even make people buy tickets for 3 games like they did last time to...

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    There is no set time for the uplink! It is the same crap every week. "Where is the uplink?" It happens at different times,as somebody with over 2,000 posts you should know that.

    Anyone else using redbox??

    Remember though that it is $1 per day, not $1 per movie. And if you have it for more that 2 weeks, you bought it.

    Battlestar Galactica -- Season 4

    If they are going to get in with the natives, they can learn from them were to get food, how to hunt, how to farm. They don't have to live off the land in all cases. Some obviously will because they are going where there are no people, but I think a lot will try to coexist with tribes or...
