I'm trying to enjoy this show but between the Discovery channel logo and the giant stupid countdown timer to the finale I might not finish. The logo is one thing but the timer is just obnoxious. :mad: Between the 2 it takes up 1 sq.ft. :rant:

Not to get off track but I thought you didn't need to have the recievers hooked to a phone line. I have never had mine hooked to one and was never charged for it.

I understand all I will be using is Dtv's cable as noted in my last post. If you buy and install your own equipement do you get the discount for the first year as a new customer?

Hey guys thanks for the answers I figured out the composite hook up dilemma, I found a Composite A/V switch for under 20 bucks that i can hook everything into. My dad is cmpletely clueless about electronics so the fewer buttons and controllers needed the better. I'm still hoping to get some more...

Ok heres my question. My dad lives in an apartment, a few years ago I convinced him to ditch cable for satellite, the people he called was Dish but the guy came out and wouldn't hook it up because there was nothing to ground to, so he called Direct and that guy came out and hooked him up no...

I have Netflix, is the current season of Breaking Bad going to be available immediatly or do I need to wait to watch trough Netflix?

I never got an email or anything either. The only reason I even called was because I read this forum post. Just call and act like you want to cancel, and if you qualify they will offer it to you, took me 8 minutes on the phone.

Ordered mine on the 2nd or 3rd and just recieved it. It is B stock and it is tiny, pretty much the size of a hockey puck. Now to figure it out.

Just called the 1-800 number on my bill pushed all the right numbers to say I wanted to deactivate service, was transferred to a csr and asked her what happened to AMC. She gave me the rundown and offered me a Roku player and explained how it worked. I asked if there was anything she could do...

Well that settles it besides watching Eureka and Warehouse 13 SyFy can kiss my white midwestern ass! I hope the bastards choke on wrestling and the stupid ass ghost hunters!!!!

I guess i have to hope they show these again since I didn't know they were new!! Go figure. It would be nice if they quit fing with the shows!

She's one of the morning news anchors.

I'm glad it works for you, but it don't work for me. I can record off of both if I'm sitting there and do it manually but not if I have timers set.

Also make it so when I have something set to record on a Dish channel and one to record on an OTA channel at the same time that it can actually perform this task without constantly messing up the OTA recording!!:rant:

I'm using a WD my book essentials. I also noticed when replaying recorded ota shows that I get a chattering sound like the noise made by the creatures in the movie Predator.
