    Can not program remotes...

    Hello papalittle, The suggestions made by others are quite reasonable in attempting to fix your problem. I am curious as to the batteries in the remotes and the model numbers of the remotes you are using. There is an H25 but not an HR25. Could it be an HR24 instead? If it is an HR24 you...

    What day do you record the most programs from locals?

    Hello Iceberg, As of this moment (36 responses) there is a rather quirky distribution to the days that the most locals are recorded. No one responded in the affirmative for Friday or Saturday. I would think that viewing of locals would go up during the weekend. The results should be...

    TV Shows Is Currently Updating.

    Hello andrewj0781, When the Genie is first installed it takes a few days for it to accomplish many of the background functions and settle in for long term usage. My rule of thumb is to wait a week after a new piece of hardware has been installed to see if there are problems. After a week I...
