I have to assume that sometimes people split up, and the person who moves out was also the person whose name is on the DirecTV account. If the dish and equipment remains behind, and the person who remains in the home wants DirecTV service, what do they do, other than to call up and sign up as a...

Ah, OK... so to watch the same exact thing that's on TV in the den, I wouldn't rely on the Whole Home sharing functionality at all.

Apologies if this is not the correct thread for this question... I'll be getting an HR34 in the near future. I'll also get the whole home networking hooked up. If I wanted to, could I play something and have it display on 2 TVs at the same time? I'm thinking of putting a small TV in the...

Wow... THAT is the worst experience with technical support you've ever had??

Stupid question alert... When is this cinema connection kit needed? If/when I add an HR34 to our account, we would have 3 HR2x DVRs (all HR21 and higher), along with the HR34. Would we also need this cinema connection kit? We currently get the OnDemand stuff just fine..

That's what she said.

So I see in the release notes that they are sticking with the stupid change that prevents you from pausing whatever you're currently watching if you're in the guide... Who the heck would logically expect the pause button to start playing whatever show you happen to have highlighted? Other than...

But that is exactly what they do with their signal 24/7, isn't it? If the satellite companies start inserting their own ads or something, then that's something else. Maybe the law should be written such that the satellite companies would need to split any revenue from local channels with the...

It still makes little sense to me that a local station that broadcasts its signal freely is allowed to charge for cable or satellite companies to re-transmit it back to the same market. It's not like Dish is taking the New Orleans FOX signal and sending it to Alaska viewers - it's...

I didn't know they made it smaller, to be honest. I find it just as easy to read as the older version, even when I'm 30+ feet away (I do have a 73" screen, however.)

Wow, I feel the exact opposite - they could shrink the font sizes down in order to fit more information per screen and I'd love it. Of course, ideally there would be a toggle for this in the Settings screen, so that those with smaller TVs, or who sit further away, or those with worse eyesight...

I don't see why local affiliates should even be allowed to charge cable and satellite companies to retransmit their signals, as long as the signal is rebroadcast to the same market.

Well, on one level it's ridiculous, but DirecTV didn't HAVE to support RVU at all... so in this case, you aren't any worse off financially than you would had DirecTV stuck with the requirement to have a receiver for each TV. Financially, it wouldn't make much sense for DirecTV to NOT charge for...

Right, I understand what is RVU compliant now and in the very near future with the Samsung TVs. I'm wanting to know if anyone knows of any other devices that have been rumored or announced, such as streaming devices like the roku, or Blu-ray players, etc. I figure a lot of people are happy with...
