Yes a reboot fixed it, forgot to follow up here. I should have tried that in the first place anyway. There was a software download early this morning so I am guessing that is what caused it to get flaky. Sorry jtwex, there are no series recordings set on the DVR so I cannot say if the issues...

Is there any reason why when you go to the Manage Recordings menu that it lists how many items are in the To do List (39) but when you click OK to view it it says "None"? Never had this happen before. On a side note, you can view previously recorded shows. EDIT: Also noticed the History...

I have not messed with it in about a month but I remember it being very slow loading. Also, if I was to tune one of the programs in the bottom right box, current popular programs or something, it would always tune to the program in SD. Let's say you tuned to a show that happened to be on the...

Thanks for the replies. I will call them and let them know it is on their end somewhere and post any info I get.

Are any Mac users browsing with Safari having a problem with the guide DIRECTV: TV & Pay Per View? I started getting this weird double spacing going vertically. Like the network name on one line and the channel number on the next. Actually, let me post a screenshot. I emailed support about...

I decided to not terminate the unused port on the splitter since it has been fine thus far, I am not sure why they would not have used a copper clamp though. I can't blame the tech for grounding to that pipe though as the service entrance and ground rod is maybe 40 ft. if you were to go over...

Here are the pics, sorry about the poor quality but it is dark in the crawl, overcast, and freezing outside. I will end up re-routing the coax run from the dish into the attic in the spring to eliminate the run down the siding.

Been playing around with the HD-DVR for a for a few hours to get a feel for things....Sooo much better than TW's software IMO. Got DirectvToPC running but only messed with it for about 10 minutes and VOD is still loading up it seems. Checked in the attic and the dish mounting base is secured...

Well, I figured the installer might reschedule due to the weather....sub zero wind chill and a little snow here and there. Anyway had a 12-4 appt. and he called about 11:45 and arrived about 12:30. The install was for a 5LNB dish, 1 HD-DVR, and two SD receivers. He brought.... Slimline...

I'm guessing you did not read my second posting to this thread.... I figured there would be a few who took my original post the wrong way which is not what I intended to happen.

Thanks for the responses.... Yes, I plan on letting the installer show up and speaking with him about how he plans to do the install. I am not automatically expecting him to do a bad install, quite the opposite actually cause he is supposed to be the professional. I know these guys are...

Hi all, great forums here with lots of info! We are scheduled to have installation the Monday before Christmas. There are two things that are bugging me. First will the installer even show up? I called in to get the name of the installer and it was "Skylink". I know nothing about them...
