I have a strange issue with trick play after I go back to a 2D channel from a 3D channel. Whenever I go back to a 2D channel, my TV turns off 3D mode like normal (there is a quick black screen flicker while it's doing so), and then I see another quick flicker of the screen (channel banner...

If you pause the channel, you should be able to hit your down arrow twice (first time brings up the Double Play message, second time switches to the other tuner) and tune to any channel you want, and then hit the down arrow again to go back to your original paused channel. When you go back to...

Ahh yes, that makes sense. I misread the original statement at first as they had already paid for it as part of the new agreement and could add it at any time.

Ohh that Scott.. he's always cooking up something good ;) And.. does that mean that we should expect to see Epix popping up sometime in the near future as they are paying for it anyway? Dan

DirecTV has confirmed that Epix is the holdup in this whole situation. DIRECTV Viacom Updates "Viacom’s current statement on our negotiations is completely inaccurate. They made a proposal last night for our carriage of the 17 channels they pulled from DIRECTV and we accepted all material...

DirecTV has turned Encore on for everyone it appears.

I would hate to be a CSR right about now, I know that much.

I think Iceberg had them all. There definitely aren't 26 on DirecTV. The only one I think Iceberg missed was MTV t3es, so 16 total.

It certainly did seem to come out of the blue. TV Land has the Viacom crawl plus the DirecTV crawl running at the same time now. The DirecTV crawl stating "It's unlikely but Viacom could suspend this channel on July 11. Please see DIRECTVpromise.com. Viacom, who owns this channels, wants you to...

I have a spare R22-100 and it does the same exact thing with trying to force a download. It will say Searching for New Software (04D1) and the numbers will increase for about 15 minutes and then it will reboot. If you try it again, it will do the same thing. Any other receiver model seems to...

This CE seems to have fixed the direct channel entry lag issue that re-appeared for me after last weekend's CE. Always a plus. I had forgotten how annoying that was. Dan

I just got around to watching some of my TLC recordings from this week and it's definitely still happening. On the 6/7 - 9:30pm recording of "On the Fly" during the 2nd commercial break of the show, the last two commercials were a DirecTV Movers Connection commercial followed by a DirecTV Cinema...

It's funny because the PPV commercials never bother me. I understand that DirecTV needs to advertise events to make money. It's the nature of the business. All providers run PPV commercials. Most of the stuff I watch is DVR'd anyway, so I never have a problem just skipping right past the...

This is a strange issue that I have been noticing off and on for the better part of two years now on TLC. It usually happens on a show airing during the 2nd half of the hour (x:30-x:00) and when it happens, is seems to always be the next to the last commercial break in that half hour (the one at...

"Press play to play all of the shows in this group in order" has been there for a long time. Here is a picture of the playlist on the blue GUI I found on the DirecTV forums from a post dated May 2011: http://forums.directv.com/pe/RepositoryFileDownloadServlet/10877178/Playlist.jpg Dan
