    The Masters Experience on DirecTV

    How to "Manual Record" From memory... Go to Manage recordings (or something like that) There should then be a manual option on the list (choose it) then you select channel, date, start time & how long to record then done :up

    So who here signed up for DirecTV HD Extra pack?

    Just said No on HD+ pack Had for the 3 free months let it expire, don't think I even tuned in 3 of the 5 channels. I have no desire to watch old movies (in HD or otherwise) so no use for HDNet movies & MGM HD. Universal has commercials and is basically reruns of other NBC offerings...

    Direct TV Salesman at Best Buy Laments VOOM leaving

    Amen :D Comparing Bose to the High End (No Highs, No lows... must be Bose) is akin to comparing McDonalds to a five star resturant (you might not know the difference but you sound like a real dumbass around those that do). Probably some of those same tards that think the earbuds that came...

    HDDirecTivo Now or Wait?

    No offense to you slacker, your post just happens to be on topic, but whoever actually reads the posting (8k? - I'm not searching through them for this post) from D* will find that in 2006 they will be taking a charge (accounting - against earnings) for the upgrading of equipment to MPEG-4...

    Customer's Who Are Rude And Want Everything Free

    D* signal theft lawsuits are based upon individuals purchasing grey market card hacking devices / services NOT by location! Please try to get your facts straight.

    Question About NBA League Pass & HD

    I am currently a customer of D* (which has NBA League Pass) and V* (which has TNT-HD) both of which I consider mandatory. I was thinking about switching to E* (that new 942 looks sweet) but I needed to know a couple of things first (and CSR's are generally clueless so I figured I would ask you...

    hdtv sucks

    I have been waiting 2 years for D* to get it's act together (Universal HD sucks by the way), I think 6 months is being highly optomistic.

    New Channels Added: - Discoveries & Fox Movie

    I am a VaVaVoom customer and I agree that there should be another tier that would allow someone to get all the channels w/o all the premiums. I also agree with the $20/premium is more than anyone else (but all four for $40/month is the same as everyone else) but they do actually give you at...

    Please someone tell me the real difference between Dishnet and Direct tv

    Depends on what you watch... If your into NFL (and will pay for ST) D* is the way to go (especially if your into HD). But if your into the NBA (and HD) then E* is the way to go (I think D* Not having TNT-HD is ridiculous) As stated elsewhere E* also has monthly porn. :D Both have a...

    Top THREE Pros and Cons of VOOM

    Self installs would be nice but the same company that did my Voom install did my D* install years ago (and also does E* installs for my area). If you honestly believe that a national company is responsible for every little problem you have/had with a local installer your going to have a...

    Top THREE Pros and Cons of VOOM

    Pros 1) Many Premium HD Movies Channels (with west coast feeds too) - I hate D* (and E*) only HBOE and ShowE nonsense - Favorite EncoreHD 2) Equipment - All outputs are simulatenous enabled (my D* IRD can only have DVI or component on at once - selector switch - and some units wont output SD...
