    You CAN get NFL Redzone without Sunday Ticket

    So I just did the "cancel... cancel..." bit. Made sure I wasn't auto-renewing for anything from last year, and gave the CSR a story about having a young kid, diapers, trying to convince wife, etc... Got the MAX package for 4x$36. Not bad. I took it.

    CE's for Christmas Weekend

    Did the CE last night. No Pandora or YouTube on my HR22 this morning. Just did the IAMANEDGECUTTER search, let's see if it helps.

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Hah. Yes. I know. As I said, it's good feature to have, but needs a better implementation. Having just the options of 2 hours or Off isn't all that great. So more people will just put it on Off.

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Okay. I can see this power saving feature as being really annoying. While the intentions are great, the 2 hour shut off isn't. Was watching football and wasn't paying attention when the prompt came up, but it just turned off my box. So, either there needs to be an adjustable time to turn off, or...

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Bah! Live a little! No risk, no reward! I've downloaded plenty of CEs when they were labeled high risk, and never really had a problem. They are usually "very high" when they add some wacky new feature.. in this case, it's the energy saver function. Not sure how that's going to work on the...

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    I just did it tonight, too, and it took forever to find the update. Searched for a good 10-15 minutes before my HR21 and my H22s found the 058C and 048C.

    Nomad First Look

    A couple of points... With all the apps that stream from the network and premium channels (NBC, HBO2Go, etc...) it seems silly to get the Nomad when these apps stream from anywhere. Also, at $150 for the device, I could just buy all the shows I watch from iTunes.

    Nomad First Look

    So is it also kicking in another 2-year commitment?

    Looks like I'll be staying up late and pulling a "Costanza" at work tomorrow (sleeping under my desk).

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Looks like they are disabling the player tracker. I guess they didn't do any QA on the different receivers before they released the new version?!

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Good call, Mike. That worked.

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Anyone else noticing the Sunday Ticket channels causing their boxes to freeze? I have a H21-200 and watching any of the channels for a minute or two cause it to lockup. Reset is the only thing to fix it. DirecTV's forums and Twitter account (@DirecTVService) seem to admit there is a problem.

    Bummer. So it's canceled for tonight?
