    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    This isn't what caused the problem. It affected just about all Mazda OEM receivers. I didn't switch anything while it was updating. Don't feel as if YOU did something wrong. Sirius sent out something which crashed our receivers. I'm just glad it's working right now. I hear some of the...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Getting more fed up. Just sent this email to Mel Karmazin: Mr. Karmazin: I recently wrote you concerning an update Sirius sent which has disabled a large number of Mazda OEM receivers. It has now been 2 weeks and we still cannot listen to Sirius in our Mazda vehicles. Honestly, this is...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Don't waste your time pulling a fuse, disconnecting the battery or anything like that. Don't waste your time going to the dealer either. They can't help you either. Sirius is the one who must initiate the fix and nobody seems to know what that fix is. I think it's a bit premature to think...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Uh yes. I spoke with Jim Meyer who is the President of Sales and some other things. I emailed him directly and received a phone call from him and I have exchanged emails with him. So, I'd consider him in the know wouldn't you? Anyway, we're now 2 full weeks without service. I really wish...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Being as I've been dealing with this in other forums and have spoken with people in the Sirius upper management I feel I can chime in. First of all, this IS a Sirius issue. Is it happening with only our receivers? At this point yes. However, the receivers worked fine until SIRIUS pushed an...

    New Channels, Includes TCM

    I don't care about any of these channels. I did, however, notice TNTHD lately. Haven't read the other posts here so sorry if it's old news. I also want to see Disco HD and National Geo HD. I don't care about HDNet.

    Rumors anyone????

    Alright, I'm excited. ;) It's easy to get excited with the lack of stuff coming from CV these days. Still happy with my service, just would like to see the extra channels available... The Rickster

    Rumors anyone????

    Anyone even have any rumors about any new HD channels? I've not heard of anything in FOREVER. Even a rumor might get me excited. :) How about the usual, DiscoveryHD Theater? Would still love National Geographic HD. Many others want other channels. Are they EVER gonna add anything worthwhile...

    Problems with SA 8300 HD cablebox

    Well, I've pretty much given up expecting the thing to actually do all of what it's supposed to. I have dealt with CV trying to figure out (mainly) why I cannot for the life of me have it record just first run programs--ANY first run programs. In order to get all of the shows of any show I want...

    Optimum Online speeds are NUTS in my area

    Hmm, 3535kbps up and 1575kbps up. I've got a brand new cable modem. It's through my wireless router though. Maybe it's slowing me down too much. The Rickster

    8300HD Stretch

    So we had the cable dude over to fix low levels and look into my unability to record first run programs. I wasn't home. When I got home I noticed everything is stretched now. I asked my wife what he did and she told me he said he was, "fixing," it so it fills the screen. ARRGGHH! How do I get...

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    Well, no joy on the rebooting part. Still no first run (only) recording. We're about to move into a new house. I'll have more time to mess with it once we're in (we're in the same neighborhood so it's the same service). Thanks. The Rickster

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    I really don't think it's a PG issue with it not recording first run programs. I've NEVER been able to get it to record using that feature. I've got to make some time (hopefully today) to reboot and try again. Otherwise, I'll ask for a new box. Thanks. The Rickster
