Got an email yesterday that the Blockbuster DVD by Mail was being discontinued. I liked that I could get Bluray versions of movies and TV shows. I have had the cheapest plans with both Netflix and Blockbuster for several years. Even though streaming is nice I still prefer having a disc to...

It was a Beatles song. :doh:

Well I ended up with 30 episodes with no repeats.

I thought about the higher priority issue so I moved it to the top of the list but still no change. I ended up just going through the guide and setting all the missing ones manually.

I thought about the repeating episode thing since I didn't start recording until 1:30PM. I do have it set to keep all episodes. I went through the guide and didn't see any repeating. The wierd thing is that it shows all episodes set to record up to 11:30PM, skips 4 episodes, and then shows...

I am trying to record the Twilight Zone marathon. I have selected both types and record all but it only shows 14 set to record when there are 3 times that many coming on. I can go through the remainder of the episodes and hit record but I shouldn't have to do that. What is the issue?

I think I've had it 2 or 3 times now and couldn't tell you a single channel that's included. Glad to hear somebody actually watches these channels.

That's the thing thing that somewhat frustrates me and probably lots of others. We got DTV in 2009 and at the time I remember getting Choice Extra because there was 1 or 2 channels that I wanted that wasn't in Choice. I believe it was ESPNU which wasn't in Choice.

Satellite installers did not invent the requirements for proper grounding. This is established by the NEC. The very first article in the NEC states that its purpose is to safeguard persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. Proper grounding is a very important aspect...

Which app are you referring to? The only dtv app I have for iphone is for scheduling recordings. You have to purchase additional hardware in order to do streaming.

That's what I get for trying to economize and not start another thread. The topic of the thread applies to my previous HR23 which lost its ability to transmit anything in HD. I had to get it replaced. Sorry for the confusion.

I will try and take a picture of it tomorrow. I did see the post about taking a picture this afternoon but it was too close to my Sunday nap time. :)

I don't know what dish I have. Maybe it is a Slimline 5 and the Satellite setup is set for something else. When I went through the setup after getting my replacement HR23, I was on the phone with the CSR and just did what he said. Should I go through the setup again? I don't want to screw it up.

I thought that was where I was checking. It's the list you get when you select "more system info". It says Slimline 5.
