Thanks Lucky!

If I have unexpired HBO on demand shows downloaded in my 'rentals' section, and then cancel HBO...can I still watch those shows until they expire or will they expire immediately after I cancel?

I hope it works for you!

So I'm scared to ask, but have they fixed the :29/:59 thing yet?

This won't fix the problem for good, but for me it is a lot easier than rebooting the Hopper. What I've found is that if you switch to a non-HD channel, the audio will come back...then I can return to whatever I was watching. I always switch to ESPNU when this happens and it fixes the problem...

I have a very similar problem. When I'm FFing a recorded program, sometimes the audio will go out. I THOUGHT the only way to get it back was to turn off my receiver and then turn it back on. I've recently discovered that if I switch from my recorded program to an SD channel, the audio will...

One additional thing I'd definitely change is I would NEVER have it ask if you want it to do an update when you're watching a recorded program. If they aren't going to change the update time (for some reason) at least let it be smart enough not to interrupt watching a RECORDED show with a giant...

Everything else is perfect to me, but these things are still annoying: The ridiculous :29/:59 pixellation. Why can't that be fixed? The fact that you can't change the update time. Lack of bookmarking. Used that all the time on DTV. Can't control shows while on the guide screen. If you're...

(...along with bookmarking)

This is the #1 thing I wish they would fix, but I don't think they will since as far as I know, Dish DVRs have never done this. It is one Directv feature I really miss.

I've been having this problem since I got 234 also, and it is VERY annoying. Glad it is happening to other people though (but sorry you're having to go through it!). I use the 30 second skip between plays during football games, so needless to say, Sunday was very very frustrating for me...

Yep, this is a really annoying feature, especially on really long events like football games. My wife recorded hours and hours of Olympics coverage this summer and since the recordings are so long, they were rarely finished when we needed to change the channel. Then we had to start over and...

It wasn't PTAT. I don't have that enabled yet. (Although it strangely happened at the 2 minute warning of the Cowboys game for me too, Mark.) I set the timer on my own though.

I'm almost positive that last night my Hopper removed the 60 minute extra time buffer from a show I was recording to help resolve a recording conflict. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, this needs to be changed! I'd much rather have a chance to reschedule something that will be rerun...

Wow, those were three quick answers! Thanks. Do you think Dirt would submit #1 and #3 to their design team? Those aren't major flaws, by any means, but it would make things more convenient!
