    nfl sunday ticket

    Ok, so I reset the power to the swim and reset our living room hddvr and a hd box. The hd box gets the game mix and steelers game. the hddvr does not get game mix but the steelers game is coming in now. Does that make any sense? Thanks everyone for the feedback/checking.

    nfl sunday ticket

    Is anyone else having trouble with nfl sunday ticket today? The game mix, and all games do not come in. It just sits on the screen with the directv logo. But all other channels work perfectly.

    Volume control

    Hello, I just had DirectTv installed a week ago. One tv LG, when you hold down the volume up or down it keeps going up or down. On my Samsung tv you have to keep hitting the volume button...as pressing and holding goes down 1 notch. Is there a way to change this?

    1080p and 3d options

    Is only ppv available in 1080p? Is there a way to search for 1080p programming? Are there many 3d options? What is your take on it? I've been to a 3d movie in the theater, 1 time but that is it.

    New Customer Direct TV Setup Question? Tv at each box?

    Thanks, I may need to ask the installer about that. So I take it the hd receiver will run in one of the resolutions that my monitor will handle like 1680x1050? Thanks. P
