    DIRECTV Down?

    I'm getting the "your guide hasn't updated in 4 hours" so I reset (red button) and now I have "acquiring guide data. Thanks for your patience." I wasn't sure if it was my system or more widespread. Thanks for the info!

    HR24 DVR programs mysteriously disappearing

    TCM HD coming July 19th

    I'm quite happy to finally get TCM HD. Looking forward to Forbidden Planet tonight. I even thought the women's prison flicks that they're showing today looked great in 1080i. :cool:

    Warning for New Installs

    This is my first post, but I've been reading the forum for about three years. I also took the advice and brought in a local guy who's been in the install business for 35 years (he started out doing roof antennas in the 70s). His install was custom and awesome. I had a nightmare with the regular...
