    Help ! 80+ yr old ordered DirecTv, installing SD right now - shouldnt be HD free instead?

    Thank you for the suggestion, and I do intend to do so. Unfortunately, this is only one piece of their chaos right now, so I have not gotten to calling or emailing DirecTV yet. I hope to get there after work either today or tomorrow, and call from her home, with her present ... so we can get my...

    Help ! 80+ yr old ordered DirecTv, installing SD right now - shouldnt be HD free instead?

    That sounds like a wonderful, respectful and customer centric practice! Anyways, all said and done, they do have what they agreed to accept ( SD ), but they do not have what they expected. Big let down for them, and very confusing for them, and i'm sure for many that are not familiar with what...

    LG LM6700 - Need Antiglare overlay - Recomendations?

    Received and am using. My opinion ( your mileage my vary ) It sets on the front of the tv easily since it has about a one inch lip on the top. The lip has four little offset rubber like feet that help it grip the top cleanly. The front hangs relatively close to the surface of the LCD and does...

    Holy cow. Local framing company wanted 800$ for the matte/anti glare acrylic !! So far, other local locations checked do not carry. The online prices looking better all the time, as is the "tv-protector" ( recommended by KAB ) for its total shipped cost. (BestBuy also sells this as a market...

    322 not responsive how can this happen?

    any chance that if one remote is in, lets say, tv mode ... and he is holding the other remote ... and presses sat ... that the receiver could refuse to respond? and related ... anyway to disable the "other modes" buttons ? If un-solvable, then may very well need to do the suggested service...

    322 not responsive how can this happen?

    When this happens the other two tvs on the same receiver work fin on their UHF remotes. I saw him put fresh batteries in to one of the ir remotes, but can't say if they are weak for certain. He has been unplugging the receiver and then plugging back in to get it to work again. If it is...

    Hopper - How to record new release movies on premium channels

    We already have SHO for the original series content. Based on your comment, maybe one compromise would be to just add HBO to get a healthy addition of both new releases and some original content. That path would be cheaper than netflix for us. The question at that point would be whether or...

    Hopper - How to record new release movies on premium channels

    Now that would be very useful, and perhaps could be helpful as a selling point for switching to premiums too? ( of course a feature that utilizes that would not be very hard to build on top of it ... something like "Hollywood Pass" ) Anyways, could we get close to that functionality by...

    Hopper - How to record new release movies on premium channels

    I was trying to decide if dropping netflix ( we get two blue rays a week of new releases ) in favor of The Everything Pak made sense for us. Ignoring the cost diffference,was thinking about the integrated convenience. The primary reason we would want to add the premiums is to catch new releases...

    Hopper Just installed Yesterday. DIRT: Add me to the list of users that can not set a timer from the guide for an ABC ( WSET ) affiliate while PTAT is enabled. Also, I agree that the icon needs to change for a PTAT program that also has a timer. This is really important to us, for useability...
