The Broncos @ Eagles game is on channel 715 for next Sunday but channel 715-1 says “to be announced” on the guide. If I am not going to be here and need to set that to record today, should I go ahead and do a manual record on 715-1 for the “to be announced” and hope it records the game, or is...

Does choosing to record from the guide versus setting a manual recording affect how the title of the recording shows up in My Playlist once it's done? NBA SPOILER ALERT – don't read further if you don't know already know the current NBA playoff standings (as of May 11). The reason...

Okay, I finally had time tonight to post some questions I have been wanting answered and this is my last. It is not important, but why, when you try to set a manual record in the HD DVR, does the start time always default to 05 after the hour or 35 after the hour? Who would ever want to start...

When I try to set more than one program to record in a series it won't take. It shows up under prioritizer but not in the to do list. When it comes time to record, it won’t do it. I have had one show recording in a series for months with no problem but it won't let me set a second one. There...

No matter what channel I have it on or what recorded program I watch, the front of the DVR always says 480i. If I get up and change the front to 1080i, the picture is much better, but as soon as I change channels or watch another recorded show, it goes back to 480i. If I could change it to...

I'm just curious if these games are blacked out on Altitude for out of market areas. There is no subscription package that I'm aware of for lacrosse so I assume they aren't. I've never watched lacrosse before but want to give it a try. I am fairly new to D* and can always wait until the...

I saw on some posts that there were "problems" with Altitude and Center Ice last year. I am new to D* and assumed that with a Center Ice and Sports Package subscription I would get to see at least 40 Colorado Avalanche games in HD this year since all of their home games are shot in HD. What...

Okay, so I just did another post called "All Recordings Deleted – Is an Update the Reason?" All the recordings on one HD DVR got wiped out and the other one didn't. It's a good thing I recorded the most important programs on both for backup. The DVR that has the recordings intact is...

On 09/21 I got a message that said: We've updated your receiver with new features: One touch record Focus your guide on HD... Improved speed... Game search... A few minutes later I went to my list and everything recorded and set to record was gone. Basically, all my settings went...

Google searches are providing conflicting information about which format is best. I have recorded the same program from both (i.e. HD-Net 79 & 306) and personally cannot tell the difference (although I only did it once). I guess that is the only answer I really need, but for people who are...

D* and Sunday Ticket are new to me. I cannot watch games on Sunday (work related) so I'll need to record them and watch them another day. Someone told me the Sunday Ticket package is a pain sometimes because of all the extra features that keep popping up on the screen. I assume they mean the...

I have no telephone wall jacks near my televisions. I also have a typical cordless phone setup where I have a base unit and several handsets. The D* installer said I can get an adaptor at Radio Shack, Walmart, etc… that will allow me to put the handsets near the televisions and hook them to...

Another newbie question. I noticed some of the games on the program guide show up in 6 hour blocks even though most games (MLS) are only two hours. Since D*'s HD DVR does not allow you to set exact recording times (I think), how can you avoid recording all six hours when you only need the...

I just got a new customer install on Wednesday (08/14) with D* and paid to have the MLS Direct Kick package. However, when I tune to those channels they are blank. Is that normal? I know there are no games scheduled until Saturday, but when I had this package with Time Warner (via indemand)...

I have a new customer install set for August 8. When I called to set up service the CSR told me an extra HD-DVR would be $199.99. However, the HR-21 at my Costco is $149.00. Since these receivers are a lease no matter what, if D* won't match Costco's price can I just buy one from Costco and...

First off, I of course know I can't get HD on a standard television. The reason I ask this question is because I have a new customer install on August 8. I told the CSR I wanted two HD-DVRs but she told me existing customers almost always get a better deal when they upgrade and it would be...

First of all, I am now a D* subscriber (not quite since the install is next week). When I signed up today the CSR recommended that I wait 30 days before adding an extra HD-DVR because the cost would be $199 when I signed up, but they frequently offer a much better deal to existing customers...

I've seen recent posts where people are saying they are getting things like free Superfan, four months free DVR service, four months free HD service, coupon books, 2 free HD DVRs, a free year of Showtime, etc… all at the same time for being a new customer! I called tonight and all I...

My plan was to get two HD-DVRs and two regular non-DVR receivers when I signed up but somebody told me a DVR counts as two receivers and therefore I could only have two per dish. Is that true? What do I do if I want to follow my plan? Do I need two dishes? If so, does it cost more to install...

Are any of those channels from Hindi Direct or Hindi Direct II in English or are they all in an Indian language only? I assume they are a mix of both so I guess I'm asking what percentage of the shows seen on any of those seven or eight channels are in English? Thank you.

I've read on this site that you do not need a land line phone unless you want pay per view. However, someone told me that you need to have a land line phone when the installer comes to set up service. Something about the installer needs a land line to receive the initial downloads when setting...

I know they did from 2002-2007, and that they renewed for the 2007-2008 season, but was that a multi-year deal or will we have to wait until right before the season starts in October to find out if they will renew again? I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before switching from cable...

The thing that tipped me over the boiling point with TWC is their horrible handling of Center Ice and Direct Kick. There have been numerous occasions over the past couple years where games didn't start on time, games got cutoff early, the screen would go blank halfway through and stay that way...

I read somewhere that DirecTV will try to extend your contract for any little reason they can think of: If your box goes bad and they send you a new one; If you upgrade from an SD receiver to an HD one; If you subscribe to new programming; If they have to come to the house and repair anything...

Another of the many reasons I want to switch from TWC is because they show religious programming up until noon on Sundays in my city and they don't have national feed options. That means if i.e. a major sporting event is scheduled in the morning, they are not going to cut-in to the game until...
