    You CAN get NFL Redzone without Sunday Ticket

    So I just did the "cancel... cancel..." bit. Made sure I wasn't auto-renewing for anything from last year, and gave the CSR a story about having a young kid, diapers, trying to convince wife, etc... Got the MAX package for 4x$36. Not bad. I took it.

    CE's for Christmas Weekend

    Did the CE last night. No Pandora or YouTube on my HR22 this morning. Just did the IAMANEDGECUTTER search, let's see if it helps.

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Hah. Yes. I know. As I said, it's good feature to have, but needs a better implementation. Having just the options of 2 hours or Off isn't all that great. So more people will just put it on Off.

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Okay. I can see this power saving feature as being really annoying. While the intentions are great, the 2 hour shut off isn't. Was watching football and wasn't paying attention when the prompt came up, but it just turned off my box. So, either there needs to be an adjustable time to turn off, or...

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    Bah! Live a little! No risk, no reward! I've downloaded plenty of CEs when they were labeled high risk, and never really had a problem. They are usually "very high" when they add some wacky new feature.. in this case, it's the energy saver function. Not sure how that's going to work on the...

    H21-H25 & HR20-HR24 CE Release 11/25

    I just did it tonight, too, and it took forever to find the update. Searched for a good 10-15 minutes before my HR21 and my H22s found the 058C and 048C.

    Nomad First Look

    A couple of points... With all the apps that stream from the network and premium channels (NBC, HBO2Go, etc...) it seems silly to get the Nomad when these apps stream from anywhere. Also, at $150 for the device, I could just buy all the shows I watch from iTunes.

    Nomad First Look

    So is it also kicking in another 2-year commitment?

    NFL RZC asking if I want to purchase

    Special One-Night CE for 9/15 -- No Weekend CE's

    Looks like I'll be staying up late and pulling a "Costanza" at work tomorrow (sleeping under my desk).

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Looks like they are disabling the player tracker. I guess they didn't do any QA on the different receivers before they released the new version?!

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Good call, Mike. That worked.

    Sunday Ticket causing boxes to freeze

    Anyone else noticing the Sunday Ticket channels causing their boxes to freeze? I have a H21-200 and watching any of the channels for a minute or two cause it to lockup. Reset is the only thing to fix it. DirecTV's forums and Twitter account (@DirecTVService) seem to admit there is a problem.

    Bummer. So it's canceled for tonight?

    MLB EI deals

    I was hoping for another deal like that sweet one some of us got last year, which basically netted MLB EI for free. Unfortunately, I don't think $150 is worth it. I watched MLB EI plenty of times last year, but not enough to warrant paying that much.

    Still Torn Between Uverse and Direct tv

    Despite the rain fade, I still love DirecTV. It's far better than Uverse, which is nothing more than a glorified DSL line. Uverse can't handle more than 2 HD streams into the house and they compress the heck out of the HD signal that comes over the pipe.

    HR20 thru HR23 CE Release 6/11

    It probably won't record or playback either. You're going to have to go back to the NR.

    HR20 thru HR23 CE Release 6/11

    This update pretty much made my HR22 useless. Can't play, record or delete. Switching back to the NR of 0x3DE

    Instructions to get MRV (whole home DVR) activated for ethernet

    Well, I went the email path and got MRV back. Still kind of stinks we have to pay $3/month extra for it. But, my wife and I are hooked on being able to watch recorded shows in the other rooms of our house, so we'll pay.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Hah. DirecTV always has deals and retention things going on. I think this was a deal they were offering to current customers for retention. It's just that someone on Slick Deals, who was called directly by DirecTV, posted the number that showed up on their caller ID. The numbers probably route...

    H21 / H23 CE Release for the Weekend of 4.9

    Still the same issues as last week? I guess I'll pass again.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Glad you got the deal, too, Talljoel. It's a pretty sweet deal, and I've only had DirecTV for a little more than a year. I'm hoping that by watching all these games I can finally have a decent fantasy baseball team this year. Hah.

    MLB Package

    Found a slick deal that basically netted me MLB EI for free: DirecTv MLB Extra Innings + Choice Xtra + Showtime and Starz for $59.95 for first 3 months. Continue with Choice Xtra and MLB for rest of season for $63.99 per month. - SlickDeals.net Forums

    H21/H23 CE Release 4/2

    Yah.. real awesome to lock up during the Yanks - Sox home opener. I'm reverting back to NR.
