    New Genie UI now in CE testing

    I guess it depends on the size of the screen. When E* had the 3-hour guide I had no problem reading it on my 50" Panny at 8'. Looking at the pic that CSM posted, it looks like they have since reduced the time because they added the station logos along with the channel and put the program info...

    New Genie UI now in CE testing

    I want an additional hour and a half. The ability to see what is on between 8PM and 11PM without having to scroll forward in half-hour increments.

    Picture freezes on live tv HR44

    Yes. It worked fine, after the HR44 was replaced, until I got the Oxba9 software - I think that was in June. Just got the Oxba9 this week so I'll see if that makes a difference. I was surprised to get the new update so soon as I'm always one of the last to get them. I'm not so sure I would put...

    Picture freezes on live tv HR44

    My HR44 started doing something very similar until they came out and replaced mine a couple of months ago. When the tech came out he immediately said it was in the HR44 and didn't have a problem replacing it. Now it's back. I'd say it happens about once a week. It usually happens when I pull up...

    Office of the President Problem

    Since the merger with AT&T, none of my old contacts with D* work anymore. Try this link. http://elliott.org/company-contacts/directv/

    Can you still "move" to NYC and get the east networks?

    I can't seem to locate the D* spot beams for Virginia. I'm 2 hours south of D.C. (Charlottesville) and want to receive those channels but I'm not sure I'm in that spot beam area.

    Can you still "move" to NYC and get the east networks?

    Doesn't that send up a red flag for D*? Do you tell them that you have two homes? Don't they have a way of telling whether that service address actually has D*?

    Manual series recording question

    I've found the easiest way to do this is go to upcoming shows and then select the ones you want. You'll have to do that twice a month, but it beats deleting show after show.

    Genies Have New NR - 0x0987

    It looks like my year and a half effort to get this added has finally paid off. I just hope this is for all channels and not just a few.

    Apparently, TheBlaze TV is asking for too much money to be on DirecTV...

    I don't think it has been posted before, but its in AT250. ;) A pet peeve of mine.

    Maybe it has to do with the receiver? I don't know why that would make any difference, but my guide is full days in advance. I have a HR44.

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    Mine resets in about 5 minutes. Isn't the HR34 the one with the freeze issues? Never had a freeze on my HR44, and that has been over a year.

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    Not to sound cynical (obviously I am:D), but this post reads like a commercial from Dish. It doesn't take 15 to 30 minutes to reset the DVR. I've never had a receiver from any provider that takes that long to reset. I know some have experienced freezing problems, but to hold off getting a HR44...

    Nothing about season. I mentioned episode numbers when I first started talking, but mainly stayed on the OADs. Call her: 1-866-785-5517 X29240 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 9:15 AM - 7:15 PM EST.

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    Received a call (31 minutes) from Tammy at the OOTP. She has no idea why the OADs are not showing up. She gave several reasons why she thought they were missing, and then I explained why I didn't think that was the case because Dish has them. I told Tammy about my conversations with TMS and how...

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    Thanks. I gave them my number so I'm hoping someone will call. I felt like joining the conversation over there, but dealing with that one guy (extremely frustrating reading his responses), well, It'd be easier getting through to one of my oak trees than communicating with him. It's better for...

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    Hi, dalyew. Yeah, its football season, so that means I record 3 30-minute shows M-F from my RSN. Should be 15 total timers. Setting those shows for first run, I now have 85 timers for this week. So I'll delete those and go to the guide and select each one individually for each day. I could do a...

    Turns out her email account is no longer valid. Then I tried this and keep getting; A problem has been encountered. Your question could not be processed. I even tried a test send and got the same response. They know I'm coming! :biggrin2

    I tried calling Veronica but the number is no longer valid. I must have sent her into retirement. :biggrin I sent an email to the OOTP (Ms. Fillipiak sp?) so I'll see if I get a response.

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    As ejb1980 said, I spoke to three different people at Tribune Media Services last year and they all confirmed they send the exact same info to all providers. The OOTP did not know why the episode numbers or OAD (she didn't know what that meant) are being left out. They must have had some...

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    I got the same responses you did a year ago on this forum. I spent several months dealing with D* and this issue. It boggles the mind that when you are trying to accomplish something that would benefit everyone, you are met with such stifling resistance. It makes absolutely no sense.

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    It's a non-issue if you've never had it. And if you've never had it you don't know what you are missing. We went through this about a year ago, Jimbo. I'm not interested in going down that path again. The Office of the President @ D* acknowledge to me that it WAS an issue and they were looking...

    Genie firmware 0x08c2 Menu shortcuts

    I'd rather they give us the episode number or OAD (original air date) in the guide so I don't have 5,000 recordings of the same program. D* needs to come into the 21st century, because Dish is kicking their a$$ in this department.
