    Guide Options

    Well, I had an R15 delivered and I've had some time to play with it. I am disappointed with the guide. On my old receiver, I had the option of setting the display from Numeric (by channel) to Alphabetic (by station). I miss that. Also, there is no easy way to go from a Custom display to...

    R15 Buffer

    The manual says the R15 stores programs not being recorded in a buffer for up to 90 minutes. Does anyone know if that can be saved. And I don't have one yet, I'm reading the manual from D*'s website.

    AT9 and receiver question

    I keep reading on the AT9 specs that I must use the H20 receiver. Why? Also, I was considering the HD300. Without getting into a Ford vs Chevy argument, can someone tell why I should or shouldn't consider this receiver? And never mind what I can get for free if I let D* do the install...
