I've been off contract since January. I have one HD-DVR. That is the only receiver in the house. I subscribe to "Choice Extra Classic" (grandfathered), with no premium channels. Charges: Choice Xtra Classic: $71.99 HD Monthly: $10.00 DVR Monthly: $10.00 Primary TV: $6.00 Credits...

I have a folder full of show episodes that I have watched. I want to go back and watch them again. How do I reset the status of each episode from played (dark grey) to unplayed (white)? Otherwise it will be a pain to keep track of where I am in the sequence. Thanks.

I'm so furious I could spit. Just got off the phone with DirecTV's CS and I'm royally steamed. The convoluded way all the various credits and rebates are applied make it very difficult to arrive at REAL cost, so to a certain extent I relied on the information I was given on the phone when I...

This should be simple enough to do, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it: I've been recording all repeat episodes of NCIS on USA NetworkHD in order to build up a library of episodes. I have the main list sorted alphabetically, but all the NCIS episodes show up as a...

Been with DirecTV for about a month and a half now. Still getting used to it compared to Dish. I'm wanting to build a library of NCIS episodes in HD, since the early seasons have not been released on Blu-Ray. So I have one of my HD-DVRs set to record all the episodes on USA (they show 20+...

Got the letter of death today saying that I will automatically be switched over to America's Top 200 + HD Platinum on February 1. Problem: That takes my bill from $36.99 a month (with 2nd receiver) to $71.99 a month. WTF! They say they'll give me the Platinum free for one year. BFD. So...

The board won't let me reply to the existing FyreTV thread, saying it's 45 days old, so I'll start a new one. It looks to me that Fyre is turning into another ITVN/XTV debacle. I'm guessing that they've fallen victim to the poor economy. I've been a beta tester since the middle of last...

I realize that SG has to make money from ads, but full page ads that hijack the browser go too damned far! I came here to check a thread and before I even had a chance to login, I was whisked away to a page with some crappy BlueApple ad about banning smoking in restaurants. I was forced to...

Considering I only ever watch HD channels anyway, I was paying extra for all that SD crap I was never watching. As of about 10 minutes ago my Dish bill just dropped to $37 a month. DishHD: $29.99 211 lease fee: $7.00 CinemaxHD: $0.01 Beats the heck out of the $59.99 I would have been paying...

I've now received four (4) canned messages in my voice mail from Dish, all exactly the same: My local channels are now free through the end of the year, and unless I call back and cancel before then, I will automatically be charged $5.99 per month. Why do I have to opt out of this crap...

Dish has now called and cancelled my appointment for the third straight time, saying that there is a "nationwide shortage of DP44 switches." I'm sick and damned tired of taking time off from work or having to schedule meetings around the vague 5-hour windows only to have them cancelled! First...

The installer used this cascade technique with my install, and it's been nothing but trouble thus far. While I can get 4 satellites (110, 119, 129 on 1000, and 61.5 on small dish), every day when I attempt to power up the 211 in the morning: It takes over a minute to complete the startup...

I guess things have changed since I first signed up with E*. Back then I had a commitment of 12 months, during which my 811 was completely covered by warranty. Not so the 211. The CSR informed me that while I will have an 18-month lease commitment, the 211 is only warranteed for 90 days. If I...

I've been reading people claiming that the monthly $6 "lease fee" is only on additional receivers after the first, that the "lease fee" is built into the programming for the first receiver/tuner. Apparently not. I ran headlong into a brick wall when trying to upgrade my current HD to the...

Anyone else seeing a visual pause/stutter about once a second on ACMAX on Dish? It's the only channel I'm seeing it on, and a reboot does nothing... annoying.

*bleagh* Compared with the Dish 811, the Voom box was a veritable engineering marvel. Now that I've been forced to endure the 811 again for a few weeks, I'm just ready to punt the damned thing down the street. Spend too much time watching locals... it locks up. Try accessing the guide at...

It took me about 10 minutes on hold to get a human; considerably longer than usual. We ended up chatting for about 20 minutes. I asked him point blank about the message on the web site and he read me a press release that he had been given when he returned from lunch. It was standard boilerplate...

Tuned in to TNTHD to catch my Law & Order reruns, and I get a screen telling me I need to upgrade in order to get this channel. WTF???

I have the line from my rooftop antenna split, with lines then going to the Voom receiver and my Dish 811 receiver. The Dish 811 picks up all my OTA channels just fine, whereas the Voom receiver is not picking up any. Is the OTA tuner in the Voom box of lower quality than that of the 811?

Well, Voom is in the house. :) I'm running into a problem with OTA channels and the Voom receiver. (I'm using my own antenna/rotor that I had previously; I did not have the VOOM OTA intenna installed). For one thing, the Voom receiver appears to be less sensitive (doesn't pick up the...

I'm doing research into getting Voom when my Dish contract expires on the 18th of January. Two questions: 1. According to the Voom CSR I spoke with, I *HAVE* to use the OTA antenna that Voom supplies. I cannot use my own. I already have a Winegard antenna with rotor on my roof, and I'm...
