    HR-24 and new HD guide

    I have always been under the understanding that if your CE number is higher than the National release it will not override it. In other words if the National release is 057A and I have the CE 058C, it will not override it. If the National release is 057A and I have the CE of 056D, it will...

    HR-24 and new HD guide

    It will overwrite it, if your CE is older than the release. If your CE is newer than the National release it will not, in other words if you have downloaded the CE in the past couple of weeks, it will probably not overwrite it.

    HR-24 and new HD guide

    It is worth the wait. But you have to remember most people would be confused when they see it, without knowing it is coming. Very few DirecTV users come on these forums, and have very little knowledge about their equipment. The majority of users know how to turn the unit on and off and change...

    HR-24 and new HD guide

    It is slowly being released nationally. Not everyone is getting it at the same time.

    40 channels for $40

    Ala-Carte programing was available during the days of C-Band. But by the time you picked all the individual channels you wanted, it cost as much as if you just picked a package with the channels you wanted. It cost programers a lot more to program individual receivers than it does to assign an...

    Some D* installers in Florida are doing a bad job

    Bad installers are everywhere. I recently had a movers install, in our new home, and they installed DECA and SWM. After the installer left, I was only getting one tuner that worked on each of my HR20-700s, and no longer had an Internet connection for TV Apps & YouTube. After several calls with...

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I was surprised to read your post that they told you that, because my two HR20-700s have been fine working fine with the HD -Guide and menus.

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I have it on both of my HR20-700s from the CE.

    Who home DVR CONNECTION

    A few months ago I had a movers installation, when we moved onto our new house. They wired it with SWM and DECA and no Internet connection. Off and on, after the tech left and for days, I would have only had 1 tuner that worked on my DVRs. I ended up unhooking and removing all of the DECA...

    My DirecTV... How does it decide?

    Mine selects shows that I never even would consider watching. To me that screen is useless, and I ignore it.

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I first got it on my H24-700 then a couple of weeks later it showed up on my HR20-700s. It is definitely faster than the old SD guide. I would find it hard to go back to the old SD guide.

    Hello all. Opinions needed.

    They will install what ever receivers they have on the truck, at the time of your installation. You can request a particular receiver but you will get what they have at that time. As SWM and DECA they will probably ask you if you want DECA, but most everything new is done in SWM. Just had a new...

    When is Directv getting G4?

    I got to meet Leo and Sumi, once, when they were in Florida promoting their show. Nice people.

    When is Directv getting G4?

    I used to watch Travel Channel quite often, but since they have turned to mostly food shows, we rarely watch it. They could drop it again and bring back G4. :rolleyes:

    How can I get my directv locals channels from somewhere else to work in other areas?

    The best answer is what you were told, by DirecTV. They are governed by FCC local coverage rules, that give locals exclusive coverage rights. Here I am in the Portland market, but can also receive stations OTA from Bangor. But the FCC only allows DirecTV and cable to carry the Portland locals...

    When is Directv getting G4?

    I would take G4 back and gladly give up about 20 channels for it. I miss G4.

    Just Spoke with a directv customer representative...

    I am sure they want to avoid the problems they had when the locals when live. And I am sure that after they go live there will still be issues that they will have to work on, to peak the system. If they light them up and there is all kinds of problems everyone will yell about them. Just take...

    Scott's DirecTV Review (DirecTV -VS- Dish)

    Scott's DirecTV Review (DirecTV -VS- Dish)

    Scott, I think you will see a big revamp of their uplinks once the two new birds are flying. It will be such a waste of bandwidth to be transmitting the same signal in 2 or 3 different formats. They will also have to do some kind of channel re-alignment. I hope maybe this time they put all of...

    RSN's HD no longer to be spot beamed ?

    If they don't stop send them both to their rooms without dinner.

    Sharks/Red Wings are on 95

    Actually, the first game was on and it finished. Versus did the post game show and did the Pregame show for the second game. When the game was coming on, the screen went black for a few minutes, then returned 3 or 4 minutes into the game.

    Sharks/Red Wings are on 95

    It wasn't even shown in the guide for 95, it was there when you went to the channel.

    Sharks/Red Wings are on 95

    It is the SD version they are using, adding the pillar boxes and making it 16x9. Look around the lettering and you can see pixelation. It is not a local spot beam, it is a national channel.
