    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    This isn't what caused the problem. It affected just about all Mazda OEM receivers. I didn't switch anything while it was updating. Don't feel as if YOU did something wrong. Sirius sent out something which crashed our receivers. I'm just glad it's working right now. I hear some of the...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Getting more fed up. Just sent this email to Mel Karmazin: Mr. Karmazin: I recently wrote you concerning an update Sirius sent which has disabled a large number of Mazda OEM receivers. It has now been 2 weeks and we still cannot listen to Sirius in our Mazda vehicles. Honestly, this is...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Don't waste your time pulling a fuse, disconnecting the battery or anything like that. Don't waste your time going to the dealer either. They can't help you either. Sirius is the one who must initiate the fix and nobody seems to know what that fix is. I think it's a bit premature to think...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Uh yes. I spoke with Jim Meyer who is the President of Sales and some other things. I emailed him directly and received a phone call from him and I have exchanged emails with him. So, I'd consider him in the know wouldn't you? Anyway, we're now 2 full weeks without service. I really wish...

    Monday's update for SIRIUS (Mazda owners)

    Being as I've been dealing with this in other forums and have spoken with people in the Sirius upper management I feel I can chime in. First of all, this IS a Sirius issue. Is it happening with only our receivers? At this point yes. However, the receivers worked fine until SIRIUS pushed an...

    New Channels, Includes TCM

    I don't care about any of these channels. I did, however, notice TNTHD lately. Haven't read the other posts here so sorry if it's old news. I also want to see Disco HD and National Geo HD. I don't care about HDNet.

    Rumors anyone????

    Alright, I'm excited. ;) It's easy to get excited with the lack of stuff coming from CV these days. Still happy with my service, just would like to see the extra channels available... The Rickster

    Rumors anyone????

    Anyone even have any rumors about any new HD channels? I've not heard of anything in FOREVER. Even a rumor might get me excited. :) How about the usual, DiscoveryHD Theater? Would still love National Geographic HD. Many others want other channels. Are they EVER gonna add anything worthwhile...

    Problems with SA 8300 HD cablebox

    Well, I've pretty much given up expecting the thing to actually do all of what it's supposed to. I have dealt with CV trying to figure out (mainly) why I cannot for the life of me have it record just first run programs--ANY first run programs. In order to get all of the shows of any show I want...

    Optimum Online speeds are NUTS in my area

    Hmm, 3535kbps up and 1575kbps up. I've got a brand new cable modem. It's through my wireless router though. Maybe it's slowing me down too much. The Rickster

    8300HD Stretch

    So we had the cable dude over to fix low levels and look into my unability to record first run programs. I wasn't home. When I got home I noticed everything is stretched now. I asked my wife what he did and she told me he said he was, "fixing," it so it fills the screen. ARRGGHH! How do I get...

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    Well, no joy on the rebooting part. Still no first run (only) recording. We're about to move into a new house. I'll have more time to mess with it once we're in (we're in the same neighborhood so it's the same service). Thanks. The Rickster

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    I really don't think it's a PG issue with it not recording first run programs. I've NEVER been able to get it to record using that feature. I've got to make some time (hopefully today) to reboot and try again. Otherwise, I'll ask for a new box. Thanks. The Rickster

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    I'll check into it again. If it doesn't work, I'll get a new box. I'm in the process of moving so that would be a good time to get a new box Thanks for the tips...as always. :) The Rickster

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    Thanks for the tip on tuning to the DVR channel. I'll give that a shot. I'll also reboot the box...again. I'm skeptical this will help as the box has been rebooted plenty of times. I'll try it though. Maybe I need a different box...

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    This happens for EVERY program I try. And, yes, they ARE first run episodes. I've NEVER been able to get it to do this properly. When I try to set it up for first run episodes, it goes through everything as if it was setting it up properly but it just never records the program (NEVER). It's not...

    [CABLEVISION] NEW HD Channels -- INHD2 & SNY HD Coming 3/30/2005

    Hmm, this is good but... I mean, come on, it's great to get InHD2 FINALLY but it'll be pre-empted during prime time for a big chunk of the year if they also broadcast road games. If not, it'll still be pre-empted much too often. InHD2 deserves its own spot as well as SNY. I wish CV would stop...

    Ever gonna fix bugs in 8300HD software???

    Are they ever going to make the 8300 work the way it's suppose to? What I'm referring to (specifically) is the ability to record a first run program on a particular channel. Right now, if I want my 8300 to record a program regularly, I must select, "Record this program at any time on this...

    More Upgrades

    Thanks. Sorry, been busy this week. I'll have a chance to deal with this early next week. I'll try calling them first and see what I can get done. If that doesn't work, I'll let you know. Thanks a bunch. The Rickster

    More Upgrades

    My best friend has an 8300 with the same exact problem. I find it hard to believe it's a signal issue if so many people are having a problem. I also asked the tech when she came out for the initial call about a signal issue. She explained it's not a signal issue but a software issue various...

    More Upgrades

    On top of that, most of the time, when I play a recorded program I just get a black screen. I then have to go and play a different program, which then plays and come back to the original one an play that one again. This happens about 95% of the time. Also, has anyone figured out how to come...

    More Upgrades

    I have rebooted...many times. I have to as, since the upgrade, sometimes I'll just get a black screen when hitting the iO button. I was having this problem on my non-HD non-DVR box and they sent someone out telling me there's a software problem they're working on. It's quite annoying having the...

    More Upgrades

    Since the upgrade more problems have cropped up. On the dvr, whenever I go into one of the OnDemmand channels and hit the iO button to get back to the guide and change channels, after a few seconds, it puts me right back into the OnDemmand channel. VERY annoying. I have to manually tune to...
