Yes Jimbo I have OTA and they are fine. I think the further reports from all over says DTV had a major problem right smack in the middle of prime-time for the west coast. I did say that all of the channels for two DMAs were down. Not very likely to be a local station issue.

About 7:40pm PT tonight the SF Bay and Sacramento locals went dark. There is no message or anything on all of the stations at this time. Just a black screen. Any news?

Not to hijack the thread but my parents just got DTV and the current offer they got was 31$ a month for 12 months then months 13-24 is 16$ off. Also they got the AAA discount so that is 10$ more off for months 1-20! This deal showed up for their zip code but not mine until Jan 1st. Now it shows...

A few weeks ago there was a Sacremanto Kings game listed on both CSNCA(698 and CSNCA+(699). I am in the local area for both sports teams and get all of the games that are on CSN. At the same time there was a SJ Sharks game going on as well. According to the listing on the CSN web site the SJ...

Yes and it seems that DTV has wised up to the double discount stuff. Just tried it for my parents new account and was told you only get ONE discount.... Either AAA or referral and NOT both. She line by line reviewed the entire order and when she got to the AAA discount she told me it was one or...

Assuming my AAA club is the same discount as the rest, I use CSAA, it is currently 10$ a month for 20 months. The referral is 10$ off for 10 months for the new account and 10$ off for 10 months for the referring account.

So you currently have 4 tuners and replacing the HR24 with an HR34 would take you up to 7 total tuners. You should be fine.

Since I don't see it posted here yet here is the email I just got from Tivo: We’re baaack! TiVo and DIRECTV are together again. The TiVo HD DVR from DIRECTV Now you can once again enjoy the world-famous TiVo® service seamlessly integrated with DIRECTV through the TiVo HD DVR from DIRECTV...

Does power save mode just mean no live TV to go rewind in if the rcvr hasn't gotten something from the remote for 2 hours?

I have an HR22-100 and the download took the normal amount of time. I haven't had a CE on this box since MRV went national. It did clear out the guide cache and I did get an "additional download" at the point where I would have gotten a tv picture for the first time. I did see the "screen saver"...

Sometimes it is good to live on the West Coast :) I hope to try out the new HD-GUI on my HR22. I have been out of town for the last few CE releases.

I suspect the multiple maps are due to multiple "local" channels that can carry the game. Also note that there are multiple maps for some teams in the MLB as well.

I suspect they are talking about this device. Sling Media - Slingbox 700U It does not have a network connection so it would have to be connected to a VIP dish rcvr or other rcvr with ethernet built-in. Scott, Any news about when this might come to the other non-922 VIP rcvrs?

What got you interested to purchase your first Free to Air satellite system? Well I was working for Dish as an installer when I added Dish to a house that had a BUD. When I asked about the BUD I was shown the possibilities with FTA and have been hooked ever since.

Well the download worked. I had to manually reboot via the red button. When I did reboot I got to the "just a few more seconds" screen then got a "Software download successful"(or something close to that) screen. It the rebooted on its own and now I have tv again. So for some reason the rcvr did...

My rcvr is now stuck apparently. It has been at 100% on the download page for over 20 minutes now. I guess I will have to reboot it via the red button and hope it comes back ok. Nobody in the chat room has responded. I wonder if DTV took down the CE already.....

Unfortunately you are incorrect. I can't speak for any other channels but on Comcast Sportsnet California(only tv network to carry any A's games this year) not all of the A's games are in HD. A look at the TV schedule on the A's website shows that. So to state that all MLB games on RSNs are...

Actually it would be 8 tuners. 3-dual tuner units and 2 SD single tunes. Thanks for the answer that the new SD units do support SWM contrary to everything I found on the SWM docs. It wouldn't make any sense to me to not have all rcvrs capable of SWM. Of course the docs I found might have been...

I am currently renting a room from a friend. I upgraded to an HD DVR a few weeks ago and got a non-swm dish installed. My landlord is considering switching to a bundled account with ATT for dsl\phone\tv. She would need 1 HD-DVR, 1 SD DVR, and 2 SD non-dvr rcvrs. She would love to not have...

Look up zip code 96137 on your favorite map site. This is for Westwood in the far north east part of CA. You will find there is a post office in the town of Westwood. If you live within easy walking distance(all of town) you have a free #1 size PO Box at the Post Office. There is NO local mail...

I went to my local AAA web site (California State Automobile Association - Insurance, Automotive, Discounts, Travel and Road Side Assistance - N.CA,NV,UT) and was directed to the following URL at the Colorado club site. AAA Colorado YMMV ps. You should hurry as the fine print says this offer...

This must be an early April Fool's joke.....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

LOL... having sat next to you from Reno to Roseville and back(visit to SatelliteAV) I am sure you pulled the columnists leg as far as possible :D

You use the Directv web site for scheduling remote recordings. Those updates are sent via the Satellite only. On the DTV tivo units the network\usb ports are not likely to ever work. So the only thing you really need is a phone line so the new 6.4a software will get installed.
