    HR24 slowness problems

    Anyone else with an HR24 having issues with slowness? Both of my receivers are frequently slow to change channels, pull up the guide, switch between the double play channels, and there are issues with the stopping and starting of recorded programs, and even with the TV apps. Since this is...

    Still waiting for HD PBS

    Here in the Boston DMA, our locals include three PBS stations, none of which have the HD feed available on D*. Boston is a pretty significant DMA, yet in the Springfield, MA DMA, which is much smaller, the PBS station there, WGBY, is broadcast in HD on D*. Considering HD has been on D* for...

    Can't Get Anywhere with CSR

    I am a Sunday Ticket sub with 4 payments left but I want to pay the amount remaining in full because I am starting a new monthly household budget and want my D* bill lower going forward. I called D* and the CSR told me they could not just take the remaining amount and apply it to my bill...

    MLBEI WTF?

    What the hell is going on with MLB EI? Just got home late and was ready to tune into Blue Jays-Angels game and guess what it isn't there! The game is on Rogers Sportsnet which D* has shown many times this season so why not tonight? And what about the Dodgers-Padres game??? How come this game...

    2 games not on MLB EI today?

    According to the schedule on Directv.com as well as the program guide and the sports schedule channel, two MLB games are not available today as part of the Extra Innings package, Arizona at Colorado at 3:10 and Seattle at Oakland at 4:05. Both of these games are part of MLB.TV and cable's...

    Comcast Philadelphia and Channel 4 San Diego

    Both the Comcast Philadelphia feed of the Phillies and the Cox Channel 4 San Diego feed of the Padres are being offered this season on MLBEI. My question is that the reason both were not on for so many years was because each was delivered terrestially and not via satellite, so how does DirecTV...

    DirecTV finally adds WPIX to EI

    The Mets feed of WPIX 11 has been added to it's Extra Innings coverage with the Mets-Phillies game on channel 745. This is a long time coming as cable has had the channel 11 feed since last year. By my count, this brings the DirecTV OTA number to three (WWOR,WPHL & WPIX).

    MPEG2 vs. MPEG4

    I am under the impression that some HD channels on D* are in MPEG-2 format while the majority of them are in MPEG-4 format. Does anybody know which ones are still in MPEG-2? Recently, I have been watching the NBA playoffs on both TNT and ESPN and have noticed the HD quality to be sub-par on...

    MLBEI Saturday Schedule

    Why does it seem as if the out of market MLB package is the only out of market package that has double standards? With both NBA League Pass and NHL Center Ice, the schedule and broadcast feeds seem identical for satellite, cable, and internet. Yet with MLB there always seems to be...

    Dodgers-Rockies Game not on D* but is on InDemand

    Sunday's Los Angeles Dodgers-Colorado Rockies baseball game is not scheduled in the MLB package for DirecTV but is scheduled for the cable equivalent of InDemand. The game is to be televised by the off-the-air affiliate in each market with no RSN simulcast, which would explain why D* isn't...

    WWOR OTA feeds in MLBEI

    It appears as if the first Yankee telecast on WWOR, My-9, out of Secacus, N.J. will make it into the Extra Innings package tonight. At first, when the original online schedule was announced, only the Orioles feed was listed on channel 722. However, today, an additional feed is listed on...

    MLBEI schedule question

    I just reviewed this week's MLBEI schedule on DirecTV's web site, and on Sunday, the schedule stops at 2PM EDT. There are five other games that should be part of the package but are not listed on the schedule. I remember last season there was a Sunday in which ESPN was going to show its Sunday...

    HD Strike Zone Channel not in HD

    I tuned into the HD Strike Zone channel around 5PM today only to see that it is not in HD. The pictures are in the 16:9 format but they are in SD and frankly look terrible. I hope this will be corrected at some point because all of the HD games look fabulous and it would be great to be able to...

    New to HD - have question

    I have recently bought an HD set and will be having a new HD dish installed next week. I have read that the HD DVR that I will be using is capable of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 broadcasts. I am totally new to HD and have little idea as to what these are. I am assuming they have to do with the...

    Playboy TV moves to channel 591

    Anyone know why Playboy TV was moved from channel 595 to channel 591? Is DirecTV planning on a new adult service on ch. 595? It seems odd that Playboy is part of the adult block that you can purchase on PPV but is not in the grouping of the other adult services in the block (channels 594-599).

    CBS and NFL Screw Up

    Today's NFL shootout Bengals-Browns game was not the early local game in my area; in fact it was only the early game in Ohio. However, when my early locally televised game, the Colts vs. the Titans ended just prior to 4PM EDT, CBS switched my local affiliate to the Bengals-Browns game, which...

    What gives with MLB Extra Innings?

    Does anyone have any idea why today, Sunday, July 15th, the MLB Extra Innings schedule stops with games starting at 2PM EDT? There were three later games originally scheduled, but now it appears as if these will not be offered in the package. I checked the InDemand schedule and it is the same...

    D* offering OTA broadcasts in MLB Extra Innings tonight?

    Browsing the MLB Extra Innings package tonight, and when I got to the Angels-Yankees channel I was expecting to see the FSN West feed since the Yankees telecast was an over the air signal in New York. I was very surprised to see the OTA My 9 broadcast being shown instead of the FSN feed. Now...
