    DIRECTV on demand channels not working

    Is anybody else having trouble with DIRECTV's on demand channels? Last night I tried to download an episode of The Sopranos, and got a message that the content wasn't available. They were convinced that the problem was that the receiver wasn't connected to the internet, but they sent a...

    Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

    I switched from Dish this past summer, and had Center Ice with them last year. They still had all of the Center Ice games, but none of the Fox Net or MSG broadcasts were available in HD. I think they also blocked the commercials that those channels ran during the games.

    Here's an update. Thanks to everyone who gave me input on this. I changed the locations this afternoon. I didn't have a white box with any of the receivers, but the DVR had a black box with it. So I moved it, too. Mistake! After I re-connected things and powered up, all three tvs told me...

    Moving Receivers with Whole Home DVR

    I had DirecTV installed last weekend to replace Dish Network. I received the whole home DVR setup, and when I told the installers what to put where I wasn't 100% familiar with how the whole home system worked. My wife is the major DVR user in the house, she watches tv a lot in our bedroom...
