    How about a "blank" channel?

    How about it just doesn't return to live TV when it's done? Media Center just dims the screen and presents you with your options, "Restart", "Delete", etc...

    How about a "blank" channel?

    That's how Time-Warner's Scientific Atlanta/SARA DVRs do it too, makes sense. You even get the list of shows if you tune to the channel manually I believe.

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    Actually when they say "their service" they are obvoiusly talking about XM Online because all 7 of these have been off XM forever. In the case of On The Rocks, Music Lab and The Flow and Special X 4 years or more! Wow... I thought this was an old thread at first, and I didn't realize these were...

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    Not a huge surprise, these are ALL channels that left the XM birds probably 3 years ago! I bet they drop them from XM Online as well.

    SNY vs. YES (Mets vs. Yankees)

    YES-HD is actually promoting Opimium Online usually. DIRECTV does offer "YES Interactive", but their partner appears to be Optimum to me.

    MLB EI dual feeds

    They may very well fix that--it for me today with YES (even though it was a rainout) and it works that way with Center Ice so no reason it won't work with EI eventually for you if not already.

    HDPC-20 What do you think?

    YES-HD was MPEG-2 last year for sure because it was also on channel 95 for every game. Probably still is this year I guess, I don't know.

    I agree-- chances are you TV is going to do the scaling better than the box anyway. Menu > Settings > Setup > HDTV > Native : On Then from the "TV Resolutions" tab enable all resolutions that work with your TV--which will be all of them most likely unless you had an old HD CRT (they can't do...

    DirecTV HD PQ and Installation Questions

    There are some MPEG-2 left, but they look great now they don't have to share as much bandwidth anymore with all the stuff that's MPEG-4. Besides, your Comcast stuff is MPEG-2 right now; you'll only be getting better. Your installer will determine what they are willing to do, but that length...

    Is your local RSN included in Direct TV's packages?

    At your zipcode, the only one you'd get in the basic package is FSN Pittsburgh. With Choice Xtra you'd get STO, and with Premier you'd get FSN Ohio. With any DIRECTV base package (CHOICE or above): FSN Pittsburgh (Ch. 628)</B><LI type=square>Pittsburgh Penguins (HD Available)<LI...

    HR21 To Get OTA Tuner

    Exactly, I can understand the frustration, but some of you guys are overstating the importance of OTA tuners in the 21s... 75% of the country doesn't even care because they get HD locals on D*... of the rest, most don't even know/care that they can do it and of those that do know and care...
