Sweet.. Thanks. Are they still doing HR34s or have they been sold through to the 44's?

Got an email offering me a free Genie if I re-up my contract.. Basically what I would want to do is put that in place of one of my regular HD receivers and keep the two HR-24's to give me 9 recording tuners (10 total).. In this case would they give me the SWM16 that I would now need in this...

You are all missing the point of the commercial.. They are highlighting that with the Genie and an RVU TV, you dont need a box or the associated wires at all.

Umm, no. They don't need to waste any more bandwidth on channels like that. Next you'll be saying they should have the infomercial channels in HD. Its just stupid.

Because nobody gives a flying crap about HSN and QVC in HD.

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV Its a Viacom channel.. The company that ruined Mtv with shows - so they had to add Mtv2 just for music - and now thats overrun with shows.. Would you expect anything less from them?

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV Ugh. How can anyone find humor in crap like Hot in Cleveland or Happily Divorced?

^^This.. Slacker has the kind of playlists that XM USED to have before the merger. Plus there is a setting for each station to make it "hits heavy", balanced, or deep. And yes its free, plus they give you 6 skips per hour (better than Pandora). The $4 a month Plus subscription is definitely...

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV Yeah right? All that "extra space" is being clogged up by MPEG-2 SD duplicate streams because they won't grow a pair and get people off the antiquated MPEG-2 hardware. They're STILL installing it FFS!! For every two MPEG-2 streams they kill, they can fit...

Yes. BUT, it must be hooked to Port 1 on the splitter. So take the cable off Port 1, move it to an open port. Then use a short jumper to connect Port 1 to the "Power to SWM" port on the power injector, and use the port cap that you removed from the open port to cap the "Signal to IRD" port on...

We get the $3 increase every year whether we get new channels/HD or not.

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV That's besides the point. There is literally no HD content on GSN except a couple of the new shows that were taken from networks (Minute to Win It, Millionaire Password, etc). Even the new exclusive shows like Pyramid arent being shot in HD. I mean, even TCM...

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV I've always had to manually add them.

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV You just answered your own question. There's nothing on GSN worthy of wasting HD bandwidth on.

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV Wow.. so now the only channels the Dish trolls can use in their arguments are what.. GSN and QVC? :D

Then basically the person you talked to is dumb. They've been running that one for a long time. You get a prepaid visa gift card to cover a competitor's ETF up to $200.

The deal could be done but all companies such as DirecTV have policies that restrict employees from commenting until there is an official public announcement. Just like with new channel/new HD deals... Until the company publicly announces it, they must deny it and disavow all knowledge of any...

I want my DVRs to do collaborative scheduling. There's no reason they shouldn't be able to hand off recordings to each other in order to avoid conflicts. I also want to be able to use "everywhere" to watch content on my DVR without having to buy that stupid nomad thing. Given that the HRs run...

Well that sucks.. Thanks. :)

I am trying to get my sister to switch to DirecTV from Dish, and she is pretty much ready to do it based just on the extra $20 a month off with my referral and the AAA (and that the genie can do 5 recordings without the fights her 772 is currently causing with her better half). I was just in...

I'm pretty sure it is a one touch access to the download on demand library.. the episodes would have to be there in order for the genie to download them.

I noticed the same thing when I downgraded to Choice from Xtra. There are still a smattering of channels from the higher package that are still white.. DIY, Science, Military, Style, some random Encores, etc. The receivers have been refreshed and reset a few times but they still show up. I just...

I can't remember exactly but I seem to remember it being a hidden menu or something when they swapped my F cards to H and then H to Hu. It wasn't simply swapping the cards. I had all RCA receivers though, and I switched to cable right before they went to P4.

They do know what cards go with what receivers when they are packed.. however it will probably not be as simple as you just swapping cards - even though the correct number is listed on the account. Back in the day, the card would automatically "marry" to the first receiver that it is...

Sorry missed this one.. Seriously? In 12 years you've never seen someone push a couch/chair/entertainment center up against a straight cable and fold it or break it to the point where it causes issues? You must not get a lot of work because I did DirecTV installs for 3 years a while ago, plus...
