I'm on the Xtra Classic package and cannot remove HD Extra from online also. The automated system did not work the last time either.

It seems that as of at least a week ago many of the TV Apps have disappeared. Most were ignored by me but I regularly used the NOAA weather radar app for local radar info. It wasn't as good as using some web pages radar info but much better than what TWC's radar showed on Local updates. Here's...

I've had the same lockups on my HR24 for at least a month also. It's continued thru a couple different CE releases and while reverting back to the national also. Sometimes it last over 10 seconds, lately it's been shorter but still every button locks out and the screen freezes.

Just curious if they gave a reason for the offer? Are you a long-time cust. not under contract? Keep in mind, I believe activating a new leased receiver on the account, even if it's no charge, would start a new 2-year contract.

My only complaint with calls to D* cust. service is that many of my calls get transferred to depts. with more of a focus on sales instead of cust. service. (Ex. they want me to change premium packages instead of my desire to just drop one.) When sales is a large part of poss. incentive, simple...

Iceberg-- I agree that the ads for specific programs that reference the D* channel # are not hard drive based but I don't see how the local ads I'm referring to are the same. Can you, or anyone, explain technically how when I watch a show from the DVR it was recorded on I see the 2 local ads...

I can only speak about this question since I do not have an External HD. The first time I noticed it happening was on TBS during the MLB playoffs. The normal ads you'd see on TBS are for Geico and beer ads and whatever else you'd find available nationally. This time at the beginning of a...

My question was really more of a comment on the fact that Directv is placing ads, beyond ones for their own PPV/packages, over the original broadcast ads and no one has really mentioned it here. Which was surprising to me since lots of minutia is discussed here regularly, so my point was maybe...

Do you remember what the ads were for? I'm in NYC area and over the past month I've noticed local commercials being planted "on top" of the normal national broadcast commercials on a wide variety of channels. They run 2 consecutively and then jump back to the national feed. The local spots are...

This topic came up also in this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/268604-cant-ff-through-sunday-ticket-commercials.html As I commented there I've had this happen sometimes in Directv ads but more frequently I'm getting local commercials added in on top of the national feed that...

I thought the video quality was awful. It was my first time seeing the show in HD since during the first season it was sill an SD channel for me. It looked like how the ABC soap One Life to Live looks like and they are clear to call it "digital widescreen" because it isn't HD. Was probably...

Having time to notice how the commercials were placed into the commercial break I think they are part of the DVR's "secret" recording space. When I was 30sec-skipping over the networks commercials you can see that the added "local" commercials were covering up a Match.com ad. While watching...

Just tonight I've noticed local NYC-area commercials inserted during commercial breaks on TBS during/after the baseball game and Seinfeld after it. They air 2 of them, back to back within each commercial break, both showing up in shrunken 16x9 format. Like the OP said, you can FF thru them but...

Having come from Dish I will always appreciate TVMail even though we find out most of it on here long before. The last few years with Dish I really only remember being told by them about a month later that new channels had arrived. Anyone remember Laurie Farkas daily Dish news back in the day...

The 694 feed is Anaheim's so it would be blocked out for Buffalo.. As of now my guide is showing that ch 638 & 638-1 (HD feed) will have the game also. And if it goes as it did last year, during the Center Ice free trial NYC MSG viewers can see Sabres games thru MSG and Buffalo area can see...

I've noticed on my Simpsons first run only timer that repeats more than a week out have only generic episode info listed until about <5 days before airing. The receiver will record any episode that doesn't have a specific date for an episode. But in this case just waiting till they get closer to...

I'd say more than half the time that I get that message the apps end up working on an immediate 2nd attempt. All the other times they seem to show up a few minutes later. But it definitely can be a pain.

First, Welcome to SatelliteGuys! Hope you enjoy your new service and always feel free to ask any questions you have and use search to see what has been asked already. 1. From what I've read on here the VOD speeds are actually capped by Directv. Many people have said that having ISP speeds...

For about 2 weeks now this app has been unavailable, timing out after about a minute on both of my HR24's. Anyone else have the same experience? Even tried removing and re-adding it back, but no change. Anyone using the twitter app? It's made my the same company.. curious if it's out also..

I don't know any way of showing a played episode as unplayed. The only thing I can think of that is under your control is to swap between showing each episode as protected or not. The blue button lets you put a K, for keep, marker on anything you choose to. You could, and might already do...

I'll describe this by how it happened tonight although it's been going on and off for a couple weeks now, on a HR24, with both of the most recent software versions.. Normally I record the 11 o'clock news on ABC 7, tonight my receiver was already on 7 by the time the recording started. I was...

There doesen't seem to be a way to remove grouping or have it show in a different order but if you press the yellow button while viewing your list and select "Open/Close all", all the groups open up at once, which may be more to your liking. Unfortunately you will need to do that every time you...

On a side note about VOD on Directv, recently I've downgraded to the Choice package from Choice Extra but I've still been able to download and view VOD content from a few of the Extra package channels. So far I've been able to get Oxygen and Speed channel content.

On the Whole-Home menu screen does it say that Whole Home is Authorized on your account? If not, a call to Directv will activate it, it's $3 a month. In your description of the splitter you did not mention that there was a wire going towards the non-dvr receiver. I'd imagine that was just an...

I assigned static IP's to my receivers since I started with Direct, at the beginning it was the only way to reliably get the MRV to work. I haven't had any power outages lately. The only odd things happening recently have been that my DSL has been cutting in and out on some days, which is a...
