The term comes from "Trolling for Responses". Usually this is simply someone posting something they know will get people upset such as the example Scott mentioned.

They'll cancel the order. Others have already had theirs canceled.

How do you sort out the paid-for content? I'd like to see just the free stuff but I'd say 90% of the items in my on demand stuff has a "$" next to it. I'm connected to the Internet. Thanks.

New DirecTV customer and I have my Slingbox connected to one of my HR24's. It works great. Here's a screen capture of it in use (note that this is the Windows desktop client) Note that DirecTV2PC might be a cheaper alternative if you have MRV activated. My monitor isn't HDCP compliant so it...

You're right, the actual TV content is the most important. However, there is a team of people that deal with the UI and probably have nothing to do with the TV side of it. It would be nice if they'd bring HD graphics and menus to their systems. I assume they're working on it (or at least I hope...

Iceberg, you're saying that at some point they'll mirror the Christmas channel at 101?

Apparently it's already started. However, to get the channel, you have to subscribe to a minimum package of Choice Ultimate AND you have to see the 119 satellite. I have the right package but my dish can't see 119. I'm not happy about this.

I also got 418 this morning. My DVR's are HR24/100's but it looks like all my events are still scheduled to record and I don't think I lost any recordings. This info doesn't help your situation but wanted you to know that the update didn't automatically cause the kinds of problems you're describing.

I got 416 as well. I wonder what's new.

Yes, lots of people have done this over the last few months - including me. Here's a slickdeals discussion about it: Costco $180 Gift Card with new DirecTV account activation - SlickDeals.net Forums

Heh. I just ordered a $20 ebay special too about an hour ago. My wife will definitely appreciate it.

Hey, that's awesome. Thanks!

Yep, pretty close. :)

I feel the same way. My biggest problem with the DTV remote is that it's more difficult for me to use in the dark. I wish they had made the "List" button in a more prominent location. On the Dish remote, it's right in the middle of the remote and easy to find. On the DTV remote, it's kind of...

Good luck. I also was hoping for 2 HR24's and 1 H24. They ended up giving me 2 HR24-100's and 1 H23. The H23 seems to work well, however. Let us know how it goes and what receivers you get.

I find it a little odd that DirecTV's flagship HD DVR doesn't feature HD graphics and menus. Anyone know if DTV is working on changing this?

I don't see why not. Both HD outputs should be active.

One thing the DTV boxes do when locking out adult channels that the E* boxes don't do is display "Program Locked" or something like that in the program guide instead of showing the actual program title. Even with blocking out adult channels on E*, something like "Big Boob Babes III" on Cinemax...

I didn't. When I ordered via DirecTV's web site, I put in the installer notes that I wanted 2 HR24's and 1 H24. The installer said he just installs what DirecTV sends and so I ended up with 2 HR24's and 1 H23. Not exactly what I asked for but close enough. The H23 works fine.

In that scenario, you can watch recorded on one of the two non-DVR receivers because the DVR can only serve one remote receiver at a time.

No it doesn't. You can flip back and forth between both tuners, but they are both full screen.

I don't disagree with most of what you wrote but I wanted to correct this. Dish has a menu option to show only the HD version of the channels - that's how I set my 622. In fact, it works the same way on DirecTV. You have to choose the menu option to only show the HD version of the channels. FYI.

I know what you mean. Just switched to DTV earlier this week from Dish. I really wish they'd add AMC-HD, TCM-HD and BBCA-HD. Still glad I switched, though.

That was hilarious. Jim's tormenting of Dwight never fails to make me laugh. BTW, I'm a native Tulsan. Lived there the first 33 years of my life and have only lived in Texas for the last 9.

I nearly decided against DirecTV when I discovered that. In their marketing material it "seems" like you can watch recorded content at the same time from multiple remote receivers -if you look at the video on the link below, it's kind of misleading (start at the :39 mark). I ended up going with...
