    DAMN that extra minute!!!!!

    One of the network shows we record/watch is a two-hour show that extends into the third hour by a single minute. I want to be able to record two programs in that third hour. That extra minute forces me to make a choice and eliminates one of the programs as a recording possibility. The irony is...

    All networks not available in HD in my market.

    We switched to Direct a couple of months ago and got Distant Networks HD through info I got on this forum. We got most of the network feeds through Jackson, TN, but not ABC. After I went through the procedure for requesting "permission" to get the additional network, I began receiving all four...

    The Bachelor and that extra minute

    Thanks for your reply. However, my DVR record options show just the opposite of what is needed. You can ONLY start early (1,2,3,4 min etc) and end late (1 min, etc. etc.). There is no option that I can find that allows for a start late and/or end early setup. Anyone else have any ideas.

    HDMI cable for SONY HD-ready Projection TV

    I'm a Direct newby. We have a 47 in. SONY HD-ready projection TV. Our HD picture quality is was decent with Dish, but noticeably better after we switched to Direct. We aren't presently hooked up with an HDMI cable. Will it make picture quality any better to buy and install an HDMI cable? If so...

    The Bachelor and that extra minute

    Pardon the title of this thread. This is really about DVR recording options. We watch/record The Batchelor on ABC. The schedule is 7:00-9:01 pm. That ree-diculous extra minute causes the following hour to be limited to only one recording to be scheduled in advance for the 9:00 hour...

    Hey! What happened to ABC?

    Thanks a LOT, Iceberg!!!! I followed your suggestion and filled out the application at the online site. It worked. We now have ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX in the "nearby" location on the guide. To make things easier to deal with, I put the new channels (390, 392, 396 & 398) on QuickTune. This...

    Hey! What happened to ABC?

    Thanks, Iceberg. I went to the link and made the application. I haven't seen a response yet. Any idea how long it should take? The page says it can take up to 15 minutes for status information to update from your last request. Not sure what that means.

    Hey! What happened to ABC?

    Oh, yeah. Sorry. My Zip code is 38326. I live on Pickwick Lake on the border of Tennessee/Alabama/Mississippi. Our network HD broadcasts are from New York by way of Jackson, Tennessee.

    Hey! What happened to ABC?

    This past Friday, I switched from Dish to Direct after the HD networks were discontinued. After fooling around with the new system for a couple of days, it dawned on me that we aren't getting ABC-TV broadcasts, HD or SD. Now, we're worse off than before. At least I was getting SD through All...
