    Trick Play issue after leaving 3D channel

    I have a strange issue with trick play after I go back to a 2D channel from a 3D channel. Whenever I go back to a 2D channel, my TV turns off 3D mode like normal (there is a quick black screen flicker while it's doing so), and then I see another quick flicker of the screen (channel banner...

    Pause and switch channel

    If you pause the channel, you should be able to hit your down arrow twice (first time brings up the Double Play message, second time switches to the other tuner) and tune to any channel you want, and then hit the down arrow again to go back to your original paused channel. When you go back to...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    Ahh yes, that makes sense. I misread the original statement at first as they had already paid for it as part of the new agreement and could add it at any time.

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    Ohh that Scott.. he's always cooking up something good ;) And.. does that mean that we should expect to see Epix popping up sometime in the near future as they are paying for it anyway? Dan

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    DirecTV has confirmed that Epix is the holdup in this whole situation. DIRECTV Viacom Updates "Viacom’s current statement on our negotiations is completely inaccurate. They made a proposal last night for our carriage of the 17 channels they pulled from DIRECTV and we accepted all material...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    I think Iceberg had them all. There definitely aren't 26 on DirecTV. The only one I think Iceberg missed was MTV t3es, so 16 total.

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    It certainly did seem to come out of the blue. TV Land has the Viacom crawl plus the DirecTV crawl running at the same time now. The DirecTV crawl stating "It's unlikely but Viacom could suspend this channel on July 11. Please see DIRECTVpromise.com. Viacom, who owns this channels, wants you to...

    Programming/Recording/Playback Issue (R22-100)

    I have a spare R22-100 and it does the same exact thing with trying to force a download. It will say Searching for New Software (04D1) and the numbers will increase for about 15 minutes and then it will reboot. If you try it again, it will do the same thing. Any other receiver model seems to...

    PPV Commercials Cutting Into Programming

    I just got around to watching some of my TLC recordings from this week and it's definitely still happening. On the 6/7 - 9:30pm recording of "On the Fly" during the 2nd commercial break of the show, the last two commercials were a DirecTV Movers Connection commercial followed by a DirecTV Cinema...

    PPV Commercials Cutting Into Programming

    It's funny because the PPV commercials never bother me. I understand that DirecTV needs to advertise events to make money. It's the nature of the business. All providers run PPV commercials. Most of the stuff I watch is DVR'd anyway, so I never have a problem just skipping right past the...

    PPV Commercials Cutting Into Programming

    This is a strange issue that I have been noticing off and on for the better part of two years now on TLC. It usually happens on a show airing during the 2nd half of the hour (x:30-x:00) and when it happens, is seems to always be the next to the last commercial break in that half hour (the one at...

    HD Guide Top and Bottem Banners

    The bottom timeline box has been modified to look more like it used to be with the blue GUI.. a smaller, semi-transparent box. It's on the CE releases currently. It will be pushed out nationally once out of testing. It looks a lot better than the large cloud-looking box that took up a lot of...

    HD Guide Software won't download to HR24-700

    I run CE software on my box but I did notice the same thing about a month ago when I tried to jump back to a national release (04D1 at the time) because I was having stability issues with a CE release. It finds the software, does the numbers in the top left for about 15 minutes, stays at 0%, and...

    Altoona/Johnstown PA Locals

    I do believe I recall one of my family members make mention of WTAJ "acting weird" earlier. That must have been what they were referring to. Dan

    GSN 'free trial'

    If you tune to one of the channels in the 9900's, your receiver should automatically redirect you to channel 110, where it will load the main menu and you can select a game from there. Once you select the game, it should take you back to one of those channels in the 9900's, and then load the...

    disabling that stupid screen saver?

    The only time mine comes on is if I pause live TV or a recording, or if a channel is displaying a message such as "Channel Not Purchased" after a hockey game on Center Ice. Usually comes on after about 5 minutes (or close to that). I have never seen it come on during live TV. Dan

    Slimline dish and Locals on 72.5

    You are correct. You will need another 18 inch dish pointing at 72.5 and a Zinwell WB68 multiswitch. You will have 4 lines coming from your slimline which will plug into the Sat 99/101 ports (2 ports) and Sat 103/110/119 ports (2 ports) on the switch and you will also have 1 line coming from the...

    Why is it....

    Didn't Scott mention before that there is usually more Dish info on the home page because DirecTV information is more difficult to come by.. like.. they kind of hold information from the public pretty much until it happens? I think I remember reading a post from him before that said if he had...

    Ch 77 Nghc

    Another thing I noticed is that when I go into the channel list in the settings on my HR10-250 and scroll to it, it says 77 - NGHC and then it says NFL Sunday Ticket HD 090 right under it for the full channel name. Could they possibly be planning on getting the bandwidth from Sunday Ticket being...

    Ch 77 Nghc

    When I flip to it (it being channel 77) and check the signal it shows it on satellite 101 transponder 8. Is that just because there is no video to the channel yet and it's just a placeholder? -Dan

    HD TIvo bug

    Oh, and if you can't see the actual menus.. once you're in DirecTV Central, from the top of the list, hit your down button 4 times for Messages and Settings, then once your in that menu go to the very bottom for Restart or Reset System, then to the very bottom of the next menu for Clear & delete...

    HD TIvo bug

    That would be a "Clear & delete everything" from Messages and Settings -> Restart or Reset System. You will lose all recordings, settings, thumbs up and down ratings, etc.. but it may fix the problem at hand. -Dan

    XM Quality

    I've noticed before too that the DirecTV XM feed is a little ahead of the feed that actually comes from the XM antenna to my SkyFi2. -Dan
