    Zap!!! Directv Over Powerlines

    Depends how much money the BPL people put in the FCC's pocket to look the other way. I have heard about the notching also heard it doesnt work, I support the ARRL who is fighting this mess and I hope it fails. I'm for prety much all new technologies but BPL puts way too much hash out.

    Problem ordering the Big Fight...

    Have you ever ordered PPV before? When I used to have D* you would have to call and have them activate it (PPV) the first time before the box would allow remote ordering...if you have not ordered ppv before you may need to just give them a call. I've had to do this even with a phone line hooked...

    Channel 228 in Channel list

    If it is a tivo box (thats the one I had), the only way you can get those channels to not show up is set up what you get in a custom list, Its a real PITA but because the channel comes and goes the receiver thinks its a new channel every time they switch it back on....I used to have problems...

    premerie package with dvr

    I have found in the past there was sometimes it would not allow you to change packages on the web (don't know why), but when I would call they would happily do it for me.

    Setanta Sports

    I believe you have to order the minimum package (used to be total choice), I dont have D* anymore so I don't know the names of the new packages, but D* is real big on having a minimum package to get any add ons.

    I don't want the locals, I want the NYC channels!

    there is also globecast on IA5 they have Euronews, Mhz Worldwide & Setanta sports, you can also find Aljezera English & Russia today on IA5 with FTA. The globecast stuff is subscription and you can see that at their website http://www.globecastwtv.com/ Also I don't think D* offers anything...

    TV program guide

    I actually really like the new tv guide, however it is only good for prime time...which stinks but thats when I use it mostly anyway. Also there is one usually included in the Sunday paper that is not too bad and its cheap. I never cared for "on direct" but I did use it for a year or so. I have...

    time frame for deactivation to take place?

    I cancelled D* last summer for 2 weeks (cable was awful) and when I hooked the receiver back up it was still activated...I don't know how long it would have worked because I called right away to reactivate it. It is an old direct tivo (35 hours) and I always unplug phone and cable before I...

    Christmas Letdown

    funny thing is the girl (very nice I might add) in retention said that the card should have been sent with the receiver in the first place and that they should have known that the old card would not work in the new receiver (totally different look and number on the card). She also said that he...

    Christmas Letdown

    My dad swaped out an old (dead) HD receiver for a new one and they did not send a new card so I tried to swap out the old card (they sent me a sheet to do this on the phone through an automated system). well it turned out that the new receiver had to have a newer card to work, so the genius CSR...

    Sports Pak question

    thats the main reason I dumped it, becouse you really don't get any of the games that you would be interested in unless you have all the individual sports packs (which I didn't really care about anyway), however I was hoping that there would be other sports programming on unfortunatly FSN is...

    What can you do when 3 shows on at the same time???

    Thursday night at 9pm kills us "grays anatomy", "CSI" & "Supernatural" are all on at the same time...My fix is that I have SC & D* and CTV shows gray's at 8pm so we watch that live and tape the other 2....although I really wish the CW would move "Supernatural" but they don't seem to care that...

    FOX Finds Way To Advertise While Commercials Are Being Fast Forwarded On Tivo

    they do make it easy to know when the commercials are coming. I get ready when the bug in the corner goes away and look for the rating taking up 1/3 of the screen when they come back....now if we could only automate the fast forward to jump over the whole break.

    FOX Finds Way To Advertise While Commercials Are Being Fast Forwarded On Tivo

    the main thing I hate about the crap at the bottom of the screen is when there is info in the show...like names, dates or translated text, I guess most of the bugs are automated and will pop up when they are schedules even if there is info or a translation on the screen (much rather have the...

    FOX Finds Way To Advertise While Commercials Are Being Fast Forwarded On Tivo

    I agree...even though I don't watch the commercials myself, My favorite line was once from a Turner executive who said something like if you don't watch the commercials that you are a thief and stealing from them (that's paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote as it has been...

    FOX Finds Way To Advertise While Commercials Are Being Fast Forwarded On Tivo

    I actually stop if I see a commercial I like (we have watched several like this) of course the majority of ad's are crap and I just blast through them. I was watching Parco pi on court tv and in the middle of the show a bar comes up on the bottom of the screen for McDonald's or something for...
