    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    "A space event" sounds like something external to the satellite having a mechanical issue. I suppose we'll never know exactly what that "event" was...

    Guide not updating

    Mine isn’t populated past tomorrow evening. Tried the software download and clearmybox...here’s hoping this will fix it... Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    How do you like DirecTV?

    Just switched two weeks ago from Dish to DirecTV after trying to cut the cord with my family (lack of good, reasonably priced internet at my rural address prohibited that), and I do miss the Hopper 3. Having (in all practice) unlimited tuners was a blessing I didn't realize. And the 2TB drive on...

    NASA HD

    This actually would've been something back when NASA actually launched anything. :(

    DIRECTV Remains Clear HD Leader with 130 HD Channels

    FSN North HD and FSN Rocky Mountain HD took a while to show picture (had a "technical difficulties" slide up until about 6:45 am Central). But everything else is running smoothly.

    CW's ADDED: Minneapolis (WUCW-HD//23); Boston (WLVI-HD//56)

    When a new duplicate channel appears, you may need to go into your "favorites" list and re-check the channel. I had to with WUCW-HD today, at least. Perhaps that might get WLVI-HD to appear. ?

    CW's ADDED: Minneapolis (WUCW-HD//23); Boston (WLVI-HD//56)

    Both channels confirmed to be up today.

    DirecTV Adds CW & MNT to New York, Seattle, Minneapolis, & San Diego DMAs

    Well, stop being shocked: I can tell you right now it's still 480i/p on my HR20/21's. No CW HD here in Minnesota today. Even DirecTV's site doesn't list it as available (just enter any zip in the DMA...say, mine: 56253). Where's this list that says it is coming from??

    Caught. :eek: ;)

    What we are hearing...

    DirecTV's beta of DVR Scheduler is showing DIS1HD - 290 and TDISHD - 292 when searching for "HD" in the channels... are these the other two? ;)

    An Update

    No offense, but why don't you just ignore that forum? Why do you feel the need to belittle them or even pay attention?? Both sites have their contacts and their insight and have a place on the internet and within the DBS community (hence the reason I visit both: I'm a news junkie). Why...

    An Update

    The thread that was deleted (which shouldn't have been activated in the first place) had confirmation of it. Just incorrect channel mapping, I guess...and itchy trigger fingers for the thread. :)

    An Update

    It was confirmed that 498 NEVER came from D10 or was even MPEG4: someone with a DirecTiVo was able to tune it in.

    An Update

    I heard similar elsewhere...and failing that, a day to day basis, eh? How confident have you heard they are that tomorrow will work?

    An Update

    ScoBuck - can you confirm or deny with your contact as to whether this is a D10 hardware problem (spot beams affecting CONUS beams), or an authorization issue (hitting each account with a script that updates them to SEE the new channels)? <--two most prevailant theories on the net today

    Very dissapointed in D*

    Read it again...he said this was not because of a NEW problem with D10... The discussion in the chatroom at DBSTalk (if you can find it...the server's crashed) is that it's sick spot beams that are affecting the CONUS beam. This is from numerous reports. Engineers are trying to "fix" the...

    Sept 19th 6:00 AM HD D* PARTY!!

    Talking with VOS (veryoldschool), a reputable poster on DBSTalk, in their chatroom...it sounds true... :(

    Sept 19th 6:00 AM HD D* PARTY!!

    Just a little correction on rad's statement: Earl neither confirmed the delay rumor, nor the channels being turned on tomorrow @ 6am EDT. Either he really doesn't know, or he's a good actor!!

    Sept 19th 6:00 AM HD D* PARTY!!

    I'm up at 11pm (CDT), so what the hell...but I'll be up at 5am CDT, too (gotta be at work tomorrow at 6...ugh.).

    Sept 19th 6:00 AM HD D* PARTY!!

    Is there anyone higher on the food chain than a CSR saying Sept. 19th? I really want to believe it's happening tomorrow...but still....anyone higher up confirming it??

    Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

    Steve - probably not. It's a channel that's "owned" by Dish Network. It'll be a cold day in hell before D* pays E* money for content. ;) BUT...since Liberty Media now has majority ownership of D* -- and also owns Starz! (and more) -- perhaps a "trade" may happen...

    Will new national HD go live on 9/12/07???

    That'll go away in a few software versions...(i.e., the "white gui").

    Will new national HD go live on 9/12/07???

    ScoBuck has been vindicated! :D;) You're batting 1.000!! Any word on channels lighting up?

    Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

    Sounds like a technical problem, Brian...I'd reboot.
