    MLB Extra Innings 2012 Now Available

    Is MLBTV blackout area determined by IP Address; or is it they determined by zip code? The MLBTV site shows my IP address is not subject to any home territory blackout restrictions. But, it also shows based upon my zip code the White Sox and Cubs are in my home territory and are subject to...

    MLB Extra Innings 2012 Now Available

    Edit: I just realized you said you live in Chicago. MLB.TV won't be an option for you while you are in your home market. The White Sox games will be blacked out on MLB.TV and you will have to watch them on CSN Chicago. It's a bummer for me too because I would like to use these features for my...

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I will take your advise. I can wait until I receive the automatic public download. And the update I got yesterday greatly increased the guide speed.; which is probably the feature I most wanted to have.

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    Yes, that person was wrong. This afternoon I received a phone call from the Customer Advocate Team That is one department I feel that has the correct information. I was told unequivocally the HR20-700 will get the HD-Guide. It should take about two weeks before the rollout reaches my area

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I feel much better about getting the new HD-Guide after reading your posts. This is a statement I received in an email from Directv: "The new on screen guide will be available on all HD DVR and HD Receivers, model H21 and later." I was also told the same thing when I called technical support...

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    You have the new HD Guide on your HR20-700. Directv is telling me the HR20-700 does not support and can not receive the new HD-Guide. If the HR20-700 does not support and can not receive the HD-Guide how can it be on your HR20-700? Unless, Directv is wrong and the HR20-700 can support and...

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    I hope you are right. Directv has told me even when my DMA gets the roll out - my HR20/700 will not get the HD -Guide. But, I was told at that time I may be able to do a free swap of my old receiver for a newer receiver that has the new HD-Guide.

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    It is blue. The information I received from Directv is "The new on screen guide will be available on all HD DVR and HD Receivers, model H21 and later." So, it appears the HR20/700 does not get the New HD Guide; but it get a much faster old SD Guide.

    Do you have the latest HD User Interface?

    No Plan to add TruTv Hd etc.

    JerseyMatt, you have a strange way of looking at things You have no problem with Directv giving as you say a “meaningless canned response.” What gets you upset is someone repeating Directv’s “meaningless canned response” You say I posted Directv’s statement “as if it were gospel.” You...

    No Plan to add TruTv Hd etc.

    People like me? Reporting what Directv told me is “blabbing”? Back in April 2010 , I started a thread about how to get the 3 free months of Showtime and Starz plus the entire season of MLB Extra inning free. After reading my post at least a half dozen people said they got the...
