    Searching for programs on new channels do not show up

    I knew I forgot to add something to my original post. Smart Search is what I used and it still missed the listings for these new channels.

    Searching for programs on new channels do not show up

    Unless I missed it, I can't find any similar topics on this matter. If there is one, then I apologize. The other night I was looking through my movie channels and I saw the new Friday the 13th was on, but I missed the first 1/2 hour. I decided to do a search for it to see when it would be on...

    Is anyone else having green tint issues with ABC?

    So, I just got around to watching Castle which I recorded on both channels 7 (my local ABC) and on 396. We started out watching on 7 and the green tint was there again. Then we switched to watching the recording of channel 396 and it was clear as day. No green that we noticed at all. So, this...

    Is anyone else having green tint issues with ABC?

    I have one of those Sony KDS-50A2000 SXRD models. They were known for having problems, but I see here that I'm not the only one seeing this problem on just ABC. I didn't even think to try the other channel on 396. I'll have to compare them the next time I watch a program on ABC. Thanks guys.

    Is anyone else having green tint issues with ABC?

    Recently I started noticing this green tint with most of ABC's programming. We noticed it while watching Castle the other night and then again while watching Flash Forward and The forgotten. It seems like the lighting is off and people's faces and clothes have this green tint to them. I have...

    CSI on CBS2 - 7/17/08

    Any idea how I would go about shutting this off it it happens again? When this happened last week, I went all through the audio options and could not find anything that would indicate this was setup to happen or anyway to shut it off.

    New D* ad advertising 130 HD channels by end of year!

    All through the UFC event last night, they kept saying that we'd have over 130 HD channels this Fall.

    CSI on CBS2 - 7/17/08

    Okay, for those of you who are in the NY area and happened to watch CSI on the Channel 2 HD feed, I have a question. I put this on as there was really nothing else to watch and on the Channel 2 HD feed there was running commentary explaining what was going on in every scene for what I can...

    Question for all those with the NY locals

    I saw the thread about us losing some of our local HD feeds next month, but I don't think what I'm about to ask has to do with that. For the past week or so my NY HD locals have been cutting out roughly between midnight and 1 am. Sometimes it's just a few of them, sometimes it's all of them...

    Why does D* charge extra for HD equipment and programming?

    I switched from Cablevision and to me the answer is simple. Because DirecTV has twice as many HD channels and on top of that it's channels that people actually want. Cablevision can tout their amount of channels all they want, but the plain and simple truth is you can toss out those crappy...

    How do firmware updates work on D*?

    I know with cable, they would just automatically send the updates through the cable to your STB. Is it the same way with D* or do you need to be connected online to receive their updates?

    Where did the Wimbledon channels go?

    I kinda had a feeling this might have been the case. Wasn't sure though. Thanks for the info.

    Where did the Wimbledon channels go?

    I'm new to DirecTV, but earlier this week I was flipping through channels and I came across a bunch of different Wimbledon channels that were each showing a different match. They were also interactive channels that would allow you to see the scores of the other matches as well. Now, I tried...

    Getting the deal before it expires

    UGH! I have had the service for less than a week and my first bill came in. They already screwed it up! First there is an adjustment saying HBO and Starz were cancelled and I got a $25 credit. Then the bill goes on to charge me $35 for HBO, Starz, & Showtime. Then further down the bill it...

    Dogma on StarzHD Edge 6/25

    I doubt a lot of people even have this channel in HD, but I have a question anyway. Hopefully one person happened to be watching it as well. I put on Dogma on StarzHD Edge and to me the picture looked very strange. It was almost as if everything was zoomed more than it should have been. I...

    Looking for a way to record a certain way on the DVR

    Long story short, the wife is in school again along with work so she doesn't have time to watch all 5 days anymore. With Cablevision's DVR, you could tell it to record forever by day, not every episode, and it would record only the days you specified. After we couldn't figure it out, she just...

    Something I'm confused with regarding On Demand

    Yeah, I would be going with the wireless adapter if and when I decide to do this. For me to hardwire it would require running a line from downstairs all the way upstairs to my router. To me drilling holes through walls and floors to run a cable is not worth the time and effort. Good to know...

    Something I'm confused with regarding On Demand

    Yeah, I saw the list of the On Demand channels online since they don't show up in the guide. Problem is they don't come in unless you are connected online and I'm not sure it's worth $35 to do this and then have to actually download the programs on top of that instead of them being readily...

    Looking for a way to record a certain way on the DVR

    Actually, it wouldn't be a problem with what show is on at the time. This is for my wife's soap opera which is same time every day. This method you described, is the recording schedule in effect forever once you set it or do you still have to manually set it up every week?

    Something I'm confused with regarding On Demand

    Coming from cable, the way some things are done with D* is a bit confusing. Main example is On Demand. I don't get why there aren't specific channels dedicated to this and we have to connect online to download the programs. Sorry for the clueless question, but I'm new to this satellite stuff...

    Looking for a way to record a certain way on the DVR

    Sorry for the newbie question, but this satellite stuff is new to me. I had DVR service with Cablevision, but this is slightly different in the way it works on DirecTV. Before (with cable), if you wanted to set up a program to record every episode, but only on certain days (i.e Monday...

    Signal Loss During Thunderstorm??

    Had the service for all of one day, and I already lost the signal. Granted, a hail storm rolled through with buckets of rain, but I just hope I didn't make a mistake switching over. Where exactly do you check to see your signal strength anyway?

    Getting the deal before it expires

    50% of HD programming on 95 HD channels beats 50% of HD programming on 40 HD channels (15 of which are those garbage, waste of time VOOM channels) any day of the week.

    Getting the deal before it expires

    The install went very well. Took roughly 3 hours total and it probably would have been a little quicker if he knew beforehand that he needed to run a new wire for my internet. I assumed he didn't based off another thread that implied that it only needed to be done if a TV was in the same room as...

    Getting the deal before it expires

    Wow, these people don't mess around. I just called and ordered the service today and they are going to come tomorrow to install. I'd like to see the cable company come out that fast. I too got the free Showtime for a year deal. I was all set to ask about it because the CSR kept saying free...
