I always fill out the Directv bracket on channel 701. This year, everytime I tune to channel 701 to make my picks, it's just a Lexus ad and there's no bracket. Time is running out - anyone else having issues?
 
No issues here was able to do mine last night and let the Lexus ad finish and it will pop up but may keep playong in a small window while you fill out the bracket!! :)

I have let it play for 5 minutes three times between yesterday and today (and several times for less time) and it never has anything about the bracket...
 
May need to reboot and wait a little while for it to work again. It uses the "active features" which aren't all that reliable and take a while to load.

I tuned 701 and the intro screen took about 10 seconds to come up.

I seem to have lost the ability to use the interactive features on the HR44...

- Nothing pops up on channel 701, even if I watch the entire thing all the way through.
- I can't move between channels on the HD Sports Mix, even after waiting minutes. The down arrow brings up double play, right arrow brings up the apps, up is quicktune, etc.
- Speaking of the apps, they will come up with the right arrow, but I can't select them.
- I can't do anything on the red-button local forecast on The Weather Channel. I do still have the local-on-the-8's forecast.
- Channel 111 is exactly the same as 701.
- The annoying "press red for score guide" nonsense is gone from the HD sports channels (ESPN, MLB Network, NESN). With only testing a few, it remains on the SD sports channels (FS Ohio, Fox Deportes, TYC). The even-more-annoying "press << to start over" pop-up is still there and functional, but that is not the same.

I RBRed this morning. Those observations were made after the channel 701 issue was noticed last night AND this morning, both pre- and post- RBR.
 
I just turned on 701 to see whats up ... the Lexus commercial came on and about 30 seconds into it, it went into the small screen and info about filling out the bracket appeared.
