Thinking about switching to directv...

Glad you are enjoying it. I went in the opposite direction, but I think most would be quite happy with either given time.

yes there is a way to change
The default is 30 slip but what you do is a keyword search for "30skip" which changes it over. "30slip" changes it back. Old thread on how to change it

I only have a HR34 (no other receivers) so dont know. When I record stuff I hit "list" and it shows how many programs are recording

What is generally best to use skip or slip?

thx

30skip worked like a charm! Are there any other keywords we should know about?

you may end up liking the slip better. i know i felt the same when i switched to directv after 10 years with dish. after awhile i noticed what i liked about the 30sec slip and didn't change it back.

I personally preferred skip.

I prefer skip because I hate commercials
