At 5pm it switched to record B

I looked at tomorrow and found a whole bunch of Bones scheduled on TNT.  I set up the series and it captured all of them.  So it's not particular to the channel either.  Seems to be at random.  I don't see how that can be resolved.

I can't record a series

For the past few days whenever I try to record a series it is only capturing one episode.  I select "any day, any time" and I've tried both "new shows only and new with reruns".  Nothing works.  Is anyone else having this problem? I've already tried restarting.

Distorted sound

I've had a couple of shows that I've recorded where the sound will start off ok but then it gets distorted. The picture is fine. This has happened twice.

Lately there's no episode information

I've noticed in the last few weeks that a lot of times there is no episode information for upcoming episodes.  I'm not talking shows that are 2 weeks away, but ones that are coming up in the next few days.  Like for instance Bones will have info for one or two and then the rest just say "Bones"  No

DirecTV Adding “The First” to Replace “Newsmax”.

I just looked this up when I went to the channel (sure enough, it’s not reinstated yet) and it says on the top of the screen “The First” will be coming soon. Apparently it’s a conservative outlet. I’m not aware of it but it shows Bill O’Reilly on the picture for it. I’m not happy about removing News
