I was offered a deal however the person that was speaking a hundred words a minute didn't explain that what they said was free for 12 months is actually charging in 15.99 a month.

Favourite hidden gem TV series on Netflix?

What TV show do I need to see? Try and steer away from the standout shows like Breaking Bad, as I'll likely have seen them. It has to be on Netflix, but I'll allow recommendations for prime as well. Made a similar post a while back about movies, and got a ridiculous amount of success with recommenda

NBC, WTHR, CBS - September Contract Negotiation

Why was NBC dropped from the channel lineup? This is a major network that I watch frequently. I am not happy about this change and don't remember receiving any notification of this change.

Question

Nothing.  DVRs do not have the "Autotune" feature.  Only Receivers have that feature.  I guess DirecTV figures that DVRs should record stuff, not just tune to a channel at a specific time.

Thanks dodekabill.  I will try the lame workaround for now.  I actually had problems with some HD programs too, but primarly SD.  I hope somebody figures this out eventually.

Bill has gone up over $60 a month and have called customer service multiple times. They will not do anything. Basically told me to cancel.

My bill has gone up over $60 a month the last six months. I was receiving some kind of discount and it must have fallen off.  I have called customer service multiple times to get my bill back to a reasonable amount with no one willing to help me.  I have been a loyal customer for several

Free preview of HD premium channels?

I'm a u-300 subscriber and for the past few days I've had access to the premium channels. Is this true for everyone?

Question

Agreed with dhascall. If a channel is hidden from the guide, it shouldn't show up in the search. I remember before a precious update, hidden SD channels of HD counterparts wouldn't show in search.But yeah, the adult channels...no excuse there.

Question

Not "fixable" on the consumer end.  A new DVR is not going to do it nor is a call to customer service.   All we can do is cross our fingers that someone, somewhere figures out what the heck is going on.

Certain channels not making complete recordings?

For the last week we’ve tried recording a couple of shows from Bravo, but they are not completely recording. It shows that the record is complete (like an hour episode), but within 20 minutes the recording ends and prompts to erase/watch next episode. We’ve recorded from other channels like the CW a
