LOT8's...

Wonder whatever happened with that anyways..  Used to be a popular topic around here, and now I never see so much as a whisper about it.  Pretty sure that there are still people who want it though, right?

My guide won't fit on my tv

I have a LG tv hooked up through an HDMI. The picture fits fine while watching tv, but the menu/guide is too wide. I've tried changing the resolution and zoom through the cable box, still nothing. Please help!

U-Verse TV No Longer Affordable

Help! My U-Verse bill just increased $60/mo and there are no available promotions for me. What can I do to make this more affordable? Should I just cancel and find a cheaper streaming service from another company?

Question

I've done all of those and nothing worked. The picture fits the screen fine it's just the guide. Thanks, anyway.

How can I resize the program guide.

My cable box was moved to another TV and now the program guide doesn't fit my screen. It runs off on the sides of the screen on the TV it was moved to.

CBS screen doesn't fit any of my televisions

Does anyone else have a problem with CBS channel being too wide for any television? All other channels are fine. I have gone through all tests and cannot find anything that changes it. I don't think it is a Uverse problem, but I don't know where to go with this.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I will be cutting the cord to DirecTV. After many, many years of putting up with bad customer service and increasing rates, I am beyond irritated and frustrated. My bill DOUBLED this month, after losing $65 in promotions. After calling customer service, and then elevating it to customer loyalty, the

Sure. If the service doesn’t accommodate your needs why pay when another alternative is both cheaper and still fits your needs? I agree.

Recordings cut off Live Events that run over their scheduled time (and shows that follow live events get cut off as well)

Direct Stream needs to correct the recording features. Let us start a recording a few minutes before a show/event starts as well as adding an extension time to the recording (that is how other providers do it).  For example when recording a sporting event that runs 7pm to 10pm but the game tak

The content providers package their channels to all TV providers so all DTV can do is pick the package they believe fits their customers best. DTV has no control over what the channels send them.

Direct TV Package

I'm unhappy with my package, I chose choice package & have alot of stations but nothing really good on. I like maybe like 8 or 9 stations I really watch but pay a very high price for nothing. Is there a way I can get the lowest price package & just add a few stations I really like?

I don't think my answer (in the other thread) fits this question at all.  @Tx1953, were you trying to view the event on the iPad's screen, or were you using AirPlay or a cable to display it on a TV/Monitor?

SEC Game on CBS would not play on iPad today (LSU VS ALABAMA)

Got black screen with “ THis program blacked out by content restrictions.” Why must I use the smart tv to see the game? What other channels/programs are blocked in this way?  Seems clunky and stupid.

Simply, even if you are a customer for years, the company cannot give you the service if you cannot pay for it if the best option is to change to something that fits your budget.

Uverse is not a 'one size fits all'.  For my household, the whole house DVR is all we need.  The 4 stream limit is sufficient but I can see that if you have a full house it could be an issue.

Duplicate service????

If we have direct tv streaming and are using a fire stick, do we need to also have streamwise solutions? Is this paying for duplicate streaming services?  Your comments would be appreciated.
