Recordings getting cutoff is so stupid

Why do I have to MANUALLY extend a recording of it runs over scheduled time. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. If you record a program you should get the ENTIRE program whether there's overtime or not! Why can't you fix this? Idiotic.

PS: I did tell the operator that our remotes were RC 73s. Sigh...Question: Should I just shut up and try to use it or t

So I heard back from customer care.  They said they could offer me a refund after the problem is resolved.  I said that's the dumbest customer retention idea I've ever heard of.  They then offered a $20 credit off my current bill. I did ask and recei

Doubleplay has me stuck in 2 channels

Doubleplay has been activated, possibly accidentally, and I can't shut if off.
