DirecTV

[Nicola]

Totally unrelated to casinos but was hoping to reach some US members in this part of CM.

Had DirecTV installed last month, really happy with the service/channels etc but one thing is really bugging me. If I choose to record a programme manually (or part of a ongoing series) and that channel runs late due to Golf, Basketball overrunning etc (CBS is pain with this at weekends), I miss part or all of the programme I wanted to record. Is there anyway around this?

On my SKY TV (British equivalent of DirecTV) the programme guide automatically knows a programme is running late and adjusts the start/finish time. For example the FA Cup overran by 80 minutes this evening and re-programmed to record Britans Got Talent at the later time.

Thanks for any help, Customer Services had no idea what I was ranting about in my British accent!

Record the program you're wanting to watch and also record the program following the one you're wanting to watch, problem solved.
I have the same issue with Comcast DVR when sports go into overtime etc..

The DVR will not adjust program times therefore if there's a chance of a program running over you'll need to do it manually by recording both so you don't miss anything.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Well, each to their own.

Thanks, will try to remember that next time around.

I have an excuse this year, my local village idiot makes an appearance this season

Can't they simply put him/her in the village stocks and pelt them with stale fruit and rubbish? Same humiliation and embarrassment, but without being prolonged to fill up hours of the dross-TV schedules.

I did not know that you could get DirecTV in the UK, is it the same as the US version Direct Tv cause when I lived in the US I had it and really liked the service. Just curious.
