Directv HD package problems!!?

Question

Anyone else set a season pass for an HD channel through Directv and go to turn it on just to see IT DIDN'T RECORD!!! What is going on with Directv?? All of the local HD channels always come in fine but with the Science channel, Discovery channel and all the rest up there it is hit or miss...wtf???

Answer 1

No - never had a problem.  Maybe you have a misaligned dish for the channels not coming in.  As for recording - there is no season pass option - what are you talking about?  You can set manual times, individual shows or new episodes only.  If you set new or first run only - that's all you get - reruns will not record.

Answer 2

it sounds like your dvr is behind on software or just didnt update properly try to force a firmware update and see if this fixes it A firmware download can be forced by doing this.

Reboot the system with the little red button in the smart card door on the front of unit  When the first screen appears, press 02468 using your remote control
