Guffalo Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Turned on the television for pregame stuff, and "Searching for signal" came up, checked all connections, dinked around with the card, called Direct TV, nothing, it is cloudy, but me neighbor a mile away is getting signal. IS there an internet way to see the game????
Guffalo Posted October 1, 2006 Author Posted October 1, 2006 try resetting your box 790972[/snapback] Did that, still stumped....
Nanker Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Gee, my Time Warner Cable is working great. 790999[/snapback]
Arkady Renko Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 When I had DirecTV I had something like that once and the card was just busted and they had to send a new one. Not sure if that's the case here, but if it is... look for a sports bar! They won't be able to fix it in time.
inkman Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 1. Get dressed 2. Find keys 3. Get into car 4. Start car 5. Drive car 6. Stop at sports bar 7. Go into Bar 8. Demand Bills to be put on TV 9. Order Beer 10. Enjoy game
Buftex Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Seriously though, can't you call a service tech? 791005[/snapback] My buddy, a Vikings fan is having a problem too! It is a little cloudy here as well, but no rain or anything...He will be joing a Bills crowd at the Tavern! Sorry man, Direc TV may have the NFL ticket, but you will never convince me it is a better product than digital cable...
YOOOOOO Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 sh-- happened to me last week..... I reset the box and it worked after an hour
todd Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Gee, my Time Warner Cable is working great. 790999[/snapback] With the problem that in Rochester, they don't offer fox in HD. Because they are effing stupid. Not offering a major network in HD? Stupid.

VABills Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 If you have the HD package with Directv it isn't subject to the blackout. last weekend, while the Skins was blocked on the SD feed, I checked if they had the HD transmitted in HD. Sure enough. Of course it's local, so I didn't have to worry, but I was more curious than anything else. If you only get local Fox in SD on the locals, check the HD grouping if you ordered that package.
Corp000085 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 if a hard reset (pull the plug, wait 5 minutes, plug back in) does not work, its probably something more serious, like your card got fried because your receiver is funky... ling term solution: new receiver. Short term solution: head to a bar... Bring your laptop so you can gain access to TBD... ladies love laptops at bars
Frez Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 if a hard reset (pull the plug, wait 5 minutes, plug back in) does not work, its probably something more serious, like your card got fried... Time for a new receiver. head to a bar 791052[/snapback] How much for a new receiver?
Corp000085 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 How much for a new receiver? 791053[/snapback] don't know... probably free if you say the right things.
