Since it's direct, you don't happen to have one of the DirecTivo units do you? -- nm - droidlet Sep 28, 07:02 1
- Just a Genie -- apparently this is a software issue affecting my box style, but to change out, would lose all the recordings - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:38
What's the problem you're having? - Krusty Sep 28, 06:41 2
- AT&T is bying DirecTv and since AT&T is inept in so many ways, I blame them as a default. - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:38 1
  - Got it. I have DirecTV as well and I've only had one big problem and they fixed it quickly. I do have a old DVR with things on it I'd like to get - Krusty Sep 28, 08:31
Probably not. Looks like they're in a non standard format (unlike tivo files) which means only their hardware will woem -- nm - droidlet Sep 28, 06:31 5
- Work. -- (link) - droidlet Sep 28, 06:32 4
  - That's Dish, not DirecTV. No difference? -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 06:43 3
    - Oh yeah, whoops. -- nm - droidlet Sep 28, 07:01 1
      - :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 07:03
    - From my searching Dish will allow you to move from one DVR to another but DirecTV won't. As for getting them - Krusty Sep 28, 06:48
