Thanks. Have to think about that - I only missed the first 15 minutes.
My stupid DVD recorder doesn’t always come on when I set it to record the digital channel - just freezes - and I forgot to check.
If I ask it to record the same show on analog - no problem. So assuming the digital sends a signal and at least for now the digital signal from CBS isn’t strong enough to “wake up” the tuner in my Panasonic recorder. It does fine on DirecTV but that isn’t asking it to change channels.
Still have an analog tv.
Going into all this detail in case someone else has the problem too. Am thinking I may need to actually manually tune to the digital channel before I turn the recorder off for time recordings. I’ll try that.
Just a couple more points for you to mull over:
While there is no membership or service fee to use Amazon Unbox, you *do* have to download their proprietary DL management software ( about 10 to 15 mb i think ) It manages the DL process, and your DL library, and keeps track of deleting your movie “rentals”.
And if you *do* decide to use the service for other shows or movies, It’s much easier to go through the ordering process, if you are a registereed ‘One Click’ customer, so you don’t have to fill out your CC data every time you want to DL a show or a movie.
I find the way I like to do it, is to buy and send to the DL Que the shows I want, right before bedtime, and then let them DL while i’m sleeping. Saves the grief of a “watched screen”, and doesn’t interfere with my awake time bandwidth.
Man! Maybe Amazon *should* be paying me! >;O)
