I just checked my guide and it shows the King's/Grizzley game at 5 o'clock. So I'm pretty sure its on. It might just be a guide glich on your end..

Guide data is provided by the station. If it's not there its not Directv or Dishes fault.

If your looking on the Directv HD channel it wont be there. It's on on the SD.

Hmmmm! Ch 767 is the channel on AT&T Uverse for Comcast Sport Net-CA, the channel that usually carries Kings game. I'm not seeing that channel in my on-air guide for Monday at 5 pm. To be honest, I've never noticed whether it has been there before.

I suspect the whole problem might be that he hasn't updated his program guide recently. My guide - on DishNetwork - does show the game being broadcast starting at 5 p.m. on the Comcast Sports Network (channel 409).

I'm not sure I understand this, VF21. Is this something I should be doing as well? :confused:

its going to be shown here too.. around 9am ill be able to watch while im doing my thing :D
This is good. I'll be able to watch it on a real TV. I got the NBA League Pass Broadband Int'l and almost always it took me 3-4 hours to finish watching the game replay. It was either my computer, or my connection having some problem. :eek:

Nope. Your receiver should do it automatically but if you have that function shut off - or set to be performed only when your receiver is inactive and you never shut it off - then you'll occasionally need to reboot the system. It doesn't happen often but according to my friend in the business it is something that he occasionally gets calls about.

Sort of. On the diretv boxes they do housekeeping when "turned off (light off)", but they still should get the guide data during the night. I belive the dish are the same way.

The guide data comes from a few different companys that provide the service. I'm not sure what ATT uses, but could be different than DTV and Dish.

The season is far along enough that the games should be in their time slots and not another program, especially for CSN-CA. There shouldnt be any shows showing up except kings games. unlike last year where news 10 screwed up over half the games.

I have an abundance of choices. Dish and Direct. However Direct tv shows the game on channel 698 comcast california. I have discovered that with the direct tv recievers that are DVR, they sometimes get overloaded with recordings and become sluggish. Sometimes a hard reboot will jog them back to normal. I've also had to go in and do a factory reset on one of my receivers to get it to come back to normal speed. Of course you lose all recorded programs when you do that, which is a pain.

Which receiver?

You should also do a soft reboot when ever possible. the red reset buttion should be a last resort.

There was a software rollout a while back that caused some problems. They had a fix a few days later.

Actually, I don't have a red reset button. I did the factory reset through the menu. The reciever that I have is a model R22-100. Direct TV plus. Dolby digital..

About a month and a half ago, maybe longer, it started moving in slow motion. I tried everything including a hard reset. I finally gave up and just did a factory reset throught the setup part of menu. You can be selective about the reset, but I just decided to do the whole ball of wax since I didn't have all that much recorded at the time.

I just went and checked league pass, and I don't see it there. I thought maybe it might be on NBA TV, but their showing a different game. Could be the only place to see it tonight is on comcast california.. Bummer for those that only have league pass.

Time to upgrade to HD. :D

The red reset button is by the access card.

This unit did have some problems for a while and still has some.

Does Memphis televise all their games? The only reason I can think of that they wouldn't have it on league pass would be if there wasn't a home feed for the game...

This used to happen with Toronto games a long time ago. I don't remember why - think it was something to do with Canadian vs. US broadcast rights - but it was certainly a pain in the patoot.

I'm guessing you're in the business. Thanks for clarifying the point I was trying to make. I'm not in the business so I wasn't sure of the technicalities involved.
