I don't really see how this DirectTV's fault either. It sounds more like a malfunction with your DVR. Each channel is on a different band width and in the extremely rare possibility, if a possibility at all, the bandwidths crossed - DirectTV has nothing to do with that. Direct TV does not broadcast anything, they do not produce any content and are not a network such as ABC - they are an administrator/facilitator that provides a service.
A good question would be, was anyone watching Good Luck Charlie last night @ 8pm on channel 291 and did this happened to them as well.
**My husband's response - maybe your husband had it set up to record.
My son's response - is your parental controls on to keep that from being viewed? Either way, it is DirectTV's 'fault'. Why do you need someone to blame. Remember the ole saying? Sh!t happens!
