Not getting Man Show or Ozbornes on Direct TV

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

Are you talking about searching with DTiVo? If so, try searching for "Man
Show" and it will probably come up as "Man Show, The". I don't know about
"oZbornes" but spell is "oSbornes" and see if that gets results. Are they
still on the air after the dismal last season?

Did you set your "parental filters"?
According to http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/themanshow/ it's
on, well "Comedy central"
Do you get that channel?

http://www.mtv.com/onair/osbournes/ says it still on MTV! (ick!)
Don't you get MTV?

So, if those programs are still (sadly) being produced and aired,
then DEMAND that you tell your receiver to "bugger off", by reading
the owner's manual so as to allow YOU to have full control of what
you want to watch!

THEREFORE, once you know that you have those channels that have
those TV shows you want to watch are available, then enter it into
yer "database", and have at it!

It really IS that simple!
