Ellen_ What you describe is another peeve of mine. I do see music info
being updated for some of the channels but slower then MusicChoice did. At
times the info is wrong for the song playing... the next song etc.. Even

That's bizarre, since XM radio receivers all display the info. It's not
like DTV has to get the information from some new, untested source.
Maybe they are trying to use the now-abandoned Wink Interactive TV data
channels to propagate the music channel data, and don't have it synced up
right. I know Wink was pretty out-of-sync when they first tried it.

Wink Interactive was not available on the DirecTV DVR.

DirecTV had a problem with updating current selection details
in the first couple of weeks after XM replaced Music Choice.

On both of our DVRs, first and next generation DirecTV DVRs, the text
on the XM channels is displaying in an identical manner as it did
for Music Choice. It slowly appears a line at a time.

Some may not know the methods for getting the text and removing it.
Press Info or Display if current selection details are not on screen.
Press Clear to remove the screen text. Each function is on a DVR remote,
the standalone receiver remote buttons might be labeled differently.
