    after 25 years I am gonna cancel Dtv.

    I went to DIRECTV stream and in the first two weeks used over 800GB of data. To the OP, I don’t know any wireless prov that will give that much data. I m using StarLink which is great but they do have 1TB cap before potential service degradation I am a fulltime RV’er and was looking for a...

    Multiple Genie’s

    If I use an external hard drive, is there a maximum size? ie; 1TB or a 2TB. I have a Western Digital 1TB USB drive that I don’t use anymore.

    Multiple Genie’s

    I have a Genie DVR in my living room. I Have older HD (500 I think) DVR in the bedroom. I have heard that with the Genie receivers there can only be one DVR. True? Is it a technology issue? Th BR DVR is starting to have issues.

    New receiver/remote question

    After years holding off AT&T from replacing my old DVR with the new Genie my time finally ran out. My old, trusty, receiver started having issues and since AT&T no longer supported it, I had to have the genie put in. It came with a RC73 remote. Now for my question. With my old remote I could...

    Wireless Connection Kit Problem

    my opinion - the wireless connection is a POS. My router PW was too long (I always use 32 characters). I shortened the PW then found out I had 2 special characters that the receiver can't use. So I changed the PW again. Every time I change the PW on my router, I need to change 3 PC's and 2...

    Can I copy recordings from old reciever to new?

    I installed the new receiver and had problems with the online activation so I needed to call tech. spt. After we got it going, I asked again about returning it, indicating I didn't want to see a $ 135 non-return fee. Again, I was told that if I did not get a prepaid return label that I do need...

    Can I copy recordings from old reciever to new?

    I called again this evening. again i was told they don't want it back. The new receiver did not come with a pre-paid return label. The instructions say if there is no pre-paid label then I do not need to return the receiver or the card. The instructions only way that they encourage me to...

    Can I copy recordings from old reciever to new?

    bummer. The tech told me that I didn't need to return the old receiver; they don't want it back. She suggested I may be able to playback from the old receiver even tho the subscriber card is removed (need to return the old card). I am not sure I believe her.

    Can I copy recordings from old reciever to new?

    My HR24 receiver is flaky and keeps powering off on its' own. Called tech. support and they ended up sending me a new (to me) receiver. My wife records old movies and watches them after I go to bed, or when I'm not home. Is there any way to copy them from the old receiver to the new one when...

    MavTV moves to 214 starting 8/21, Fox Sports 1 to 219

    The channel guide now says Speedvision for channel 219; MAVTV on 214. Programmingon 219 has FS1 commercials but looks like MAVTV programs are still being aired! This may go down as the most f'ed up conversion in DirecTV history. Maybe by choice! DirecTV certainly has not provided any...
