I just recently returned to D* after about 18 months away. Why? Well, my streaming experience was hit and miss. Not every streaming service had all of the sports channels that I want. I had PQ issues with D* Stream as it often disconnected from my network. I decided to return to D* because...

I also had issues with Red Zone. I had a CSR reset my account and it worked just fine after their update.

In another thread, I posted that I have officially cut the cord and transitioning to DirecTV Stream. Of course, having gone down this road before, I knew that a retention agent would try to contact me to entice me to stay. They called 4 times today and I finally answered the last call. The...

I have been a DirecTV customer on/off since 1999. I have been preparing for the inevitable switch to a streaming service. I have experimented with DirecTV stream, Fubo, and Comcast's stream to get a taste of options. Yesterday, I saw my bill from D* and for some reason it got to me. I...

I am having a constant issue with my wireless Genie clients losing their network connectivity. I have the dreaded HR-17 (Genie II) and I also have a stand-alone WVB. The HR 17 is located in my basement and the WVB is located upstairs. I was told that this would work...however... As I was...

Amazing deal. If only other sport packages could roll back the prices.

I presume I would need 3 clients for an HR54. Here's what I am thinking about a future set-up: 1-HR54 1-C61K 2-H24 or 25s 2-HR24 3-C41W I have a 4K lmb slimline 3 dish.

I am considering reconfiguration of my DirecTV setup. I have the HS17 (Genie 2) which surprisingly I have not had issues with over the 2 plus years that I have had it installed. I guess I am one of the few out there! I do have a lot of televisions in my home and all are connected to a...

I have missed the original concept of Classic Sports before ESPN acquired it. I used to enjoy watching the old NFL weekly highlight shows from the 60's and 70's. I can now find those on YouTube.

I think this clearly shows that one DBS provider values the RSNs, while the other doesn't. I realize sports is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a major factor for me. Yes, I may pay extra for that privilege and I am willing to do so. I think one of the big gets with this deal is the...

AT&T & Sinclair Agree To a New Deal to Keep Sinclair Owned Channels Including Fox RSNs on DIRECTV, AT&T TV NOW, U-verse TV, & More - Cord Cutters News That should put away any doubt about DirecTV losing the former Fox RSNs for a while.

Not so fast. The RSNs are here to stay. AT&T & Sinclair Agree To a New Deal to Keep Sinclair Owned Channels Including Fox RSNs on DIRECTV, AT&T TV NOW, U-verse TV, & More - Cord Cutters News

As I understand it, the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox all re-upped with NBC Sports Chicago, so there will be no defections. The Cubs are following the Dodgers model with Spectrum Sportsnet LA. The only difference is that the Dodgers model is operated by a cable company, and Marquee is...

But let us not forget the Fox (Sinclair) RSNs, Fox O & O/FS1/FS2, HBO/Cinemax disputes that are going on with Dish at the moment. This has been the legacy of Dish Network for nearly 20 years. DirecTV rarely had issues at first, but they have been more pronounced over the past few years just...

Don't be surprised is the name "Diamond" is used. Sinclair's purchase of Fox RSNs approved by Justice Department
