    DIRECTV Cancels its Retailer Show "Revolution"

    The reason why there were so few dealers is that AT&T dropped all but the most elite ones as well as the ones who were not mobile centric in their business model. Why pay residuals when you can keep the money to help pay for your losses? The last two times it was at caesars I stayed across...

    DIRECTV Cancels its Retailer Show "Revolution"

    I wished you could smell sarcasm on the interweb. I have some disdain for AT&T and this was an opportunity to bash them. Revolution was a decent conference until AT&T got involved. Last year was the first year I didn't attend in about 10 years. AT&T decided the smaller DTV dealers that...

    DIRECTV Cancels its Retailer Show "Revolution"

    What an easy "excuse" for them to not have their crappy little convention that has gotten crappier each and every year. And what happened to them saying they would never, ever go back to Vegas?

    DVR streaming out of home going away

    In a notice from AT&T it is announced that effective March 4, 2019 that streaming DVR recordings will no longer be available out of home. How is it AT&T is moving backwards, when it seems that all of the other major providers allow this feature?

    Directv App Issues

    Thus far no one at DTV has been able to suggest anything... I have the DTV app on three different devices - ipad 3, ipad 5, and samsung s6 edge. I have an HR44. When you go to register the device, the app says "could not activate DVR for downloading or streaming please try again (100)"...

    Direct no longer selling cards for leased receivers?

    Directv is currently replacing residential SD equipment in certain DMAs, and we are currently swapping out everything on the SMATV side. Even if you found a previously owned D12 receiver I highly doubt they will activate it. H24 receivers will accept both legacy and SWM signals, and SWM8...

    Awesome Directv headend I'm building for a hotel

    at revolution they announced it will be cheaper to use h25s over d12 as they will be dropping the buydown for the d12s and changing pricing on the h25s. this is so when the 101 bird drops in 2019 that you will still be able to get a signal.

    Android aiming applications

    I have been using Satellite AR for all of my aiming and it works great when I have 4G or wifi service. Coworker recently (finally) got himself an android smartphone, but his site surveys / installations take him out to extreme rural areas. Has anyone purchased the dishpointer "pro" app and...

    Did DirecTV and AMC come to an agreement?

    AMC was not removed from hotel packages. Directv stated not many L&I accounts were using that channel in their headends, so they removed it from the "entertainment" package but kept it in the "ultimate" package. AMC is avail if hotels have the entertainment package by adding what they call...

    HR24 transfer shows?

    you can also try going to channel 1, then hitting "red red blue blue yellow green" - this sometimes clears up a finicky drive
