    4K resolution problem

    im asking this for my son who just had an HS17 install last weekend. I went to 105 and there was a banner that said this tv doesn’t support 4K so the program was in 1080P. I went to settings and under Diplay-TV resolutions, 4K was unchecked so I checked it and it acknowledged that the tv did...

    4K

    Maybe thats whats hooked to the other mini thats in the same bedroom as the modem and router.Coax comes out of the floor into a splitter. one out goes to the mini and the other goes to the little box with 3 green lights that the ethernet cable goes out to my router. So maybe if I move the HR54...

    4K

    Well I tried swapping out the locations. both the dvr and the mini only had power HDMI and coax. the mini saw the tv as 4k compatible but the hr54 couldn't find the satellite. Im now assuming the coax line coming into the living room is carrying the signal from the dish so until there is more...

    4K Programs

    It was mentioned in one of the many articles I went through. Probably has a lot to do with Comcast and NBC being partners. I know I got the equipment to do it I just don’t know if it’s worth th hassle moving things around for one channel of programming especially if there’s no Olympic coverage...

    4K Programs

    I have already seen on other sources that there will be no 4K for the Super Bowl so now I’m wondering about the Winter Olympics. So far the only outlet with a firm commitment seems to be Comcast. Directv and Dish are listed as possible but no commitment. Has anyone heard any different? Right now...

    4K

    OK Upon further review, the HR54 in the Living Room only has power supply, coax and HDMI hooked to it. The mini in the bedroom close to the router has all the splitter, power thing and ethernet connections. The second mini in Bedroom 2 only has power, coax and HDM So I'm thinking if I just...

    4K

    OK I have 2 c61 minis and the account has 4k activated (free). I just need to know if all I need to do is unplug everything from the back of the HR54 and move it to a room with a mini and plug it in there. The mini is simply power and HDMI. the HR54 has some other stuff in between the coax and I...

    4K

    Just got a 4K Tv and a while back I was told I had 4K compatibility at no extra charge but the “main” DVR didn’t do it but both Genie units will. Am I correct in assuming I can just unplug the main DVR and move it to another room and take the mini and hook it to the 4K TV by only plugging it to...

    Recording problem

    I’ll try setting it up again with 3 and 3:30. I know in the past if the manager on a show was set to “all” then it would record all episodes, even duplicates. I would be glad to record all 3 then she could delete the mislabeled repeat at 12:30 if she’s already seen it.

    Recording problem

    our local station has Judge Judy on at 12:30, 3, and 3:30 daily. The 12:30 description is always wrong, stating that it is a new one but it is not. The 3:00 description is identical and is the right show. If I set to record first run, it records 12:30 and skips 3:00 so my wife misses the new...

    DirecTV has crazy retention deals right now

    I went from 123 down to 70 a month just calling the # that showed up on FaceBook two weeks ago. They have since shut that # off. It went straight to Loyalty/retention. I didn't threaten to leave or anything. Just asked if i could get in on the deals I'd been hearing about. I keep all the same...

    Retention offers are worse.

    I keep premiums on a seasonal basis like Starz for the Pirates and showtime for Ray Donovan etc. Nearly every time I call to drop one after the show ends, they always seem to offer some sort of discount or two for one deal. HBO is the smart one of the bunch cause there never seems to be a time...

    Major DIRECTV Outage?

    From what I vaguely remember from my C band days, the solar outages would occur about the same time for a couple of days and I could bump the dish right or left and still keep a bit of a signal. The old OnSat Magazine always had a warning of when they might occur. Had it been solar related I...

    No Offers For Long Time Customer

    There used to be a thing around the anniversary of your signup date that I got for maybe 3 years then they stopped it. Seems like i got Starz-Encore free for a while one time then Showtime. The last one I got was sportspak for 3 months which happened to be Jan-March so only good for hockey and...

    Rain Fade.....Any Bigger Dish Solutions?

    That has been my experience the last couple of years. Rain fade was terrible with the older dish and receivers but I don't seem to see it near as often with the Genie and Slimline....I don't have scientific data to back it up it just seems like its much better than it used to be.
