DirecTV subscriber since 1995 I live in rural South Texas Only internet options are two WISPs and Satellite The WISPs are expensive and “slow” Nearby small town of 1700, Time Warner was the cable provider, now Spectrum They only provide SD channels, no internet, no HD, no DVR Their website...

As close as you are to the border, just get a regular SLIMLINE DISH with a SL3 LNB, unless you need the SL5, if you get a SWM LNB be sure to get a power inserter and switch If you have HD reception issues, you may need a Alaska/Hawaii dish for Mexico...

I live in a rural area, been with DirecTV since 1995, the only "real" high speed internet here is two wireless "WISP" providers. While service has improved somewhat in the last 12 years, it is no where near stable enough or fast enough to support full time streaming HDTV. Time Warner is the...

Account Stacking? To me this is one customer having several extra receivers distributed to family/friends in different locations on their own separate dish. Now the Customer who has an extra receiver in the guest house on his property, camper he uses occasionally, or deer camp, while...

Good Question, But in my case I was trying to use a Cellular iPad and a Desktop PC. I called DirecTv, they could give me no Explanation, and forwarded the matter up the line. I "should" hear a reply soon.....

If I can't stream my local Networks away from my home, but in the same county when Football is on, I want to know why?

Ok, after the two NFL Games were over, I can stream Fox 26 now on my PC & iPad, is this some kind of tactic to not let us stream NFL Games on the local networks we subscribe too??? Very odd that I could stream before and after, but not during.

Ok, did it fix your local channels?

Yes, all other channels work fine.... Update; away from home, trying to stream FOX 26 Houston for the Texans then Cowboys game ( The Texans game is on FOX instead of CBS because they are playing the Bears ) I tested it 2 hours before the Game and FOX Pre-Game streamed just fine on my iPad & PC...

Ok Directv APP works great on iPhone 6s and cellular iPad Mini 2, whether on wifi or cellular signal. BUT... I only have my Houston FOX & ABC Locals, no CBS or NBC.... Really wanted to be able to stream Sunday & Sunday Night Football when away from home, what gives? Is there some streaming...

I have a Genie system now, but I also have a H24 & H25 as well. The H24 is nice as I can use a regular SL3 LNB and not have to worry about the Power Inserter. I'm still using an old Phase 3 with SL3 LNB, I've been meaning to get a DishNet dish to use for camping......

As to what was said above, if your Uncle has a H25 or Genie receivers, the dish you posted with the LNB that it has WILL NOT WORK. FYI; You can also use that dish with a "normal" SL3 LNB, or a SWM-3 LNB with a power inserter, no multi-switch, to get HD on a newer receiver. The Phase 3 dish can...

Thanks, I tested it and it works, thanks.

Ok, I recently upgraded from a whole home HR24 Protection plan refurb replacement POS to a new HR54 and two mini-genies. I kept a H25-700 for my camper, and the installer said it would require a SWM LNB, and sold me a power inserter and SL3 SWM LNB for $20 off of his truck before he left. I...

Subscriber since 1995, I still own most of my boxes except my DVR. Through the Protection Plan I have upgraded all of my OLD RCA Receivers to newer models, even my HD Receivers. But I've had to call Directv several times after Receiver replacement because they would change them from "Owned"...
