Thank you for the info. You were correct that my ESPN issue had nothing to do with the satellite problem. I discovered that the wind had blown a lawn chair against the dish base (it's on the ground) and it had moved a just a fraction of an inch. I gently moved the base back to its former...

All of my satellite channels have come back online except for two - ESPN (channel 206) and ESPN2 (channel 209). They still default to an internet connection. This is especially weird in that the other ESPN channels (207 and 208) are being received from the satellite. Unless some of the ESPN...

So glad I found this post regarding the outage. I had been holding on the DirecTV customer service line for almost one hour, listening to a recording of 2 "pigeons" "Bobby" and "Frank" playing over and over while I waited. They were promoting DirecTV Stream instead of satellite, which I find...

I posted a thread concerning Nexstar and NFL Folotball about 3 hours ago. It showed briefly on the Directv General Forum and the disappeared.

I am severely nearsighted with my uncorrected vision about 20/500. In addition, I have an eye condition called Kerataconus in my right eye which means the cornea covering the eye comes to a cone shaped point rather than being curved. I have had 4 cornea transplants over the years from deceased...

I've watched many live "Footy" matches during my numerous trips to Australia and have subscribed to the Watch AFL streaming package for the past 5 years. It costs approximately $130 (US) per year and is worth it for dedicated fans. I do see that FS1 and FS2 are showing more matches than previous...

What we are saying is that 719.1 (D*Sat) shows the "You are authorized - enjoy the season" mesage during the free preview, but then reverts to you not being authorized after the free preview. A viewer might assume that they were getting the programming for free based on the original message.

The same thing happens to me every time a new sports season begins such as MLB Baseball, Sunday Ticket Football, Hockey, etc. DirecTV usually has a free preview for a few days to encourage subscriptions and during that free preview, I receive a message on a channel saying "You are all set to...

DaveKL69 asked the question about switching from regular DIRECTV to Stream without penalty. Any answers??

I have not rebooted. I'm new to the Mini and didn't even notice the red button. I'll give reboot a try - thanks.

It does only happen through the Client. The same recording through the HR44-200 is fine.

It's when watching a recording through the small Mini Receiver. It just happened again a few minutes ago.

Two weeks ago, I replaced an old HR24 with a Genie Mini and linked it to my existing HR44-200. All was good for the first week but now a problem has developed while watching recordings on the Genie. The recording will suddenly stop and a screen will be displayed which reads "DirecTV is waiting...

I stream ESPN+ solely for college basketball. Some games from the Big 10 (Kansas, Texas, Baylor) and many other conferences are only on ESPN+, nowhere else. After the basketball season ends, I'll drop it until next fall..

I have an HR44 as the main receiver so replacing the HR24 with a Genie is okay. The instructions to return the HR24 said it should go to a recycling location, not back to DIRECTV. The instructions also said to go to that website to print out a pre-addressed label and then take the package to a...
