    "Moving"

    OK for Giants/Jets, but not every team Just a note- the New York network channels can be accessed nationally since they're used as generic Eastern Time Zone channels. So, you can view them, including NY sports, with a suitable mailing address. BUT... many other cities are serviced by spot...

    NFL Ticket Stand alone and AM21

    I had the same problem, but it affected some sat content, too. The 750 message has something to do with a lack of DirecTV 'Service'. I called DirecTV and during my conversation with the CSR the problem disappeared. I suspect she 'hit' the DVR with some kind of authorization.

    ASU's AD Blasts DirecTV

    Really? How is it that DirecTV has made carriage arrangements with all those other RSNs and athletic conferences but won't make a similar deal with Pac12N? I think the AD is blowing smoke; the Big10 deal includes different treatment for subs based on residing in the Conference's 'footprint.'...

    Genie USB ports

    Communicating via USB Port There is a command protocol that uses the front USB Port. I played with it successfully on the HR2x boxes, but haven't tried it with HR34/44. You need to use specific brand(s) of COM/USB adaptors since it needs to match the built-in drivers in the DTV box. The COM...

    Trouble When HR34 Tries Rebuilding Schedule

    This morning my HR34 was stalled- the screen showed something like 'Rebuilding Schedule' but the animated bar wasn't moving. I red-buttoned the HR34 and it completed its start up, but only explicitly requested programming was scheduled- no series options. When I go to Series Manager, all the...

    HR34 / Genie Sound Anomalies

    My HR34 and Genie Clients often (daily) exhibit choppy sound. The recorded sound is fine, but the playback is not. Pressing stop then play always 'syncs' the sound again as does rewind - play. On rare occasions, when an OTA program switches from local to network content, the sound playback...

    DirecTV's EXTRA INNINGS Is Short-Changing Yankees Fans

    Most Yankees games are available from the YES Network, but several times each month they switch to a New York OTA channel, My9. The announcers, and pretty much everything else, are from YES. Until this season, the EXTRA INNINGS package included the My9 programming when it replaced YES. Today...

    Is there a way to record every game your favorite team plays?

    Thanks for the info! Many baseball & football games run over their scheduled time. Is there anyway to record the games in their entirety?

    HR34 700 Genie Questions

    Just a nit... The DirecTV logo on the client is an on/off switch. The main value is to release a tuner for other needs like recording.

    Genie HR34 & AM21 OTA

    It may be that the HR34 acts differently than other receivers as far as the AM21 is concerned. The zip codes determine which television DMAs you might be able to receive OTA. I don't know what would happen if you could receive signals from more than 2 DMAs. The antennaweb.org site can...

    HDMI 1.4 cable

    You need to pay attention to the HDMI cable. High Speed HDMI 1.3 cables can support all HDMI 1.4 features, including most 3D formats, but only 1.4 supports the barely-used HDMI Ethernet Channel. DrOrb

    HR34 Misses Some OTA Channels

    Update: Attenuating the signal from the local antenna did the trick; the AM21/HR34 combination added all the appropriate OTA channels. Two TVs connected directly to the antennas had no problem with their scanning results. drOrb

    HR34 Misses Some OTA Channels

    Thanks, Iceberg- I didn't realize it was scanning channels- I thought the creeping bar was related to listings. Anyway, each time I try I use 'Initial Settings'. It's true that the most distant (weakest) signals aren't included. But, each time I run it, at least one powerful, close-by...

    HR34 Misses Some OTA Channels

    I have an AM21 connected to the HR34 / Genie. When I set up the Antenna, I specify a zip code in my home DMA, Fort Myers, FL and a zip code in a secondary market, Tampa-St Pete-Sarasota, FL. The resulting list is always missing some valid channels, but different ones each time through. I...

    HDMI Breakout Adapter or Cable

    I use a different solution: I modulate component video and digital audio using Linear products and combine these 'house' channels with OTA for whole house distribution.

    Genie and client slow?

    I think the DTV folks agree with me that the Genie system (HR34 + C31(s)) is work-in-progress. I've hit situations with mine where the response time gets slower and slower with the HR34 and, as a consequence, with the clients. Once in a while I need to do a power down, not just a red button...

    Does my HR34 record whatever channel it was left on? (when shut off)

    Just BTW, when you leave the HR34 or C31 turned on, they usually 'own' tuners. So, if you have three C31s active, even if the associated TVs are off, there are only two tuners available to the HR34 for viewing and/or recording.

    Do you reset your Genie every few days? Client becomes unresponsive at times

    Yes, my recently-installed HR34 starts slowing down over time, then has trouble servicing the C31s, video stutters then the H34 locks up. Mine doesn't do this multiple times per day, though. It *does* require yanking the plug on the HR34 for a few minutes rather than a simple push of the...

    Genie client (c31?) won't power back up

    The DirecTV Logo on the front of the C31 is an On/Off button. The red button on the side is for resetting.
