Guys, I've been on the HBO $10/month promotion for YEARS. It was supposed to be a "forever" deal as far as I know. However, I just got notified via email today that it is expiring in 3 months. Did anyone else get this email? Does anyone have any verbiage from the deal that talks about an...

For sure! I'm a boxing fan and am well aware of what this is going to be. I wasn't planning to order it but my son and some of his buddies from college (only about half an hour away) were wanting to see it and I told them I'd buy it if they wanted to come out. It's easier than them trying to...

It isn't that ordering online is that inconvenient...I guess I just wish I could get an answer from DIRT. I don't order PPV often enough for it to be a big issue.

Yeah, I'd love for DiRT to chime in to confirm. It is a bit disconcerting ordering a $99 PPV on multiple TVs. Years ago, I was at a friend's house and it would only come up on the TV he ordered the fight on. He called Dish and they told him that he would have to pay for it on other TVs. After...

Guys, I've searched. I've googled. I've yet to find a definitive answer. If I order a PPV like the McGregor-Mayweather fight on one of my receivers, will it be viewable on my other receivers? It seems like in the past I would have to order it via the website in order for it to be turned on...

UPDATE: For those asking, this is an older receiver. It doesn't support HDMI control. It doesn't even have digital audio input. Like I said, it is old--from the mid 1990s. Also, I texted my dad and told him to call DirecTV and explain the issue to see if he could get a tech to walk him...

Ok, thanks. Maybe we'll go that route. It still seems like a huge step backwards to not support audio receivers in the newer remotes. I just don't understand it. Why would it even let you program the remote to supposedly control an audio receiver (it let's me pair it to the Pioneer receiver...

Another question: does DirecTV make a decent universal remote that will work with the new Genies via RF? I'm seeing one called an RC32RF. Will that work? If not, is the rc6x the best way to go for a DirecTV specific universal remote? Thanks in advance!

Then I have to ask: What is the point of allowing you to configure an audio receiver in the settings?

Alternately, is there a way to look up and manually enter codes into the RC73 for an audio receiver?

It is my understanding from reading online that you have to program the TV before you will have the option to program the audio system--or at least before it will work. As I said above, it lets me go through and set up the Pioneer VSX455 audio receiver...it has the exact model listed...but it...

Yes.

I'm a Dish Network guy and have been for close to 20 years. But my 70-year-old parents just got DirectTV. The system they got has a Genie RC73 remote. The installer programmed it to work with their Sony TV. All of that is fine. However, they have an older Pioneer receiver (model VSX-455)...

Nope, not a Vizio tv. It is a Sony. I've PMing with one of the DiRT guys so hopefully we will get it figured out. The switch on the remote is set to UHF and the System Info screen says it is IR/UHF. I don't think there is a way to turn off IR. I don't see one.

I have a VIP 722k DVR. For a while my remote (a 21.0 IR/UHF) has been flakey. It doesn't seem to respond. I have to either hold the buttons down a long time or hit them multiple times. Here's what is strange: I accidentally discovered that when I put my hand over the IR sensor on the remote...

3 batteries were fine, but 1 had crapped the bed. I replaced all of them and it worked. Sorry for the obvious problem.

Guys, I have a VIP612 controlled by a 6.4 IR/UHF remote. Today, it quite controlling anything. All of a sudden it doesn't control the Dish receiver, the tv or the stereo that it has controlled for years. The batteries are fine and the lights all still light up. Any idea? Do remotes just go...

Well, no sooner did I post it than I figured out the problem. I went to the other room where the 2nd tuner was being used (sparingly) and turned on the TV. At some point it had been tuned to a local OTA channel that wasn't getting a signal. It was keeping me from streaming and wasn't even...

I have a VIP722K with the red Dish Sling adapter. A week or two ago it quit working properly. When I tried to connect via DishAnywhere.com or the iOS app I would get a Satellite Signal Lost message. It still shows the guide and everything but it won't stream anything. To be clear, the...

I was just chatting online with Dish 5 minutes ago and they said that they had JUST received word that an agreement had been reached and channels would be returning momentarily.

I had to do this recently as well. Just put your Amex info in there and submit it. If you check back it WILL say "American Express" in the drop down. Somehow it is a hidden option, but it WILL work.

It doesn't have an OTA tuner I don't believe. I just hooked an antenna up to the TV and the locals are fine that way.

No, as this would be a pretty major ordeal. I may have to tackle it, but I haven't yet.

I am watching SATELLITE DELIVERED locals through the 612 when it happens.

Matt, This has been going on for weeks. It is hard to say how often, but pretty darn often. For example, this past Saturday afternoon I was watching football games on ABC. I started watching around noon and it was pretty unwatchable due to the jerkiness of the audio/video. I hooked an...
