I think it may be a factor of how you watch direct - me, for instance seldom watch anything live, so i could walk in say "alexa do my stuff", tv comes on, receiver comes on, lights go down, direct load "n w playing", and maybe fine control here, I say play Shades of Blue - It is failrly simple...

I really wouldn't want to argue the point - voice control has some use to me ( I'm an early echo adopter) but fine control is not its forte... I use it with my audio system, Plex on a NAS, for quick control. I would like to see if it added anything to the experience (note: they say with a remote...

The last time I checked quite a bit od programming was required to marry alexa and direct - was hoping that a skill was now available to load out of the box (?)

Have genie, 2 minis, have 2 tivos - 4 family members - had vote 3 tivo, 1 genie.

I realize that this is a requirement here to question why anyone would want a Tivo, so I'll do the dance.. I have a genie ( with2 pups), 1 Tivo HD already, SWM connected. The Tivi will be on a seperate dish (for reasons having nothing to do with connections, networking, etc.) My wife hates the...

yes (well no, but I need this one on its own dish).

I am putting in a Tivo HD . The old unit, of course, had the old 18" round dish. What does the Tivo HD need in terms of which dish and cabling?

I have a genie (with 2 minis), a HD tivo, and, on its own dish, a SD Tivo. The latter is developing problems. If I ask direct to replace it what will I get? I do have the what ever you call it fix it plan I pay for each month. Note: the 2 tivos above were a "wife" requirement - she hates the...

"My professional advice is remove the tivo from your system..." Don't be shy, say what you really think. I'm sorry, I don't confuse religion with DVR's :-), I use both - each has its (to me) its strengths and weaknesses - I do wish directv had done a full fledged tivo, matching the cable...

Now it gets really odd, the tivo shut itself down, rebooted, came back up and everything works. I've been with directv since its initial test run in lower Mississippi and Louisiana and I "ain't seen this before". i will report any further anomalies. I appreciate those who tried to help.

I have a genie with 2 babies and a tivo, all on the same dish/switch. This morning I got a 771 error on the tivo only. The genie is operating fine. I checked the cable to the tivo, appears fine all the way to the switch. The tivo itself is responding to commands very slowly but does play. I did...

Way back it was said that if you changed your deal with direct you stood to lose the existing old package you might have - I would prefer to keep the package I have, I also have distant networks, I believe I am grandfathered (?), and don't won't to lose them. Anyone have the story on this...

Let's hope - and while we are hoping let's hope no cut in personnel, etc., and all the "stuff" that has made direct what it is. Large companies increase profits by centralizing personnel across their various branches when they can - done right its fine, done poorly its a consumer's nightmare...

re: AT&T proposed purchase of Directv - my daughter has ATT cell and constantly compains about their customer service, so i worry about what will happen to Direct's CS if ATT buys. As to channels, yes, mostly, ;-\ I guess my point is I'm suffering from "mission creep", a few channels became...

I found myself reviewing our media bills - direct, comcast (internet and some tv), netflix, and I guess part of Amazon's prime - We've been with direct since the initial test in LA and MS, adopted the tivo the minute we could get one, have a genie AND a tivo HD currently.. and are spending too...

I'll well aware I could phone and ask but thought it a good idea to see what others had managed. I have genie with 2 pups and a Tivo HD. What's a good deal to add starz?

wow... Tivo is so awful, etc. - well maybe so, I have a genie with 3 mini's, and a HD Tivo. After 6 months I casually checked the two, and, surprise, family members used the tivo more. Thinking it was location, I moved it to another room where a mini had been - use remained the same. oddly...

thank you for pointing me in the right direction, and yes it worked.

When I select this item i get only showcases - this machine is networked (yes I know it can't do some things a genie can, I have a genie on the same network), since it specifically names music I was hoping that it too could see my NAS music server as do my genie and her minnies. Should I have...

And I am back, its working finally! Just kept re-setting and re-doing, may have been related to lower case "router name" <?> thanks for the help.

I really appreciate the help, yes it is wireless CCK, but no ethernet cable is connected ti it (or elsewhere). The cable from the dish is on the right terminal and a short coax the other to the 34. Been through setup several times- once or twice the genie reported the correct info, 192.x.x.x...

New genie install, sad to say not 44, everything ok BUT tech couldn't get the decca box (?) to find the net. When set for wireless kept saying ethernet, then wouldn't connect. Tried second box with similar results. The router is "seeing" other wireless in the area to include the Roku box one...

My wife hates the replacement SD DVR we got when one of our old tivos bit the dust, hates it to the point that she refuses to talk about a genie if it operates the same. Does the genie use similar?

"More like a Genie free and probably clients to go with the Genie, however I would recommend getting a HR24 (HD DVR) to go with the Genie.".... what kind of deal could I get on that? unfortunately the "boss" wants tivos, I plan to keep one or two old SD tivos for a total of 4 tvs. BUT...

I have been with directv since the beginning, I want to upgrade to HD (I am currently SD) with 2 HD tivos, I'm offered one "free" - what kind of deal has anyone got on a second one? Is it true that "broken" HD tivos are being replaced with "directv-HD" units? I have lifetime DVR, what fees...
