    New Genie UI now in CE testing

    If you knew and understood who has started and ran what at all the forums, you’d know that dbstalk is not at all dbstalk2. If it was, it never would needed to have been created in the first place. And if you noticed, no ce was ever actually announced at all. Which was specifically said as...

    DIRECTV in Las Vegas

    Lots of areas here have either 30 or 60. Not 150. But maybe someday...

    Encoding, bandwidth, oh my...

    All the ad boxes on people's homes can't decode a mpeg4 signal so that can't switch to mpeg4 for ad without replacing everyone's boxes. When that happens they will just go to Hi Definition only or as if Hi Definition isn't available. There won't be an Hi Definition and an ad version of the same...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    There is one coming. It's not out yet. And it looks like it may be more than 13 tuners too... I'd wait for that one.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    DIRECTV has a server client based system now. The question is if they will allow more or bigger servers.

    Why doesn't DirecTV use all of the transponders?

    Someone might have a better distance number but I believe You have about a half mile to each side or so of dead center of a orbital slot and a dish down on earth won't really know the difference.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Well can you say if it's any different then say a hr54 and just has different branding on it? Or is it more than that?

    B-Band Converters again

    Am21 was brought out for the HR21 it wasn't years latter. It was always planned that way when they decided to go that route. I'll bet less than 5% of subs use it. Heck NO SD customers do.

    C41 vs C61 for non 4K TV

    I don't think I'd do that personally.... It's got a lot more going on and I don't think it has more power than a c41 or c51. It's got an entirely different set of processor stuff for hvec decoding...

    DIRECTV SD Service on CRT HDTV

    For the cost of anything you'd buy you can likely get moved to Hi Definition service for less and it wouldn't be a lump sum up front it'd be small if any at all over time. As to your question on changining res there are a few tvs that have been made that can do it but most don't. The best I...

    Rumor Alert

    Well until it happens or it's officially announced... We've seen some others in test and never show up.

    Pac 12 Network hope

    This is a little different since att is a major sponsor for pac12. That's not the case with other channels either is missing so I have a feeling most of the rest will happen through natural contract negotiations and not simply happen right now due to the merger like this one could.

    Pac 12 Network hope

    Actually check the post above yours. They did for a short bit. But only nationals. Locals have never been lite.

    What would happen if DISH drops Viacom?

    Dish will do as DIRECTV did and. It hesitate to drop them. The question is will Viacom come back eventually and go with what dish wants like they did with DIRECTV. I am guessing yes.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    And how did you get your hands on it? So I can get my hands on one too?!?? ;)

    Doesn't designated locals eliminate a true free market?

    You seem to be forgetting something about networks. They are affiliates. Read that as franchises if you will. NBC in two adjoining counties in theory are on the same team and don't want to compete with each other. So why would they? Their boss is the same people. They may do non network shows...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    And no 4k output via its HDMI.

    Not happy, being forced to leave Dish.

    Is it just height that is causing the issue? Get a tower that goes up higher to put the dish on. I'm assuming you live in the country side enough that would be feasible.

    DISH Statement Regarding FCC Draft Order on Designated Entity Credits in Auction 97

    I don't know what att and Verizon did exactly, but they shouldn't have gotten it either if they did the same thing. And just because you follow the letter of the law it doesn't mean that you followed the intent of the law, and in this country you can be denied for not following the intent as...

    Is there any way to have the Genie HR44 on an ethernet wired connection?

    Actually Hardware to the hr44 and deca to everything else works great since the hr44 has the equivalent of a DIRECTV Wired Broadband Internet Connection Kit built into it. And if you do mix and match if you know what your doing you are ok. But you have to understand how all the signals will...

    Monoprice has one that is pretty small and around $20 as I recall. Works very well.

    AT&T To Shut Down UVERSE after DIRECTV Merger?

    You should have given the them a copy of the rules from the FCC about sat dishes and then politely said stop bugging me. (Assuming the rules are met). No hoa in the country can keep you from putting up a sat dish on your property if it's not common area. And if you already had it up... I don't...

    8 Receivers Needed for New Home. Nervous about that Genie!!!

    Well you are moving so you can take the equipment you have now and add to it. I'd add a genie and a client. Put the genie and two DVRs and the h21 in the sports room and the client and other non DVRs in the rest of the family and bedrooms. Or get one more DVR and have the genie and three DVRs in...

    DIRECTV says it will go all HD in 2016 , what about DISH?

    You need to use the filter on that excel sheet to make it easy to understand. You have to filter out your market from the rest.. The key is finding your market number... Which shouldn't be to hard, if you scroll to find any one of your local stations call signs first.. Then filter for that...
