I'm off to bed, but I thought I would mention I got my tablet back and now have Marshmallow on it (Android 6.0) and I was able to install the DirecTV for Tablets on it and it comes up properly, so I guess overall everything is up and running and I can call it a success. What I was referring to...

Went out to lunch and tried the DirecTV app again, and this time it came up properly. So, I guess there was something at the other location interfering with it. Now, if only the tablet root will work, I'll be back in business, at least as far as getting the app to work. From what I'm reading...

One other thing. Someone on the ATT DirecTV forums (personally, I think ATT is the whole problem) mentioned that what they did to get it to register was to do Port Forwarding like they had to do for their Genie Go. That might work for you, but I'll tell you what I told him: I had to do port...

I had the latest version for phones on my phone (4.9.406), so that wasn't it. I don't know what uninstalling and re-downloading does, but I just happened to remember reading that somewhere and then saw it again yesterday, so decided to try it.

I ended up removing the app and re-installing it and it now works. However, when I am away from my home network the app won't load, so I'm still dead in the water.

Did you talk to Tech support about it? Did you ever get it to register or are you just working around it? I, too, have an upcoming trip and was hoping to have my stuff available to me although for me it was more at my location because the other people in the group either don't want to watch TV...

I am running the Tablet version. However, I think I may have found the problem. My Samsung tablet must be older than yours. According to DirecTV site I have to have Android version 4.2 or higher and I only have 4.1.2. It's the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.2 original version. Since Android...

Maybe it's just Samsung they have a problem with. I thought Android was Android. What I was doing before was not streaming live TV, but recordings on my Genie, but live TV would be nice too.

Yeah, there are 2 apps. I have the one for Tablets installed. I get a "can't install" message for the other one although I didn't catch the reason (it doesn't stay up very long). When I had GenieGo, I could watch anything on my DVR anywhere as long as I had a good wifi signal. It even worked...

Now that DirecTV has taken away GenieGo which worked very well for me, and I have gotten a box upgrade, the DirecTV app on my tablet no longer works. I get Unsupported SDK Unfortunately this Operating System is not supported by the DIRECTV application at this time..... Anybody know anything...

As far as the usefulness of GenieGo, I used it when I went to my father's house. He didn't have internet and after he died we also disconnected his DISH. Came in handy while cleaning out the house and spending nights there to have some entertainment on hand. As far as equipment goes, we got...

So, I guess I've got some work to do before I change boxes. I have a whole season of Criminal Minds on there among other things. I have until the end of the year to do it. Thanks.

So, I tried it out last night, had it record an hour after I went to bed and it didn't turn anything off. So, as long as I stay within the DirecTV box limit of 4 hours (or change it) I could actually record with the TV off. However, it's unlikely I would do much of that since I would also need...

Sorry, I guess I misread. You only have to pay more if you actually use the 4K service.

I'll have to test it. No biggie anyways since I can no longer use the scheduling part of the recorder unless I know I'm going to be watching anyways. Otherwise, it would just keep recording. Since my viewing habits are not necessarily mainstream, I don't want to be beholden to some streaming...

Now, I can't remember which we got first, the TV or the DirecTV, I'm thinking we got DirecTV first. So, the HDMI cable must've been added when we got the TV since the recorder is not HDMI compatible. We had a professional installer for the TV, but we ran it for a month or so before having it...

Ok, thanks, and thanks for the link. I bookmarked it.

So, it only costs more if you actually use 4K service?

Here's a pic. Does that help? I need more hands.

Won't the 54 cost a lot more in monthly fees?

I think it is component. Those are the plugs with red, yellow, or white on the ends, right?

I do not plan on buying myself. I got an E-mail from them that GenieGo is going away and they are upgrading their app to do those functions. In order to use the full functionality of the DirecTV app, you need to upgrade your receiver. They are offering a complimentary upgrade without a new...

Actually, after feeling around back there, instead of a splitter since these are not coax lines, I think they ran the signal through my DVD recorder.

I sorta asked this in another thread, but I think it got lost in the conversation. Is there any difference in the hook-up of the two devices? It seems to keep the functionality of GenieGo, which is going away, I'll need to upgrade my equipment. Currently, the signal coming out of my receive is...

It looks like 2 different offers to me. However, bait and switch is the correct term even if he didn't say yes. They baited you to get you in the store (or to call) and then changed the offer.
