    At times Joey units won't pause

    At times either of our two Joey 2.0 units will refuse to pause recorded content. When you press pause it will advance a moment or two, then pause then play. Eventually it will pause after a few attempts. We don't recall this happening on the Hopper unit.

    Thinking of returning once again

    I had an appointment yesterday for DIRECTV but LOS issue with the 103 sat - so no go. I know in the past the Eastern Arc dish was pointed to a higher elevation in the horizon - which clears the trees better. Connecticut My biggest questions are: - does E* still have eastern and western...

    its been awhile -- have basic questions

    oh main reason for maybe coming back ironically is AT&T -- I really like their wireless service and with Unlimited data I may switch from VZW to them... And it seems DirecTV is priced better now at $50 flat no more dvr fee, 2nd unit, HD etc...

    its been awhile -- have basic questions

    I've been away from DTV for over 18 months -- in the Conn area what type of dish do they install for a standard 2 room install HD etc etc (3lnb or 5lnb) and do they do ground installs now or still only on roof? Lastly by 2nd room has a failing coax cable -- how good is the new wireless mini...

    looking for recommendation on size of PVC pipe to use...

    I currently have a 5LNB slim mount on my roof... sans the actual dish. I have a arial antenna installed but since the mount is actually mounted to the side of the roof, one of the support arms is blocking me from turning the antenna in the direction I need to aim it at. SO What is the...

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    so for your 2nd year of service they don't give any discount to the squeaky wheel?

    AT&T selling U-verse in Ct

    What I find as odd, is that I have seen at least one VRAD being setup in Torrington. And I think a drop for two more. the odd part in my mind is Torrington doesn’t have UVerse TV and with this hand off to Frontier - why bother?

    IR remote extender for mini genie?

    well Installer came with HR44 and 41 - I was very happy.... ... but I forgot in the excitement to switch the 41 to RF... installer already left. And for the life of me I can't switch it to RF. I actually thought the HR44 and 41 was only RF which is why I 'forgot' to ask. I select RF in...

    C41 and chromecast

    Correct it's HDMI - but requires a power source. Which can be a USB port on your TV, which mine doesn't have. Since I would mount the mini genie behind my TV I'd jack into the USB port on the genie. But wasn't sure if it's active. Now if the genies were as high tech as my TiVo Roamio I...

    I'd say picture quality is great (not as good as D* but good). Note I use a roamio TiVo and mini. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

    IR remote extender for mini genie?

    That's my old post on this. I can cover all IR sensors on the remote and it works. But again has to be near or and level. Very strange. I know. I'm getting a newer mini genie I hope Monday (long story short, left DirecTV and coming back) Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

    IR remote extender for mini genie?

    I want the mini placed behind my TV. And with RF for some reason it only works if the remote is aimed or close to the TV. And I'm about maybe 10 feet away if that. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
