Direct tv Error code ?

[sportman13]

Rey where do you see the updates in your receiver could you tell me steps ?

Several things:
#1: FS South is NOT channel 377. There should be no error codes on channel 377.
ch 377: TCT (national feed)
ch 644 - 648: FS South (and all alternates)
ch 646: FS South (main feed)

#2: What are you trying to watch? If you are trying to watch a game that is out of your market, you will not be able to. You will get the Error 721 because you are not subscribed to the package you need (MLB Extra Innings and MLS Direct Kick are the ones on now, but I suspect that you were trying to watch Braves-Phillies because there is no MLS on FS South).

#3: Downloading software will not change anything about blackouts.

#4: What city do you live in?

Hold the Info button down for about 3-5 seconds, it will bring you to the System Info screen.
Software version and date applied will be 4th one down.

Menu.. settings & Help....Settings ....first choice which should be already displayed is "info & test" gives you your receiver model, receiver ID number, access card number and current software version and date it was last updated.

No. you said to hold the info button down for 3-5 seconds, I gave the steps to go through the menu.

Both go to the same location ...

 

[Rey]

Both go to the same location ...

and what you posted is quicker but yes you're both right

Ironically, normally I would give the longer Menu / / // excreta answer like RLDreams did, but figured this was quicker ... But I do like to give the more detailed directions, this way people tend to learn where things are when going thru the Menus.

 

[sportman13]

Jimbo what is the longer Menu ?

Jimbo what is the longer Menu ?

Menu/Settings/Info and Test

Then more info under System Info.

This will tell you what software is currently running on your recvr.

You can't force the update you want.

IF you turn your recvr off over night and wake up and find that it is on, theres a good chance you got an update.

and we've only told you 28 times how to get rid of that...set 6 series timers

The version of the software doesn't matter. I think Sportman is trying to watch sports that are blacked out for him...

AGAIN, sportman, where do you live? City, State.

There's nothing you need to do or can do to get the latest software. You will get it when Directv pushes it to your receiver.

You press Menu >> Settings >> Info and Test and you will see what software version you have. That's only to display information.

 

[sportman13]

I know You press Menu >> Settings >> Info and Test and you will see what software version you have. That's only to display information what am saying is on the display my zip code it has 00000 should it ?
