I have a new Samsung TV in living room connected to Directv via HR54/200. My Wireless Internet allows me to connect to such as Netflix/Prime etc.. In a bedroom I have another new Samsung TV, this is connected to a Mini-Genie (C41-500?) If I try to connect to such as Netflix/Prime etc., on this...

During a very recent 'NEW' upgrade from SD Dish & Receiver to HD Dish & Receiver, even though we said we had a 4K (RVU) TV, they installed an HR44 directly to the TV Currently we only have that one TV I am a Sports NUT and see that there are a lot of upcoming 4K Sports broadcasts on 4K channel...

I came back from vacation to the same problems of not being able to use ON DEMAND I could also see from another TOPIC on this forum that I did not have the latest update - My Menu and Guide still had the old look and feel. Called DirecTV directly and GOT LUCKY. She 'remotely' did the Double...

Like most people, you will just KNOW when its time to retire! I too worried about finances UNTIL I decided that my kids were doing well and therefore I didn't need to leave them anything - hahahaha With your expertise I'm sure you could find a 'part-time' job if needed ! THANKS AGAIN Dave

Thanks Chip - not sure which is worse - figuring this all out or trying to do my taxes !! So again do I need this splitter & coax with my current one and only TV? Could this be the reason that my TV cannot connect to the internet even though it connects to my network? ALSO - I think I read...

OK you have me a little confused (actually a lot) - sorry but I'm in my 70s, not too technically smart and been using Xfinity all along until now.. Are you saying that I need to run 'another' cable from this 'splitter' to my current one and only TV? If so is that why my TV cannot see the...

CHIP !!!! Not sure what you mean by a 'splitter'? Sorry to sound dumb but :- What is it splitting (TV Service, Internet or what)? Where would it go when I currently just have the main TV And where would it go when I get the 2nd TV ?? The way I read the directv docs abot RVU, it sounded simple...

I am creating a new installation - HR44/500 genie matched to a Samsung HD Series 9 (9000). The TV has RVU (Directv ready). I will use a wireless Internet connection 1)Apart from plugging it in and connecting it to the Genie, as the main/only TV, do I need any extra equipment or configuration...

Thanks Jimbo, Do they charge a monthly 'service' charge for MiFi? Do you run out of data very often? We do not do gaming or download movies, but we are interested in a few Netfix shows. Read somewhere Netflix HD = 3GB/Hour ! Also not sure if it works with 4K but thats OK right now with very...

Chip, TexasBrit and TechieFan - THANKS for your comments - I had originally posted the questions on the DirecTV forum itself and got zero replies - SO SORRY about my stupid mistake over which remote to use. I have another problem with my new Samsung Smart TV and my mind just got confused. - I...

Raoul, Thanks for your reply, The series 9 TV remote is a VERY simple 'SMART' Remote with only about 5 buttons on it (there are not any individual buttons for each number). One of the buttons has 4 numbers on it something like 0123. I used it once when it asked me for a PIN and showed all 10...

Several days ago I switched from an old SD system to a Genie HR44/500 matched to a Samsung HD Series 9 (9000) We live deep in country with high trees where cable company cannot provide Internet, But we use DirecTV satellite. For Internet Access, AT&T recommended we try "Iphone Personal...
