    How can I rename my DVRs as referenced by DirecTV App?

    Under "My Equipment" to the right there is a "Change" next to the location. Click that and you get several defaults to pick from. Pick "Other" from the list and you can enter a custom label. I have my kids listed for each bedroom via their names. Maybe because you are redirected to the ATT...

    DirecTV app for Android Tablet?

    Tried to use it on my Galaxy S5 and keep getting a "invalid signature" error and then dumped back to login screen. Uninstall/reinstall did no good.

    Can't delete movie from Series manager

    Larry posted on the "other site" the same question. He followed up and said he never noticed the red button delete option. He said all is well now. Just FYI.

    Vacation Suspension leaves DVRs in a mess!

    I understand that Jimbo but the OP complained that it recorded blank shows and rolled off un-watched ones. He thought newer ones would be suspended from recording. (?). I just offered another option but I agree, suspending for just a month is odd.

    Vacation Suspension leaves DVRs in a mess!

    Next time, just unplug the receivers. But 30 days does seem pretty short.

    Comedy Central? Yeah, that's where I go for news. Although, sadly, so many younger people do.

    Error code

    It may not enter diag. mode. Yes, you can use an older drive. Just remember the files on the bad one will be gone and anything on the older one will be unplayable. If you go thos route, either format it in windows and then the D* receiver will reformat it for itself. - or enter diag. mode and...

    Issues with new DVR

    I have 2 R22s. They are, I believe, the last SD DVRs released. They "will" act as HD/DVRs if you have other HD/DVRs on your account as they have the guts of a HR21. If you don't get HD (odd since it's a HD world, now 4K) then go into the menu and hide HD duplicates.

    Error code

    Yep, hard drive issue. If you can get it to boot (may have to try repeatedly) you can do a graceful shutdown and try to clone the data to a new drive depending on what the receiver is. If a genie, it would violate the TOS. If older, DirecTV does not want them back. There are threads about using...

    Cancelled Service ... Want My Satellite Dish (Free)

    You don't have to. It's yours. Take it down and trash it if you don't want to keep it. Only some receivers they want bak or the access cards, the rest is yours to do as you wish!

    What do you think ?

    Not for me. I get more HD than cable can offer and 6 HD/DVRs for what it cost me for 2 from cable. Cable is $90 in just HD & DVR fees alone + Multi premium HD feeds plus no dropped channels like my cable providers have done. Happy D* sub since 2007.
