As far as I know there is only one tier available to me, up to 30Mbps, over the internet ESPN3 the video is very "choppy" and the audio is not in sync. I get very good picture quality when watching Netlix.

I have Charter and can access ESPN 3 on my computer, the video is not very good at all. I loaded the app on my Ipad hoping it would be better quality but could not use my Charter account to view the programing on my Ipad app, I needed to have Charter TV to log in with the app. Question, is...

Sounds like you were given the premium channels free for 3 months (HBO, Max, Show etc) and your free period is up and you didn't cancel them

I try to keep up with 2 or 3 games on the NFL ticket and will switch channels during commercials and other game stoppage. After switching channels quickly and frequently the navigation commands stop and I can't switch channels without doing a RBR. I've also noticed that when I first turn to...

OP here with follow up, I had an "in house" tech show up yesterday, I showed him the signal strenght with and without the splitter in place, he tried different splitters, changing the PI, plugging to PI to a different outlet, etc. everything he did left us scratching our heads. We finally ran...

HIFI, thanks for the tip, I tried it and no success. Bottom line if I take the splitter out of the system the 5 tuners in the Genie show a good strong signal on all sats and transponders, as soon as I put a splitter in any configuration into the system the signal goes haywire on 2 of the 5...

Chip, the tech swapped out the lnb and I've checked the cables and connections. Do you think the "splitter" needs some kind of ground?

Chip, I've had experience with Directtv in the past but it's come a long way since I had their service. Yes it is a SWM green lable splitter. The tech set up it up as rg6 from dish to splitter, from splitter one line went to the power inserter and from the power inserter it went to the Genie...

New Directtv install two weeks ago with a Genie and 3 clients. I can get a decent picture on the 4 tv's watching 4 different stations at the same time, the problem comes when I try to show 4 different channels at the same time and record a 5th channel, one of the signals will go haywire and...

As far as the tech is concerned I haven't given him any indication I was saying "no" to putting a new line in so I haven't thrown any road blocks up yet, he told me if the new lnb's didn't solve the problem he would come on his "day off" to run a new cable, I'm going to make 100% sure that it's...

Ok guys I need your feed back on this test I did. I took the splitter out of the system by running the home wire from the sat to the power inserter and checked the signal strenght on the genie, on all sats, transponders and tuners I am getting good signal strenght across the board, I put the...

Lanarian, thanks for the feedback, I don't think I stand much of a chance on showing him much of anything, when he came out this morning I tired to get him to look at the signal strenght on the other tuners, he pretty much ignored me on this one, of course he might have had a good reason for not...

Directv tech came out today and replaced the LNB, the reception on 3 of my tv's is pretty good, the fourth not so good. He's talking about replacing the home cable, I don't want to do this, I had this house built and tried to run all the cables in the walls before they were sheetrocked, if he...

Thanks Chip. With the inablility to connect to the Ipad I'm almost hoping it's the "genie", heck I even "reset" my router to factory defaults and redo my network name and password, I can get "on demand" but just can't get my ipad to control the genie, I even made sure the genie was set to allow...
