    Why doesn’t a DTV subscription give you access to directv stream?

    Other services like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube TV deal with this issue fine. YouTube TV even gives you a family sharing option.

    Mobile setup: can’t acquire 99 & 103

    I would double check the skew setting (tilt) for your longitude and latitude from another source then go through the entire alignment again. Directv might be using your home zip code for the settings.

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    I am in rural Colorado. If I could get Starlink with unlimited data I would dump DirecTV tomorrow and replace it with YouTube TV. It just will not work over Hughes net.

    Sounds like one or more of your connectors is bad. Disconnect the coax at the dish and the receiver and measure the resistance from the center conductor to shield. It should be infinite. Then short one end with a clip lead or something like that. Check the same reading at the other end. It...

    Audience Network shutting down

    My guide shows Audience Network signing off at midnight PT Friday night. The last show is Black Sabbath "The End". Someone has a sense of humor. :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What's the monthly cost of a Genie wireless mini if you buy your own box?

    I finally got a CSR to tell me I am eligible for an equipment upgrade after 8/31. At least I know when I can do 4K now.

    Audience Network shutting down

    I notice Audience Network is still on DTV running reruns of shows that have been aired hundreds of times. Why the hell do they bother with this channel? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What's the monthly cost of a Genie wireless mini if you buy your own box?

    I called twice with no luck getting them to waive the up front charge. I was able to get an additional discount for 12 months. The experience was terrible. The first CSR was in the Philippines. She couldn’t log into her computer. She was working from home because of the virus. I could barely...

    What's the monthly cost of a Genie wireless mini if you buy your own box?

    OK, I see, there is a $99 equipment charge. I will call them tomorrow and see if I can sweet talk them out of that. What I really want to do is get a C61K 4K mini and move the wireless mini to a third TV. I finally have run a coax to my 4K TV so I can install a 4K mini. I will see if they will...

    So there's no reason at all not to get one from DTV?

    What's the monthly cost of a Genie wireless mini if you buy your own box?

    I have a HR54 Genie with a WVB and one C61W wirelss mini that I pay DirecTV $7.00 per month to rent. I want to add a second client. If I buy my own client is there a monthly cost with DTV? I see you can buy C41w's on eBay for fairly low prices. With they work with the HR54? Thanks for any replies.

    Audience Network shutting down

    Patrick had some medical issues last year too. He said he had bouts with depression while under treatment. That may have played a part in him declining all the extra travel involved in the Olympics that were scheduled for 2020. I agree his show would be a good fit between Florio's Pro Football...
