    DIRECTV NOW Launching in November!

    DIRECTV NOW Launching in November!

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    My favorite summer-time activity goes back to the late '70s when I was 8 or 9 years old. We lived in Fort Worth, Texas and my mom and dad both worked for Motorola and they always had great things to do. My favorite was going to Eagle Mountain Lake and watching the boat races. One of the boats...

    Whole home DVR

    Just got Whole Home DVR installed yesterday. So far the HR24 and the new H25 are working great! Had an issue with the HR24 losing local channels after software update, but that was fixed by going to Directv website and resending authorization!
