Unless of course the HS 17 goes down and then all of your TV's are down. I know the chances are slim, but i would not be a happy camper....I'll stick with my hr 44 and the two hr 24's that i currently have.

and in that case the result would be the same. I have no cable, cannot get it, and no cell reception. I suspect, without being able to prove it, that I am not alone. Back in the day when i first got DTV, I probably would have gone for cable, just because i did not know better, so with out...

Are you folks telling me that my 7 meg download speed from Hawaiiantel is not going to be adequate to watch HD TV or yet 4K TV? The idea of streaming is absurd and will certainly cost ATT many customers. In fact, without Directv I would need to invest over ten thousand dollars to install...

Don't forget. IF you are absolutely dying to have the one channel and Pay per View channels of 4K, you must also have a qualifying programming package.

Thank you. Not many people think of the rural or remote areas of America. They all think like they live in Philadelphia, have blazing internet speeds, and IP would be good for everybody. Not true by a long shot. The only other area is those who want everything from a TV box. It must tell...

lol sure....Oh would you like to purchase some land that I own in Florida???

Doing your own trouble shooting is a wonderful idea if you have had the equipment installed for a lengthy time, However, you just had this installed and clearly something is wrong. Do not let them get away free on this. Call DIRECTV and have them get it correct. It should not be incumbent on...

Now if they could only make a receiver capable of playing a linear 4K channel it would be a good thing, but to have to pay for two receivers in order to get one TV to view one channel, probably only appeals to the early adopter.

Oh I would have thought post number 280 was a better response.

Is this a thread about DirecTV or Dishnetwork? I am so lost now, thought the title of the thread read Directv rumors or something like that....

Careful i bought a couple of those and they are refurbished i think. They were both DOA. So i went to solid signal and purchased at a higher price and got a functioning remote.

Keep in mind Bowl season is a time "when minutes count". If one is not armed appropriately then he might have to wait until the thaw. Out here in Hawaii, it can be Kona Storms knocking out the power. Usually it is not the rain that accompanies the storm but the loss of power, So I am armed...

My nephew called me yesterday and mentioned the problem while watching the Notre Dame game on Directv. So I checked on my Directv and saw the problems that were described.

In that the channel is now available, I would have thought this thread would have died....Have been reading about it for years and now it is on, and still the thread lingers....

Directv seems to do this with some regularity. Back when my HR34 was new, it performed pretty well. After multiple iterations of firmware "updates' they managed to turn it into a piece of garbage. Now they are messing with the HR44 and making it less than it was "out of the box". I love my...
