Have they changed the status of CHSN of out-of-market Sports Pack subscribers? I used to enjoy the non-game content like the panel shows and video podcasts but now the channels (665 and 665-1) are greyed out and not viewable. Strangely enough the channels are still viewable in the DirecTV app.

I'm getting that screen here in Houston.

That's not what I was saying. When you set a recording on your Genie or on the app it records BOTH to your DVR (where it stays) and cloud DVR where it's available for playback in the app for 90 days. That explains why when the feature was first rolled out only new recordings set after the...

There's a line in the following DirecTV help page that says: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000084350 That led me to believe that DVR programs aren't actually streamed from the Genies but are mirrored cloud DVR recordings, only satellite customers only get 90 days instead of 9 months...

A malware-infested zombie device sitting on your home network can do a lot of damage above and beyond the Gemini, just like how they say not to use public wifi without a VPN because certain bad actors can do malicious things once you're on the same network.

I don't have a 4K TV so I can't speak to the HDR issue, but Paramount + is unwatchable on a Gemini with constant freezing and skipping. On my Apple TV however, P+ streams smoothly. On Twitter/X there are others complaining about P+ freezing and skipping so the problem might not be confined to...

Well, looks like my AirTV Anywhere is going to get some more use.

I had to refresh my Genie 2 using the DirecTV website to get Willow to show up in my Sports Pack subscription, shame that didn't work for the OP.

You should be able to get a 2 port splitter because that's the kind I have. https://www.solidsignal.com/directv-2-way-wide-band-satellite-splitter-for-swm-systems-split2mrv

Yes, for tuning and viewing satellite channels and viewing DVR, but no internet-based features like voice control. My fiber went out for a little while and I was still able to watch TV.

...and I don't have to care. My local CW39 is blacked out due to the dispute, but thanks to my trusty AirTv Anywhere DVR and Channel Master OTA antenna I'm not missing anything (never watched NewsNation). I'm just glad DirecTV allows you to download the Sling app (since they're a competitor) on...

I just signed up for DIRECTV Satellite in April and I get charged a $15 ARS fee.

I'm in Houston with Sports Pack and I get YES on the website and the app.

See if this helps.

This is just a WAG, probably wrong so I'm not going to argue with anyone about it, but I think it may not be just a coincidence that both Dish (with the Hopper Plus and Joey(s)4) and DirecTV (with the Gemini) are moving toward Android-based streaming boxes that are also add-ons to their last...
