    YouTube on Directv

    Problem resolved. I found (and followed) dcd's instructions for a thorough reset. I had done everything listed, but had not previously known the proper order to perform the steps. No Youtube HR23-700 | DIRECTV Receiver Technical Sup | DIRECTV Technical Help Forums "Do a red...

    YouTube on Directv

    Could you provide a search example that works for you. Although I have checked on YouTube to see if my searches are valid, my choices don't seem to be acceptable.

    YouTube on Directv

    My software was updated to 4A7 this morning and there was an announcement that I should be able to access YouTube listings through SmartSearch. However, I have not yet been able to do so, even after calling Directv Support. The CSR was also not able to access YouTube content on the system she...

    HR20 thru HR24 Software Release ver. 4A9/4A7/4A6 5/11/11

    Thanks for the screenshots. When I got up at 3am this morning, I couldn't get the yellow button on my remote to access the Directv Subtitle menu (and I use it 90% of the time.) Now, I know where the option has been moved. Unfortunately, I much prefer using the Yellow button. I had noticed...

    DirecTV Total Choice+ vs Choice Extra

    Glad to have stumbled on this, as I was trying to figure out what Choice Extra offered over Total Choice Plus. According to the Programming lists on the Directv web-site, there are a number of HD channels on Choice Extra that I thought I was going to have to upgrade for. But, I discovered...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    Well ... I was about ready to switch providers and called one more time and went through the retention line. I'm now set up for Whole Home DVR free SWM install with free upgrades to an HD DVR and an HD Receiver. I just wish cancelling the first order and re-writing a new one had not caused my...

    Non-install today

    I don't know how long ago that they gave you that information, but when I tried to get them to give me access to the company scheduled for my Saturday upgrade, they said that they used to have access to the information, but they no longer do. They actually did give me access several years...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    I used to run a Hughes HTL-HD and three RCA standard DRD435RH. Now, after the kids moved out, I only use the HTL-HD and one DRD435RH. I deactivated the other (owned) standard receivers. The two I use now are to be replaced with an HD-DVR and an HD Receiver for the new HD TV in the bedroom.

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    FWIW ... we didn't have the home built. It was a spec home that had been sitting vacant for a year before we bought it. The electricians didn't run the coax. The builder used a company that does their pre-wiring for the telephone lines, network cable, security systems, audio and video stuff...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    Well ... that's two people I talked to today who have no clue. They both insisted that I had to have two cables. I'm getting totally stressed out. I don't want this guy to get out here and not have what is necessary to do the job and have to wait for him to come back once he finds out what...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    I don't understand SWM I called D* back today to make sure that the installer would know/understand that our main TV (where we want to upgrade from a HD Receiver to an HD DVR) only has one cable coming down the wall. It is not possible to run another cable down that wall. At the present...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    OK ... I get a "free" HD-DVR and HD Receiver and a new dish installed for "free." Once the receivers are activated I can call back in and get 24 months of free HD Access. Now that I have an install scheduled, for the new dish, I am getting nervous about the install. Obviously the original...
