    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    When are they gonna release it? I have a 4K TV now. If they are gonna release it soon I may finally take the plunge to Direct. Have always hate the contract thing.... stupid I know but it bugs me. :) Comcast supposedly has a new X1 4K box coming in the near future, so we'll see wins the race!

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    I havr the X1 satellite box in my bedroom and it allows me to do 1080P at 60hz. Try looking again and see what it gives you. If not, pure speculation on my part, maybe your TV only goes to 1080i or not supported in your area? I'm in Seattle. Hope that helps!

    Just got a 4K TV and.... it's confusing.... :)

    Thank you all for the info. I know it's coming, just a matter of time. The new D14 Sat is suppose to allow them to do 4K broadcast if and when they start from what I've read. Again.... thanks for the info!

    Just got a 4K TV and.... it's confusing.... :)

    I've a question for someone in the know on Direct. My neighbor in my building just got DTV and I asked the installer a question about 4K. I have a 4K TV and was wondering when the new 4K compatible boxes were coming. He said the new Genies are 4K ready for the new D14 sat. Is this true? The new...

    x1 cable box

    I have the X1 and love it! Had it for about 3 month now and had a couple glitches. Called and reported and had a work around for 1, but they seem to be fixed now! My only major complaint is the hard drop is still kinda small. I think they could have gone with a 2 or 3 terabyte HD. I know the X2...

    Tivo Xfinity On Demand

    There are 3 markets that I know for sure that you can access Xfinity on-demand though the Tivo. Those are Seattle, Boston, and San Francisco. More are coming but not sure when. How do they like it? I'm thinking of getting one as the DVR in the Seattle market sucks. Only 2 tuners an half terabyte...

    Former Dish Net / New Customers Read This

    I was wondering... I'm gonna make the switch from Xfinity to D*... Should I use D* to sign up or there's a local guy I'd like to use. Will I still get all the same discounts and rebates? I'm guessing yes but wanna make sure! If yes... when can I apply for them using the outside guy? Thxs in...

    Comcast Seattle Help....

    Morning! I have a couple questions about Comcast here in Seattle. I use to be with them couple years ago then went to Verizon Fios. Now that Frontier has taken over, the service has been stagnant and a huge price hike looming in Feb. I'm looking to make the switch back. My questions are...

    Verizon Sell of Areas to Frontier

    Morning! Was wondering, has anyone heard what's in store for those of us with Fios in the Verizon sell off. I've been told we'll still have TV and internet through Verizon. Nothing is going to change except where we get our bill! Does anyone out there know how true this is? I'm just a couple...

    Sirius Signal Issues

    I'm having signal issues too. The Sat signal bar usually was always at 3 to full strength. Now I'm only getting 0,1 to 2 bars on the Sat. Good thing I'm in a major metro area (Seattle) with the repeaters around. I've noticed this for the last couple weeks. Why it caught my attention was is it...
