Can you clarify the exact steps? I tried the my setup tab, but the only "premium" tab is "add premium." There is no obvious way to swap sportspak for starz, etc. Thanks for any help.

That is exactly what the CSR told me I could do and there was a thread here that said the same thing (from a few years back). It did sound great. But, it looks like it can't be done anymore if you ever could . . .

A few months ago, I was told by Directv customer service that I could sign up for the sportspak and then freely change during the month between the sportspak and Starz (or any premium channel other than HBO--which has a higher monthly cost) without any fee and without extending the cancellation...

Sorry that I don't know the correct name for the service. But, I'd appreciate this group's opinion on whether it is worth it to pay the monthly fee for having DTV fix any things that break in your system? I have my own Ku satellite and I've worked with cable. So, I'm thinking that now that...

The IP address is within the range of my network. And, I just connected the access point to my slingbox an it is working flawlessly. Is there something I need to configure on the satellite receiver?

Just bought a new Super G access point, configured it, tested it by unplugging my PC from the router and plugging it into the access point. It worked great. I plugged it into the Directv receiver and it won't work. It says it is not connected to the internet, but it does give me the IP...

I figured it out and it worked!!! I changed it back to IR using the RF remote and then pushed the red button on the receiver and voila both remotes are now working!!! Thank you so much! This forum has got to be the best in the internet.

Will do! I assume you mean to resetup the IR remote. I can do that. But, what is a "red button reset?" Thanks.

Ugh! Any solutions . . . For example, do I have a prayer of swapping my IR remote for an RF because of her error?

New Problem My new RF remote arrived yesterday (1 day!). I set it up and it works great. I can control my system while watching it on my 2nd TV in the other room. The one problem is that my original IR remote doesn't seem to work completely any more. I was very clear with the nice lady at...

I just spoke with DTV tech support and learned that the remote that came with my new box does not support RF. I ordered an RF remote from DTV for $25 which should arrive in 3 days and I should be in business. I wanted another remote anyway so this is fine.

I'm not yet totally familiar with the model numbers. Do these make any sense: SD/DVR: R16NC-300 Remote: White--r16man080110. Now found another number for remote RC64

I tried to swap my SD/DVR box (newly installed yesterday) to RF remote. After 3 tries, it would not work. However, I easily changed my HD/DVR box (also newly installed yesterday) to RF remote using the same steps. This makes me wonder whether the SD/DVR box supports RF? Does anyone know...

You understood correctly. I've recorded my Ku receiver on TIVO for a few years. Any way to record it on the Directv HD/DVR?

I purchased an rf modulator just in case the standard definition DVR does not have coax output. Either way I should have a cable signal. My question is really whether the signal will move throughout the house on regular coax. I actually have an amplfier in the line that the cable company put...
