I'm still not happy with Weigel's choice to do away with the Decades channel. I enjoyed watching a pretty good bit of the programming that was on that channel. When they flipped the switch to the comedy stuff on that channel, I never tuned in to it again.

On another Weigel Broadcasting Company note. This forthcoming new channel is rumored to start broadcasting later this year. No idea as to what kind of time frame is involved for it. It is supposed to broadcast classic western TV series 24/7, once it is uplinked and available to the public.

This offer is via their satellite service.

For a limited time, you can possibly order a free PPV event for a value of up to $5.99. I discovered this offer via a line item that recently appeared in the program guide. I selected the title, A Working Man, starring Jason Statham. The PPV price for it recently went from $9.99 to $5.99. This...

Thanks for the replies and information. As for the Protection Plan, I have had that on my account since day one with DIRECTV. It has come in handy over the years, that is certain. Approximately a month or so ago, I made the decision to replace a couple of C61K clients on my account. During my...

Thanks for the replies and information. Do you have any suggestions for any external "plug and play" hard drives? I have had and used the HR54-700 in my setup for a few years. The thoughts of possible hard drive failure definitely makes sense. But, with the HR54-700 just being leased on my end...

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. No worries, as that is what I am doing, and will do if need be. I have a folder specifically labeled for email communications from and with DIRECTV, for a long time now.

Interesting and thanks for the reply. Here's a sample of what's showing on my end.

This issue began / originated on April 4, 2025. I received an email offer for the 2025 MLB EI package as a loyalty gift on that date. I had to click on a link in that email to accept and redeem that offer. Once I clicked that link and confirmed the loyalty gift offer, I received two more emails...

After receiving a couple of PMs on here a few days ago, I checked the Google TV settings via the Gemini menu options. The software version is displayed via that option. Thanks kindly for the messages and suggestions. 👍👍

That is how I have been doing the reboots. Only one at a time.

Thanks for the reply and your thoughts. I have an HR54-700 in my setup. I have went the way of RBR with both the Gemini and HR54-700. I have also pulled the power supply from each of them for a few minutes, plugged them back up and rebooted them. I have even rebooted both of them via menu...

In all of my 20+ years with DIRECTV, I have never used a piece of their equipment that does not display the software information, until now. This Gemini was drop shipped via FedEx, 2-3 weeks ago. I done a self install with this particular box. It works just fine, as far as everyday use of it...

I have been having similar experiences over the course of the last 2-3 weeks. I am having to verify my account / ID every time, by way of one of three options on my end. Those options include two different phone numbers, and an email address. I figure that it is some sort of new enhanced...

This is not good, at all. I enjoyed viewing several of the programs on channel 104 in the past. I would hope that there are plans to update the channel with more 4K programming in the future.
