In a corporate environment, "The Boss" doesn't have to. He has an IT staff to do it for him or her.

Have you tried doing a Menu restart of all devices? (Menu>settings>Help>Reset/Restart>All Devices) That may make the HS17 forget about the C61K. If that doesn't work, the only thing that I can suggest is to do a keyword search for CLEARMYBOX. That will clear a lot of settings, and restart...

If it does not show in the Remove Clients menu, where does it show up?

Having experience with regulating Internet access to and from a corporate network, it is highly probable that you are running into restrictions imposed by your employer. Their corporate network is their property and they have every right to limit it to business use. 35 years ago, when...

"Targetted" means that only selected satellite customers can see them. DTV marketing is trying to reach specific customers, and the customers typically see them as a splash screen when they turn on their receiver or client.

I have 200Mbps up and down fiber here in the lowest population density county from here to Texas. I could have more speed, but that is all I need. I still prefer satellite to streaming. OTA is not an option. Hamilton County, NY has less than 5000 year round residents, less than 3 people per...

I use DIRECTV satellite and streaming. Some of the things I want to watch are only on streaming, but I prefer the satellite experience more.

II have no idea. I doubt it is even possible. Too much of the design of the firmware in the Gemini depends on it being off for updates periodically.

I think I remember you were trying to use an old fashioned DirecTV remote with the Gemini. I have used every kind of DirecTV remote over the years, and I find the Gemini remote to be superior to all of them. I especially like the voice command. When I occasionally need to use the Roku...

I wouldn't switch the CEC off. You want them to go on and off together. You don't want the Gemini to be on all the time. If it never gets put in standby (lights off), it never can receive any software updates.

No, I don't want to keep my Gemini on all the time. I use my Gemini remote to turn on my Gemini, my TV and my AVR receiver with the on button. And I turn them all off with the off button. The Gemini through the HDMI cable should be controlling everything else. But the Gemini remote, if you...

in Menu>Settings>Device Management>Power Savings there are two on screen slide switches for Screen Saver and Power Saving. You can toggle the switches with the Gemini Remote OK button, or "SELECT" on older remotes. If the option is enabled the switch shows a blue dot on the right of the...

DIRECTV is requesting feedback only from DIRECTV Stream/Internet customers about any volume differences: - Between programs and ads (please mention the channel and ad if possible) - Between different channels (please specify which channels) If you've experienced this, they would also like to...

As one of the "team of data collectors", I appreciate those comments. The owner of the site was able to promptly restore it when notified of the outage. All of these collaborative computer systems are running unattended. And we all have other interests in life, (or jobs, for those not in...

It's back up.
