SignalSaver is a Genie feature, not a Gemini feature. If your weather wasn't terrible, you should probably let DIRECTV know you're having trouble.

That depends on when you signed up. Some pricing structures didn't include the first TV in the package price. That depends on the cable company. A lot of that changed when houses started being pre-wired 40 years ago.

That's all a matter of how they manipulate the structuring of their pricing. DIRECTV satellite does this by adding a rather nebulous "Advanced Receiver Fee". The more dollars you put into non-optional additional fees, the better your package pricing can appear. In Comcast's case, that's how...

Perhaps they include it in their Broadcast TV Surcharge? My local Spectrum carries Pac-12 and ROOT and their Broadcast TV surcharge is the apparently maximum of $23.20.

The cable providers are hiding behind these non-optional charges in an effort to convince subscribers that those charges are out of their control and that it costs up to $42/month in some areas to provide local channels as the price suggests. It is smoke and mirrors to subsidize the lower...

What do you consider the Advanced Receiver and TV fees?

All OTA is compressed as part of the multiplexing process to put multiple streams on a single RF TV channel. It comes down to how much. With many DTV stations carrying two HD feeds plus whatever SD feeds they have, this can be very damaging to picture quality. The only bonus that broadcasters...

DIRECTV 9S is 17 years old and Lyngsat reports that its orbit is inclined (0.3 degrees on either side of the Clarke Belt). DIRECTV 10 is 16 years old. DIRECTV 11 is 15-1/2 years old. None of these is likely to last another six years though it could happen. DIRECTV 9S may not be needed...

This is a question best asked in the DIRECTV forums but the short answer is that unless you're talking about Northern Mexico, DIRECTV typically won't work down there with conventional DIRECTV US dishes. The signals from the satellites don't reach that far south so for a more precise answer, a...

Wanna bet?

DIRECTV specific messages should be posted in the DIRECTV forum. This forum is for Satellite Guys forum support. DIRECTV hasn't been using 110W for the continental US (CONUS) a while now and 119W is limited to SD, perhaps some SD locals and some audio channels (there may also be some Spanish...

You should post DIRECTV related questions in the DIRECTV forums. This forum is for SatelliteGuys forum support. Anyway, the answer to your question is that your home address HD local channels are on a focused beam that doesn't reach your current location. When you move outside your beam...

You need to share what the DIRECTV "boxes" are. My guess is that you need to make certain that the SWM adapter has been removed from the first box and that you've re-run the initial setup procedure to allow the receiver to get its new bearings.

What does it matter?

On paper, AT&T rakes in about five times what DIRECTV does and their outstanding shares suggest a similar size relationship. The smaller company rarely comes out on top in a buy-out, much less a merger.

What is good for DIRECTV has little to do with it. I'm concerned about what is important to know for end users who might otherwise be taken in by the marketing suggestions that something is going to happen when the evidence suggests otherwise.

At under $700, is this a 2014 model or an earlier model?

You can certainly use the RC6x series in IR mode absent a code for the RC7x.

Once acquired, DIRECTV, its Board of Directors, former shareholders and current customers will have very little to say about what AT&T does with it. At consummation, DIRECTV shareholders will hold less than 20% of the outstanding AT&T shares; maybe enough to get three people installed on the 15...

As carriers lose interest, will manufacturers lose interest as well? Few standards that are exercised by only one or two companies (other than Apple) last particularly long. I'm also concerned about what "future proofing" means to companies like Samsung and whether or not they are committed to...

I believe that the intention is to substantially replace the satellite service with terrestrial service in the long term. They'll wring what they can out of the satellites (through DIRECTV 15) and launch replacements as necessary.

More importantly, the MVPDs other than DIRECTV and its Latin American holdings have apparently walked away from the Alliance.

I thought it was obvious that I was comparing the cost of the NFL ST package to DIRECTV ($1.5 billion) versus the cost of a new satellite. mike123abc's assertion seemed to be that DIRECTV is done "spending" for a while and that's simply not the case.

A satellite doesn't cost as much as one year of NFLST. DIRECTV has many recurring costs as well as the $18.6 billion in paper debt that AT&T has offered to assume.

The merger isn't a straight cash deal. For DIRECTV stockholders it is $28.50 cash and 66.50 worth of AT&T stock (slipping closer to two shares). Given the proposed three year migration on DIRECTV operations, it could take some time for the merger's long-term effects to be realized.
