    Putting up a dish at a second home

    So I used to use this forum a bunch about 12-13 years ago but as my career moved along and my family grew I kinda let the Dish Network and later on Directv techs take over my TV viewing. However, I have returned hoping for some information. I currently have DirecTV and would like to install a...

    AT&T wifi calling not working at home

    Is anyone else having a problem with AT&T wifi calling working on their home wifi network? I have TWC internet and a Apple Airport extreme 5th generation. AT&T wifi does not want to enable when on my home network. I have great service at my home, so It won't enable automatically anyway, but...

    Negotiating power?

    Well thats rediculous. I might call and just tell them to forget it. That irritates me. Planning on moving across country in a few months anyway. Wonder if its better just to cancel satellite all together, pick up TWC down here, as much as they suck, with no contract until I move, and get a...

    Negotiating power?

    I chatted online with them last night. Told them point blank I was going to cancel unless I could get the new customer offer. They told me to use my wife's info to sign up and I did. Scheduled an install on the same day as my cancelation was to take effect. Installer is going to have an easy...

    Muffled Sound on Certain Channels

    Is anyone else having an issue with their sound sounding muffled on TBS (MLB playoff games) and FX this evening? Every other commercial has terrible sound and seems to be going in and out during the broadcast as well. Trying to determine if my surround system is finally going out or if its the...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    I have to be honest, with all the crap shows I see people complain about losing on this forum every time a channel is dropped, I am surprised that there is a general agreement that the Weather Channel needs to go. It's worthless as a station now. Like about 100 other stations we have.

    Using Genie HR-44, Wifi drops out. CSR says to ask ISP why its dropping!

    Well the issue on mine is definitely wifi connectivity. The Internet stuff works, when it has a connection. Thought about ordering some power line adapters today, but didn't know if that would work. Maybe I will try them now. I just couldn't believe how the CSR bluntly told me multiple...

    Using Genie HR-44, Wifi drops out. CSR says to ask ISP why its dropping!

    Ok really quick, just wanted to make sure I am not wrong here. Just contacted DirecTV since my HR-44 box refuses to stay connected to my wifi. I know wifi is not the best way to connect streaming devices, however, in this house at this time. Its the only way possible. I have multiple other...

    New customer given an R16?

    Is there any reason a new customer would be given an R16 STB? I had friends that signed up yesterday, and that's what they were given. I noticed almost immediately when I went to their house that they didn't have HD so I had to check it out. They only have one TV hooked up, so they would have...

    Every MLB Game Now Available on Sirius and XM Satellite Radios

    Did the games disappear from Sirius? Couldn't find any tonight. At least, they didn't show up in the game zone section on my Chrysler radio like they had all weekend.

    FX On Demand unavailable?

    Of course. I have the "Extra" package. I tried other "on demand" channels with mixed results. Others that should work but don't are TBS On demand, USA ON demand, etc. Other on demand channels work just fine, Comedy Central On demand works. Guess I am going to have to call them. ?

    FX On Demand unavailable?

    FX On Demand unavailable?

    Hey gents, I am still new to DirecTV (for a second time). I tried to watch some programming on FX On demand today and a dialog box came up asking me to go to www.directv.com or call a number if I want to subscribe to that channel. I have the extra package and FX is included. Is there some...

    Well, I'm Back!

    Life happened man. Since 2008, I have moved cross country and had two kids. Still very interested in the Tech, unfortunately my attention gets spread out more than I would like. I will say do check out the page often, as Satelliteguys is still on my bookmarks bar. Its always been one of the...

    Well, I'm Back!

    After a year away at TWC, I have come back to DirecTV. I feel like I just rode a time machine from 2001 to 2013. Can someone explain to me why cable companies don't upgrade their tech like the Satellite companies have done? I mean hell, they are HARDWIRED to each and every home. If they...

    Transfer HD Content to Computer?

    Is there anyway to transfer HD content off a Time Warner DVR Box to a computer? I work in a Public Relations office and we are always recording news clips that correspond with my business (we are in the news a lot down here). I would like to archive these clips in HD. Currently, I have to use a...

    OTA Channel blocking

    I forgot to mention this happens on both of the TV's in my house that I use for OTA, but admittedly, both are Sony and the newest one was built in 2007, still considered infancy for digital OTA broadcasts. Since they similcast the channel, also in HD, on another frequency that I can recieve and...

    OTA Channel blocking

    OK, I am convinced now that the blocking ONLY happens when the channel is broadcasting an HD feed. During the Football game tonight, the channel 39.1, their main channel, was unwatchable. However, I have learned that they also broadcast their HD feed on 31.2, which looks great (and comes in at...

    OTA Channel blocking

    I am aiming south-Southeast. the zip code "78045" is too general and actually pinpoints an area well north of my house. There are two stations to my northwest. 8-KGNS and 19 KLDO. 8-KGNS comes in just fine. After all of this, I am not sure I even have a problem, however, Its been coming in...

    OTA Channel blocking

    I am using an RCA antenna from lowes. Not sure of the model number but it was about 70 bucks. Its mounted outside, on the roof, where the dish network pole mount. Its a directional antenna facing toward the city, where most of the stations are broadcast from. tVfool does show that this...
