    HR-54 Keeps Repeating Purple Screen Reboot Sequence

    I have had my HR-54 for a few years now, nary a problem with it. Just yesterday, I pressed the red button on the side to reboot. It shows me three purple screens: First it says, “Hello Your DirecTV receiver is starting up”; then “Almost there, a few more seconds please” while showing a progress...

    Yes, DirecTV subscribers can get local digital subchannels. Here’s how.

    Get yourself a late model Genie. I just got an HR54-500 to replace my failing HR44-200. Get yourself an AM21 ota tuner. I got one on Amazon a few years ago. They might be a little harder to find now. Once you get one, hook it up to your Genie and hook up an antenna to the tuner. Go to Settings...

    AT&T GigaPower and "Snoopvertising": Is VPN a Good Solution?

    After years of paying $67/month for 25 down/1 up, I finally got off my butt and called in for better service. the deal I am getting is AT&T GigaPower, 1,000 up and down, for $70 a month. However, it is also pretty well known that they build "snoopvertising" surveillance into the service, and...

    Occasional Pixelation

    Over the course of the last month or so, I have been noticing occasional pixelation when I watch D*TV. It will last anywhere from a split second to maybe a full second, and pop up, I don't know, maybe once or twice an hour. I haven't really audited my shows for pixelation but I do notice when it...

    GENIE: Continuity Question

    I just traded in an early model DTV DVR for a Genie, and I like it pretty well. There is a question I have about, for lack of a better term, continuity. On the old model, when I woke up in the morning and flipped on the TV and DTV box, it would allow me to rewind and watch up to the prior 90...

    DTV Receivers Stuttering: Is The Dish Out Of Alignment?

    This started happening a couple months ago, right around the time I signed up for the Whole Home service. I find this occurring on both receivers, and especially on certain channels like Comedy Central and GolTV. Those are the two I've noticed most. i don't see it on local channels or HBO...

    HD Boxes: 0 For 3!

    I first got HD from D*TV in early 2004. I got the Samsung box. Before long, it got buggy -- it would freeze on channels, especially when I surfed empty channels such as those within the MLB EI ghetto, or it would fail to load info headers, and I would have to reboot the thing. I went through...

    D*TV HD DVR Receiver: 3 Simple Questions

    I am thinking of buying one from BB to replace the old Samsung HD receiver I have. My three questions are: 1. Besides what I would have to pay for the equipment at BB, does anyone know whether I will have to pay any fees to D*TV in order to activate the new box? 2. Will it be possible...
