    March Madness Sportsmix

    All day Thursday and early Friday DirecTV had a great thing. They changed channel 205 to the 4 March Madness channels (CBS, TBS, TNT, TruTV). Then Friday it changed to 8 channels. 4 channels was watchable but 8 screens wasn't. If DirecTV is lurking here, why did it go away?

    Lost SWiM Connection message

    I keep getting a 'lost SWim connection' message every once in a while. We live in an RV with a Winegard automatic satellite dish on the roof, a HR54 Genie in the living room and a mini-client in the bedroom. I mention RV because we are pretty much on our own for service. I've made sure...

    Can add porn to programming but not Hallmark

    Interesting factoid: AT&T DirecTV does not like mobile RV accounts and prefers porn to Hallmark! Do you realize that if you live in an RV you can add porn to your DirecTV viewing but not Hallmark. You can add Playboy and Penthouse but not the Movies Extra Pack that includes Hallmark Drama and...

    Different local channels & sports channels question

    When you change your service address along with networks you also get some regional sports channels. Is there an easy way to see which channels? Even though I have set the guide to 'Channels I get' the guide lists all the regional sports channels and no they are not gray or in a different...

    Local channels

    Is there a place online that I can check to see if local channels are provided by DirecTV in an area? Sent from my LM-V405 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Universal Remote won't work with Genie mini-client

    Background: I recently switched to Genie HR44-500 and a C31-700 mini-client manufactured by Pace. The Genie came with a RC73 remote so now I had a spare RC66RX remote. This setup worked until last night when I was banished to the bedroom for the NFL draft :-) The RC66 remote that had worked...

    Changing "Service Address" problems

    Note: I searched on 'service address' and did not get any recent threads that matched my particular problem. For background purposes we started living fulltime in our RV in 2009 and traveling the country. We requested a waiver for Distant Network Services (DNS that includes ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC...

    Is my Genie starting to fail?

    A couple of things have started to happen 1-I have an excellent setup with 90s and a few 100s signal strength. With no wind and on more than one occasion I get 'unable to communicate with dish' or a satellite signal lost on tuner a, one time it was tuner 1 and the next was tuner 2. I reset the...

    Newbie questions (please be gentle) on DirecTV 4k

    Apologies in advance for what is sure to be a rambling post, I can just feel it :-) I did a brief search and didn't find anything closely related. We live fulltime in our RV and recently bought a new RV. It came with a Jensen HDTV and we put our Genie HR34/700 in it. Seems like we have much...

    I have a HR34/700 receiver and a RC66 Remote and a Panasonic SA-BTT405 Blu Ray Home Theater System and have exhausted all the remote codes first for audio equipment then DVD then VCR sections. I called DirecTV and they had some extra codes which also did not work. They suggested I call Panasonic...

It found what I expected, House Hunters, House Hunters International, and others...

    Not too happy with DirecTV now

    It was suggested that I post here since there are some DirecTV installers and others knowledgeable about DirecTV. I am having an issue that I spent almost all day troubleshooting on my own. Sorry this is so long but I have a lot of info to share. Background: - we live fulltime in our RV...

    Dish Network in an RV

    I am totally confused so if this does not make sense there is a good reason : ) I am close to ordering an RV and I want to make sure that the satellite prep is done right when I add an antenna on the roof to get all the HD channels from Dish Network. We are TV-aholics, there I said it, so we...

    Full-timing in RV

    My wife and I are a couple of months away from selling our house and full-timing across the country in a fifth wheel. We are TV junkies so want the conveniences of high definition televisions and dvr programming. We plan on a dvr in the living room and a dvr in the bedroom. Since the bedroom is...
