    Ipad/iphone app sign-on issues

    Updated to new app version and can't get past the logo screen. App store comments are awash with others experiencing similar issues. Hope it's fixed soon.

    Ipad/iphone app sign-on issues

    Haven't been able to access either for at least the last 24hrs. Anyone else experiencing problems?

    DIRECTV TO LAUNCH DISNEY JR SATURDAY

    My 5yr old has yet to complain. Adults without kids who are complaining Disney Jr is not in HD should probably consider a little self-reflection.

    directv on demand vs cable

    Without knowing much about the technical aspects, it sure looks like DirecTV cheats on the frame rate of the SD stuff. The viewing experience is noticeably choppier especially during scenes with high activity. The HD selection should not even be considered on demand as it's not available for...

    Charlotte HD's unavailable

    No, they're just temporarily unavailable and have been for at least several hours. First time I recall it happening in 5 or so years. Timing stinks though.

    Charlotte HD's unavailable

    Stanley Cup finals look dreadful in SD. Wish they were still on Versus (NBC Sports) as opposed to the main network.

    HR24 slowness problems

    Anyone (like myself) who uses the iPad app as a remote will tell you that the issue resides in the box interpreting and/or acting upon the commands coming from the DirecTV remote (or other external remotes). Commands coming from the iPad app are executed immediately without lag so it doesn't...

    HR24 slowness problems

    I've 2 HR24's that have also been bogging down of late. My HR21 is better than it used to be but still worse than the HR24's. My H24 is a champ and is always responsive and lightning quick. Wish the same were true for the others.

    DIRECTV's Masters Tournament Coverage A ‘Gimme' For Golf Fans Who Want In-depth Coverage

    Because, quite frankly, there's not much demand for it. I watched a bit of it earlier and thought it detracted from the experience.

    Question Regarding SWM

    What happens if you were to hook 9 tuners up to a swm8? Would it still work unless all were used or powered on concurrently?

    Awesome, PLAY did the trick. Didn't think of trying that...

    Is there any way to...

    1) See the progress bar on a dvr playback without pausing or rewinding. It boggles my mind why it doesn't show up when I hit INFO. 2) Disable the interactive (red button) feature on the channels where it's present? It seems to get in the way when using Pandora since red button also toggles...

    ESPN3 "App"

    Understood. To be clear, I think ESPN is much more at fault on this one than the ISPs.

    ESPN3 "App"

    It is not that an ISP doesn't allow it, it is that they refuse to PAY for it. If net neutrality is the concern you are blaming the wrong party.

    No more loyal service calls

    Speaking as an actuary who has priced warranties and various insurance products, they are generally not a good value to a customer unless the potential loss would create a financial hardship. I find it comical how many people will significantly overpay for protection on a low cost low risk item...

    Sending back HR21 refurb

    I also found it interesting that the first was shipped out of Stockbridge, GA and the second out of Carlisle, PA. Yeah right, you get whatever the equipment folks happen to pull...

    Sending back HR21 refurb

    It happened to work out as I'm looking at a brand new HR-24 that came in the mail today as a replacement. I think DirecTV saying they can't control which equipment you receive is only lip service;)

    Sending back HR21 refurb

    My account was eligible for another free HDDVR so I took advantage of it. To my dismay, I received an HR-21 refurb (and it didn’t even come with the necessary DECA adapter). I decided to send it back and have another one shipped to me in hopes of getting an HR-24 but I am not too...

    When can I "negotiate" a new agreement with DTV, and what can I expect to get?

    No you shouldn't be charged for an MRV install. I've only heard of that for an upgrade to SWM. The hr34 installer will just toss a couple decca's on the pre-24 receivers. Not exactly heavy lifting...

    New HD GUI

    Eventually but only when a new version is pushed out. Has nothing to do with being connected to the net. I would suggest manually forcing an update by pressing 0-2-4-6-8 upon power up after a reset.

    HR34 Existing Customer Discounts

    I got a HR21 refurb delivered earlier this week. Was hoping for an HR24 but no dice. Some other folks have experienced the same recently.

    A few questions

    Funny you say that, I just added another HDDVR today. To my surprise, aside from the $6/mo fee and contract extension it was absolutely free. This comes pretty close after my move in Aug when I got a new HDDVR and MRV included.

    Any German Channels?

    Bummer. Out of scope of this forum: i may need to look into getting a secondary provider any suggestions? ..or is streaming content the best bet?

    Any German Channels?

    I have a German au pair coming to stay for the next year. Does DirecTV offer any German channels?
