    DirecTV 4K & "This HDMI input isn't compatible message"

    I stand by my remarks. Due to my illness, I have to decide which battles I am willing to take on. This is not one of them. Have a great day.

    DirecTV 4K & "This HDMI input isn't compatible message"

    It is not the new-ness that is the issue I am speaking of. The whole system is antiquated.

    DirecTV 4K & "This HDMI input isn't compatible message"

    I too get that message on my brand new 4K UHDTV. Directv's hardware really needs a refresh in so many ways. This is just one more indication of that.

    Building New House

    If you do this, you may want to consider running 3 sets of piping. One for left speakers, One down the center of the ceiling, and one for right speakers. And don't forget about the back wall. The other thing is... you may want to run PVC piping from the utility room, if that is where Directv...

    Building New House

    Just a side note: Do yourself a favor and run some PVC pipe to your important points, for example in your home theater from your receiver area up to different locations in your room's ceiling. so you can access and run wires quickly. It's relatively cheap to do & allows your system to expand...

    Denon AVR

    It sounds to me like a resolution issue. Are the gaming device, your TV, and your Denon all set to the same resolution? I ask this, because the Denon seems to be trying to sort out what it is receiving and what Resolution it should be kicking out to your tv.

    Receiver question

    I'm sure that you've already thought of this, but, what about getting a guide on your iPad through the Directv App or something similar. In doing so, you could then use a magnifying glass to see what the guide said. It is not a perfect option, but it would at least be one that the visually...

    My Samsung TV provides audio via HDMI cable to the AV receiver. Many do.

    DirecTV/Tivo

    Oh yes, and pride reigned the day until the agreements that they each had with the other were no more. Now, all that Directv has of the Tivo Line is antiquated software that is a mere shell of what it used to be for Directv Tivo subscribers. And a good time was not had by all. It was actually a...

    Had charter installed today

    I was wondering what you had done and was going to do long term, since you no longer use your PC HD DVR. The sling option or even the new soon to be Directv option look very good. In time, I may be heading that direction as well.

    DirecTV/Tivo

    Ah, yes. I remember the Angst of those long gone days, when TiVo and Directv made it clear that they were not going to play well together at all in the Software Arena. Whew

    DirecTV/Tivo

    Do yourself a favor, go with Directv's HD DVR and equipment. The Directv Tivo works, but... my goodness, it short changes and limits the customer in so many ways. IMO it really isn't worth it. The Tivo is ok, yet, if you make the full transition to Directv you will enjoy all of the benefits...

    Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.

    RVU Samsung 4K TV & The HR 54

    I have a quick question. Does a person need the 4K Genie Mini to view Directv's 4K content, if they have a Samsung RVU capable TV and the HR54?

    I'm a little early, but what date does Holidays and Happenings (815) start playing Christmas music?

    Have you looked into something like the free versions Spotify or Deezer? Hey, you probably have already.. I truly hope you enjoy the upcoming season. It should be a great holiday.

    I'm a little early, but what date does Holidays and Happenings (815) start playing Christmas music?

    For Real! Can't stand it. What is hilarious is the way some people make Politics their all and all. Now, that is hilarious. And, I have figured it out. K-Love? LOL You need to change your browser's search engine. Commercial FM Radio? Hahahaha! Where is that ignore button...? I can't stand my...

    I'm a little early, but what date does Holidays and Happenings (815) start playing Christmas music?

    I'm a Christian and proud of it. Bring on the CHRISTmas music and I will gladly pay for it! I thank God for His Son and the music celebrating His coming! And as for politics, can't stand it. FOX, FOX Business, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Now that is over...

    I'm a little early, but what date does Holidays and Happenings (815) start playing Christmas music?

    I recently purchased a Denon Heos. So, I'm really looking forward to using their way of integrating my own Christmas music plus using the paid services of Deezer and the like. This is going to be a lot of fun. And on top of that, I can have the Christmas Music start when ever I want it to, or...

    Charter is not nearly as reliable here as it is with you there.

    NFL Redzone

    Ooma is the only way to go, when considering price and features for a Home Phone Service. It is by far the best option out there. Charter's pricing and features don't stand a chance compared to Ooma. And its not even close! Now, if I were getting something for a business, it would be...

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    If you hunt around here on Satellite Guys a little bit, I know that there has been some discussion about this, which, as I remember (with My Neuro disease using the word remember is dangerous LOL) the increase in future tuners would involve Directv's Current Genie technology. But, as I have...

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    Yes, the HR 24 is a part of the Whole Home set up, and you can access any recording from any set up location in the house, no matter where it was recorded from. When I was contemplating whether I would be going with Directv, I asked how long of a trial period I had, just in case I found out...

    Considering Change From The Other Guys

    Oh, and just one more thing. I encourage you to go to the Directv website and watch all of their videos on the Genie, the Genie Mini, On Demand, and Whole Home viewing. That way, you will know exactly what Directv does to provide you with the content that you seek.
