    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?

    AT&T U-Verse is Soon to be No More!

    I was cleaning out my files from way back when I was an AT&T U-Verse customer, and as I was seeing which links were still valid, I came across this article on a related site. It seems that AT&T is getting rid of U-Verse and that eventually even the name "DirecTV" is going to be replaced with...

    It was Good then Not so Good to know ya!

    I have been fighting to just keep the system up and running for the last 2 and a half months with my Charter Television channels. I was missing 29 Channels for the most of that time. It got so bad that I phoned Directv and they will be here Thursday to do the install. I'm really disappointed...

    Directv Sports Field - Green Green Grass of Home?

    I am scheduled for a Directv install for this coming Thursday. I had Directv about 4 or 5 years ago. I don't want to mislead anyone. I have a neurological brain disease and can't remember what year it was to be precise, but it must have been in that 4-5 year range, or close. Now back then...

    Directv and Number of Tuners for Recoding

    Sigh! I'm with Charter for my television service. I'm having problems receiving over 30 Channels and I fight every single day just to keep my signal coming in (including just prior to my posting here). And, I'm at the end. I have a major disability and I'm standing on one foot, in pain, as I try...

    Nearing the Point of Ordering Dish! Hopper 3 Issues?

    I am close to ordering the Hopper 3. And with the Hopper 3 being relatively new, are there still any major bugs that Dish still needs to work out with it? Also, I will need two Joey's in addition to the Hopper 3. I know that I need at least one of those to be a wireless Joey. But what about...

    Sorting Out My Service Options Dish Or Directv... Please help!

    Hello to each of you, I would really appreciate some assistance here. But before I begin, please; I'm not posting this to start a war of which of the two satellite services is better. I'm starting this thread, because I have a neurological disease. Due to this, I have problems remembering...

    Why I need a Hobby!

    I truly appreciate being able to come into Satellite Guys and learning and sharing what is going on in this great industry. It helps me to keep my mind off of my devastating disease, CRPS, which is nicknamed "The Suicide Disease." CRPS is a Neurological disease affecting the brain, spinal cord...

    Charter, Cisco Unveil New Cloud-Based Cable-TV Service

    Just a short time ago, while looking around on the internet, I found this article from Jan. 2015: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-06/charter-cisco-said-to-unveil-cloud-cable-tv-service It looks like Charter is getting serious about competing with the big boys! Here is a quote...

    The Times Are A Changing!

    Slowly but surely the times are changing. IMO People are turning more and more to devices like Roku rather than depending on Cable or Satellite subscriptions to view programming. I just wonder how long it is going to take before people realize that companies like Netflix don't need Cable TV...

    Two Year Contract Buyouts- Consumer Beware

    I opted out of my dish network Contract sometime around two months ago. If you do the same, do so with your eyes wide open. In my experience, up to this point, it has been impossible for me to get Dish to send me an itemized bill stating the buy out amount. On numerous occasions I have asked...

    Decision Made: Charter Fiber Optics or Dish Network?

    I don't know if this will help anyone in here or not. But with Charter really going at it hard at my location, they stopped by and gave me a very handsome deal, which included buying out my 2 yr. contract with Dish Network to go with their Fiber Optic HD Television service. It took me a couple...

    What Screen Resolutions Are Being Offered for TV Viewing?

    Hello, Charter is offering Fiber Optics television in my area. Is their Fiber Optic service like AT&T U Verse's where the resolution is not true to what the movie or show was filmed in, rather it is a one resolution offering that is underwhelming to say the least IMO? Or is Charter's Fiber...

    FTA Interest - Dish Network along the Arc!

    I used to own a C-Band Dish a long time ago. To be honest, I loved messing around with it. And recently I've been thinking about doing some sort of Free To Air surfing along the arc again. At this point, I'm just gathering information to see if this is something that I might want to get into...

    Purchasing Wireless Joey

    If a person purchases a Wireless Joey and it's access point and owns the equipment rather than leases it, does the person still have a 24 month commitment agreement tacked on when activating the equipment?

    Q: Are you enjoying the Super Joey over 2 Hoppers?

    I currently have 2 Hoppers with Slings. We do a lot of sharing of recordings in our house. And I'm considering switching over to a Hopper with Sling and a Super Joey system for the sake of smooth integration. So, I'm wondering. How are those of you that made the switch already enjoying the...

    Recording Priority List

    Is there any possibility that quick access to the Recording priority list could be provided as an icon option in the Main menu? Getting to it now is a real pain. It really would makes sense to be there.

    Random Auto On

    My Hopper with Sling just randomly (probably with Reason, but) switches my T.V's inputs while I'm doing other things. How do I turn this feature off. Very Annoying!

    Hopper with Sling- Bluetooth Headsets

    Is there a list some place for which Bluetooth Headsets the Hopper with Sing is capable of pairing with, or does it pair with "most any of them?"

    DIRT: Please Help! FSN Wisconsin

    I searched all over the guide. Where in the world is FSN Wisconsin. I'm not a big fan of the channel, but unfortunately for me, I'm a baseball fan living in the Milwaukee area. So, I'm stuck with FSN Wis. as my local station for baseball games, yet, I can't find the channel anywhere. Could you...

    Super Joey and 2 Hopper With Sling Question

    Is it possible to keep both of my Hoppers with Sling and add Super Joey. I do realize that if this is possible my second Hopper probably wouldn't be able to share content with the main Hopper and the Super Joey attached to it. Am I correct? And can this be done? If so, what must I do to make...

    Hopper with Built In Sling and Hopper with External Sling

    Is there a difference in what these two versions of the sling do? I have both and can't get the external sling to put recorded shows on an iPad. The Hopper with Sling built in does this flawlessly. Is each Sling doing as it was made to do? Is there a difference?:confused:
