    Any ETA on 2nd gen Genie Mini?

    I have Uverse as well. Better receivers across the board. Yes, Uverse wireless boxes are much better Than the minis. Much more stable. That said The entire Dvr set top units are better than Direc's. a hybrid unit might not be a bad idea. If I were Direct I would seriously revamp their...

    Any ETA on 2nd gen Genie Mini?

    Icewolf I'm right there with you. The delays in changing channels for me I can't stand. I have a mini 4K unit in my bedroom And I'm constantly thinking about putting the HR54 back in my room. Not sure why we can't Have 4K on their best machine? Direc needs to address this. Sent from my...

    DirecTV interface not as good as Dish

    I have both. As far as unit/systems go. No contest dish is superior. They have been cutting edge over all for years. Dish auto hop. That feature alone is off the charts. My personal favorite is blu tooth so I can watch tv without disturbing my wife. Direct dvrs are getting better but always...

    Parting Gift from Dish

    Because I pay the bill. I've had dish since they started. It's not only dish who gets extra for Technology fee. Its a way for these companies to pull in extra money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Parting Gift from Dish

    I get what he's saying. I think it unreasonable to get the package he wants at that price. They all nickel and dime you. It's silly because folks usually come back. Also, if they upset a departing customer they most likely share their bad experience. So they possibly lost more then one future...

    DISH Network's Charlie Ergen May Be TV's Most Hated Man

    Maybe he's tough and a ruthless Negotiator. But what he did to Voom and how he screwed them, I'll never get over it. I really enjoyed Voom Until he scuttled it in the middle of the night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4K mini and HR44...Your take

    Made some settings changes It made a minor difference. Native mode off. Only 1080i and 4K selected on tv Resolution. It's better!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4K mini and HR44...Your take

    Question is Could you stand the 5 to 8 second Channel change for the sake of 4K? The severe slowness of channel Change bothers me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4K mini and HR44...Your take

    Thanks again for answer. It makes no sense to me why Direc would not make the HR54 4K accessible? The mini 4K is sluggish at best. Not the best experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who has better Picture Quality Direct TV or Dish?

    The difference between dish and direct are so small. When I watch any sports program tennis, football or hockey The Direc picture has a little more of the wow factor. The picture, to me, is a tad more vivid. Again, just my take. I've checked on all three of my HD sets. Same outcome...
