    Need some recommendations for internet TV?

    I changed to Hulu+Live (with the Enhanced DVR and Unlimited Streams options for just under $70/month) about three months ago and haven't looked back. there are some adjustments to be made for sure but none of them are that earth shattering. Concurrent streams may be an issue - YTTV only allows...

    DirecTV Stricter on Retention Question??

    My 2 year price guarantee runs out in August so I've been scouting the streaming services. At this point, the best value to me seems to be a combo of YouTube TV and Philo. Together they are $56 per month and cove practically everything in my D* Ultimate package. Both have unlimited DVR, YouTube...

    AT&T's new streaming box offered to Directv Now customers for testing

    I get that IP delivery is the future and, in theory, I'm OK with that. The problem is the Cloud DVR and the 'very' limited storage and time limits available. Let's face it, they won't keep thousands of copies of the same program for customers. The DVR 'recording' is simply a pointer to a show...

    Are the issues with the new Genie 2 system getting fixed?

    I got mine in October and the only issue I have is skipping/dropping frames when there is heavy DVR recording/playback to my external drive. My theory is that it's too cheap a drive (I pulled a large drive from an external backup I bought because it was cheaper than buying a bare standalone...

    external Hard drive

    Almost any hard drive in an external eSata enclosure will "work". I've recently been seeing things like skips in recordings - but if you back up a few seconds it plays correctly. This is leading me to believe that some drives, especially 5400 RPM drives or drives pulled from large capacity...

    New Firmware (0xff1) Series Manager Problem

    Note: This happened when I tried to modify one of the original entries to save ‘All Episodes’. Wanted to make that clear.

    New Firmware (0xff1) Series Manager Problem

    Last week I got the new firmware pushed out. Mostly ok with just “it’s different” issues. Until today, that is. I noticed that my series recordings were now set to record only five episodes which doesn’t work for me because I often binge watch when they pileup. When I set the recording in Series...

    C61 Genie Mini Models

    I'm in the process of getting 4K service on my DTV account. I have an HR54 Genie already and know that I need a C61K Genie Mini to output 4K to the new 4K TV. The hardware list shows that I have a C61-100 on one of my sets. My question is if that C61-100 is what is referred to as a C61K...

    Changes to system to Add 4K TV

    It appears that I have all that I need outside of the HS17 and a C61K client. The system info says I have a SL3 LNB dish, SWM LNB, a Reverse Band RB/INTL, and a 22 SWM channel count. I chatted with rep this afternoon who swore that an HS-17 would NOT provide 4K to a client. I should have known...

    Changes to system to Add 4K TV

    Two weeks ago I had a new install of DTV completed with an HR54 and all new cable runs to three additional TV's. The HR54 is connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable to my router. Everything is working extremely well with no problems. I've unexpectedly learned that I can acquire a 4K...
