I'm assuming that the new HR54's still have the old HDMI's, so no 4K on the main unit?

I recently received an HR54-500 from Directv. It was a used unit.

I have a Shaw system. The technology is good but the programming is junk. It's not Shaw's fault, it's the CRTC and the force-feeding of Canadian channels that do nothing but buy American programming, instead of producing their own. By doing so, they lock out U.S. competition. Maybe the...

Isn't it that time of year when the sun passes directly behind the satellites, usually in the afternoon? It usually causes signal lost for a few minutes until it moves behind the next satellite to the west.

I agree to a point. It should cost less. Personally, I think the royalty fees for the performers are excessive. It just keeps going up every year.

It's just the foolishness of needing to add one more receiver for 4K and pay that extra $7 per month. I don't need an extra receiver but if I want 4K, I'll need to pay for one.

I wish that they would start working on a new 4K Genie, so we don't have to pay for a standalone client receiver. They should allow one free C61K, since they Genie HR54 does 4K, but not as a standalone. Just insanity!

Did you try retention? Those people are a little more easy to deal with then a foreign call center. Most CSR's have substandard training and you may need to move up the food chain.

My HR54-500 is at 0x110b. Should this be updated?

I might give that a try. I have an AZ Box and it does DVBS2.

Thanks, I'll wait for the thunderstorms to end and maybe pull out a 39" dish out of the garage.

Yeah, I have the C Band version of MeTV on SES1 at 101w. I hear Cozi is on Ku band, but I've been too lazy to hook up one my Ku dishes to pick it up. I thought that it would be nice to have it on OTA, so I didn't have to switch on the C Band dish for a few channels. I also like to watch local...

Going to try a multi-stack system. Pointing a UHF and VHF antenna array with an RCA TVPRAMP1E preamp for Watertown NY, 80 miles East, A Winegard 8 Bay UHF, with a CM7777 preamp pointed 115 miles south for Syracuse NY and a UHF and VHF antenna array with a CM7777 at Rochester, NY, 90 miles south...

Agreed. MeTV, Antenna TV and COZI should be on satellite but aren't. Nick at Night and TV Land used to show all of these oldies programming but decided that it wanted new production. Now I rarely watch TV Land and Nick at Night.

Vizio tried that and had to go back to putting tuners in their latest models. I for one wanted one of the Vizio's, but passed on it, due to no tuner.

Directv has always been ahead of the curve in picture quality. I've had the opportunity to use C Band for almost 30 years, Directv from the start, Dish Network, Bell Expressvu, and Starchoice/Shaw Direct. Directv is always the company that is willing to update their satellite capacity and be...

Probably going to break down and grab a C61K mini. Maybe I can negotiate a rebate for a year. Directv is pretty nervous about people cord cutting these days. Usually putting that bug in their ear gets you some satisfaction. Most of the normal CSR's are pretty informational deficient from...

I have the last Starchoice 921 with Shaw Direct. I swapped out the battery in early 2013, so the image is still pristine. Shaw decided to swap out all of the legacy receivers, trying to go full HD in the next few months. In early 2013, I JTAG'd the 921 and gave Map-Masters the only surviving...

I know, still fighting over the HD for Life promotion that they'd screwed up back then. I have to keep having them put credits on to make up for it. They can't fix it. It's also ridiculous that some people have that fee waived and others have to pay it. I imagine that 95% of the subscribers...

I too worry about this happening. I just took my H24 out of service to add the H54. I want to add a C61K, but sick of getting dinged for $7 for each extra mini. Directv should allow one free 4K mini, since the main unit doesn't do 4K. I have 1 4K TV and 3 1080P, so I only use two DTV...

I'm using a 49" TCL for 4K. I don't think that it does RVU. My issue was the continuing $7 per tuner. It gets expensive, if you add a few. Since the HR54 allows reception of the 4K, but does not allow you to use it, DTV should allow one free mini, if you want 4K for your main set.

Just hooked up my HR54 Genie and was disappointed that it didn't do 4K. Of course they suggest the 61K for a client receiver, but of course, it's another $7.00 on the bill. You would think that Directv would wave that charge, because it's a client for running 4K programming. For now I'm...
