    Early Termination Fee

    Back in Nov 2018 my HR24 quit working so I called DTV to get it replaced. A few days later, I got another HR24 and went through the lengthy activation drill. In Aug2019 the 2nd different HR24 shot craps and I called DTV and threatened to quit and got retention but I quit anyway. The retention...

    HR24 High Definition

    I recently got a new UHD TV and when I check the display resolution on HD channels it always displays 480P which is not HD. Is the receiver defective; it's suppose to support up to 1080P? According to my bill, I get HD free for having auto pay.

    Changing Xtra to Preferred Xtra

    I wanted to use Chat but could not find a link. I guess Chat is gone. Anyway called the 5000 number and talked to "M" (yeah that was here name) and could hardly understand her. She indicated I would have to subscribe to the Korean pkg to make the change and I told her I already had it. Asked...

    Regional Sports Fee

    I am in the St Louis DMA and pay $4.53/mo but STL has no basketball team nor a football team (RAMS went to northern Mexico). So how does DTV calculate the regional sports fee? All we have is a hockey team. What am I exactly getting for this fee?

    HR24 Acting Weird

    One of our HR24s is acting very strange. It keeps going to channel 9 and sometimes channel 99. The remote control becomes 99% non-responsive. The light on the receiver will blink when a key is pressed but there is no change to the video/audio. I have tried the red button reset and a power...

    RC65RX does not control HR24

    My original RC65RX shot craps (quit working- -green light would not come on even with new batteries). I bought 2 new ones on Amazon and about all they do is light up the green light. I looked in the manual and on-line and no joy. I tried the Select/Mute 981 thingy, not sure what that's...

    International Package Rate Increases

    I note that the long thread on general price increases does not mention international package increases. Is there a DTV link to those price increases if any??

    AM21N vs. AM21

    The sensitivity on my AM21 is rather poor when compared to my Silicondust receiver or my HDTVs. When DTV launched the AM21N circa 2011, did they use a new generation tuner chip or was the change merely cosmetic?

    Frequent Data Calls to DirecTV

    One or collectively both of my HR24s are calling DirecTV 8005315602 at least a dozen times a day (my VOIP service logs all calls). I figured I would run a System Test on both HR24s to determine if there was a phone line connection problem. Both receivers passed BUT apparently System Test does...

    STB calling DirecTV many times

    Now that I have VOIPO and can review calling logs, I noticed that my two HR-24s are calling 8005315602 and 8666858469 an inordinate number of times. For example, Thursday yesterday it/they called out 25 times. So far today, it's up to 17 times. Wednesday it was 17 times. My privacy setting do...

    DirecTV on Demand Internet Connection

    A couple of days ago I hooked my HR24 to the internet to see what the On Demand product looked like. I do see tons of programs but if you select on it merely asks, inter alia, if you want to record the program. If one is not interested in PPV, what benefits are there being connected to the...

    New Cell Phone Tower but Who's Antenna?

    I live several miles out of town and only Verizon provides reliable home cell phone service. They are a bit pricey though. About a year ago and cell phone tower went up about a half a mile away (I can see if from my driveway) and doing internet searches I determined who owns the tower. However...

    Self Install Internet Service Only

    I intend to order U-Verse internet service and use the self-install option to save $150. According to the AT&T site, I will have to pay a one time $100 fee for the 2wire gateway modem/router. I already have AT&T POTS which I intend to keep and will be running Cat 5E from my utility/telecom room...

    Lost International Programming

    The International Pkg I subscribe to on 95 disappeared at about 1125 CST. Signal levels are OK (88 - 92) but program guide does not show the international channels, including the free ones like CTV, above channel 1100. Red button reboot no help. Guess I get to play CSR roulette. :( So far with...

    Picture Pixilation and Low Signal warning with Surge Protector

    We got DTV about a week ago. My HR24 was fine but the other HR24 was acting like a rain fade issue so my other half thought it was due to weather. Last night she asked me to check it out and it looked like a marginal signal level. The picture would break up but not disappear, the audio would cut...
