After many years on satellite... first Dish and then DirecTV (switched when Dish had a falling out with MSG and I couldn't watch Sabres games).... I've gone back to cable. Really it kinda became a money thing. Combined cost for TV, internet, and phone was about $230 when I was on satellite. Now...

I have Frontier DSL for internet. 12Mb/s and also for phone. I have DirecTV Satellite bill about $125 a month Phone/Internet bill about $90 a month. So about $215 for phone/internet/TV Time Warner has a bundle with phone/internet (50Mb/s)/and their "Preferred" TV package (200+ channels) for...

So I just got this Samsung 4K TV. I'm looking at rearranging my AV connections and started looking at HDMI cables. There are some newer, very fast cables out there. 18Gb/sec. Made for 4K and (I think) 3D. I don't have 3D (Samsung UN50HU6950F) and I don't have any sources that output 4K. The TV...

I got this TV kinda by accident. I actually went out to buy a 55 inch 6350, but the store I went to was out of them even though when I checked online before going... it said they had them in stock. Anyways... long story short, I came home with this 50 inch 4k 6950. SOOoooo glad I didn't get the...

Just got a Samsung 6950, 50 inch. UHD 4K, yadda, yadda, yadda.... I called DirecTV and said, it's in my living room, connected to my HR-34, and I don't see any 4K programming availability. Nope... The Genie (HR-34) needs to be connected to a NON-4K TV. The new Samsung doesn't get connected to...

For the FIRST TIME in all the years I've had satellite (more than 10 years maybe?) I had to go out and gently sweep the sticky snow off our dish. :) It was maybe an inch thick. Came right off when I touched it, but.... first time... so I'm no longer a snow-clearing virgin... *sigh*

Anyone got any idea why my HR-34 will decide not to respond to the down arrow ONLY when in the List (recordings)? I can down-arrow anywhere else. I rebooted the other night before we went to bed and nothing was recording and after a reboot, it worked again. Now tonight my wife went to watch...

On Amazon the GenieGo 2 is $149 (save $50 !!!) .... sure... On Solid Signal it's $169 What's it cost from DirecTV if I just order it online? Hard to find pricing unless I go through adding it and then hoping I get a chance to cancel before it actually orders it. :) AND.... where do I look up...

I have a Genie (HR34) with a genie client in the kitchen and an HR24 in the bedroom. I want to add a TV down in the basement (exercise area). I was thinking of getting a small Samsung that's "DirecTV Ready". I have a wired network connection, power, and an OTA Antenna connection right on the...

Ok so right now I'm waiting for a replacement for my HR-34 which started having hard drive errors. We're going to lose the stuff on the DVR. (again) I'm sure I've read about this before but can't seem to find it now. If I hook up an external hard drive to an HR-34, is it tied to the receiver...

And seems to be stuck there. HR34 froze while we were watching live TV. New year's eve entertainment. No response to remote. I did the RBR and it spins up, says just a few more moments, and then hangs on running receiver self check Did it croak?

Anyone using this? It looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how well it works in actual world. If it works like it says, it would allow me to sit out on my screen porch and watch TV without having to install a TV out there. Or I could download a couple shows onto my tablet and watch them on...

Topic says it. I was watching the C31 in the kitchen when it just quit and asked me to select a server. Went into living room to reboot the HR34 and discovered it was already rebooting. This is about 8:50am. I find that a bit odd. The good news is, as soon as the HR34 rebooted, the C31 came...

Just had a C31 installed yesterday. Got a message in my email welcoming me to the Protection Plan at $5.99 a month.... huh? I didn't sign up for the protection plan. So I went online and checked and there it was. So I removed it. No big deal, but I don't recall signing anything that enabled it...

I previously had a pair of HR24s with MRV. We needed more tuners so I got one HR24 swapped out and replaced with an HR34. It has had some issues with playbacks freezing. I don't mean stuttering. I mean stopping. You're done. I'm not playing any more. This is it. Finito. So you miss like... the...

Wife wants a flat panel above the fridge in the kitchen. Flat panel = easy (because it's small.... 29" or so), making a cabinet.... not so easy but I've made the entire kitchen full of cabinets so one more shouldn't be horrible. Now..... receiver.... she wants it connected to satellite so I need...

Since we switched out 1 HR24 for this new HR34 we've had intermittent issues with recordings not playing back correctly. I've been watching this and asking my wife questions and I have it narrowed down to only happening on recordings on the HR34. Most of the time it's a matter of watching...

BOTH of my receivers were giving me the "can not detect internet" messages. They were both working fine last week. Only reason we noticed is because wife tried to get an on-demand program. The units could see each other and my computer could ping them, but they couldn't get on the internet...

I don't have it scheduled to do updates during the day. Anyone else? I wasn't quick enough to see what software it was getting but a quick check says it has 0x5D3 and got it today at 9:29am. If I go to the Menu and Search and Browse, I have a "New" item "TV Shows"., but of course now my...

Darn near impossible to get information on what the charge will be after the 12 month promo ends. Anyone using TWC have just internet? What speed at what cost after the initial 12 month promo goes away? Thanks

Just got an HR34 yesterday. I have an app on my android tablet that turns it into a remote. It works over the network. It can tell me what each TV is watching. Or at least it USED to be able to tell me that. Now it only can tell me what's "On Now" on my HR24. It says the information is blocked...

I'm replacing an HR24 with an HR34. My current setup is with the HR24 connected via HDMI to my Yamaha AVR. I seem to be reading that there are some issues with the HR34 connected like this? Is that just with certain AVRs? Will I need to separate out the audio? My plan was to just do a simple...

I'm off contract as of today. I started looking to see what deals new customers are getting so I can call and see what incentive they might offer me to stay. New customers get the Genie for FREE, PLUS they get $30 a month off for 12 months (Choice Ultimate - the package I have) PLUS $10 a month...

What are the chances I could talk them into upgrading one of my HR24s to an HR34? I still have the pads on the roof to switch back to E and if the incentives are there I could probably save a boatload of cash again... and then just wait it out for 2 years and switch back :) I never thought...
