    Check Your Picture Quality?

    That’s quite the coincidence as in addition to the G2 I also hooked up a new Denon X4800H and have all 7 components running through the Denon via HDMI and nothing hooked up directly to the TV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Check Your Picture Quality?

    On Monday I installed a new LG G2 and ever since then every time I turn on the tv I’m seeing a message to check my picture quality settings to make sure I’m getting the highest resolution. Why am I seeing this message? It’s coming from the HR44 and not the tv. I moved my Samsung QN90B upstairs...

    Why doesn’t a DTV subscription give you access to directv stream?

    What would be cool is if you have your receiver connected to the internet, the minute the system detected any kind of signal loss from rain & snow fade then it would automatically switch over to DirecTV Stream to continue recording or viewing

    Dead HR22 & Dying HR24

    I did use a T10 Torx Screwdriver as there was 4 screws holding the hard drive in place but they all came out with ease

    Dead HR22 & Dying HR24

    I swapped out the HDD in the HR24 and it couldn’t have been easier, the hardest part was getting the cover off without breaking the clips but beyond that it was very easy. I put in a 2TB Seagate Barracuda($63) and it fired right up and back to life. Now to try the 3TB in my HR44(once I watch...

    Dead HR22 & Dying HR24

    Thanks I’ll check it out, I have a 3TB Western Digital I’d like to put into my HR44 internally so I might look at that as well

    Dead HR22 & Dying HR24

    I already have an HR44 along with another working HR22 & H24 but I’d definitely like to add another genie to my account if possible

    Dead HR22 & Dying HR24

    I own both these units and they need new hard drives. Can I use any 2TB drives? I was thinking about WD Purple drives. Someone mentioned that the HR24 drive needs to be 2.5” but I'm not sure. I was also thinking about going external but I think the eSATA docking stations are hard to find now...

    99 and 103 footprint

    That’s like saying that Shaw & Bell aren’t “allowed” in the U.S. and yet there are many especially in ND where I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IP address for On Demand

    Actually the signal is just fine. Our DirecTV account is located at our main home in Minot N.D. and we have a receiver at our Canadian home in Regina S.K. and we can even get our locals with 75-83% signal strength and 88-98% signal strength on the other sats. But a VPN would be needed for on...

    Activation

    I didn’t think SS would deal with Canadians? According to their website they won’t ship to Canada. I see a fair amount of Canadians in my local retailer picking up DirecTV equipment here in N.D. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Directv outage?

    I turned on the HR44 and saw a brief message about not loading guide data for over an hour but all appears well so I’m not sure what it’s about Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    External Hard Drive Enclosure For HR44

    Thanks for the help. I was able to find a step by step instruction video of doing the internal swap although the guy in the video was using an HR54 it should be similar to the 44. I'll have to see if my friend wants to go that route or find an external enclosure. Sent from my iPhone using...

    External Hard Drive Enclosure For HR44

    Thanks, ill look into that. We might try installing the drive internally. I've been told it's not as hard as it looks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    External Hard Drive Enclosure For HR44

    Who would have thought that it was going to be difficult to find an enclosure for a friends HR44? I sold him a 3TB Western Digital Purple Drive I never ended up using with my 44 back when I was a DirecTV subscriber. We went to three different computer shops and no one had what we needed. As a...

    Sunday Ticket BYE, BYE?

    I’ve been watching Sunday Ticket on DAZN live streaming. For just $20/Month or $150 CND for the year I can watch Sunday Ticket & Red Zone. It’s actually quite good, works very well. Much cheaper than DirecTV + if you only want Sunday Ticket you can pay $20/month and than cancel after the season...

    Refused Service

    My neighbor across the street had this exact same problem. He got nowhere after many hours of calls. He refused to pay for something the prior owner of the house did and all he wanted was his own legit account but I think he finally got so fed up he ended up purchasing his own equipment from a...

    Direct TV broker for Canada

    If I were you I’d go for DirecTV Now instead of DirecTV Satellite. With a VPN it’s ridiculously easy to get. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I will definitely be watching the full DTV over the Internet to see how that works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After 18 years it’s time to Say Goodbye D*

    Kind of. I can no longer justify paying for two Satellite subscriptions in two different countries any longer. I’ve finally had enough. As of July 1st Bell & DirecTV will both be shut down. I’m going with OTA and Amazon Prime with a NVIDIA Shield or Minix Neo 9H and DirecTV Now. With a VPN I...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    After a few days of use of the new guide it’s ok. I don’t mind it and it’s definitely not as bad as some made it out to be. It’s surprisingly just as fast as the old guide which I still enjoy on my other receivers. As another user pointed out there doesn’t appear to be any room for channel...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    New guide it is. 0x1040 today at 1:54am. So far it’s not at all sluggish, just as fast as before although I’m not seeing these new channel logos everyone is talking about but I assume it takes time to populate. It’s ok I guess, at least I still have the old guide on my other receivers Sent...

    Please tell me I didn’t just get the new Guide? I hit list and got this. I was hoping to wait it out for a while longer yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s strange. I’m still on the old UI for now.

    "WHEN" can I Upgrade from HR44 to HR54 ??

    I guess it would depend on where the OP is located but quite a few dealers here in ND have them or can get them.
