    Genie recording conflict question

    I have a Genie receiver with one remote location unit. Tonight I had a program set to record at 9PM tonight. No big deal, but it was the only thing being recorded tonight. So, I was watching a baseball game on the primary receiver, and I got a message telling me the receiver had to switch to...

    New DirecTV Install - Locals breaking up

    Now that you mention it, he did say he was only installing 3 LNBs, but that's all I would need, since I could not "see" the older sats. DirecTV sent the guy, so I guess it was a crap shoot who I got. When he installed the system, I told him I had a hub right where the Genie was going, but he...

    DirecTV did it. Let me go look at the name of the company that did it. We called DTV and they sent this guy out. TOTAL MEDIA INSTALLATIONS, East Hartford He seemed to be a good installer. I did, however, have to raise holy hell to get a hard wired Cinema Kit! :)

    Yes. Just the CBS station, but it's been consistant, at times. It's the only station I've seen the issue with, and like I said, it doesn't happen all of the time, mostly around 11pm, but it did it today at the start of the NCAA game. It was really bad

    Thanks for confirmation on my signal strength Jimbo (and Chip). No, I don't have OTA, but I kept my basic cable (SD), so I switched to that for the first half.

    Chip, It's strange, but it's working now. I was trying to watch the NCAA game, and the picture was AFU. I've seen it like this late at night on Channel 3 (Letterman), but CH 3 has been fine most of the time since we got the DTV. What was wierd was that it seemed the commercials were fine, but...

    OK. Thanks for your input Chip. I was worried about those low numbers on a few of them, but I guess those are not my issue. Thanks again

    Hi Chip, HD Channels. The installer told me I would be unable to get the SD channels at my location. How can I tell what sat I'm on for CH 3? Thanks

    New DirecTV Install - Locals breaking up

    I'm having an issue with the local stations on my new DirecTV installation. I would guess that the locals are on the lowest satellite, and the dish can't see them well. I was very familiar with Dish installs when I had it, but have gotten out of the satellite loop, and really don't know much...

    Remote problem with Genie RVU-C31 Client Receiver

    I have a new DirectTV installation (about 2 weeks old) and have an issue with the RVU-C31 Client Receiver. It seems to get into a remote repeat mode, where I press, for example, Down (once), and it keeps going down in the guide. Also, if I try and get to say Channel 213, it tries to go to...

    Genie and an RF Remote

    If you configure the Genie to use an RF remote, does that deactivate the IR sensor? In other words, if you set up the Genie itself for RF, does that mean you can no longer use an IR remote on the unit? Thanks

    Q re: Genie record resolution

    If I set the Genie to display a lower video resolution on its associated display, will it record in low rez, or will it still record in 1080i/720p or whatever the source is? Thanks in advance

    Does the AM21 work with in-house modulated channels?

    I have some old analog cctv cameras that I have connected to a Channel Plus Modulator that I currently can view on analog channels 89, 91, and 93. I just had a Genie system installed with one remote location. If I ordered one of the AM21's, could I connect my RF cable feed with these...

    Couple of Q's from a new DirecTV user

    Thanks John, So let me get this straight. If I put the HR34 on my hub, I'm good? I don't even need the extra "cinema" box? If so, then the small remote receiver in the other room will also have access to On Demand and such? That would be great. The thing the installed saw the hub right there...

    Couple of Q's from a new DirecTV user

    I had Dish for 10 years or so, from the 4000 reciever up to the 922, but left them when they dumped SNY and most local sports 2 years ago. Went to cable, and today dumped them (Charter) and am now a DirecTV guy! For the first time ever, I had the provider do the installation, and the guy who...

    Does DTV have (or planning for) an "Eastern Arc"?

    Sorry for my cluelessness, but I was a Dish subscriber for 10+ years, but switched back to cable when they dumped the NY Sports channels because sports are important in my house. I started out with the original Dish 4000/5000 receivers and went from there through all the bells and whistles...

    Out-of-the-Blue DTV bill for "Tax Adjustment"

    The lady on the phone treated me like I had an overdue bill, and that "she'd make a note on my account" that I was sending in a check. I felt like telling her to shove off, but my credit rating is very high and I don't want to trash it over $13, but the whole thing stinks. What if I moved? They...

    Out-of-the-Blue DTV bill for "Tax Adjustment"

    Here's the deal. I called the Direct TV number on the web page and found out the bill was legit, or so they say. My service was disconnected by my choice in 2006. They claim they did an audit on Federal Taxes collected, and the I was undercharged the $13.40 and now I have to pay it. So, for...
