AT&T Fiber now has no caps regardless of bundling with any other services. This does not necessarily apply to DSL-based services which may still have caps

I'm not sure where you came up with this cockamamie ATSC 3.0 scheme but that is nowhere in the conversation with the RSNs. The number of subscribers that would be willing to jump through all those hoops is tiny, not to mention how long away we are from ATSC 3.0 being widespread in any form. Also...

U-verse had just a few million subscribers. The initial thesis was that combining U-Verse and DirecTV would get them even better synergies with programmers. This was before cord cutting really took off, AT&T got DirecTV at the very top of their peak, and the execs at AT&T were and are...

Both Comcast and Charter. The two largest cable companies in the country accounting for a majority of cable subscribers in the US

But I can already do that with a DirecTV login and Channels DVR which will aggregate TV Everywhere authenticated streams into an on screen guide and DVR. And I could do that with an actual DirecTV Stream account

This is actually the biggest head scratcher of AT&T's video strategy. With DISH and Sling it makes sense because they are targeting different markets and different contractual obligations around the channels they carry. But with AT&T, they actively wanted to consider U-Verse, DirecTV, and Stream...

Of course it's a satellite receiver, it has an input for a satellite dish, and has a SWM count on it. And of course it can do VOD over IP just like every other DirecTV receiver today. Everyone in this thread seems to be getting way, way, way ahead of themselves, and the various people feeding...

They shouldn't even be giving out SD equipment as replacements. Every box shipped to or installed in a customer location should be HD and MPEG-4 capable, otherwise they're just guaranteeing a truck roll in the future.

nope

Yeah, there are a lot of single points of failure. They're TV boxes, not life or death computer servers. redundancy isn't a thing they're going to plan around

For everyone who keeps talking about keeping HR boxes on the same setup as this new HS17...probably need to get over it. The number of people who want to keep those types of setups are small. Just like Dish you can't have non-Hopper receivers on the same account as a Hopper. 99% of people are...

Fox had no intention of broadcasting in 4K, but they use the 4K and 8K cameras to get full resolution replay and the 360 degree stuff. Given the economics of Super Bowl ads, I wouldn't hold out much hope for getting a national feed any time soon. Local affiliates do not want to give up that...

I would not be surprised to see them start to allow/use ethernet instead of just coax. AT&T has been using and supporting ethernet in customer homes for a while, and their workforce has a lot of experience with it. Of course coax will always be there, and might always be preferred, but these...

I've seen August in other places myself sourced from a supposed DirecTV employee. Take it with a grain of salt

This box is almost 100% what they said they would be releasing before AT&T closed the deal with DirecTV. They may not be "for residential" right now, but add an internet gateway to this and it is a culmination of what AT&T has dreamed of since before they bought DirecTV. This is just stage one...

It will be more like the DirecTV software than Mediaroom. Part of the whole rationale behind merging U-Verse with DirecTV is that they can dump Mediaroom (which they don't own or control) for DirecTV's platform (which they do own and control in-house)

There is no way in a billion years that Dish and DirecTV would be allowed to merge under the current administration. They didn't allow AT&T and T-Mobile, they won't allow Dish and DirecTV. FiOS and U-Verse are not widespread enough to be a new competitor to offset the loss of an option.

Yep, that will work just fine. Just make sure you get a DirecTV SWM approved splitter, not a cable TV splitter. DECA is the same thing as MoCA in the cable world (DECA is just DirecTV's marketing name for MoCA), it just operates in a different frequency range so that it works with satellite...

You absolutely can. You need an ethernet switch. Cat5 from the DECA into the switch, then a Cat5 from the switch to the Denon and one to the DirecTV receiver. Do keep in mind that it's not supported by DirecTV, so if something DECA related stopped working and they came out to fix it, they'd...

It doesn't. They're definitely not abandoning HR34s in the field yet. You'd be wise to keep on them to get it and watch your account.

I've "moved" a few counties over to get Atlanta locals because I can pick up my own (Birmingham) with my AM21. I am about to need to send a receiver back, where do they send the recovery kits? Do they send them to the service address or the billing address?

You can guarantee an HR44 vs. HR34, but you have to order the receiver from a retailer like Solid Signal or Weaknees that will ship it directly to you. Sometimes people have luck going to DirecTV and ordering a new system from a retailer so they guarantee the model and then getting a credit...

The HOA can't put rules into place that force you to install in unacceptable locations. If DirecTV says a chimney install is not acceptable, then the HOA rule is invalid. They can't say you can't install on the roof OR pole mount, particularly if any of those areas are exclusive areas. Also...

It shouldn't matter, but it sounds like the switch in the LNB is bad.

But only when you're watching something on the C31 live. It's a good way to conserve SWM channels but have the functionality available at a given TV should you need it.
