That is good to know. I just have to wait and see what happens with the internet situation here. It has been free for about two years in this low income and rural area. I never asked for it but kept getting mailings from Spectrum that all I had to do is go pick up the equipment. I understand...

I have been researching the possibility of streaming DirecTV. I had the satellite service several years ago. I have tried several of the "cable like" streaming services and as a senior citizen do not like all of the extra button pushing just to bring up a guide and worse yet record a single...

As a potential customer I am interested due to the fact that neither MeTV or H&I are available OTA in El Paso. COZI's picture is bit-starved due to cramming in more channels in the signal stream and there is no guide data except from the national web site. It would be beneficial to Direct TV...

Thank you.

I was able to find a member who indicated that MeTV is HD with Direct. What about H&I and COZI? If not HD, are they at least full screen 16:9?

I called and was told that since that above referenced list was published 07/01/22 that the Family, Choice and Preferred Choice packages have been eliminated. Supposedly the lowest priced package is Select so I switched to it. I loose very little other than a few sports and the only games I...

Well, not much worthwhile in these lower packages.

I see in the fine print of my 2 year commitment that a base package of $29.99 is required. What is $29.99? I have "Googled" some old information about Choice or Family plans but am not sure if they are still available or for what price and included channels. At my age a crisis is just one...

I forgot to mention above that I was hopeful the device would work since under Menu/Settings/Info and Test if I scrolled down to the bottom there was a heading of "over-the-air (OTA) antenna". Of course there was no information there before but now it shows the relevant items.

Since it has been a couple of years since this subject was brought up I thought I would start a new thread. I just received my used AM21N from eBay today. It works just as expected! I did a lot of research both here and on a couple of other forums whether the unit would work with a Genie...

I think my curiosity is satisfied. Thanks to all.

I believe the only neighboring spot beams that would be reliable are Albuquerque and Tucson. Both also have the advantage of being in Mountain Time although Arizona does not go to Daylight Savings Time in the summer.

Thank you so much! This is very interesting. I knew Albuquerque would be very strong at a 98 as they also serve Alamogordo which is only 80 miles north of El Paso. Odessa is only coming in at the mid-20s which is a bit surprising in that they serve the huge Big Bend area. Now that it is...

Indeed I can not open the Edgecutter file on my Apple computer. Now I am curious in that I am obviously getting several neighboring spot beams, some at a fair strength. Would another member be so kind as to simply post or message what is on: 99s 1&3, 16-18 and 20-22...

Thanks, that just about answers it.

It seems many of the online charts are out of date. I have gotten the general idea that most if not all HD is on 103 as are my El Paso locals. I was just curious.

Is there any quick way to see which satellite is being used for the channel I am currently viewing? I believe that when I had Dish if I went to the signal meter screen it showed the current satellite and strength. With the Genie the signal diagnosis always starts with the 101 location although...

Another consideration in my choice of satellite over streaming is that I am on a reduced or no fee internet program. I was getting by with a less expensive and very inferior service. My entire neighborhood was declared as a undeserved rural community. The maximum speed is about 30mb/s which is...

Thank you.

As I tidied up the original installation I found I needed to sit my Genie DVR vertically. Other than that, it gets plenty of ventilation, in fact the air slots are now on the top rather than the side. It seems a lot of equipment sits vertically nowadays but would this be a problem with the...

That is good to know since when I made the decision to sign back up I was a bit concerned that they might go to all streaming.

Well, I tried several live TV streaming services but became frustrated with most of them. They use a remote with just the "OK" button and 4 arrows. Any action requires multiple pushes and scrolling. Even Sling eliminated the ability to record just one episode of a show. Just because I see...

I just did a "chat" and was told again that the Family Package is not available at my location. I wonder if it is available anywhere or this is just their standard line to all customers?

I saw "chat" pop up while on the site. I have never used that for anything, maybe I should try something new.

Yes, that is about what I thought or it is an outright fabrication to keep me from lowering my bill. I will wait a while to make any more calls as it is so unpleasant. They insist on quizzing me about my internet usage even after I inform them that at&t internet is not available here and my...
