    YouTube on Directv

    Problem resolved. I found (and followed) dcd's instructions for a thorough reset. I had done everything listed, but had not previously known the proper order to perform the steps. No Youtube HR23-700 | DIRECTV Receiver Technical Sup | DIRECTV Technical Help Forums "Do a red...

    YouTube on Directv

    Could you provide a search example that works for you. Although I have checked on YouTube to see if my searches are valid, my choices don't seem to be acceptable.

    YouTube on Directv

    My software was updated to 4A7 this morning and there was an announcement that I should be able to access YouTube listings through SmartSearch. However, I have not yet been able to do so, even after calling Directv Support. The CSR was also not able to access YouTube content on the system she...

    HR20 thru HR24 Software Release ver. 4A9/4A7/4A6 5/11/11

    Thanks for the screenshots. When I got up at 3am this morning, I couldn't get the yellow button on my remote to access the Directv Subtitle menu (and I use it 90% of the time.) Now, I know where the option has been moved. Unfortunately, I much prefer using the Yellow button. I had noticed...

    DirecTV Total Choice+ vs Choice Extra

    Glad to have stumbled on this, as I was trying to figure out what Choice Extra offered over Total Choice Plus. According to the Programming lists on the Directv web-site, there are a number of HD channels on Choice Extra that I thought I was going to have to upgrade for. But, I discovered...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    Well ... I was about ready to switch providers and called one more time and went through the retention line. I'm now set up for Whole Home DVR free SWM install with free upgrades to an HD DVR and an HD Receiver. I just wish cancelling the first order and re-writing a new one had not caused my...

    Non-install today

    I don't know how long ago that they gave you that information, but when I tried to get them to give me access to the company scheduled for my Saturday upgrade, they said that they used to have access to the information, but they no longer do. They actually did give me access several years...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    I used to run a Hughes HTL-HD and three RCA standard DRD435RH. Now, after the kids moved out, I only use the HTL-HD and one DRD435RH. I deactivated the other (owned) standard receivers. The two I use now are to be replaced with an HD-DVR and an HD Receiver for the new HD TV in the bedroom.

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    FWIW ... we didn't have the home built. It was a spec home that had been sitting vacant for a year before we bought it. The electricians didn't run the coax. The builder used a company that does their pre-wiring for the telephone lines, network cable, security systems, audio and video stuff...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    Well ... that's two people I talked to today who have no clue. They both insisted that I had to have two cables. I'm getting totally stressed out. I don't want this guy to get out here and not have what is necessary to do the job and have to wait for him to come back once he finds out what...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    I don't understand SWM I called D* back today to make sure that the installer would know/understand that our main TV (where we want to upgrade from a HD Receiver to an HD DVR) only has one cable coming down the wall. It is not possible to run another cable down that wall. At the present...

    Nope ... not using MRV ... keeping life simple.

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    OK ... I get a "free" HD-DVR and HD Receiver and a new dish installed for "free." Once the receivers are activated I can call back in and get 24 months of free HD Access. Now that I have an install scheduled, for the new dish, I am getting nervous about the install. Obviously the original...

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    Only one line, using a diplexer to split the line so we can use OTA as well.

    Need to upgrade dish and receiver

    OK ... I held out for three years and it's time to do something now before our current equipment kicks the bucket. Our HD Receiver reboots several times every evening ... and the Standard Receiver has to be rebooted almost every time we turn the TV on. So ... we are upgrading from the...

    Free Starz for Hurricane Ike

    Hmmm ... they giveth and they taketh away. We still have Showtime (the original offer) but Starz is no longer available. I can't complain about the free Showtime, but it sure has been an unusual ride.

    Free Starz for Hurricane Ike

    Starz posted to my online account as of 11/6/08 ($0.00) and Showtime posted 11/7/08 ($0.00.) I certainly never expected the free package, but once they offered, I expected them to follow through. It's encouraging to know that they made up for the delay by adding another package. It is...

    Free Starz for Hurricane Ike

    After I posted earlier this evening, we checked STARZ since the OP mentioned STARZ instead of SHOWTIME. Amazingly, STARZ is turned on even though it wasn't a few days ago.

    Free Starz for Hurricane Ike

    Did they actually turn it on? We got the same notice regarding Free Showtime for three months starting November 1. They haven't turned it on yet ... even after several phone calls to them asking about it. They confirmed that if we got the letter we should get it, but they had no explanation...

    Required Upgrade from Hughes HTL-HD receiver

    Yet another reason to avoid their "offer." Thanks! :D

    Required Upgrade from Hughes HTL-HD receiver

    It is free ... but I would also have to insist on their not charging me for HD access for my local channels since my current setup allows me to access OTA HD at no charge. I'm not sure they will go for that, but it might be worth a try ... if I were up for the headache of upgrading. :)

    Required Upgrade from Hughes HTL-HD receiver

    Thanks for the confirmation. I was really not looking forward to getting into a conversation with someone who wanted to force me into a hardware upgrade and a new time committment. On another note ... I am having trouble navigating the forums today. I still have my original screen up where I...

    Required Upgrade from Hughes HTL-HD receiver

    Last night I got a recorded phone message from Directv. The gist of the message was that they noticed that I have an older HD receiver (Hughes HTL-HD) and that it will soon be mandatory that I upgrade it. If we aren't subscribing to any HD programming and only viewing OTA HD programming why...
