We are paying $22 per month equipment fees for one TV with an HR34 DVR. Is that the correct price?

Discovery GO app now works for DIRECTV customers.

I have an HR34 so making a custom channel list would be a tedious process of slowly clicking through the laggy UI and often over shooting the menu choice I want or pressing the select button multiple times to get a response and then ending up deep inside the wrong menu.

I have the SELECT package. For whatever reason the "channels I get" guide choice lists several channels that I don't in fact get such as ESPN and others. It has been that way for a long time. What gives? I'm fine with not having ESPN and don't want it listed in the channel list either.

She was about to call them again but then there was an update sent to her HR34 which has fixed the problems. The UI is now responsive and the receiver does not need to be power cycled in the morning.

Hi everybody. I'm writing because I hope to get some tips on how to help my mother deal with DirecTV. She has an HR34 DVR. Each morning when she wakes up and turns on the TV, the receiver tells her that it has lost its signal. She has to unplug then re-plug in the DVR and then go through the...

Many years ago Windows Media Center had an addin that provided this exact feature. It worked flawlessly to skip all commercials.

Once again this morning Directv pushed down its defective software to my DVR. I always know when they do it because the picture becomes garbled. Luckily 0x59e is still in the stream and I could again 02468 to get back to the version that works.

No. Directv told me I could downgrade and not lose free he so I did and then found my free hd was gone. They made me switch back to get free hd again and then charged me partial month hd fee even though they told me the wrong thing.

Still messed up so did 02468 and it pushed down 059e again which works perfectly. Going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Downloading the CE tonight. HOPE it fixes the green flicker glitch.

The old national that worked perfectly was the new GUI. I would never ask for the old blue GUI back.

I posted the issue in the CE forums a few times before stopping the CE downloads. Yes I tried it, the problem coming up again was how I knew that a new version was pushed down last night. It happens when I watch recorded shows, not live tv. Found I can "fix" it by toggling the video mode on...

Yes unfortunately it pushed down again this morning.

Did 02468 at restart and it downloaded 0x59e. Problem is gone. Phew Is 0x5c8 newer than 0x59e? In other wards am I through the worst of it or might 0x5c8 be pushed down again?

Last night Directv pushed down the defective software 0x5c8 version that I rejected and complained about in the CE. I stopped downloading the CE releases about a month ago because of what they did to my picture. Every 20-40 seconds green garbage flickers across the screen. It drives me nuts so I...

Well they put me back on CHOICE XTRA CLASSIC with Free HD so I'm back where I started. No mention of refunding me for the partial month charge of CHOICE with paid HD but I don't have the energy to even bring it up. Oh well, really was happy with CHOICE package but with paid HD, it cost more...

Still no response from the special assistance department. I'lll give them another day. What is the office of the president's email address? Thanks

They responded that they were forwarding my email to the special support area. Have not heard back yet.

My worst fear in this transition from Choice Xtra to Choice took place as I feared that it would. On my newest bill, I am being charged for HD programming. I sent an email to DirecTV to tell them that the charge was incorrect and recieved a response that free HD was removed when I changed my...

Pressing red button to restart did not fix Nat Geo showing up gray in the guide. Reauthorizing the receiver did not fix it either. Oh well, just going to give it time to fix itself.

Well I'm on Choice now. Best I can do without losing Free HD thereby invalidating the saving from Entertainment package. Still paying for a bunch of channels I don't want but oh well. It is odd, Nat Geo is part of Choice package and I still get it but the row is grayed out in my guide.

Decided to take a chance and call to see what they could do for me. The CSR checked and found out that the lowest package that includes free HD for existing customers is Choice. Entertainment package did not qualify for free HD. I was on Choice Xtra because when I subscribed, that was the...

So confused with the new packages. I have Directv Choice Xtra package that I got in 2011. I only took the Xtra piece because it was the lowest package available at the time that included free HD. It ended up being cheaper then Choice package which required $10 HD add on. The new Entertainment...

Iceberg, I thought that the free HD was only for new customers. In the past, Choice Xtra was the lowest package that qualified for free HD so figured it would be the same for existing customers on new packages.
