    4K upgrade.....does it put you in a new contract period?

    We have a TCL Roku TV.....Watched the Super Bowl that way.....it was nice but certainly not a huge improvement over HD for me. My local Hockey team is now broadcasting its games in 4k on one of the Directv 4k channels....not sure if that enough of an incentive to upgrade my equipment...still...

    Happy Birthday DirecTV

    I find it interesting when people talk about how expensive DTV is.....I did some checking on our own expenses over the years. In 2009 our avg monthly DTV bill was around $106. Last year it was $105. Those numbers include, Sports, NHL Center Ice, Sunday Ticket and a large ($60- $70) monthly...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    I believe 11a3 was a CE....Weekend nights are when CE's are usually released. Best to avoid CE's unless your willing to deal with some issues....Weekday nights are when NR's are in the stream...usually...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    1104 is doing what the previous version(1088) did...that is it does not show all recordings in the playlist. I have an hr24 that will show all recordings. When I do the "test" of the hr44, it restores all recordings to the list...pretty strange behavior....no rhyme or reason to the recordings...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    Me too....more of us than people think. With land lines you can actually hear/understand the person on the other end! Hate it when someone calls me with their cell phone.

    Happy Dishstore Customer

    You might try this...Hold down the "Mute" and "Select" buttons on the remote, then press 9-6-3 then "Channel Down", remote leds at the top will blink 4 times if you do it right. This action cancels the remote from sending an "ID" signal to the HR with every push of a remote key. This speeds up...

    HR20-700 slow

    If you have'nt tried these already maybe they would help, it did on my HR20: 1) Do a "Menu Reset" of the HR20 2) On your remote,press and hold the "SELECT" and "MUTE" buttons. Wait for the Green lights at the top of your remote to blink twice. Then enter" 963" ,then press "CHANNEL DOWN"...

    NFL Premium Package Offer

    If you are really getting DTV,then why not let them install their DECA system? Being a new customer to them ,you will probably get the install for free. DECA means less wires and only 1 internet hookup is needed(thru an ICK) My 2 cents

    scoreboard issues

    This is my pet peeve. WHY did DTV make this feature this way. Why does it turn off at all? If you don't like it just don't bother using the RED button. If you are on a sports channel then this feature is something that is very useful and doesn't need to be turned off. I use it and do get annoyed...

    DECA and MRV setup

    Glad YOU figured it out, but shouldn't the installer have had everything working before he left? Now a second trip to your house is needed.

    YET AGAIN, Pens Leafs game blacked out only on DIRECTV

    I have Sports Pack w/DTV. I too am blacked out when the Pens game is on NHL Network. I get the pregame on 659 but when the game coverage starts it goes black and I have to switch to NHL Network. The last game with Toronto was with the Pens announcers though. But again FSN Pitt/659 went black...
