    Thanks we weren't sure how or if they would even do it. Was worried they would try to deny thinking they were simply trying to get new customer pricing. She still has DNS FOX/CBS/NBC from before our locals went live and fusses because she would lose the West coast feeds. I can't get her to...

    My parents are splitting up, actually have(tho not divorced yet) as he has lived 100 miles away for a few years. Anyway DTV is in his name, and he is going to shut it down. My Mom wants to keep it, but cannot afford it on her SS check. Will DTV allow her to sign up as a new customer and get...

    Roof replacement

    if she does not want to risk several days without service she may even want to call and request the dish be moved from the roof to the side of the house or a pole on ground before the roof work(if these are feasible). Last time we had a dish failure it took the local company 7 business days to...

    Help! I need my college football!

    if you have broadband internet then you can at least use Watch ESPN app to get them until it is fixed. Take my word for it, go get a Roku or other streaming device if you don't have one, you will love it.

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    after 13 years of being with D* I called and cancelled last night. once I told the auto attendant I wished to disconnect my account I sat on hold 25 mins waiting for a rep at 930 at night! the rep asked if he could give me NFLST free for a year and 10.00 off for a year to keep me, I politely...

    Genie Questions

    you can't block it so a different list shows at each mini, but you can setup parental controls so that the kids cannot watch anything above a certain rating. This can be done at each mini, so one kid can be TV-g and the next PG-13. If she goes with a genie and full dvrs then each can be set to...

    Goodbye Directv! It's been good but......

    my 2 year contract is up next month and I am seriously considering killing DTV. we pay 100.00 a month for a genie, 2 minis and a HR24. the 2 minis and the HR24 have not been watched in months. Everything we watch in the den on the Genie can be streamed within a day or so of air, plus we have...

    Extending RF remote range on an H24

    is it possible to run cables in the basement to move the RF antenna closer to where they will use the remotes, not necessarily up to the main floor but at least in that general vicinity? all you need is some RG6 with connectors on it and the adapter for the antenna plug.

    Music & Photo Streaming Missing

    it won't show unless it sees a media share on your network. So either the network settings hosed up on the HR44 or you no longer have a computer/device publically sharing media.

    What brought you to get DirecTV?

    my stepdad got directv in 99. He went that route because he had a townhouse out of town for where he worked in addition to the house here. He installed the dish and bought(not leased back then) several receivers. Back then they also came with a round dish so he took one and mounted it on a pole...

    Automatic play of next episode, can it be turned off?

    been happening on my HR34 as well, and the bad thing is if season/episode data is missing it will stream the next episode even if it had it recorded! I've had that happen a couple times. If the S/E data is there it will play the recorded copy, but on those occasions it is not there it will...

    streaming instead of playing from recorded episode

    I just looked at the list and the season finale "The End Game" was recorded but had not S/E information listed. the streamed episode does have them listed so I guess that is why it did it??

    streaming instead of playing from recorded episode

    I'm catching up on CSI and when I deleted the next to last episode it came up with autoplay in x seconds. I let it play since we were going to watch the episode anyway, but to my surprise it started showing "preparing to playback" like it does when you stream. I check my router and sure enough...

    Genie Recorded Events out of order

    mine started doing it as well. it is like it is trying to sort by S/E in descending order instead of date recorded. And if an episode does not list S/E number it always goes to the bottom.

    Watch ESPN

    sorry, not Fox Go but Fox Now. I did not have the sports app loaded to my phone. But it is progress because just a few weeks before Christmas I was trying to catch an episode of Bones and it was still locked. Now shows are unlocked from just a couple days ago.

    The Wire HD

    get a Roku or other streaming device that supports the HBO GO app, then you can stream it direct. If HBO allowed DTV to stream it then most likely it would be there. Unfortunately that is not how it works all the time. I've noticed several series from various channels will have 1-2 fewer...

    The Wire HD

    many On Demand series only have a few episodes, how many and which ones are missing depends on what that network allows. usually it is the same ones that if you go to the network site you can stream direct, so if it is missing from one it usually missing from the other.

    Genies Have New NR - 0x0987

    anyone else seen the bug of it keeping more episodes than you want? My kids have a few shows on the genie that are set to keep at most 10 episodes. Yet they are showing 11 episodes in the list! Nothing has changed in how they are setup, before the NR it would just roll the oldest recorded show...

    Rumor Alert for 2015 Price Changes (Now CONFIRMED)

    they also no longer list select in the current packages on that link. Now Select choice is in the retired packages, does this mean if someone wants to downgrade to it they have to do so before the new rates go in effect? Or do you think DTV will come out with a new similar package? I have Choice...

    Rumor Alert for 2015 Price Changes (Now CONFIRMED)

    yeah it shows mine going to 2.14 too, which is why I asked. It lists Fox South(could have sworn it said SEC earlier) on my bill as my RSN, I have never watched that one. So I guess they better have an option to disable RSNs completely and keep the rest of the channels I watch, otherwise I am...
