    Channel logos

    No they are not. That is one of the few drawbacks of Directv; the guide can be hard to read with just gibberish for many channel names. They tested them a few years ago. I thought it was great. People complained in the tests and limited run it had. I have no idea why people didn't like them!

    Check Your Picture Quality?

    Glad I am not the only one. My TV/Denon/Directv situation creates this message occasionally as well. However, occasionally when it does this, it is because the TV or something changed the resolution and the HR44 (in my case) has been set back to only show SD channels (480i is the only one...

    Can a Winegard Carryout G3 get any DirecTV HD channels at all?

    There are 5 channels on the 101 now that are HD... MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News are 3 of them and I can't remember the other 2.

    Just returned to DirecTV satellite

    How do I do that? Start my own internet service company? I only have 1 choice, Comcast. I am at the end of the line, on ancient Adelphia lines. Most people do not have choices for things like internet and electricity. It is supposedly 200 mbps but if it gets to 100, that's a good day. Most days...

    Just returned to DirecTV satellite

    Spot on. I can't stand all the clicking scrolling and spinning circles. I DREAD Sunday Ticket going to this sub-par, inferior system.

    anyone else having issues watching AXS TV (channel is pixelating & glitching out).

    I have watched it for a while now and haven't seen any glitches. HD picture, DD 5.1 sound

    first time ever seeing this error message....

    Are you missing recorded episodes in your list, but are binge watching something? Sometimes, if you're watching a bunch of stuff from the DVR, but, say S3E10 didn't record for whatever reason, it will automatically play the missing episode from on-demand instead of skipping it. But you have to...

    Directv & Virgin Islands

    Fun fact: you can see all of the PR channels easily on the weekly channel updates they post on the ce site. All PR channels appear as DMA 213.

    Directv & Virgin Islands

    Incorrect! Directv in the Virgin Islands is part of Directv Puerto Rico which is neither our Directv nor Directv Latin America. The PR signals are no longer on a separate satellite, all of the PR/VI channels are spotbeamed to PR from our satellites. All channels have different numbers in PR/VI...

    Can a Genie 1 still receive over the air broadcasts?

    Kinda... When you look at a local, the Directv provided local will just show 3 WCAX. The OTA channel will show as 3-1 WCAXDT (i don't have the duplicates in my favorites list). Subchannels that match the database will always be in the 3-2 WCAXDT2 format, but those not in the database show as...

    Can a Genie 1 still receive over the air broadcasts?

    This is what the guide looks like with a HR44 and AM21 and partial database matches. There is also a 3-7 This TV.

    Can a Genie 1 still receive over the air broadcasts?

    1. If you still use HR24 (or any HR2x) receiver, those receivers are limited to what is in the database and will only show those channels. 2. If you use a "normal" Genie, HR44 or HR54, it will scan for all the channels you can receive OTA. However, only the ones with a match in the database will...

    Equipment / HD Fees

    Sorry for the delay, I didn't see the notification for this. I pay $84.99 for Xtra with a promo.

    Equipment / HD Fees

    Thank you for the break down. I knew it was the same at the end of the day, but I didn't know how it all played out. I have $13 for receiver fees and free first TV, as long as I stay above whatever the middle package is now. I still have Xtra or the one like it that is not available anymore. If...

    Equipment / HD Fees

    Newer customers do not have a $10 HD fee, $10 DVR fee, or $3 MRV fee, they have a general "advanced receiver fee" that includes it all, but I am not sure how much that is. Mine is still in the 10-10-3 system, too, but I had a fee HD for life promo when I signed up and it is still honored so the...

    Two questions...

    I don't mean to resurrect an old thread, (please don't stone me!) but to put a final seal on this, there is 100% NO 3D content on Directv anymore. According to our guides, and more importantly the uplink data posted on the CE site every week, there hasn't been 3D content on Directv in years. I...

    Glitchy Bloomberg video channel 353

    I checked 353 and I see what you mean. It looks like when you're trying to stream something but it's just not working. Hard to explain... almost delayed and jumpy? I would contact Bloomberg and tell them to have Directv fix it, Directv's people who deal with us are clueless. Last year, there...

    Sub channels with no program info, tuned via LCC

    Ok, here's what you can do... go to the "sat and antenna" setup, and re-do the set-up. Where it asks for a secondary zip code, enter 73102. That is Oklahoma City. They have a 62-1 through 62-6 in the database. You will even have guide data for the ion and Bounce affiliates in your market, but...

    Sub channels with no program info, tuned via LCC

    You can add a secondary zip of a market that does have guide data for those subchannels. The guide data will be wrong, but you will have something in the guide to select. What market are you in?

    PBS location

    Before you have them come out, you should contact the local station and see if they are having trouble with their feed sent to Directv. That is probably the case and the tech will be able to do nothing.

    Wondering if it is possible to get 119W or 110W with 18" dish?

    Right, it WOULD work just fine, but there is nothing there to look for anymore, just a few spotbeamed SD MPEG2 locals on 119. If he wanted to look for the stuff that USED to be on 119, I am not sure that a round dish would work because that stuff is all MPEG4 now, either MPEG4 SD on 103, and...

    Wondering if it is possible to get 119W or 110W with 18" dish?

    Correct. I don't even know if he could do it for hobby cuz there is no way to confirm is there? I still have a 5LNB dish because I have the Directv Deportes pack and I had my installation a long time ago. The only hint of 119 is channel 9513 "Satellite test channel 119 odd" and 9514 "...119...

    Wondering if it is possible to get 119W or 110W with 18" dish?

    There is nothing on 110 and 119 has just a very very very few locals in SD like you said. PR is treated like its own DMA now and everything that goes to there is spotbeamed in from 101/103/99. You will not get anything for PR unless you are in FL, PR, VI or the Caribbean, and then it requires a...
