    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Update: Nothing has changed but there has been more tech support involved including a in-person tech. A DTV tech was at the house yesterday to fix a grounding issue and he was also unable to get the app working. He downloaded new DVR software, spoke with Mobile DVR tech, and still couldn't get...

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Yes, I've rebooted the phone, modem, and DVR. Nothing has changed since rebooting. Every other aspect of the app works fine. I can stream live on my phone. I can use the remote. I can schedule things on the app to be recorded. However it will not connect to the DVR and allow me to watch the...

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Any other suggestions? I'm pretty much stumped. Everything else about the service is working perfectly including the other aspects of the app. It's just registering the phone that still won't work.

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Reporting back three days after new Directv install. Unfortunately I'm in the same place. I can't connect via the app and the DVR is still showing the same 'Mobile DVR' messages that I posted on Saturday. Also, I don't see anywhere in the app playlist where I can 'run an additional mobile dvr...

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Ah! Thanks for that information. I'm 24 hours in and will report back in a couple days with results. Sometimes trying to get ahead of the game isn't all it's cracked up to be... :) Phil

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Hi and thanks for replying. No, my Galaxy S7 is not showing up. Just tried to reconnect again with no luck. Also, this is a recent install...as in yesterday. Everything about the install is working perfectly except this app feature. Here are the 3 things that show up under the category...

    Wired Genie DVR won't connect to Android Directv App

    Hey Gang, Has anyone found anything that will allow my Android (Samsung Galaxy S7) using the Diretv app to connect to my wired, Directv Genie DVR? The DVR is connected via ethernet cable directly to my ATT Fiber Internet router. The DVR is showing that it is successfully connected to the...

    crazy error 775 problems...with solution...asking for advice though

    Thanks for the reply. While I had the tech folks on the phone I reset the inserter several times. At first, I unplugged it for about one minute. I let the light go out fully and then plugged it in again. As the tech call continued and we did different things but eventually we went back to...

    crazy error 775 problems...with solution...asking for advice though

    Yes, the update is that on Sunday morning I turned on the TV and everything was still operating fine (from when I got it working again on Friday). So, I called customer service and spoke with them in detail about the situation. Basically they encouraged me to cancel the tech visit - and I did...

    crazy error 775 problems...with solution...asking for advice though

    Hey Chip, I totally get the point you're making and I agree if my existing equipment is ok. What I'm really asking is if anyone has had this similar issue before and if this SWM/power inserter is on the way out. As of right now everything is working with no error messages. But, if anyone...

    crazy error 775 problems...with solution...asking for advice though

    Hey Gang, Yesterday morning I had perfect service. In fact, I've had this particular dish (slimline 17), receiver (HR 24) setup for a tad over 4 years with virtually ZERO interruption of service. However when I turned both tvs on last night I received error 775. None of the receivers or...

    Directv subscribers subject to collateral damage from Dish/Fox stalemate

    Did you not read the original post?!?!?!:mad: Sorry, just being a jackass. :D I'm in Atlanta. Down here neither the Thrashers or Hawks televise all their games. It's more common than you might think. A LOT of NHL and NBA miss a few games here and there.

    Directv subscribers subject to collateral damage from Dish/Fox stalemate

    DodgerKing, what you said is not always true. When your local team is being broadcast on a local station or RSN, then yes, the away team feed IS blacked out. However, when your local team is NOT broadcasting the game the opposing team's feed should be available. I've had Center Ice for years...

    Directv subscribers subject to collateral damage from Dish/Fox stalemate

    Honestly, I hope you are right and that Tuesday's black out was just a start-of-the-season foul up. However, I've dealt with this person (at Fox) a few times over the past few years and they've been spot on with each piece of information I've ever gotten.

    Directv subscribers subject to collateral damage from Dish/Fox stalemate

    Hey Folks, I have some news to pass on and would like some advice or explanations from some of the senior members on here that have more knowledge about transmission/black out policies. Last week I switched over from Dish to Directv. So far, so good. I did this primarily because of the Fox...

    Possibly moving to D* from E* and need some info/advice

    Jimbo, regarding the EA question, it's not a matter of D* needing another arc. It's a matter of ME needing another LOS option if I want to go with D*. :D As of now, I don't have a clear LOS for D*.

    Possibly moving to D* from E* and need some info/advice

    Hi D* gang, I'm currently with E* but may be jumping to D* for sports packaging. I'm wondering a few things and hoping you guys can help me out. Does D* have an Eastern Arc like E*? I'm just concerned that I may not have LOS to the SW. If D* has other LOS options please let me know. I'd be...
