    Deals for long term customers?

    I'm a 18 year customer, and in the past it's been fairly easy to get at least a 12 month $50 discount plus shortterm additional programming. This year has been anything but that. I called last month and spoke to the loyalty department. The rep sounded lost from the beginning, so I should've...

    New Switch To SD Feature Added During Bad Weather

    Experienced this today. Rained and my Genie asked if I’d like to switch to SD, and I have show duplicates turned off.

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

    I just pushed 114B for my HR54/700. It’s a weeknight, so is that the latest NR? It’s 6:20am EST here.

    Retention offer.

    Just called today. Received a $60/month discount on Choice Extra for 12 months, 1/2 price on the Movies Extra Pack for 3 months, and they threw in the Sports Pack for a free 6 months. I'm happy.

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

    Agreed. I liked the old way better because it allowed me to pick and choose different episodes of a series.

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

    I basically like the new GUI except for one nagging little thing. With the old interface, when you selected "Other Showings" for an episode of a series, you would see a list of showings for ALL the upcoming episodes of that series rather than just the one episode you are viewing. With the new...

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

    I received 1104 August 8th. So far no major problems. Blue line driving me bonkers.

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

    I’ve never had problems with my HR54/700, other than minor issues which a reboot resolved. I received the 1104 rollout this morning. So far no noticeable difference in performance from 1138, which worked fine. New font size and blue line will take getting used to, but seems to be pretty fast...

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

    Thanks for the reply. I get the all channels on recordings too. Guess that's part of the new menu. I updated to 1037 last night, and this morning I did start to get upcoming recordings, only now some episodes are being skipped. Maybe it's the network program data that's the problem? I'll...

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

    Anyone having trouble setting series recordings since the update? I’ve tried and only the first episode is recorded, then no upcoming episodes are scheduled. I’ve tried setting it to FIRST RUN and ALL but same thing happens, no upcoming episodes are scheduled. I’ve gone through this thread but...

    HR54-700, Pandora and Whole-home DVR issues

    Starting last week, my HR54-700 Genie will no longer play Pandora. I'm told to select a station, but when I do it loops right back to the select a station message. Restarting the DVR hasn't helped. The software is 0xd80 updated on 9/19. Another issue I'm having is that I can't fast-forward...

    Sound problems HR24

    I have the drops when I record on demand programs, doesn't matter what receiver. Two one second drops, back to back, about every minute. Annoying as hell. Turning of Dolby does stop it, but I shouldn't have to do that. I've read online complaints to directv in forums for months. All they say is...

    Having on demand trouble

    I tried to download three episodes of Boardwalk Empire Friday night, and Saturday morning the list showed pending. I deleted them and downloaded again and all went well except for consistent second long double sound drops every minute throughout all recordings. Drove me crazy so I deleted and...

    Reelz (238) and Ovation (274) HD coming (now launched)

    Sundance is what I'm waiting for. Several good series on there I have to watch in SD or wait until they are on Netflix in HD. Anyone know what's holding that one up, other than pricing?

    I'm going back to cable

    I've had my dish "tweaked to perfection" more than once, but when those severe rain storms roll up the Ohio River Valley, signal outages will happen. Snow storms? That's a different story. I cannot remember ever losing a signal in any snow storm, even with the entire dish covered in several...

    The Weather Channel and DirecTV Reach Deal!

    If they're going to call themselves a weather channel, they shouldn't be showing reality shows at all.

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    TWC is crap. They're more concerned about their alarmist agenda than giving accurate weather. And if I never see Al Roker again it will be too soon.

    Guide white triangle

    Lol. I almost started a thread about this today without searching, but better judgement prevailed. No one on here means to belittle anyone, it's just that there are bigger bugs up certain bungholes than others. :D

    Fees?

    I looked at my bill today. I have 3 HD-DVRs and one HD receiver. I'm charged $10 Advanced Receiver-HD, $10 Advanced Receiver-DVR, and $3 Whole Home. I'm also charged $6 each for 4 TVs minus a $6 credit for the primary TV (total $18 for 4 TVs). I'm getting no credit for auto-pay it seems. I...
