    HR34 (Genie) Responsiveness compared to HR24

    I went from having HR24s and H24s to having a "Genie" and 3 C31s and they all seem to work just fine here so far. I havent noticed any speed change between anything on my new system that would seem slower than my old HR24s and such. Although the first couple days there were lags and such but...

    What is DIRECTV's new GENIE?

    Just wanted to throw a little something in about the new Genie and such setups. When dad passed away I had to close his account and get a new account and return our 3 HR24's and two H24's... Even with not so good credit they gave me an HR34 (Genie) and 3 clients plus one SD box for the spare...

    Non compliant cable...

    In my home I have 5 recievers... 3 DVRS , 1 HD, 1 standard (about to be upgraded) . Been having trouble using whole home dvr if you try to play remotely in one of the bedrooms or from the same all because the installer did not change out some small gauge old garbage cable that was strung thru...

    TV Apps overhaul

    That was my thought exactly. I used to use the NOAA app all the time as it was nice to have it there when I needed a quick look at the radar or a better daily forecast than the "cheap" weather channel app which is garbage IMHO. Here's for getting the apps back and for getting even more instead...

    Questions about setting up DTV dish on my own

    What he said ^^^^^ Getting a signal even started is tricky tricky and if there is no signal it will appear as if there is no dish installed at all... Even itty bitty movements of the dish can move it out of signal all together, it will take alot of time and patience till you catch the...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    Ok, but Viacom made Directv remove the channels forcefully because D* did not want to have to raise your bill (Much) so they are trying to get the consumer a better deal on the programming. D* didn't take the channels off to get the consumer involved, they took them off because Viacom wanted...

    New Direct TV sub, and picture quality is less than expected

    Might just be in yer head? Im honestly not trying to insult you or anything, that's the last thing I would do. However that is just not the case... The picture on all my HD tvs and boxes are always great and sharp, assuming the station and show are in 1080 and filmed right. Some channels...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    Had to drag myself off the bed and jump back on real quick to say... Youns realize why V* is even telling people to ask for the perks from D*... They are trying to cost D* as much money as possible. This will eventually negate the efforts to save people money on their bill when they have...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    My kids love the Disney channels. And I like them because the cartoons they play mostly are decent and don't put weird ideas into my kids head... I do love the fact that Cox is coming out on the side of a rival. Just goes to show how rediculous it is and that in America even companies will...

    Slimline 3 SWM Missing transponders and a bird.

    Yea, I went out and tried hashing it out for an hour while the wife watched the signal meter. Even tried ignoring the good transponders and tried just to get the zeros to go away to no avail... But then again, how is today any different than any other day? As if it was gonna be easy haha

    G4 trying a new tactic?

    I think more than half of D* subs would say, "Whats G4? Isn't that when all those presidents get together to talk about the war?"
