That is EXACTLY what I need, thank you sir!

Folks...it looks like we're staying with DirecTV Stream. But we've got one issue that is a SUPER headache. It appears that it takes 14(!) punches on the remote to turn closed captioning on and off. I'm not much on voice commands, so is there way shortcut available on the remote to do this...

Well, it didn't even take two days. Better video, smoother interface, more channels, a DVR that WORKS. Yes, it's about $35 more a month. Big fat hairy deal. Cancelled YTTV and we're with DTV Stream. Thank you SO much, everyong!

I want to thank everyone here for graciously answering my questions! I started my five day trial today, I'll be working with both the Osprey box and the Roku app. If you don't see me for a while, it's because I'm busy learning about this stuff! At any rate, I'll certainly be back with a...

With tax, and I'm paying extra for NFL RedZone. The base rate is $72/mo.

If I wind up streaming through an app, it'll be through my Roku Ultra. But I see the DirecTV has two external streaming devices, one called a Gemini model C71KW which is an external box, and a newer one which is a dongle, called the Gemini Air. Does anyone know if there's a reason to pick one...

Including DirecTV Stream or DirecTV by Internet? With the possible exception of those two (that I've never seen) I'd agree.

What started my issues off was trying to watch Gilded Age on YTTV on Sunday night. The picture quality was nothing better than terrible. Switched over to MAX and it was somewhat better. Is there a thread around here where DirecTV satellite quality is compared to DirecTV Stream? I'd sure be...

That could be good news, I have two HR24s, both last fired up three years ago. I own one and the other is a lease that DirecTV said to keep. I will remember that, thank you! I'm also fortunate to have a local tech who still does DirecTV/Dish installs, just like in the old days. Perhaps he...

I've seen 720P in the professional arena and it can look wonderful. This wasn't a matter of resolution or just how many lines are on the screen. We're talking a complete lack of detail and blockiness in dark areas. And as for the Max app, it was certainly better, but not anywhere near the...

Can the HR54s still be had from DirecTV? I had one of those a few years back and liked it. If not, maybe I could pick up one off Ebay (assuming it can be authorized)?

I was just looking at FS1 on my YTTV setup this morning and couldn't help but notice how smeary the video was. This was on top of a miserable signal from HBO last night, where there was not detail WHATSOEVER in dark areas on the Gilded Age. Now I've had DirecTV, and Dish for that matter, off...

Thanks so much folks, it looks like my AM21/N boxes will work just fine in scan mode, as long as I choose the 44/54. I appreciate it!

Yes, we're looking at the original Genie, not the HS17 simply because it won't work with either OTA solution. I already have an AM21n, but had issues with the imcomplete database that would not receive all the local subchannels. I'd like to confirm the the LCC (when you can find it ;) )...

OK, let me clarify. I've learned a lot since the top post. ;) I'm in search of a DirecTV setup that will scan for local channels and insert them into the program guide. I now understand that the Genie 2 will not do this, as it will not accept either the AM21/N or the LCC. My old DirecTV...

The title says it all! ;) Back when I had DirecTV a decade ago, I had a pair of HR24s, each with its own AM21 over the air receiver. This way, I was able to record local HD and subchannels that DirecTV did not provide. Can the Genie still do the same thing? I still have the AM21s, or is...

It's been about eight years since I've had DirecTV and remember this same song and dance back then. Of course, when the prices went up in the second year it wasn't nearly as high as it is now. Is there any kind of rule/estimate/guess for how far off sticker they come in year three?

Thanks Theattguy, here we go! I've got a system with two receivers, both HR24s with OTA sidecars. The Living Room HR24 has the power inserter. The question is...can I switch out the BEDROOM HR24 with a Genie 2? My concern is that both boxes will be trying to send voltage back to the dish to...

What we have here are two conferences and two schools going to the extreme to "monetize" their product. They've discovered that people will pay to see what were, at one time, throwaway games. Given the pressure on university budgets in general, there's no doubt we have only seen the beginning...

Well, the bottom line has to be whether a service, be it cable, Dish, or Direct, has the programming that you want. It wouldn't surprise me that the day before the first game, DirecTV announces it will carry SEC, effective immediately. Those of us who have left will simply be denying Direct...

DirecTV doesn't have the SEC network and there's no sign that it's coming. One thing I always told folks shopping for satellite TV is that you never, ever, ever, buy a system based on promises. When DirecTV gets it, call me. Oh wait, I'll be in contract with Dish because DirecTV dragged its...

Well, I'm moving come July 17. If it's not signed by then, I'm gone to Dish or TWC and am not coming back. I'm really tired of screwing around with them and their refusal to carry the college networks. Now I'm sure the loss of my one account won't exactly put a spike through DirecTV :biggrin...

Well, I hope you're right. Maybe my search skills with DirecTV's alleged website just aren't up to snuff!

If you're still waiting, here's bad news on that front. https://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3303/kw/pac%2012%20network

I'd go up to $5.00, myself. But unless DirecTV pulls its head out and reclaims its lead in sports programming, this 15-year customer is history.
