I am NOT new to satellite TV. For the past 10 years I had Dish and Direct, and switched back and forth. Every time I switched I got each company's new generation hardware (which was my main reason for switching). As a very experience Hardware and Software Design EE I have no doubt that the...

Because their software sucks, cannot wait to switch to Dish! https://forums.att.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&q=skips to end or the beginning of the recording&location=category:directv&collapse_discussion=true

There is nothing wrong with the remote! Its a faulty Directv software.

Jimbo, I know how to use this stupid remote. I also know that if you want to jump to the end or the beginning of the recording you have to hold down the button for at least 4 second, that is not what I am doing when I want to skip 30 sec at a time. This problem existed for many years and was...

Chris, nice find, contrary to all the "experts". It doesn't make sense but it does work, the Mini stays ON! BTW, it looks like it works the same way on the HR54. Unfortunately, the crappy LG TV goes back. BTW, one of the HDMI inputs just died on the TV and it is only 2 weeks old, great...

I posted about one of my problems here which apparently existed for many years and Directv is not wiling or capable of fixing it. When pressing the Skip forward and back, almost on a daily basis (I don't watch any live TV with commercials), the recording will skip to the end or the beginning...

I signed about a year and a half ago and the promotion was $50 for 24 months. The bill always said that the promotion will end after the 12 month but I am still paying only $50 a month. Unfortunately, I hate their service (lots of problems with no solutions), when the contract ends I am...

Thanks, I already figured that out. I like the remote to be setup in RF mode.

No one said anything about this crappy LG TV, anyway it goes back to Costco.

I know that I can do that with the TV remote. I got a new 65" LG which is a piece of JUNK. It take 30 second for the picture to appear on the screen if I turn on the TV and the Directv at the same time, LG of course blames Directv. I have another 65" Samsung and the picture appears within...

How do I setup the RC73 remote to turn on/off ONLY the TV without turning on/off my Mini Genie. I don't want my Mini Genie to turn off, I want it to stay ON all the time!

I don't know of hand my software version but the problem existed for the past year and I am sure the software has been updated several times since then. It happens only on the client, C41 AND C51, its totally random and it happens almost every other day. I can't wait to switch back to Dish, 11...

Hi, I have the HR54 and a couple of C41/C51. On the C41/51 when pressing multiple times the skip button (to skip commercials) periodically they will skip to the End or the Beginning of the recording. This is NOT a new problem, any way to fix this (I did try to reset them and it didn't help)...

Yes, it was me, I was unable to switch to skip unless I had a space between the 30 and skip. Now I am still unable to switch it back to slip with or without the space.

My problem is that I CANNOT switch now back to 30slip.

I dont understand, when did yours disappear, when you had 30skip or 30slip? Mine apparently disappear after I switched from 30slip which was the default to 30skip. My problem is that for some reason I am unable to change it now back to 30slip!

Let me clarify one thing, I lost the horizontal scroll bar about the same time I changed the 30Slip to 30Skip. I don't know if this was a coincident or a result of changing the 30Slip to 30Skip. As I mentioned in another post, for some reason I cannot change the 30Skip back to 30Slip so I am...

Well, obviously there are some differences between all these software versions. I really don't care that I cannot switch back to 30slip, I like the 30skip better. My problem now is that I lost the scroll bar on the client and I don't know if this a result of me changing the 30slip to 30 skip...

Jimbo, I am not a newbie, rebooting was the 1st thing I tried (actually tried it a couple of different times). This is my 3rd 2 year contract with them, I switch every 2 years and I have had all of their Genies by now. texasbrit, what is your HR54 software version? My HR54-500 software is...

As I said, I have done that several time before on the HR34 and HR44. I was always able to switch it back and forth and the keyword was 30skip & 30slip without any space. Now on the HR54 it worked only with a space between the 30 & skip but it wouldn't switch back to 30 slip with or without...

Now I am trying to switch back from "30 Skip" to "30 Slip" and nothing works to switch it back, any suggestions?

Last week I lost the horizontal scroll bar on the client when 30 second Advance, the video advances 30 second but NO scroll bar. I called tech support and they could not duplicate the problem on their client. Pressing the Fast Forward it does display the scroll bar fine. Does anyone else have...

OK, searching for 30SKIP didn't work but 30 SKIP (with a space) works!

I am familiar how to change the 30SLIP to 30SKIP on older receivers, I have done it several time before. For some reason it doesn't work on my brand new HR54, any ideas?

OK, I figured it out, Directv technical support don't know what they are talking about. You go to, Settings --> Whole-Home --> Manage Clients --> Copy Settings If you want to copy the Favorite from the Genie to the Client you do it at the Client. If you want to copy the Favorite from the Client...
