Discounts/Equipment?

Good afternoon!

I've been a Directv customer for many years and I recently thought about swapping to streaming. I don't use Directv very much and mostly for watching sports. I've tried multiple streaming services and still don't like being behind with sports but also quality isn't as good as it is on Directv. I'm planning on calling in and getting some discounts and potentially some new equipment. May or may not want to sign a new 2 year agreement since I've been out of a contract for so long.

For my current equipment, I have one Genie Gen 3 (HR54-700) and one 4K Genie Mini (C61k-700) and my current bill is as follows:

Choice Package - $121.99
Directv Protection Plan - $8.99 (didn't even realize I had this and not sure I need it?)
Advanced Receiver - $25.00
TV Access Fee - 1 Client Subscription Service - $7.00 (Not sure what this is?)
Regional Sports Fee - $15.99
TV Access Fee - $7.00

Adjustments & Credits:
Combined Bill Discount - ($10.00)
Federal Cost Recovery Fee - $.014
Advanced Receiver Credit - ($2.00)
Tv Access Fee Free - ($7.00)
Sales Tax - $0.84

Total Directv Bill = $167.95

Questions:

Should I be paying for Directv Protection Plan?
What is the TV Access Fee for 1 Client Subscription Service?
What new receivers/equipment are available and is it worth it to upgrade? I don't believe I want the Gemini (I have apple tvs or Rokus on every TV already). Is the only way to get new free equipment is to sign another 2 year agreement? We currently have 8 tvs (most in basement) and I use the main Genie in our living room and the 4K Genie Mini for the main basement tv but as I mentioned, use a streaming box for everything else. Just curious if I should upgrade both of my receivers and if both would offer 4K.
Is there any other discounts I could expect to be offered when calling Directv? I usually do the annual loyalty dept call once my discounts roll off but curious what to expect.
Does Directv offer pausing service for some months out of the year?

Sorry about the lengthy post but I would greatly appreciate any feedback from anyone here. Thanks in advance!

Oh, and about the 2 year agreement, I believe you have to sign one to get new equipment. For Gemini, it's kind of complicated as it's a 2 year agreement if a tech is installing it for you, or a 1 year agreement if you're installing it yourself.
Also about the 4K, only the C61K can output 4K, so you would only be able to watch 4K in the basement (lol!). HS17 Genie 2 on the other hand can output 4K by itself to other clients, but only if those clients are C61K's, I believe.

Okay a couple things:
1) the client access fee a per receiver fee. You get one receiver free and each additional one is $7. That is why you see 2 $7 charges and then one of them removed as a $7 credit.
2) the protection plan is helpful if you have to have a truck roll (say your dish comes out of alignment or you want to move it). It was really great back in the day when DTV used to upgrade equipment regularly. I used it to get new upgraded boxes every couple years (unlike some folks in the community that have kept their boxes from 2007, I am less attached and prefer newer/faster). if you do opt to get replacement boxes, it will renew your 2 year agreement. the advantage is the boxes are free. It's also handy if you need a new remote - they'll send you new ones whenever.

IMO i would cancel the protection plan because DTV isn't really refreshing equipment much these days - the gemini is the first new thing in ages. If a box goes out, they'll replace it anyway and remotes are like $8/each on ebay or Solid Signal. Yeah you do incur a risk if you need a truck roll, but that's the case with any "insurance" plan.

If you don't really use DTV a lot (only for sports), you could probably go to the most basic plan and add on sports pack and save some money. You could also drop the extra Genie Mini and just use the DTV app on your Roku/appletv/firestick for the other 8 tvs in your home and save yourself $7 there too

Given that the HR54 already outputs 4K and you have a C61K that does 4K, there's no advantage of upgrading to the HS17 'server' unless you're looking to record A LOT of things simultaneously. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you. If you did move to the HS17, you'd then have to get rid of your HR54 and pick up another C61K, which would give you 3 pieces of DTV equip in your home (there is no extra $7 fee for the HS17 because it doesn't output video).

My personal opinion would be to hold steady with equip and talk to customer service about their basic package + sports pack pricing if all you care about is sports.

Thank you for the explanation on the receiver fee! I'll probably cancel the protection plan too.

Yeah, I watch Directv more during college football season and basketball season and the rest of the year, I probably could go with out. Most of the family uses other streaming apps to watch things. I'll look into the different plans combinations with the sport pack to see what that looks like.

Thanks for the breakdown on the equipment! I don't think my main receiver Genie Gen 3 (HR54-700) can output 4k. Believe I've tried to watch some of those 4k channels before and it wouldn't work but definitely woks on the genie mini. Upgrading to the HS17 doesn't seem worth it and would hate 3 pieces of equipment to move around.

Can you tell me more about the Gemini? It's not a receiver and still would have to be plugged into my equipment I already have? Just trying to figure out whats the real purpose and what you get outside of having your other streaming services apps built in.

Really appreciate the response!

You've framed the Gemini correctly. AFAIK (I have yet to get one) it's a C61K married with a streaming box.

As for the HR54 - it absolutely can support 4k. I had the HR44 before moving to the HS17 and that box supported 4k too. It might be a service issue or you might need your LNB swapped out to one that supports 4k. I'd call DTV to diagnose (maybe before you cancel the protection plan

)

The HR54 came out in 2015, before chips that could decode 4K were readily available. DirecTV did have 4K content on demand, but did not have 4K channels.
So was the HR44, which came out in 2013 before DirecTV even offered 4K content on demand.
I also can confirm a Slimline 3LNB supports 4K as on my Gemini the 4K channels come in just fine (minus the 4k not compatible, viewing in lower res message, which for me is normal)

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:

All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
- Independent of record too! Bonus.
MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
I'm out of ideas.

Cons

Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
- Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
Going to start resting players?
- The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
- Resting players could make games dumb.
- Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

This will be a SAD DAY when this passes ....

They complained the last year that we had a bunch of Blow Outs in the Playoffs ... heres an idea, lets Double the amount of teams and hope for Closer games ... ya right.

This never should have went past 8 teams, 10 at the most.

Now, I have heard that play in games are being talked about, such as #13 plays #24 and so forth, to cut the field down (why cut it down, just don't expand it.)
I'm not sure exactly how thats going to work out or if it was just someone talking.

They were also talking about starting the Season earlier ...

I really don't like the National Championship game being the end of January ... if the Semi Finals are over New Years, thats fine with the Championship game the next week.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.

Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...

NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system

I'm glad to see ...

According to the article, when you see a seat belt on a ride like this, it is basically used as a way of making sure the rider isn't too large/fat to safely ride the ride.

Heres an article from the Akron Beacon ... seeing Six Flags has bought Cedar Point and Kings Island, they are included ...
I said earlier that Cedar Point doesn't use this type of seat restraint ... well, it does use it, But the difference is, the ones up here ALSO have the Over the shoulder restraint as well ... like I was suggesting that they should have used with the Goliath.

One of the new(er) one at Cedar point the Gate Keeper, uses the Clam shell .. I have rode it many times and have Mostly felt secure, that ride will stop you part way on the ride and you just hang, till the ride is ready to continue ... I typically ride the Front Car ... when its getting ready, you ARE hanging, in the car, looking down .... it would require 2 separate restraint systems to unlock at the same time to possibly get out of it.

Hughesnet cancelling email addresses

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.

I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.

Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Doing a Google of the HughesNet Email notice, it seems that HughesNet has been trying to eliminate hosting emails since 2019. And with HughesNet filing Chapter 11 back in August, it would be a smart move to switch to a more stable Email provider. Even AT&T farmed out their Email to Yahoo! years ago.

SpaceX's Starlink and the Cellular 5G Home Internet solutions have pretty much relegated HughesNet and its high latency, low bandwidth Internet service to History. If Earth had shorter days, maybe a Geostationary Internet Solution might have stood a fighting chance…

OTHER Mini Multiswitch

I just received 6 receiver 2 port mini Multiswitch and it work great, no external power need it, and you can connect 6 receiver instead of 4 on most Mini Multiswitches... If anyone is interested in where they can get one PM me....

Have you tested using external power? Over the years, have found unpowered polarity switching to be unreliable. Especially problematic when used with DiSEqC motors or switch stacking.

No I have not. I just got it the other day and it is connected to six receivers working just fine. What I do is non power mini multi-switches work best with LNBF's and with LNB's

It also has a IPS and a OPS switch on the side of it with a power led light showing when is on. It seems to be very nice build switch

Site is slooooow

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Yeah. It's probably something going on with the MacBook as my iPhone has been pretty snappy.

I rebooted my MacBook Air and it's zipping right along. Sorry, but it was taking over 20 seconds to load pages, with the pulsing blue bars so it was munching on something.
