DIRECTV 4K Service Down

[JamesIslandJeff]

I am being told by DIRECTV that all 4K service is down due to a software glitch. I am receiving a message that it is not authorized in your area. Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, any recorded 4k programming will not play either, same message.

Don't see anyone else reporting this...

I haven't heard anything about this either.

 

[texasbrit]

Sounds like a CSR excuse to get you off the phone....

I am not home to check my 4K.

You may have it in now but if you reboot your genie you may not be able to see it so beware I was getting it he fixed my C61k-700 and then it didnt work so I have to wait till at least Monday or maybe longer but hopefully before that

I purchased a new 4K TV 2 weeks ago. DirecTV came out, upgraded the DVR, it worked for about 4 hours, a software update came in and it has been down since!

I'm assuming you have either the premiere or ultimate programming package, yes?

 

[texasbrit]

A software update for what? What release number, and what date shows on the release?

I actually had to reboot that day because my genie froze up on me, and it was ok after reboot.

There's apparently been no update to cause this, I still think the OP is being fed a load of BS on this one...
Several people have now reported they have rebooted with no issues...

I will eat crow on this one.. I rebooted my C61K this afternoon and am now getting a location, not authorized message only on 4K content. Resending authorization has not corrected the issue... Uggh..

 

[texasbrit]

I'll eat crow also, but there's been no C61K update as far as I can tell. Maybe it's some sort of guide data issue??

The last software update I got on mine was back in August. I am unsure if there is a way to force a client to update its software like you can on the genes or standard HD receivers.

 

[texasbrit]

No, you can't force an update on the clients.
