Because you in particular have a habit of offering negative opinions based on your own biased theories of directv whatever they may be at the time.. and most of us don't want to hear about it anymore.

I bought one of these back in 2002 RCA CRT tv 38" with built in HD DirectV receiver. I paid an extra $7.00 a month for HD and received exactly 2 HD channels. Never had a problem with the receiver, of course when DirectV upgraded their HD receivers, I had to bypass the internal one. The TV if I'm not mistaken weighed close to 300lbs. Good picture though. 
I remember seeing those... it was in my early days and right when the ka birds went up.. so I was telling people that the needed an external box now.

Just got the RVU setup by directv today on my Samsung UN55HU8550. One issue is not many of the techs even know how to install these yet but finally figured it out so they need to do better in that regard. 2nd issue is charging 12.99 for a 2 day rental of a movie. That is ludicrous. Complaints aside the main reason I am here is for the picture quality vs what I was seeing with an hd box. With the HD box I was able to output everything at 1080i which looked great up-scaled on this 4k tv plus the menu and guide screens were very sharp. After switching to the RVU the picture is no longer near as sharp and the guide and menu pictures look really soft. I think it is forcing everything to 720p which does not upscale well to 4K. How can this be changed to feed everything as 1080i?
to Satelliteguys Joseph!I'm sure one of the techs that has done one of the 4k installs will chime in soon.
I have a 65 in mine.. Bed is about 10 feet away from the TV so it's not as insane as you might think. Probably 16 feet from the headboard to the TV mounted on the wall on the other side of the room.
Mine is set up that way too.
From headboard to TV is 13 ft ....
I have a 42" Pioneer Elite in there.
Don't need anything bigger as I only use it to watch the Tonight show or the end of the news.
What movie did you rent that was $12.99? Any PPV movie I've done was $6.99 for a 48 hour period.
When hitting the display setting it jumps right to the TVs display settings instead of offering anything on the Directv side. I thought it may also be doing the native signal of the particular channel but i know some broadcast in 1080i like CBS and HBO i believe. It is possible I could be getting a 1080i feed but I would think that would carry over into the guide if I were on a 1080i channel but that is definitely not the case as it is very soft looking compared to what it looked like with the HD box. Also the TV's info button is now being used for Directv purposes so I can't seem to get any info on the TV as to what type of resolution it is seeing incoming.
Hoping they come up with an update to force 1080i as the 4k upscaler does a lot better job with that than a 720p feed.

It was the last Transformers movie. I didn't actually rent it as i didn't want to pay 12.99 to rent something I've already seen.
Man this is turning out to be a bad experience. After getting the RVU setup and working yesterday on my Samsung UN55HU8550, it is no longer working today and keeps saying "This location is not authorized". Spoke with directv support and we tried some things like powering on and off the TV, unplugging the TV, unplugging the broadband deca and even resetting the main genie but nothing resolved the issue. They didn't seem to know much about it and someone with more experience is supposed to be calling me back later but wondering if anyone here has seen this before.
It was supposed to be 30 when all the information was coming out pre-launch date.... I wonder why they changed it.
jimbo,
My main tv watching is in my bedroom. The set is about 14' away.
Its actually perfect!!!
