    Thanks for all the replies! I will try a reset. Have a great day
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just got an HR54-200. When I fast forward a live program, it shows the video in fast forward or reverse. When I fast forward a recorded program, no video is shown. I have an HR24-200, and it shows video on fast forward of recorded program. Is the HR54 working as intended on fast forward of...

    Thanks for all the replies and education. You can teach old men new stuff

    I guess my age is showing. I apologize for confusion. AT&T replaced my HR44-200 (setup in 2016) with a HR54-500. It was a refurb with a lot of cosmetic damage. I requested a replacement which was a HR54-700.

    Thanks for the reply ;-) I guess it makes sense, because my Sony PS4 only has HDMI. Why is there a Digital Audio Out - Coaxial and Optical? There are no component outputs, but there is a Mini Din for composite out. Very confusing. AT&T sent me an HR54-700 which only has a TOS-Link out. Would...

    I just replaced my HR44-200 with a HR54-500. To get Dolby 5.1, do I need to use Digital Audio connection to my AVR or will the HDMI cable connected to the AVR provide surround sound from the DirecTV receiver? Thanks for the assistance!

    Thanks for the information :-) Accuweather HD is indeed on 361 for the Select Pkg. I checked "Channels I Get", but I guess I overlooked it.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was reviewing the various DirecTV Packages, Directv.com. I have the Select Package, but it appears Accuweather is not in my package. I thought maybe one of the forum members would know which package contains Accuweather HD? I am trying avoid calling DirecTV to find out. I don't think AT&T is...

    The CC shows weird characters on the Genie, HR44. I have an HR24 HD DVR, and the CC works great on all channels. Both TVs are connected via HDMI cables.

    No Media Share or YouTube on my HR44 after the 06/16/ 2015 update. No YouTube on my HR24 but MediaShare still works.

    I have two HR24s, and I have never experienced The Weather Channel response problem mentioned. Could it be your internet connection is slow?

    As I mentioned above, 19 years with D* (October 30, 1994); my account number is six digits, 14xxxx. In my area of Georgia, I have the options of Charter, AT&T Uverse, Verizon, and Dish. I prefer D*. I started with equipment which costs more than all the D* stuff I currently have.

    Prime Star / DirecTV October, 1994. Original equipment was purchased from Circuit City.

    Thanks for the replies. I think it is weird that Power Saver is activated based on the remote. I guess I will turn the feature off.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Many times when I am reading or working on the PC, I select Sonic Tap or Pandora for background music. After 4 hours, the Power Saver shuts down the HR24-100 v x66D. I think it strange that D* would ignore either music source in deciding if there was activity. My PCs do not sleep or hibernate if...

    For what it is worth, I have not had a protection plan since 1994. Why? If my equipment does not work, then I do not need D*. It's that simple. I guess it is the advantage of having multiple media providers in my particular area, and the fact D* prefers the revenue from my subscription for their...

    You got to be smoking something funny if you believe that. You must have broad shoulders and the ability to grin and bare it when you post and opinion at dbstalk. The forum can be very helpful and supportive for tech stuff, but don't ever let an opinion slip out. Because you will be pounced into...

    Buy and antenna and cancel D*. In my area we have over 80 channels, so I'm sure you should have a few.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    What are Charter, Comcast, Dish, and AT&T Uverses' BBB ratings? Some people can complain about anything. I give D* an A++.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I did the same. It would be great if we had a cafeteria plan. I dislike paying for channels like OWN, LOGO, and others I never watch.
