  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I feel your pain. I went through almost the same thing over the last couple weeks. At some points it was infuriating dealing with DirecTV and how they wanted to charge me. I did get to a number of CSRs that really tried to help but ATT's system software ties their hands. One is that the...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    By combining my wireless, internet and directv on a combined bill, I ended up with a number of monthly discounts (probably around 50 per month) and unlimited data on all my wireless plan devices and unlimited data on my internet plus free HBO and some other perks.

    Maybe try buying an low priced old HR20 off ebay for the power supply and other parts

    Not sure if it changes if left on. Will have to try that overnight. Leaving on all the time isn't really practical for my setup. I'm using the RC73 remote to control both the C61K and the TV (power and volume) and when hit power off for TV it will turn off the C61K. Don't really want to have...

    Good thought. I think they're good but I'll temporarily move HR54 so it's right next to the C-61K and connected via a new 3 ft quad shield RG6 and wide band splitter. That should help to rule out the existing run of RG6 between the HR54 and C61K.

    It appears good on both ends. I have even tried a new Premium Certified HDMI cable (Monoprice) I had laying around and had the same issue. I might try using a different HDMI input on the TV to just to make sure that's not the cause. I've been watching Ch 104 for a little over an hour now and...

    You are not alone. See this thread. 4K resolution keeps unchecking!
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm having the same issue. 4K resolution keeps unchecking after turning the C-61K off for a period of time. (It's kind of funny...on my prior C-41, that would drop the 1080p resolution forcing me to the do the same thing to fix it...go to Display setting and add a check mark next to that 1080...

    It seems like it's very random. Sometimes can watch 104 for a long while and no black screen flashes. Other times, it flashes from few seconds to every few minutes then might go away for a while.

    I have a HR54 with a C-61K connected directly to my 4K TV (LG OLED C7) and get intermittent black screen flashes only on channel 104. The DirecTV 4k content is so underwhelming right now I'm not sure it's worth the time to figure out the issue as long as the problem stays limited to channel 104.

    I may be in a position where I may need to move my HR44 to a location where I do not have an ethernet connection. There are ethernet connections in the area of all other DirecTV boxes but just not where the HR44 might end up being moved to. Right now, the HR44 is in a location where I can plug...

    DirecTV NOW v. DirecTV satellite Which has has the better picture quality - DTV NOW or DTV satellite service?
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    When I read this thread I expected to hear go with HR54 because of better reliability/performance given all the negative things I have read about the HS17. Ignoring the differences in features between the two, would you GURUs say that the HR54 and the HS17 are now equal in terms of...

    Just a follow up on this issue. I have narrowed it down to the problem lying with the C-41 and suspect it's a software issue or how the C-41 is communicating with the HR44, which would be a software related issue as well. I concluded this by pulling my HR44 and dropped it in place where the...

    Does the C-61K connected to a 4K TV like the LG OLED C7 provide any picture quality improvement over the C-41 when viewing non-4K programming? Thanks
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a C41 mini and HR44, and after the GUI update last week I'm experiencing 20 to 45 seconds for display programing to appear after turning on the C41. I'd love to get 8 seconds now and hope I can get back to the 4-5 seconds. I know this is the HR54/C61K thread but any thoughts on how to...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Back in the day this was one really active forum and provided great solutions to issues with DirecTV equipment. Hoping the base here can help out with an issue I'm having. I posted in the ATT forums but no solutions so far. I have my C41 connected to my OLED55C7 and have an HR44 in our...

    Same CPU speed. 2 gigs memory but think might be faster bus speed. Big difference is the SSD. Very fast.

    Running Windows 7 64-bit on my new MacBook Air and it rocks! That machine is fast and thin.

    I like IE9 in a lot of ways but one thing I miss is the standalone search box. The combined box leaves things messy when you pull down the menu to see recent websites. Hopefully, someone will come up with a hack to bring back the standalone search box.
