    Thanks for posting, after the NFL season ends on Jan 3rd, I'm canceling after nearly 20 years. Going to suck next year with no way to legally watch my Jets but m promos ended and these turkeys want $181 a month for 2 boxes and the NFL package. The NFL would be wise to divorce it self from DTV as...

    I want to drop DTV but waiting on what NFL streaming options are coming, it appears though there won't be any mass market streaming offered for 2019. The way I see it is that DTVNOW can't offer the NFL Steaming package as people will only sign up for the season and then go back to other cheaper...

    This is what my night typically looks like... It will play like this for 5 minutes, then either fix itself or crash, which sucks when watching live tv...

    Another update. Boxes lose connection on avg 5 times a day. Sometimes when you hit pause, the screen saver kicks on but it's playing and you can hear the audio. Sometimes it will un-pause itself after only a few minutes. Many times when you hit list, it locks itself but continues to play in the...

    I canceled my auto renew this year, I've had ST for at least 10+ years, I'm completely over it. With sling box at parents house for Jets games, redzone channel on a streaming service, MNF, TNF, England games, broadcast games, I'm not missing much. DTV is crazy to raise the price, they should cut...

    Update. Power went out last night, now bedroom box won't work again, tried everything. Also the living room remote barely works anymore, you have to press the buttons twice often time. Remember in the old days the boxes were so bad when you tried to type in a channel number and you could not do...

    Nope, I don't hold them down.

    I honestly don't remember what I paid for it, it's a couple years old, they were giving them away around Christmas, I think it was $49. The new ones cost more, but they are far cheaper in the long run than paying the fees on these DTV boxes made from used VCR parts.

    Update: About 4-5 times a day, when FF or RR it will skip all the way to the end or beginning. It's so annoying. Did it during the super bowl twice. I can't figure out why. The older remotes are such an upgrade, so glad I went back. Besides that an the gigantic black bars, everything is ok at...

    IMHO Thursday night football destroyed fantasy football. My league folded after ten years and I personally believe TNF made fantasy less fun because you now had to work your lineup on Wed rather than when waivers would run on Thursday at midnight. I also agree TNF over exposed the NFL and is...

    Update. New box showed up yesterday, hooked it, go thru the setup steps, easy stuff, then it comes to the screen where it says pick which room to replace, I chose the correct room and boom, dead end, it won't let me do anything without calling DTV. So I call, 1st guy after 45 minutes could not...

    Due to a growing family I had to move my tv to the one spot in the house that it's really difficult to get hard wired, it would require drilling thru concrete twice, thus this wireless system was the path of least resistance. The manual to the genie states something along the lines of not having...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Update: Prior to the software update my upstairs box would keep cutting out, it's impossible to watch, every 20 seconds the box stops and says connecting. So now I'm sitting in my bed with the flu with no way to watch tv and every morning the baby can't watch Mickey Mouse. I tried these with...

    I'm tired of calling every year asking why I have to pay even more money for the Max, and they give it to me for free. I already spend a fortune and have done so for 12 years, why the games? Drop the price 50% and throw in the max and I may come back. Then again, the NFL seems to think all of...

    I called DTV today, they tell me there is no standalone RZC? Is that accurate? My plan is to go to a standalone RZC and a sling box for Jets games. I don't think it's hype to say this off season is going to extremely painful for DTV and the NFL. Who knows maybe come Aug they offer an insane...

    Some more gems I discovered.. Pandora will crash the box over and over.. Someone thought having the menu button much larger than the guide button is a good idea, the guide button is so hard to hit while the menu button while you rarely use is center and big. So dumb. My wife now gets to hear...

    Red zone and fantasy channels are black on my end.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I switched to the G2 to accommodate moving my tv around the house due to a baby, I completely regret it. This is a half backed, old, stale, cheap, half-assed waste of time of a product. DTV should be embarrassed with this thing. Power came back on from the storm, main tv works fine, upstairs...

    The old remote is superior in every way, including the basics such as the friction texture on the back and the buttons. They took my old remotes when they installed the Genie 2, can I buy my own old DTV remotes and use them? Will I lose any functionality? Thanks for any help.

    ESPN has one massive problem on their hand and it starts with football and basketball at smaller colleges. You'll see schools offer their own streaming package on Apple TV and cut ESPN out of the equation. From there the larger schools will take note as contracts expire. This is the music...
