    I'm still waiting for improvements on subtitles or closed captioning. The Genie missed out on several captioning while the rest of the receivers are flawless. Genie's captioning needs work and improvements. Please tend to it.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just last night, I was in the mood to watch something in 3D on my TV so I tried tuning to HDNet 3D channel. Then I noticed it's no longer there. Or has that channel moved? I remember it was in the channel 100's range. All I see now is the PPV one.

    That's why I complain that each year, it increases $3 for ALL TV service providers. People don't realize that even though it's "only" $3, in 10 years, your bill is $30 higher than 10 years ago. 10 years is NOT a long time.

    For the barn? It seems like you wouldn't need to connect to "whole home" thingy. I would suggest just getting a single LNB small dish and set it up at your barn. It eliminates the pain of worrying and trying to get everything working. You can even "self install" because you said NOT HD.

    I wish it's available right NOW. Could use one for my cottage. Signed up for mover's plan, expecting to have all my receivers connected here but idiot's work order included only the Genie, HR24 and one H25, not the rest I have. Apparently DirecTV assumed that that's all I'll have here and the...

    Where can I get a power supply for this AM21N? Solid Signal?
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I signed up for mover's plan but it didn't pan out as expected. I was expecting a technician to be prepared to install SWiM 16, change my LNB (currently single line) and be prepared for more than 5 receivers (HR44, HR24, H24 and 2 H25's). He showed up with the work order only for 3 receivers...

    Yeah, you're correct. Have a SWiM16 at this house. By the way, I've already got a Genie. So, I'm going to leave the Genie here and stick to the old way at the summer residence. Oh well.

    sigma1914, are you sure? Because in this house, where it was professionally installed, it's got the Genie, 2 HR24's and 1 H25 and it's connected by the DIRECTV SWM-8 Single Wire Multi-Switch (8 Channel) (SWM-8) and two SWS-8 acting as 16 tuners. The LNB here is just the SL3 with 4 cables...
  10. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So, are you all saying I'll have no choice but to make my home looking uglier by having 4 cables from the dish to multiswitch? If so, that means ordering a different LNB (one with four cables). I'm spoiled by just one cable running down from the dish to the multi-switch.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Need help with something. Wondering if this can be done. Got a SL5 single wire from dish to splitter. Worked for awhile now with just HR20, HR24, H24 and 2 H25. I've gotten rid of the HR20. Now, with a Genie, I'm getting the DIRECTV SWM-8 Single Wire Multi-Switch (8 Channel) (SWM-8). Can a...

    I'd love to watch a few more 3D content shows but unfortunately, none of them are either captioned or subtitled. 3NET has some interesting shows I'd like to watch but I only get to "watch" the pictures. :nono2:
  13. HD Locals
    I understand that DirecTV doesn't decide who our local stations are but is it Nielsen? They are pretty far off in determining our local NBC station. They gave us channel 10 NBC out of Rochester, which is much farther away than Syracuse's channel 3. Our local cable station provides WSTM...

    Living Room TV (old Samsung 46" LCD HDTV) - Genie, Bluray and AppleTV (got VCR on shelf but not hooked up). My audio receiver can do video set up but have not hooked the composite video cable to it. Bedroom's new 40" Samsung LED SmartTV - HR24 and standard DVD player (never used it anymore but...

    I've had experience with several CSR's that are totally clueless. Maybe I got one of them on my last call. I thought RVU runs off the Genie, thus it's getting signals from the Genie, not the satellite dish. It doesn't really matter. I can always ship the H25 back just to avoid getting an...

    Already had SWM-16 installed. As for any clients other than RVU enabled TV, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. In this house, I've got two HR24's, H25 and a new Genie. Of course, a Samsung RVU enabled TV.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My SWM-16 is located on the side of our house and we've had -37 degree weather here. All TV's work fine. You must have a problem with your cable.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    If you're eligible for a free upgrade, I'd suggest replacing one of your HR22 for a Genie.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't see it. Weather Nation isn't any better than The Weather Channel. I've given them a try and still don't see it. I want my TWC BACK!!!
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I already have HR24 connected to that TV. 3D won't work without it. Thought picture in picture would work but it won't (I meant by my TV). Oh well, I'll just ship the H24 that I got and have it break even. I'll wait until I see the bill because the CSR told me the bill will remain the same.
