  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I can't agree with this. A satellite company that sees one of its precious few satellites fail will be negatively impacted. It's sounding like DTV is being forced to shift some of D14's capacity to functions previously handled by D10. Which constrains DTV's ability to use D14 for new purposes...
  2. DIRECTV Connected Home
    My issue is now fixed. The problem was that, after installing and reinstalling the app, I still named my iPad "Chilcoot's iPad" within the app. Changing it to "Chilcoot's iPad Air" allowed it to activate the GenieGo and yielded full functionality. The tech rep also told me that I could get rid...

    Directv Support called me back today. They said that a new GenieGo software update relased Monday should fix my problem of being unable to get my iPad app to access DVR content via GenieGo. I'll post what I find. Note that I don't know what software version I had before Monday's update.
  4. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Two minute reset did nothing to clear up my problem activating GenieGo2 on my iPad Air (iOS8.1, latest Directv for iPad app). No error code, nothing, just an endless "Activating your GenieGo . . ." message. The GenieGo software on my wifi Win7 machine works great, but that's not why I bought my...

    Same issue here. Deleted the app from my iPad to clear out ghost programs deleted from my DVRs long ago. I can connect to the GenieGo over wifi via my Win7 PC, but not via my ioS 8.1 iPad. Just stuck at the "Activating your GenieGo..." screen. Spent two hours with Directv tech support today to...
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    You and I are going to need to agree to disagree. I watched HNIC on CBC weekly for years and found every aspect of their productions, including the intermission stuff, absolutely fantastic, among the best--produced television I've ever seen. Week in week out, the Hotstove segment between the...

    Same here. Audio was very bizarre during the game, wildly inconsistent. Never heard Jeff Marek (sp?) once. Commercial audio was messed too. Sometimes we could hear a commercial's musical background but not the guy reading the ad copy. Really, really weird problem.

    To be exact, the switch at 10:01P ET to the 9:30P ET Calgary-Edmonton game with with 3:56 remaining in overtime and the clock running in the Montreal-Washington game. 14:18 remained in the first period of the Calgary game, with Calgary up 2-0 and the Oilers carrying the puck. DTV/NHLCI needs to...

    I bought NHLCI to record and watch the Calgary Flames an hour or two later. Having to wait for a 1-1 game in Washington with 8 minutes in regulation left to end before they switch to the Flames game doesn't work for me. Most years NHLCI improves. This, however, is a big step backwards.
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    I strongly disagree. There is no "best matchup" in October, or November, or February, or even early March. The NHL regular season is so meaningless. The good teams all make it, as do the mediocre teams. Only the subpar and truly bad teams don't make it. Most everyone in this thread has HNIC...

    I too am seeing long-deleted shows on my Directv App for iPad, in the playlist on my DVR. Ghost shows. When I try to delete them from the DVR via the app, I get: Delete Error The operation couldn't be completed. (PlaylistManagerDeleteRecordingsFrom DVRError error 0.)
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    That's me. Recorded game on 770-1. It came on 5 mins late, then cut out at 1:27 in. Now back on, 20 mins later, but info for 770-1 now is pumping "Upcoming: Blue jackets at Sabres", a game for tomorrow, and I can'trecord it for some reason. Frustrating.

    I ordered my first Nomad/GenieGo from Directv on Monday and received a GenieGo 2 on Tuesday. The Win7 program and iOS7 app are obtuse and inelegant, but the thing works as promoted.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thank you Hasan for your detailed writeup of what worked for you. I followed your exact advice and now have what appears to be a fantastic 2TB expander for my new HR44.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    According to my DirecTV onscreen guide today, tonight's Ducks-Flames game from Calgary is only being shown in SD, the Flames' feed. No Ducks feed, and nothing in HD? Strange.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    I have complained in the past about how NHLCI has done such a terrible job of bringing Canadian HD feeds to the US. If that is indeed now fixed, big ups to DTV and NHLCI. Go Calgary Go!
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    What's so unusual about tonight's Blackhawks-Flames game that it's not available on Directv in HD?
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    Typical classless move by NHL Network to distort tonight's HNIC broadcast of NYR-MTL by seriously distorting the game's perspective by squeezing the NHL Network crawl at the bottom. Then, to make it worse, immediately switching to NHL Network's horrible studio show at 9:38 rather than staying...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    I'm saying something different, that HNIC is the best-PRODUCED hockey programming. Whether a particular game will be good or not is not the issue, that's largely unpredictable. BOTTOM LINE: The NHL would really be doing itself a favor by carring each Saturday night HNIC broadcast in full on NHL...

    I appreciate the arrogance. I have had CI for many years. But I am not the issue. The issue is promoting the NHL to people who might not realize how enjoyable hockey can be. Those of us who already have CI don't need that persuading. HNIC presents hockey at its very best, but the NHL doesn't...
