  1. DIRECTV Connected Home
    So this isn't just for DirecTV and AT&T Wireless customers that are bundled together right? I have DirecTV at home, but am on a family plan with AT&T wireless so wasn't sure if it was truly for everyone on AT&T Wireless or just their bundled customers.
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yeah, this issue happened to me with The People vs. OJ Simpson for a few episodes towards then end (didn't in the beginning), and now it's happening with the last couple eps of The Americans (which didn't at the start of the season). Very annoying. I see this goes back to 2014, you'd think...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Had that happen a couple times for that show on FX. Strange thing was after a couple times of it happening I cancelled the 1st showing and selected the 11pm one and it worked fine. Did that for the last few episodes and no problem (well haven't watched the finale yet) so far. Hasn't happened on...
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    Tried calling a couple times to see if they couple times to see if they could offer me any discounts and nope. I am getting like $40 off in discounts (which I'm really happy with my bill at the moment) after scheduling a cancel account appointment. I also didn't pay for it last year. So I'm...

    I like the idea of being able to buy a single-team package (which I've been saying for years), but think the price is still too high. It really should be half of the price for the package IMO. I like the follow your team, but living down here in south FL I've never had a problem watching Yankees...
  6. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    It's not the genie that's having a problem with the internet, it's hardwired in (no wireless, till the whole home setup which was fine before the new dvr). After setting up my new DVR, at times my router will have issues with it's 2.4ghz band. Both the 5ghz and lan work fine, it's just the...
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So my old Genie HD-DVR HR44-500 was on the fritz so I got a replacement one that's a HR44-700. Seems it's causing me some wifi interference. Basically after setting it up, the 2.4ghz band on my router will not grant devices an IP address. The wifi signal is there, attempts to sign on and when it...
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I did see Homeland airing (it was the start of the season though, not the most recent ep) on the audience network last week sometime. Could the CSR be talking about that? Never bothered to check to see if they were available in OD. You definitely need subscription to access Showtimes OD like...

    One issue I seem to be having, is occasionally the previous, pause/play, fast/rewind buttons seem to stop working after a while. If I press channel up, they start working again. Anyone else?
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Isn't there a $10 advanced receiver HD monthly charge to the HR-22 (and for all extra DVRs, besides the main one)? Assuming he takes the Genie as his main DVR.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My boss just got a HR-44 installed last night in Crown Point, IN. He's a long time customer and loves it and the new genie clients. I think my aunt and uncle got one installed last week in Indio, CA (near Palm Springs). Can't confirm, but she said it was the small one so I'm betting on it.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Both times I called they insisted on putting the installation charge on there (and when I asked for them to ship it to me and activate it myself they wouldn't). So if they won't offer it at a discount, I think going those 2 options is a better route.
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Any installs around the Palm Springs, CA area? Have family out there looking to get DirecTV and was curious. I did get my HR44 installed a few weeks ago in Boynton Beach, FL. Only got 1 C41 client installed, should have planned it better. Now could use another one in another room and they won't...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Do I still need the Whole-Home DVR Service fee for just the Genie and the Genie clients? I do have 2 other DVRs, but they won't be on the whole home network.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Got my HR44 installed yesterday with a c41 client (with a SWM-16). Like stvjohnsn said, the installer said they've been installing them for the last month and half or so.
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Haha, love the Extra Innings package for that reason. And hopefully, no more conflicts soon when games are on.
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Nice, good to hear another one in the south FL market getting one. Have an install coming tomorrow (Boynton Beach, FL), and the request for a HR44 so hopefully I'll get that. For those that didn't get one when you confirmed, what'd you do (cancel the install, reschedule, etc.)?
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    Just be aware of their cancellation fee. I asked the CSR when they called about a Internet/TV promo if there was one, and of course they said no. So when the rates went up after the end of the promotion, I called to cancel the TV part of it and go back to just internet. And low and behold, there...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I still can't activate it on my iPhone, so I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm actually surprised they activated HBO Go for AppleTV, I'm still waiting for it on my Roku. I have it by a HD receiver, and thus can't access the ONDemand. This is one area where DirecTV could really improve on.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Good to hear they're making their way down to the south FL market. Might have to make a call soon to request one.
