    We recently subscribed to MLB.TV via the iTunes app and have been watchin on Apple TV. We're having DirecTV installed next week. Any way to use the MLB.TV credentials from the app to watch the MLB channels on DirecTV? I'm guessing that the answer is "no", but I thought I'd ask, just in case!

    I have two AM21 tuners that I no longer need and would be glad to sell at a reasonable price. They have been sitting in my closet for several years. They work fine and have just a few scratches on the top. If anyone is interested, please send me a message.

    Thanks, NashGuy, for the great comparison of Showtime video quality. One thing that has made me hesitate to completely cut the satellite cord is the big drop in picture quality I see when comparing the HBO Now steaming app with the DirecTV feed. HBO Now looks pretty bad in comparison. Its great...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    As the years go on, and I've been with DirecTV for over 17 years, all of this calling and haggling gets tiring. Our changing viewing habits and priorities along with more streaming choices (HBO Now, Showtime, etc.) are making us seriously consider cutting the cord. Being able to cancel a...

    That is exactly the reason I'm looking forward to signing up for HBO Now as soon as it is available on Roku. I really hate having to take the time to call DirecTV every time I want to cancel HBO or Showtime for a few months. It will be much simpler to do online. It will be worth it to me even...

    In my opinion, after seeing the pilot, be glad that it didn't record.

    I'm looking forward to subscribing to HBO NOW just so I don't have to go through the hassles of phone calls, customer service reps and sales pitches every time I want to turn off HBO for a few months.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've begun a very gradual cutting of the cord, substituting streaming when its practical for me. For example, I called DirecTV a few days ago to cancel HBO. I do that occasionally when there aren't any HBO series running that I'm interested in. Later in the year, I will most likely resubscribe...

    Well, I just got the TV today and it is indeed only DirecTV Ready, not 4K ready. Now I know!
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The Sony web site does say this on the web page for this model: So much to see in 4K Hundreds of movies and TV shows are available from the top 4K service providers, including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, DirecTV video on demand and more.

    I just ordered a new Sony XBR-65X850C TV that is DirecTV 4K ready. This TV will be connected directly to the Genie DVR which is in the same room. Will I be able to watch DirecTV 4K content this way or would the new TV need to be in another room? From everything I've read on the DirceTV site, I...

    Another Denon user/fan here. My Denons have always worked perfectly with various DirecTV DVRs, including my current Genie.

    Got it. Thanks.
  14. DIRECTV Connected Home
    When our new Genie was installed, it was set up to connect to our network wirelessly. I'd like to change that to a wired configuration. When I plugged in an ethernet cable, the little light was blinking, acting as if it is connected via the cable, but after doing a system test, it said the Genie...

    Just wanted to share that we had a tech come out yesterday to upgrade our system. We went from 2 HD DVRs to an HR44 Genie and two wired clients. The tech was very knowledgeable and personable. He definitely knew what he was doing. We're very impressed by the Genie, the clients, and how much...

    Once again, it seems that whatever deals we might get depends on our account history and the CSR we happen to get. My HD fee waiver also ran out last month. I called and spoke with a really friendly guy who said he could reinstate the ten dollar discount if I would do another 24 month...

    OK. I figured out a convoluted way to fix my problem. First, I deleted the DirecTV app from my iPad. Then I did an iCloud backup of everything. I then erased my iPad's contents and restored it from a previous, two month old backup. When I clicked on the DirecTV app, it then worked fine!

    After changing my DirecTV account password, I am no longer able to log in to the DirecTV App on my iPad. It says "Incorrect email/password combination" when I try to log in. I called DirecTV. They passed me around to three different people, none of whom had an answer other than to change my...

    This is a really great addition to the ROKU lineup. I rewatched the wonderful Johnny Carson episode of American Masters last night.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So I decided to downgrade my package in order to help offset the protection plan increase and the package increase from earlier in the year. I called to make sure downgrading my package would not affect my $10.00 for 24 months (free HD) credit. The customer service rep said that a downgrade...
