    Since SD is going away in 2019, or at least the mpeg2 equipment that carries it, how can they justify charging extra for the "special HD" equipment.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes. I have reset it a few times since the new software was downloaded. In fact I just had it unplugged for awhile a few days ago while I was re-arranging cables and such. It seems to do it maybe 5% of the time (randomly) that I turn it on or turn channels or select info and I haven't been...

    HR44/200 0xffc, Tue 12/12, 3:41A It just did it again. Turned tv on, then hit list, selected a show I had previously been watching, selected resume, and it did, but the top banner, including messages, stayed up, with a list of messages. I left it there to see if it would ever go away. It...

    Yeah, I already have the banner time set to 2 seconds, but sometimes it doesn't go away at all... I have to hit exit to get it to go away.

    Got the new software last week. Lots of things to not like, but the one I'm wanting to fix the most... Messages. It's bad enough that every time I change channels, (or just about anything else) the top third of my screen is now covered. Usually it goes away, sometimes it doesn't. I actually...

    My HR24-100 finally quit. It's many years old, was overheating, had to unplug it, then it would overheat again within a few hours so I unplug it. Did this several times, the last time when I plugged it in a loud bad noise like a failed fan. Anyway, I need to replace it with a Genie Mini...

    If I was a software engineer at DirecTV, I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone what I did for a living. It worked this morning. So what changed? There are no belts to wear out. There are no chains or gears or levers to break. There are no valves to stick. I've got two football games I'm...

    "Warning Please disable screen recording to continue streaming" What now. This worked fine last week when I used it. Now it won't work. Nothing I've downloaded will play. Every time I try to watch one of the shows I downloaded, it comes up with this notification. I looked through different...

    So, is there a known solution?

    I am using my old HR24-100 as a whole home client to my HR44-200. It has worked fine for several years in the role. The HR24-100 keeps trying to download new software. It gets about 50% into downloading software, then the HR24-100 shuts off. Then it tries to do it again. Rinse and repeat...

    So the box I paid for is obsolete a year after I paid money for it, and they don't have a replacement for it. And the "service" they have to replace it doesn't replace it either. Where do I get a refund?

    The mobile app is for iphone / ipad, correct? I am not finding anything that works on my macbook. Am I missing something?

    I use Genie Go to download things to watch on my laptop when I am someplace with no internet access. Usually works fine. Tonight when I attempt to open it, it opens to a login page that requires my email and password and an internet connection. So I can't login without an internet connection...

    https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/pepod/configure.jsp?ACM=false&lpos=Header:3#package-section Put 97850 in for a zip code and selected Union County. Go to KGO-HD or KOIN-HD, etc., and see the green check mark, indicating it is carried. The person on the phone said, yes, it is carried. After it's...

    My mother was on Dish. She got all the normal channels in HD, including the Portland market networks. She wanted to change to DirecTV because they convinced her it would be cheaper. OK, I look on the website to make sure she would get the channels she wants. I put the zip code in, (97850)...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    When I change channels or start a program from the DVR list, the info banner normally disappears after 2 seconds, which is what I have it set to in settings. However, about a third of the time, seemingly at random, it stays up. I have to hit exit to make it go away. Anyone else have this...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That's what I was afraid of... I just thought maybe there was something different I could do since this didn't happen with my old HR24. If I were watching a Portland channel and it started breaking up, I would get the 771 message displayed as long as I was on that channel, but as soon as I...

    Upgraded to Genie a few months ago. I am on the edge of the Portland market spot beam. Every day around 6-7pm and again around 10pm I lose signal from those stations being carried on that spotbeam. More often if there are thunderstorms or rain. I'm not complaining about that as it is my...

    I messed with it for awhile but didn't try that. Figured it could be just some small thing I was missing. Thanks.
