    Hate the rain do ya?! :p
  2. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have a media closet in my basement. I use the RF4CE remote with my Genie in my living room, approximately 20 ft away, direct. There are a number of obstructions in the way, many corners, and walls, and staircases in between. If I recall correctly, someone did a range check a long time ago with...

    Someone may have answered most of your questions already and I have some of the same audio questions. I am on the fence as to which TV to purchase soon, but am considering Samsung's 60" HU8550. I know that with RVU clients, that I just added to my account, they simply add the ability to your...

    As long as the set has HDMI 2.0 it looks like it will do 4k at 60 fps over HDMI. The ones I have looked at have that already. But, that isn't DirecTV 4k, it looks like you have to have a 4k set with the new RVU firmware too, my best guess at the moment.
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah, that's for RVU, not DirecTV 4k...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Deal breaker? No, but I had a particular brand and model in mind that is about $700 less expensive than a comparible Samsung. I did further digging, and you are correct, the HDMI 2.0 sets will be able to handle the 4k content up to 60 fps, so perhaps no need to get frantic. :-) The Sharp is...

    I am only seeing Samsung as DirecTV 4K Ready. Toshiba and Sony are not on the listings...unless I'm missing something.

    This is the only Samsung TV that comes up with "DirecTV 4k Ready" : http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN85S9AFXZA
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Ok, in line with acostapimps, what does "DIRECTV 4K Ready" mean? I am considering a Sharp UHD 4k TV, and now have second thoughts: http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC60UD27U.aspx I am now frantically checking out the interfaces, since it is possible that not all...

    Hi Bryan, That's an interface I never considered with the clients. When I was studying these during field trials I always wanted composite and component video all at once, but was unable to find a cable that was ready made. In that same vein, I suspect that similar is true for and S-Video...

    Which model Genie and software version are you running? I've seen both of these issues but not recently.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Nice, I can see a lot of great uses for this puppy!
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hi Mr. Mojo! I estimate since 2011 this has been a known problem. At least for me. My collection is fairly big too and I also use WMP. I get a similar issue with pictures, since I also have a very large amount of photos. I spent a lot of time and effort working with DirecTV on this but alas it...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hi, My personal take is you will want to wait to get a HR44 versus the HR34. There is really no comparison. The new remote doesn't impact the use of the Harmony usage, that is how I have mine setup (I have a media closet with a Harmony 890, with several STBs in that closet set to the differings...

    Superb! :)
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was able to convert an AT-9 to and ODU 5S. I thought I wrote a first look about it. I'll have to dig that out of the archives. EDIT: Here's the link to the forum thread, but the link is broken. I have asked Stuart to fix the link in the post...
  19. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I have two Harmony remotes, one is not being used and the other has its quirks, the 890's main quirk is the recharging base to remote interface. Evertyhing else works pretty much as I want it too and my family is totally used to it. I look forward to seeing newer models in the near future, but...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It really depends on what you want. In my own side by side comparison, the HR44-700 is hands down much nicer, smoother to use, making the TV watching experience that much more efficient, especially using the RF mode on the remote. Doing the trade study on the side by side comparison, and if it...
