  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I know I'm probably the only one who watched them but I used to love Shortcuts... recorded all of them overnight for viewing Monday-whenever. Great to watch an entire game in about 30 minutes. Of course, since I was probably the only one watching they stopped including it on Sunday Ticket...

    Those Redmere cables previously linked are perfectly fine up to 100ft (used them many times at conferences). Regular HDMI cables are flaky after 20 or so feet depending on source (which puts power on the cable).
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just to put another wrinkle into the mix... I fixed the audio dropouts issue for me. My setup is a C61k directly connected to a Vizio P65-C1 with the HDR firmware. What I found is that if I turned OFF the HDMI Color Subsampling for the input where I have the C61k connected - no more dropouts...
  4. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I picked up the last one from eBay @ $49. Installed last night and everything seems to work well.
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    SamS, that makes sense because I NEVER get dropouts while watching 4k content. Only when watching 1080i (the majority of what's available and what I watch)... so it seems that the C61k doesn't not handle 1080i/p EDID correctly for whatever reason. Not sure why that would effect content "in...

    I have the latest firmware B6 and still have dropouts.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The C61k dropouts did get worse lately. It was nearly impossible to watch NFL Sunday ticket today. Audio dropouts occur on every HD channel but I haven't had any on the 4k channels. Mine is hooked up directly to a Vizio P65 and, like you, replaced it with my 41W and it works without dropouts...

    Still listed as being on channels at http://www.nfl.com/nflsundayticket

    This is yet another reason why you should schedule these appointments as the first morning available. Can't blow you off if you are first.
  10. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Looks like I'm getting rid of DirecTV at the end of the month. Are GenieGo's still not able to be transferred to a different account? I have one that I'll probably give to my neighbor if he wants it otherwise sell it to someone. Thanks, Eric

    Same issues with my HR34. I have multiple HR24s, HR21 and even an old HR20 which never lockup. The HR34 will lose network (while watching a program from it on an HR24). Static IP is there. Other times the HDMI will sync to my TV at 30Hhz with no sound. Sometimes SUPER slow where it won't...
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I have a "similar" issue in that internet connectivity negatively affects whole home connectivity. I've been having internet issues (finally fixed) and whenever the internet would go down the HR34 would not be able to see the HR24's programming but they could see the HR34. My HR34 is connected...

    Thanks for the additional information. Is there any fit difference between the WNC and PBI or is it just the pivot that's different?
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Well I must have been searching the wrong terms, but I found the right combination. It's the "stubby" mount or Low Pro Easy Mount. Makes the dish much closer to the roof and looks much better (IMHO).
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Good. I'm glad it's not just me. My HR34 will lose all whole-home connections to my other HR24s and HR20. Those machines can still see the content on the HR34 but the HR34 won't come back until I reboot it.
  16. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I've noticed on 2 new homes here in the neighborhood that they have installed DirecTV with very (relatively) short mounts. The pipes are maybe 6-8 inches high and don't have a bend and no additional braces are there. It gets windy here so I'm thinking these low mounts might be better than the...

    Magically, this morning it works fine. BTW, tried swapping the HDMI cable. It was connected directly to the TV - literally nothing changed but some bug in the HR.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have an HR34 that I've had for a couple of months. Just today trying to play any records (local or remote) results in the HDMI not passing any signal. If I stop the "playback" all is well I can see live tv just fine. Things I tried: 1. Restart receiver through the menu 2. Red button...

    Ever think of turning off sharing?

    I noticed you are in Texas, but not where. Here, near DFW, I had a neighbor lose 3/4 of his electronics during a lightning storm. Guess what happened. Yep, lightning through the antenna. Point is - make sure that puppy is PROPERLY grounded.
