  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hello all, I will be leaving Directv service today and will be cutting the cord. I've had Directv since 2003 when I bought my first house. Before owning a house I wanted Directv for its superior picture quality, the sheer number of channels, and NFL Sunday ticket games. I wanted to come here...
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    This is absolutely rediculous. This reminds me of 2006 all over again when directv couldn't figure out why programs weren't being recorded. Oh well, shouldn't expect much from a AT&T.
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi All, My HR44 LEDs on the front of the box has been blinking/flashing for the last few hours. The box itself seems fine and my connected c41w seem fine also. Anyone know why the LEDs would just randomly start flashing?
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was surprised that during the pairing it just let me swap out one of the clients as needed. The funnier part was convincing the activation department that I was able to pair it before it has been properly provisioned in their system. Asking me "what was on my screen now?" Was a great Setup...

    It did start a new 2 year agreement, but I was cool with that...I had my original HR20 for at least 5 years...so if something great comes out soon, I can wait 2 years before the "free" upgrades are offered.

    I just ordered another C41w from solidsignal.com (I had a previous C41w from a test area install). It was received by me on Friday and I installed it right away. I was ordering it to replace a wired C41. What was weird was that I was able to replace my wired C41 without even calling directv...

    St Louis is a test market for the c41w. It is available there now by calling directv.

    It is high-time that the TV-cable-broadcast system is disrupted. This mess that has been going on for decades and must change. It took a near collapse in sales for the music industry to change (and finally accept digital)...unfortunately a collapse of cable/sattellite subscribers is the only...
  9. DIRECTV Connected Home
    The app has been working great since I was able to download the correct version. I suppose the next steps are unified iPhone and Android apps along with eventually building the Genie Go hardware into a future Genie itself.

    Hmmm...a new version just to make installers jobs easier. Sure why not? But really how hard is it just to plug it in a router?
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    mrdobolina is the winner! Even though I never had the app on this iPad until today (did have the genie go app though), it kept downloading the old version of the app when I went to the App Store. Even after deleting it multiple times.... Now I checked the AppStore again and it said an update...
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    The playlist is strange... All of my recorded programs are there but they are only viewable on the DVR or rvu. Only a few that have on demand are streamable (most likely from on demand no through my genie go). No download options.
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    There is no genie go in the settings...which looks like it doesn't even find it on my network. Genie go app works fine...redownloaded app...rebooted genie go...still the same. Anyone get this to work on an iPad mini retina?
  14. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Well...seems like the app is broken so far. It doesn't even recognize that I have a genie go. Deleted/redownloaded and got the same. Any thoughts? And yes, genie go solo app is working on the same iPad.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    About 2 weeks ago I had the c41w lose total connection to the bridge. I reset the hr44, bridge, and c41w and that still didn't work. I had to go to the hr44 and remove the bridge in its menu and then re-add it. Then the c41w found the bridge again And updated its firmware. Very strange and...

    That is some very deceptive language. Their marketing department should change that ASAP.
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Using a wireless deca wcck worked alright for me.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If you live in a "test" area the cs agents can setup an install. If you aren't, there is nothing you can do. I am surprised how long it is taking for the c41w to become widely available. After I figured out my wifi issue it has been working flawlessly for me.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Might take a little while before the quality differences are discovered....especially since most households will only have 1 hr44 to compare to.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks Rad! I was able to change the channel to a set one now... So at least it will stop jumping around now. Looks like a fairly normal Cisco/linksys router setup page. Oh... And the c41w is working great still watching my Badgers steamroll to victory.
