  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    As of this morning some of our locals are back including the 4 major networks (NYC Demo here). Our CW is still down and some of our lower level PBS channels are still down (we get 4-5 different PBS feeds, 2 are back up, but the rest are still down). Some other networks are still down as well...

    In all the years you've had D* Satellite how many times has this happened? I bet it's less than your internet going out at home even for short periods of time. There are lots of reasons to switch to streaming OTT, but an outage like this is very rare. Now if they can't fix it..... I have...

    I'm starting to see some news reports show up, via local TV stations, so it's getting some traction.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm having the outage in NJ as well. I can watch via the streaming option presented but the downside is I have things set to record tonight that could be affected as recording will not work via streaming if you are on the Sat service. I do have a couple of backup solutions in case things don't...

    Seems like DirecTV is offering a new program to encourage users to stay on. On the surface it seems similar to the old Loyalty program. On the flip side, I wonder if this is going be the end of the random call hoping for perks if you threaten to leave...

    My son has Stream and it's there.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The one thing about using the app as opposed to using an HR or Gemini that bugs me is the missing channels. But as stated above, for the couple of TVs we don't watch that often, it's fine. But, my assumption was that once the channels came on board with DirecTV Stream and are available on the...

    I can verify that the 30 second skip works on the C61k, haven't tried it yet on the Gemini, but I'd imagine it works, using the method that @b4pjoe posted.

    The "death" of cable TV has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Consider that the majority of the are owned by companies who have gone all in on streaming (and losing a fortune doing so). USA, SyFY, Bravo, all owned by Comcast, who owns Peacock, FX, Disney (and it's offshoots), Freeform are...

    This exactly. This way they inactivated the correct mini.

    I do have a second one from when I used a "Gemini" with DirecTV Stream, so I'll just program that backup. Has this been a pattern or maybe just bad luck for you?
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    She's not at all tech savvy and anything that's different than just "watching TV" is two technically difficult. In the days when watching a bluray was popular she would never watch one without me because she couldn't figure out how to get to it (even though I showed her dozens of times on the...

    My Hisense TV (not the one used for the Gemini) also on Google TV does it as well. It's probably fixable, but I bet that DirecTV and their overlords don't want to spend the money to fix it.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't want to have to hassle with having to turn it on and off all the time. I changed the TV setting from "Theater" to "Standard" and it looks a little better. I might spend some time tweaking the actually settings on the TV to see if I can get it where I want it without screwing up how...

    So my Gemini arrived last night, and it was just as you predicted, not just a simple phone call. What I expected to be a 15 minute phone call went more than an hour. Not that DirecTV didn't do right by me, because they did eventually, but because when they put in the original work order, they...

    I don't think that's what he means by streaming. I'm guessing he means YTTV, DirecTV Stream and so forth. But even with all that, if he's a local sports fan, he's not getting any RSNs (or, if they ARE availble via a separate streaming service, probably cost about $25 a month which puts him...

    Which is what I assumed. Should be a simple phone call.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That's what I assumed, hence my earlier comment, but it sounds like Harsh might not agree.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm not going to worry about it to tell you the truth. Whatever they tell me I'll do. If they want a 4k box back, that's what I'll send them. I'll just change my plans for where I'll put the Gemini. But we'll see how it goes.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yep, I'll have to test that out. Didn't think of that.
