  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My wifey is by far no videophile but just yesterday I fired up the DTV app on our Roku just looking around the settings. She noticed that the colors were more punchier and picture a bit sharper. I found out/noticed that the app is putting out 1080p...

    How's the PQ of DTVS??? I know that all the channels with the streaming backup of DIRECTV satellite are 720p. Does DTVS do native resolution for each channel?
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Same thing happen to me but wanted to swap an HR24 for another HR24. They wanted to send out a tech. Why? Is this something new???

  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I was very fortunate to get 2 LCCs (already was using a AM21 at that time) when there was a big TV station group blackout several years back. They wouldn't give out that second LCC for the life of them. After several callbacks, I talked a (oversees) CSR into sending out a second one... Is...

    I have the same antenna as you on a spare TV. I was lucky to get 2 LCCs from DTV. I looked at Google maps and assumed you're 50 miles the the SE of Cleveland??? It might be possible to get CLE with the Winegard but to have ANY chance the antenna would have to face that way (in a window?) in your...

    Watching football on your locals? That probably isn't a DTV issue but your local affiliates. DTV gets the local signals different ways... by fiber or OTA (over-the-air). By fiber, it could be a raw feed from the station before its statmuxed with multiple subchannels. With OTA, it's afterwards...

    My thoughts too. Just got the same email this morning...

    Checked my account after reading these posts. I am now getting SHO/TMC for "free." I didn't request this. My new bill doesn't come until 6/5...

    I agree. We tried out their Hulu + Live TV...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    These are THE two reasons I went with an HR54 for our home. Office has the HR54 (1080p TV), HT has the C61K for 4K and our daughter has her own HR24. The big drawback with HR54 is only 1 4K channel can be recorded/viewed at the same time...

    I had the opposite experience when upgrading to 4k. I scheduled it online. First available slot? July 4th, a national holiday!!! First or second install window. Chose first window. The guy showed up! He did grab the wrong STB (a 44 instead of the 54 requested)... went back to shop to get it...
  13. Local Reception
    With NextGen TV, there are a lot of new possibilities and I can see broadcasters taking advantage of them. Their license, their right. But I never thought of this scenario! 4K content behind a paywall. Pay a la carte or buy a subscription to a station's 4K feed. Just like these BS DIRECTV...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I agree. I can see a FOX affiliate bit starve (more) their subchannels during the Big Game... Moot for me. I'll be watching the 4K feed...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Any one know how the PQ is/will be? The FOX Sports app is much better than our local FOX station...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    An ATSC 3.0 (now officially called NextGenTV) tuner would use an antenna on your rooftop/attic/window to receive local broadcast stations. The current standard is ATSC 1.0. This is completely different how 4K (UHD) is delivered to your STB on channels 105, 106 and 107...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Sadly, me too. BUT I do feel that I'm getting the best PQ vs the other providers in our area - DISH, Verizon or COX...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I agree. It'll be bit starved UHD. It will be the extra channels and other services (wireless, etc) that these stations are interested in making the most money off of...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    In the near future, it could just be a 4K app from each of the networks (stations) on your ATV or Roku player... who knows...

    They are letting go of customers like you... ones on promotions and/or discounts. Good luck...
