    Try a refresh of that receiver. It that does not work a call to Directv should do the trick. The tech not verifying that it worked properly is inexcusable.

    It is great when you live in an area that has these supper fast internet speeds. I get 10MBPS and no increase in the foreseeable future. 500MBPS in the near future for me is only in my dreams.

    The number of channels in a package means nothing. The only thing that matters is that it has what you want. I have Ultimate because it a few more channels I want. Of the 240+ channels on ultimate the family and I may watch less than 60, and that may be to many. I would be surprised if this 100...
  4. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I guess DBSers just have to have the latest gear now. I am a do-it-yourselfer. I have been installing my own satellite gear since 1996 through moves and numerous upgrades.

    I had a similar problem with a Vizio TV. An inexpensive powered HDMI splitter solved the problem. It was discussed here: http://www.dbstalk.com/topic/219212-problem-with-a-vizio-whats-new/ Hope this helps.

    The HR54 powering the entire system is great until your HR54 goes on the fritz. Nothing else will work. I have a power inserter into the power pass port on my 8 port splitter. MY HR21 and HR24's can still get programming even if I unplug the HR54. I use the Directv PI21R2-16 power inserter...

    Here is a map of the underseas cables. http://www.submarinecablemap.com/#/ There are a staggering number of cables. Not all the Trans Pacific cables go through the Hawaiian Islands. There are two cables going to Maui from Oahu. Could be the cost of putting internet on the cables is a factor...

    You beat me to it. Also, primary does not mean ONLY. Since AT&T does not have direct internet to what I would suspect to be a large percentage of current Directv subs I see that outcome as questionable. Who is going to pay all that data cost. I have a hard time wanting to depend on the...

    Here is my setup. I have an HR54, and 1 HR21 and 2 HR24 which equals 13 tuners and a 3D2RBLNBR0-01 LNB. I hooked up an old HR34 in my shop to see if I could use channel 100 to test TV's. So that is 14 tuners running. I fix LCD TV's as a hobby. It works and nothing has blown up. I also ran...

    I have had an issue with FSKC 671-5 which only shows Kansas City Royals games. Two times last week I went to the channel and only got the LOGO. I went to the SD channel and the game was on. It took two reboots to clear the first occurrence. After the first reboot I got a PPV channel. The...

    Directv really needs a linear TV channel to promote 4K. NASA TV would be a slam dunk for quality 4K content. The biggest draw back for production of 4K content is the fact that the OTA networks have little incentive to produce any 4K unless they are allowed to provide a national 4K channel via...

    If they showed just the timed portion on the game it would only take 1 hour. Cut out the half time and time outs, add 1 hour for commercials and anything else of interest and 2 hours per game is plenty of time. I personally can not see the allure of watching a replay of a sporting event that I...

    The computer accounting systems in large corps are supposed to be dummy proof so they can hire less compitant employees and be assured that they will not mess up the whole system. When it comes to a situation that the system can not handle, i.e. changing the name on an account without...

    Should any co-ordination between Ceil and Directv that has to do with the use of bandwidth have to be approved by the FCC and become public record?
  15. General Satellite Discussion
    I do not think it a stretch to assume that all satellite dishes and receivers are illegal in Iran for the regular folk but I am sure the well connected still have theirs.

    That clears up a lot of questions. Thanks
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I understand the 103 RB problem. I was just wondering who had RB authority at 101. It would seem strange that the current RB LNB's would be limited to 103 since the RB license problem has been going on for a long time. How Directv would use RB at 101, if that is even possible, is another...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Are the 3D2RB and 5D2RB LNB's only capable of recieving RB from 103? Does Directv or any one else have an RB license at 101?

    They added another international game this year to 4 total. Over the years the number of ST games has been reduced. When ESPN took over MNF they added another game to opening weekend with the double header. And of course TNF has reduced the ST games and I can see them adding more...

    Not sure why a cleint would be confused. I have an HR54, 1 clent and 3 HR24s. (All wired) When I call up the list on the client the programming from the HR54 and all HR24 are in the list. I would think that if another genie is attached to the network, its programming would also be included in...
