  1. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I was wondering how long before this thread would derail when I wrote the title. 😀
  2. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I plan to screw it in there. The advantage to that will be the RTK will be up higher - past the roof line. Clamping it to the DTV pole is not an option as the OD is too large. They sell a bracket (pictured here) for this type if installation for about $100 (including shipping and tax), so I'm...

    Thank you!

    Ahh - so it will fit into that DTV pole. Thank you!!
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I left DTV many months ago and never took the dish off my house. Here's what I have: Here's my question: I'm buying a robot lawn mower - a Mammotion Luba. They don't use a boundary wire like most robotic mowers do. Instead, they use an RTK GNSS antenna combined with a GPS receiver in the...

    Using the Harmony (lol), I simply hold the button down. It becomes second nature after a while. 'Clicks' are not 'stacked'. Having said that, I ff in a different way, and find it easier to do. I hit 'pause' first. Then I press the forward button which then shows thumbnails. The longer I...

    My wife 'bought in' when it eliminated the clutter. Plus, she only had to learn the one remote. I've always liked universal remotes, and IMHO the right Harmony's are the best (they have a few I would not go near). Bottom line, for the ATV, the one I have in that room works great.

    In July of 2019, the YTTV update included this: "This YouTube TV update delivers progressive fast-forward, which means holding down the button for longer will skip portions of the program faster. Specifically, it will skip 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute the longer you hold down the...

    Quick comment on your one issue with the ATV remote. I agree - it sucks. I have a Harmony remote in our main TV room, and it handles the ATV as well as our DTV remotes did. If that's your only complaint about the ATV you might want to consider replacing it's remote. Here's the Harmony I'm...

    Thanks man - I'll still be lurking around... :D
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The first offer was $109 without ST. The second offer was $109 with ST. The third and lowest price was $77 w/o ST (plus taxes and fees). The only time I've ever had ST was when I used to get it for free by playing CSR roulette, btw. It's not that important to us. With my VPN and YTTV, I can...

    Just made the call - got the last toe out the door. It was quite painless after the 15 minute wait on hold. I was connected to a very nice and cheerful CSR who made three attempts to keep me. She lowered the price three times and even offered ST for free. I'll be officially disconnected on...

    I use iTunes exclusively now. Before my ATV I used Vudu because of their high quality streaming options. Ironically, my ATV is the result of ATT's streaming service (whatever it was named then). It came as a 'freebie' during one of their promotions a number of months back. I tried a few...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Ha! One less than your's. I used to rent or buy discs only (had Netflix for that back in the day). Now we stream only, and use our ATV for that. I own some movies in the cloud now, and they are all on either iTunes or Vudu.

    I can... :D

    My understanding is it's available only to students and those who cannot receive a sat signal.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    :D I prefer the interface, but that's subjective. It simply sets up and records season passes for OTA only - whatever my antenna can pick up. As for quality, it's at least as good as DTV in that you can choose what quality you want to save your programs in, as well as the quality to stream...

    6'1" here. I'd like the Volvo SUV equivalent to my S90 for ease of exit, but the WAF won't allow it - "They look too much like a station wagon!"
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's not so much that I think I'm being 'cheap', it's much more like I'm annoyed at feeling like I'm being ripped off after two price increases in two months. (And I get I could likely call them for another 'promo', but that second increase woke me up.)

    @Rich - You're post made we wonder if I should start a thread here titled 'What happens if I put a 1TB SSD in my Tablo?'
