    As I type this, I tried another test. I went into the D* Audio Settings and toggled the volume setting from Dolby Digital to Standard. Lo and behold, the players that were mic'd up sounded fine. Assuming there is something being compromised in the Directv dolby digital processing?

    While the commentator dialog/volume was perfect, the volume of the mic'd up players was very low. What's odd is that I just played some Youtube clips of the live broadcast and the dialog of the players was fine. Any idea what might be going on with the Directv broadcast that would cause this...

    4k golf on 105 today looks way off. Any others with feedback? Looks dark/dull/muted. 104 (not golf) looks fine. TV: Samsung Q90 65"

    Hi Radamo ... I've been having this same problem since upgrading to the C61k-700, in conjunction with my new Samsung Q90 65". I have toggled (what I thought) every single setting within the Genie and also the TV (as well as my Yamaha RXA780 receiver). To me it seems like a jittery/frame rate...

    longhorn23 ... you are the man!!! I cannot thank you enough. I'm in my 20th year with Directv and had no clue you can do a search by audio type. If you are ever in Central Florida, a nice cold beer is on me. I see Florida girls (for example) and if you hit info, you can actually see ATMOS...

    April 2018 there was a thread with minimal information, hence my post. Thanks!

    Looking for guidance on what DirecTV content has Dolby Atmos sound. I have all the required 4k equipment, but the 4k channel is showing up as Dolby Digital Plus on my Yamaha AVR. I can get Atmos via Nvidia Shield on Netflix, but stumped on the DirecTV front. Guide data shows 4k and HDR, but...

    Yeah, I specifically asked for any freebies for a movie channel. She asked what movie channel would be my preference and I said Cinema or HBO. She looked, said nothing was currently available, but then brought up Playboy free for 3 months. I had to chuckle as it was the last thing I was...

    I spoke with retentions earlier today. Note, I used the phrase "what is my contract end date" to go directly to the retention department. I always take the route of saying how much I enjoy being a D* customer (which is the truth), but would appreciate anything they can do to help with having...

    Peds ... that was it ... thanks! There was a difference in the satellite section on the new Genie vs the HR24s. When the installer originally installed the Genie, he didn't go into the other boxes and make the changes. Since there was guide data already in the receiver, I guess it took some...

    Thanks Jimmie ... Yeah, I checked all the cabling, including taking a look at my SWM16R1-03. All seemed fine. I unplugged all pieces involved for 30 minutes and still no luck (including multiple subsequent resets). Only thing I notcied is the SWM is hot! It's Florida and in the attic, but...

    Hi Everyone, On both of my HR24s, we are having issues with missing guide data. I beleive the on screen message talks about the receiver not receiving any data in the last 4 hours. When I run a system test, it returns the error: 41-709, which talks about cabling or distribution problem. On...

    Saying CANCEL at the prompt is not getting folks to the same team as it did in prior years. I went through 2 people until I candidly asked and the rep said she was part of a team that dealt with movies and sports cancellations, but not the "full fledged retention team." I too was offered $50...

    So I called back and got another rep and he explained the Sunday Ticket as definitely having 2 line items on the bill (if you have Max). I asked if anything further could be done in terms of incentives base on the status of my account, and he said he could do Max for free. He removed the $25...

    I've been a Directv customer for ~ 13 years and had the NFL Sunday Ticket since day one. I have been fortunate for many years to receive substantial credits through their retention department. Of course, I just called in and the rep had no history of me having it on the account, but I guess...

    I left a voice mail for the person in programming a little before 11:00pm. I'll try to also follow-up with them during the week. Maybe if enough people call, we'll see some movement. I used: 407-644-3535

    Getting real bad audio glitches during tonight's baseball game. Anyone else? We're talking every few seconds.

    I'm getting audio and video glitches right now. Also seeing lip sync issues.

    Is anyone else experiencing lots of freezing on WESH channel 2 here in Orlando the last few days? I noticed it every few minutes on the hockey game this afternoon and now having the same issue on SNL. I called WESH and just spoke with engineering and they say they don't see any problems on...

    If they ever offer a Spanish channel where I can see some summertime Jai Alai action from Spain I'm all in!
