  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When one is moving to a very expensive home there are many other considerations besides TV service. Would not give up a dream house because it is on a two acre wooded lot. I like Directv but not enough to make life decisions around it. I downloaded that app and tried it around my house seems...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have had Directv for years and am happy with it. We are moving to a new home in a few weeks and I am trying to have minimum tv downtime. The biggest problem is the house has a wooded lot and there is a good chance there will be no good line of site. Anyway, I called Directv and asked if...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I used this feature all the time. I could quickly scan through my entire list of shows, mark watched or will never watch programs to delete, then select delete all and let the receiver work for 5 minutes or so as it deletes everything marked and boom 35% more space and a clean up playing list...

    How do I mark multiple recordings to delete in my playlist? I can't figure out how to get to the screen that lists all my recordings with a check box I can select to delete. I think with the old gui I used the dash to get to this mark recordings to delete mode.

    Did you get it to work? If so, why is it painful?

    You can easily move back and forth through a program with the navigation wheel on the Amazon Fire remote. Netflix even shows screenshots of each location on the timeline just select how far forward or back you want to go. Each screenshot is 10 seconds apart so you can see precisely where you...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I only have two simple requests: One button instant slow motion for sports. Long press play too cumbersome and does not work with my Harmony remote at all. While watching sports, I need to pull out the DVR remote and open my cabinet so it picks up the remote signal. However, I notice that...

    Netflix original series will always be available, but yeah they do rotate different movies and series in for a set length of time that they lease from other studios. It would be a nice option though but will never happen.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I was just asking what would I get extra if I took them up on the free upgraded DVR offer and would allow streaming from DVR to PC. I figured if they had newer version DVRs they must have some new features - otherwise why make a new DVR. Now I know that the upgrade is mostly for 4K which is a...

    I suppose D* could also refer to both Dish TV and Direc tv. I agree.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Why not just DTV to save time? Unless in a forum where one could be referring to Dish TV or Direc TV.....
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have never had any luck trying to watch programing online via directv.com Yesterday, I tried and kept getting and install the cisco player message. I would install and try and it would ask me to install it again even though it was installed. I called tech support and the CS rep could not...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I always wondered why people used D* for Directv? Maybe D* is meant to refer to either Directv or Dish ?
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for all the answers. I thought the newer DVRs would offer something more than only 4K, 2 more tuners (4 is more than enough), and the ability to have more clients. I'll be ordering a Wireless Genie Mini to work in my impossible to get a cable to home office.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Yeah I used Directv2pc for several years. Worked flawlessly until I upgraded video card in 2016 that would not work with the program because it did not do hardware based copy control. What about a wireless genie? Will that work with my current DVR or do I need one of the new DVRs? Two of my...

    So sounds like I would not be getting anything extra I need with new equipment. No need for 4K at this time. Main feature I want is the ability to watch recorded programs from my DVR on PC - which from some research I have done the past ~hour Directv has no intention to ever do.
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Ha, seems this thread is hidden, found it in my post history. Upgraded PC last month with new video card and motherboard and tried installing Directv2pc for kicks. I have 3 old activation codes and all said activation limit reached. Program is definitely dead, at least for anyone that has to...

    So the new DVRs only new feature is 4k capability? I assume the newer DVR is faster... Any other features available - like streaming recorded programs from DVR to my PC? One of my secondary TVs on a genie is 4K capable but is only a 49 inch so 4K not really much of a difference on such a...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I logged into the Directv site for the first time in a while and saw an upgrade button, clicked it and it says I am eligible for an equipment upgrade. I currently have an HR44-500 as my main receiver and two Genie minis (C41-700). On the HR44 I have quite a few programs backlogged that I...

    No, Directv2pc looks to Video Card hardware level screen capture control. The newer cards use Windows 8 or 10 operating system screen capture control. My old card worked fine on Windows 10, but the new card gets the "video card does not support screen capture control" error. I remember once...
