  1. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Ah, yeah. Like how I called that out and then didn't write it? Ugh. I actually did remember to do it when I put the search in. HR-24's here, no genie. I like to make sure it records the NESN feed so I need to use the CCHANS to make sure it grabs that one instead of the broadcast from whomever...
  2. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Hello old thread! There was a while where boolean searches were causing some issues for folks with HR-24's super slow response time and the like (back in 2013). I ended up having to remove my search, which was the only one I had for red sox on NESN. I believe the CCHANS is the only thing that...

    Just got my tier 3 callback from MLB.TV who confirmed (what's already been confirmed) that there in an issue with entitlement between the MLB app on ATV and DTV EI subscribers and that they are "working on it." Very friendly woman who admitted watching the various forum threads this is being...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Posted in another thread in a different sub forum on this - it seems pretty clear that there is a problem with MLB.TV on AppleTV when using the authorized creds from DTV. From my tests and a bunch of reading seems like most (if not all) other devices are working OK, but there is definitely...

    Just adding some info to this thread - Went to watch the sox game that I recorded on NESN last night and was "not authorized" Fortunately was able to watch the game on my Roku since we have the free MLB.TV deal this year. The ROKU UI and PQ is horrible, but at least I got to watch the game...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Ah, I gotcha. I did already talk to them (it's who I ordered the card from) and confirmed via the RID # that it is owned and that there is no additional commitment, but I suspect that calling back later to validate is a good plan. Thanks for all the tips! .ds
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for the tip, may I ask - what's different about the activation process for an owned receiver versus non?
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks for the advice all, I bought an owned H25 with a remote on ebay for 100 bucks which got delivered today. It's a little beat up (missing one of the rubber feet and has a few scratches but fine for my purposes). Just called DTV to get a new access card and they credited me the 20 for the...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    thanks guys, I see a couple on ebay (that list the RID right in the listing and sellers have good feedback, so I presume they know what's up). They are mostly HR24's which is what I have elsewhere, just seems silly that I can't get a simple add on receiver (at any cost) from Dtv without agreeing...

    Hmmmm, OK that's rough, but appreciate the clarity. Weird the CSR would say it wouldn't extend... I might be running receivers back and forth from place to place for a while me thinks.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi, I'm out of contract (and would like to stay so) but I want to add a receiver to a room we didn't use for a while. It's wired already as we used to use it. I have 3 HR-24 500's on whole home. Just need a simple additional receiver (guessing H-25?) to access whole home. When I try to get one...

    You guys are awesome. Thank you!
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Sorry, this has been covered a few ways that I found via search, but I'm not sure I was able to figure out exactly how the conversations I found would apply to me. I just had an outbuilding wired for directTV, there was an additional open port on the 4Way next to the dish (SWM) and the line is...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I think most of us (at least the ones that were vocal) had our issues fixed unilaterally with the removal of the AALL type keyword searches. Back to running as it should ever since, so not much to report. If you have AALL keyword searches set, remove them and you will be back to good. If you...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    HAHA I love where you are headed. I have the fridge coming in the remodel, but no kegerator (yet) - With the pool build and the landscaping and the bar construction... that one might have to wait until next summer, but you are thinking about the important stuff now for sure!
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks folks, that's really helpful info. I can easily find the splitter and will make sure to procure the cabling before install. Love the idea about a second conduit line - I hard wire most of my network since I sling so much video across around the place... having a way to pull an ethernet...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks for the super fast response. To be clear I wasn't concerned about the length - I'm concerned about the line itself, are you saying have them run RG6 when they run the electric so that there is something to connect up with at the house? I have three lines run to each of the HR24's directly...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well now that my woes with the HR24 lock ups are over (whew) I'm on to thinking about the next issue I have to deal with. We are in the early stages of building a pool (permits just went to the township last week) - we are also converting a storage shed into a full bar, it will be wired with...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Can you describe painfully slow? There were some of us dealing with complete receiver lock up - load times of the guide or list and other functions often times in excess of a full minute, sometimes two+ during which all other functions of the box were completely locked. Does that sound like what...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Definitely interested to see if this impacts you or not over the short term. It was basically a binary change for me once I read the post from LiQiCE and deleted mine from series manager the DVR became usable again. It sure would be nice to not have to remember to set up recordings for every...
