Streaming backup is already on employee accounts according to a couple of my friends.

 

[west99999]

You can stream right with the DirecTV app but not directly to a TV. Just a phone or tablet and on iOS you can send it to the TV via Airplay if your TV supports it. But not every channel can be streamed via that method.

Maybe you misunderstood or I wasn’t clear. Employee accounts have streaming backup for around 50 channels. If it rains and knocks those 50 channels out it switches over to stream and you miss nothing but the few seconds it takes to switch over.

 

[west99999]

On what device?

Genie devices.

 

[west99999]

If that is available on current device why can't everyone do it?

He said they were testing it is all I know

 

[west99999]

I’ll take a non-in the know non-informed guess that it will only work with the HS17 in a move to get people away from the older receivers and trigger a bunch of new 2 year commitments at a time NFL ST is going away to try to keep a max exodus from happening. But that is just my own guess. No evidence though.

works on all genies. I specifically asked.

 

[west99999]

Again. They are quite clear on what is being pushed to employees

You sound like a know it all who knows nothing.

 

[west99999]

Who are "they" ?

Right? Why would they specifically tell you of all people what software they’re testing? I thought the edge cutter stuff died out a long time ago? He can say whatever he wants. I know several employees very well and they are 100% correct and have no reason to lie and are not confusing this with the osprey streaming either. They said that would eventually work with satellite as well.

 

[west99999]

From the person who gets his info according to a couple of friends

please come back and apologize after you find out you’re wrong.

 

[west99999]

Edgecutter is alive and well.. Which your comment just proves my point. your "friends" also were wrong about the app which you hung your hat on also

They didn’t change the app? I got a new one???

 

[west99999]

Edgecutter is alive and well..

At one time alive and well meant we would find out about features before anyone else. Not so much anymore I guess.

 

[west99999]

So with this "new" box I couldn't watch content from my HR24's? That would suck.

Your HR24s are a dying breed. They will never get any new features. They will become doorstops eventually.

 

[west99999]

Explain to me if it is using your home network to watch content from the HR54 DVR it couldn't do the same from the HR24. It is on the same network that the HR54 is on.

I’m sure it could but Dtv is not moving forward with any new features on those old dvrs. Why would they? If I’m not mistaken the first hr24 was out in 2005. That’s nearly 20 year old technology.

 

[west99999]

What new feature would have to be done to the HR24? They are already on the network.

I don’t know. I just no that moving forward they’ve said HRxxx will not get any new features which means no streaming backup for one.

 

[west99999]

If only there were a small device that converts coax to Ethernet that you could attach to the C71....

If only the c71 had coax.....

 

[west99999]

DVR controls are deactivated on stream backup I’ve been told.

 

[west99999]

Just a week ago somebody said this would never happen.

 

[west99999]

I said it would never happen?? You wanna find those words I said

To be fair you didn’t say it would never happen. You said that my friends were full of crap or something along those lines because they don’t get software before CE group.

 

[west99999]

I have an HS17 and still getting the "Want to switch to SD" when we get rain fade. Maybe it's only on select channels. Hopefully this is a better solution.

50 or so channels to start is what I was told.

 

[west99999]

List is already out its around 75

They’ve added some since it launched then. Good to know.

 

[west99999]

It’s definitely real. I heard about it months ago.
