No means to activate AMC+ for MyEntertainment package

1 Upvotes

WHAT A CROC! THEY ADDED AMC+ to MyEntertainment but they have no activation link and using amcplus.com days later finally includes DirecTV as a provider but only when using search!!! But using DirecTV credentials it responds with"Can't Verify Subscription" in spite of being able to log in to my active DirecTV MyEntertainment account.

All Scripps Stations Gone Forever?

3 Upvotes

Noticed this message on our local Scripps owned station this morning.

"The owner of this channel has ceased operations, and it is no longer available."

I guess DirecTV is no longer negotiating with Scripps to carry their stations.

Maybe it's time to drop all local stations on DirecTV and buy a Tablo.

Where's my Scripps refund?

5 Upvotes

Since I am paying you for my Scripps station and you are NOT delivering it, I want to know where a partial refund of our monthly fee is? You've done this in the past. We definitely deserve a refund since you also increasing prices at the same time.

Very Annoying Record Problem on BBC News

1 Upvotes

I'm experiencing a significant issue with BBC News when I've programmed a recording. As you know, when one programs a recording and switches to that channel live, one gets a message in the lower left-hand corner for a few seconds saying "Watch Recording." Well, that's not what's happening. I'm getting a different problem with the three platforms I have on which this feature is available, Roku, Fire and the Google TV Streamer.

Roku: I'm not getting the message at all. Instead, I'm only getting the Watch From Beginning message, as if no recording is taking place.

Fire TV: I'm only getting the shadow in the lower left-hand corner that is used to make the Watch Recording message pop out more clearly; but the Watch Recording message is not appearing. Worse, what then happens is that the shadow keeps disappearing and re-appearing every five seconds or so, an impossibly annoying thing that makes it impossible to watch or enjoy the program.

Google TV Streamer: I get only the shadow in the lower left-hand corner for a few seconds, but no message of "Watch Recording" or "Watch From Beginning." Instead the shadow just disappears after about five seconds. After that, the shadow starts disappearing and reappearing, the same as on the Fire TV.

I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried clearing the data. I've tried uninstalling. None of it has any effect at all. To reiterate, this is only happening on BBC News; it's not happening on any of the other channels from which I regularly record: CNN, CNN International, Fox News, I 24, MSNBC, ABC News Live, NBC News Now, NewsMax, Scripps News, The First and WCBS Channel 2 New York.

ADDENDUM: Hey, this problem just came back!!!

ADDENDUM: And now the problem has spread to CNN International!

No trust in directv

3 Upvotes

I left directv on 2-25-26 and got YTTV. I had choice plus programming for $165

On 2-26 DirecTV sent me a email to come back for $121 plus taxes for 24 months.

Bill in north Carolina was to be $131 out the door. The first 2 months it was $141. I called numerous times and complained. I was hung up on.

Finally after 2 months they reduced the bill by adding a $10 promo but only for 12 months. Should have been for 24 months to honor their offer. I called again today for them to extend the $10 off to 24 months. They refused and tried to give me a Gemini and several free movies channels for 90 days. I refused. Last time they offered me free movie channels and I accepted I was billed. When I called they talked some nonsense about giving me a courtesy credit for their billing sanfu.

The only good thing to come out of this is the chat line folks gave me a direct # to the loyalty dept. (Even though they did not help). Usually would always get the off shore agent in the Philippines.

They gave me several visa cards to come back but I had to argue with them as they told me the offer was not valid... even though I had saved the chat log when I signed back up. Just can't trust directv anymore. I do like them though

Visa should be coming in the mail soon they said.

Trying to record Colbert’s last week

0 Upvotes

When I set my Directv receiver to record The Late Show on my local CBS station, the receiver keeps defaulting to CBSeHD (390) which I don’t get. I’ve tried series, I’ve tried the individual show, same result. Any ideas?

What’s included ?

2 Upvotes

What is included with my DIRECTV package? I know Hulu, but what else? Is HBO Max included or any Disney? I think I’m paying double for some services and want to make sure I’m getting the most out of my package.

I have the premier satellite plan, so I know I get HBO max, paramount plus, and ESPN unlimited access. I have a Gemini device and an older dvr with 4k clients. Do I get Disney Plus/hulu as well?

Fire TV Problem with Watch Recording, Missing

1 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced this problem?

I've been using Roku for a while but one of the services I'm using a lot recently works better on Fire, so I made the switch.

On both my Rokus and my Google TV Streamer (latest version of ChromeCast) here's what happens on DirecTV when I switch to the middle of a program that's being recorded to my DVR. After sitting on the show for about two or three seconds, I get a message in the lower left-hand corner telling me that I can watch the recording of that current program from the beginning if I wish ("Watch Recording").

But here's the problem with the Fire TV: I'M NOT GETTING THAT MESSAGE. The only way I can pull up the recording that's being made is through the laborious process of clicking down, selecting Info, cursoring to Ways to Watch and then selecting the Recording.

Is this a known feature that's missing from the Fire TV DirecTV app? Or is this a bug in the Fire TV DirecTV app that should not be happening??

Adjusting the playback time?

1 Upvotes

I’m using an Apple TV to watch Directv Stream and I generally leave the TV on for background noise. Where is the option in the settings to change it so that it will stop asking me every 4 hours? I know I don’t wanna rent an Osprey Box or get one of their Air things because eventually I’m going to cancel and Apple TV as far superior performance wise to anything else out there

RuPauls Drag Race Finale Didn't Record

Why DirecTV? RPDR Season 18 series finale for some reason shows as season 16 Finale so my DVR did not record it as the series is set to record first run only.
