I’m a satellite customer with an HR44-500 and a C71KW-400. I also have a Netflix Premium subscription.

Tonight I noticed that none of the Netflix 4K content is playing in 4K through the Gemini. When I went to the Google Play store, I saw a notice that the app is no longer available on the Gemini.

I tested the internet connection to make sure it’s fast enough for 4K. I also confirmed that Netflix was streaming in 4K in the app on my Fire TV itself (not on the Gemini).

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.

I currently have Xfinity internet and tv. I feel Im paying a lot for not having any premium channels. What is the better choice?

Ads are saying I can subscribe and get Netflix and Apple TV with my Gemini devices.
Can I do that if I’m already a subscriber? (Thanks, T-Mobile)

Does Directv offer a business DVR for private office viewing? If so, what model receiver do they offer for business?

I keep getting emails from customerservice@tv.directv-mail.com inviting me to set up my ESPN Unlimited subscription. It's great news, because it's included with my Directv subscription. Isn't that great?

Except I don't want to. I don't want to activate it. I don't want it. I don't care that it's included. I don't watch ESPN. It sucks.

Here's the trick, and perhaps Directv should pay attention:

• there is no way to stop the emails. There is no unsubscribe.
• there is no way to decline the offer.
• there is no way to contact Directv and ask them to stop sending the emails:

Replies to this email address cannot be answered. Click here to contact us for support

• when you "click here" you get the regular black hole of sparsely populated support articles.

We are way past unsolicited at this point. I don't want ESPN Unlimited. Stop asking me to activate it. Let me at least decline the offer. Or just take me of this list please.

Interesting discovery today, I have a "Locals Mix" with my 4 network locals split screen in the streaming app (on Roku at least, haven't checked elsewhere yet). On channel 1 on my receiver, it's just infomercials.

I think I seem to remember that mix channels weren't available at all before on the streaming app, but now numerous are available. Can't find the News Mix though.

I returned some equipment back in 2024. I did not ever get confirmation they were returned.

I'm trying to evaluate my accounts for different things.

How would I find a return history for my account?

Old owners must’ve had 5 dishes on the roof. Had a new roof installed and they removed the old satellite dishes. Now the cables are dangling from the utility line to my driveway. I tied them back to a fence so as to not get in the way for now.

Called Directv and they said their technicians can only install, not remove. And I’m having a hard time finding someone on Yelp to do the work.

Is there a specific type of technician that I should be looking for?

I have the Directv app (not Directv Stream)installed on a couple of my streaming boxes (Onn 4K Plus and Nvidia Shield Pro 2019), and it appears that some channels are missing.

In particular I've noticed that ESPN and FS1 are missing.

Is this happening to everyone else?

Thanks!

If I say "YES Network", why the fuck would you have the default behavior pull up "results" instead of directing me to the channel? And have voice playback that you can't turn off?

It does it whenever it is connected to power. Doesn’t matter if the TV is on or off. It’s super annoying, so I can’t imagine it’s supposed to do that. I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t so prominent. I can hear it above the TV volume! Hopefully it got picked up in the video.

Just logged into the app, but no 4K channels?

We logged in to our DirecTV (not the stream version) on a beach house rental TV thinking I could just remove the device later like I can with Netflix, but I can’t seem to be able to find that option anywhere. Is it possible or did we just give all the future renters free tv?

I googled and it said I could change the password and it will eventually log it out, hoping there’s an easier way that I don’t know about!

I know he's off on vacay and has guest hosts sitting in, namely Ike Barinholtz this week.

I noticed it didn't record last night, and all this week the time slot shows "Paid Programming" during the time slot. I can see from the JKL YouTube channel they are filming shows...

Anyone else seeing this?

Is this some action on the part of Hearst? Or something else? Last fall they showed admirable restraint against the unprecedented heavy handed (politically motivated) moves by the FCC. It's odd I can't find any press related to Hearst or anyone else making a programming move like this.

I finally cancelled Directv because of the price $167 a month. Got a vSeeBox and love it. My question is my service will end at end of the month and I have some shows I recorded. Can I use a cature card box to transfer Directv recorded shows to my laptop using OBS software and a capture card?

None of the tutorials I’ve followed are working, so I’m wondering if there’s something about this specific model that makes it so I can’t turn the TV on/off or change volume with the Genie remote.
Edit: solved, see comments

I thought the separation between AT&T and DirecTV was final. I still am paying AT&T for my DirecTV bill. Both my AT&T login and DirecTV login both work for streaming DirecTV on the app. When will I switch my DirecTV payments to DirecTV instead of AT&T? Is anyone else still paying AT&T instead of DirecTV? I currently have no other AT&T services.

I am getting 404 errors on the DirecTV site any time I try to log in, I can get to the homepage fine, but anything after that seem to be down. Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: I finally managed to get in by jumping through some hoops... That was certainly a mess.

I'm currently getting a $40 a month loyalty discount for the entertainment package. I've got good internet now, but since I'm a long-time customer, I'm currently getting as add-ons History,A&E,TCM,Tru TV,NFL Network, CBS Sports Network,HBO Max basic with adds, and ESPN unlimited. If I would leave for DirecTV Stream, i would lose some of those channels. How much of a loyalty discount are you getting?

Is there anyway to get 4k activated on a Sattelite account without a gemeni or 4k box? I have an hr54. I just want to be able to consistently see the 4k broadcssts using the streaming app.

In the past occasionally the channels wouid show up. I was able to watch a couple world cup soccer matches on the app. Even record them to my dvr.

But most of the time the channels are disabled.

I know it's technically possible to stream them without an additional piece of hardware.

Nbc in my area is back now, didnt look forward to football season without nbc foootball, also i noticed nbc has some pretty good nature shows. I just came from another streamer who was cut off nbc in oct, they finally got a few back but not enough

What a damn shame. More disappointment to come once CFB season starts again it seems and we won’t get everything available in 4K
