taking receiver camping

Ten years ago when I had DirecTV it was very simple to take the receiver from home and the extra round dish, look up the settings and set it up. I recently went back to DirecTV satellite and see things have changed. Will it be as simple as before? I have the Genie Gen 3 HR54-500 receiver at home. It

ESPN Unlimited Finger Pointing

Nutshell: I paid for ESPN Select for a few years just to get Plus. In November, DirecTV offered FREE ESPN Unlimited to me. I took it, activated it, and it worked. I then cancelled my private subscription to ESPN Select. Fast forward to January 14, 2026. In a totally unrelated incident, I contacted D

Gemini Satellite

I upgraded to a Gemini from a Genie mini. The picture quality is terrible after the switch. It was perfect before. It is hard wired to coax using an ethernet adapter. The colors are washed out and there is a lot of picture noise and most of the channels are not sharp. I've been with directv over 20

I got the Gemini to use with my Genie in December. In March it stopped loading or opening apps. It says there is a problem with HBO or that there is no internet connection. After two days of unplugging and resets and hours of DIRECTV support calls they decided the unit was defective and shipped anot

Channels missing on the app

I have DTV satellite service for my home TVs. For a couple of years I was able to access the same channels on the app on my iPhone and iPad. A couple of months ago most of the channels mysteriously disappeared from the app. I have un-installed and re-installed the app multiple times. I changed the e

I cannot get my new Denon avr to pair with my genie remote

Just upgraded our 20-year-old avr with a Denon avr-S570BT. I have searched for hours to try to find an answer to why I cannot get it to pair with our Genie RC73 remote. The set up is the genie runs to the avr via HDMI in the SAT port, then from the avr to the tv via the monitor port to the HDMI arc

Gemini remote

Just curious about what others think about the Gemini remote? I personally think it is a swing and a miss. The ergonomics of it aren't good. It has an odd shape, it doesn't feel good in your hand, the number buttons are too low on the remote and the lettering on the buttons are too dark. The backlig
