HR54-200 Problems

My receiver is having issues. It spontaneously reboots, it constantly loses internet connection, and resetting the network only works occasionally — it requires a full reboot to fix. It can also be painfully slow, and I'm fairly sure it's causing a network loop that brings my home network to its kne

RC73 remote pairs with new Hisense QD65 TV but turns it on to the Hisense Home Screen

Ever since then, there are occasions when I turn off my system, within 15 seconds, the system will turn on again by itself. This is not all the time, but every se

Why is DirecTV changing the way we access our recorded programs

Why is it necessary to change the way we have always accessed our recorded programs? I've read the reasons why you say you changed it, but this isn't helping at all. It has only made it more complicated. 1) We are no longer able to watch our favorite game show that we record every day. It says we ha

English Premier League (soccer) games in 4K?

First season with a 4k-capable setup (tv and Genie Mini 4k). I also have the DirecTV app on a 4k-capable fire stick. Will there be a difference between the two options (direct from satellite versus thru the Fire stick) in terms of 4k broadcasts?
