Santa tracker

I really hope the Santa tracker comes back this year, it was a stable to my family's Christmas for years and we were so sad that it was unavailable last year so please bring it back because I know I am not the only one who wants it back.

Wrong Local Channels on Stream but correct on Satellite

I used to live in St. Louis (63141), but 5 years ago moved to North Carolina (28078). My local channels on my Directv satellite reflect the local North Carolina channels accurately, but online and through any mobile app, they still show the St. Louis channels.

Two missed appointments

The mini in our Living Room is no longer connecting through WiFi to our "base station". It has worked for years. On Tuesday of this week (November 18, 2025), we called technical support and after "troubleshooting" (which included the technician wanting us to test the WiFi on a wired device), the tec

Most direct (best) way to activate a new HR54 Genie

After the hard drive in our 5 year old HR54 failed several days ago, I've now just received (from Directv) a new (to me) HR54-500C-R. I have tons of notes from the last time I activated the previous box 5 years ago but right out of the gate, I had problems back then that I'd like to avoid if possibl
