Hi, I have an H24/100 receiver and the power input is worn out (need to jiggle the cord to get it to work and DO NOT touch it after it does) and the Coax input for the satellite cable is also worn out and needs replaced.

There is a way to block CEC / Samsung Anynet+ / LG SimpLink / Sony Bravia Sync !!

This comes up many times: I turn the satellite client on, and my TV goes off, or something else changes on / off state. The new Gemini always outputs CEC now, you are no longer able to stop it. One solution not ever brought up (not in the last 2 years) is you can buy a small HDMI "dongle" that goes

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

System comes back on by itself after I turn it off.

I had a new Genie 2 installed about two weeks ago (replacing my HR54). I also had a new Gemini unit installed for our main TV in the den. 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
