I still cannot reach anyone for a service call

2 weeks now and still cannot reach anyone for a service call. One time I was able to reach "chat" and problem was not resolved, he said if it does not cure a service call is needed. Chat, phone agents and emails are busy. Any suggestions? Why does ATT/DirectTV have a call back or email system?

System rebooting daily while watching wireless set-top

A very peculiar situation.  The ISB7005 reboots and it's happened every day this week early morning after starting a recorded program.  Afterwards everything works normally until the following morning.  The gateway was recently factory reset after receiving a new firmware update.

Thanks DirecTv for that new software update yesterday morning, the one that locked up my HR-20 over and over.

Yep, nice bit of programming you guys did there.    After several lockups I found the instructions for forcing a software download and that seemed to cure it.   Of course several hours later you had to send down ANOTHER update right in the middle of something I was trying to record, and of course wh

The HR22 sholud come with a RF remote (look on back of remote for FCC sticker).  If so, converting DVR and remote to RF is a permanent cure and you can remove the tape.

DON'T DELETE / DELETE

Lately on all 3 of my DTV Stream "boxes" when I come to the end of a recording then FF to the end, I don't get the DON'T DELETE or DELETE options. It just sits on the screen, frozen.  No screensaver or anything.  I have OLED TV's which are subject to burn-in and cannot afford to have a st

Fast Forward/Reverse sticks.

On both TVs and both recievers, all remotes, intermittently, the fast forward/fast reverse sticks. The pause button won't stop it. The banner at the bottom doesn't move, but the program moves swiftly. The only cure is to shut the tv off and back on again. Any help would be appreciated. Ray A.

Same issue here. I am in Florida in the winter and Maine for a few months, in the summer. As a Rays fan, the cure for it is to subscribe to MLB TV and watch the Rays as an "Out of Market Team", while in Maine, in the summer.

Have tried doing a Factory Reset from your settings menu. Then signing on again with your sign on and password. You will loose previous settings and have to redo them, but there is a chance it may cure your problem.

Take a look at your power inserter. If it is wired in such a way that the streamed program travels through the power inserter on the way to the receiver that may be your problems (see pic on left).  The cure for this problem involves rerouting
