Setting up Directv at Tailgate

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I need the power inserter with a Phase III 18" X 20" Dish Antenna, Model No: AU2-F1 and receiver model H23 (photos attached)?

When & If You Cancel Service

If you decide to cancel your DirecTV service don't do it in the middle of your "month". If you cancel anytime before the end of your service month they will not prorate your payment and give you a credit. If for instance your service month is 3/8/2020 to 4/8/2020, cancel your account on 4/8/2020. He

ALL of my recordings start early, big hassle to fast forward every time

When I schedule a DVR recording for  a specific time, my DVR  always starts recording one or two minutes early.  It is a big hassle to always have to fast forward my show to start watching it.  Who is the incompetent engineer at ATT Uverse who can't start a recording on time?  This is ridiculous!

Question

The guide now seems to go out to the correct number of days. With that said, the original air date of shows with episodes (late night shows, series) should be extremely prominent. It shouldn't be a treasure hunt to figure out if it's a new episode.

I'm seeing a lot of minor changes to the U-Verse guide, mainly in the local channels with the descriptions and some of the images used for future programming. You'll probably have to re-schedule recordings. I know I did.
