It's an R15, and we've had it about 5yrs, but no problems.  This unit was actually stored for a year during home renovations, but seemed to be working fine when we re-connected.Today, I noticed that many shows I had taped had 'weather' glitches - just a po

Unable to watch DVR'd shows; play freezes, audio bleeds in

Over the past week, I've had lots of issues with my DVR.  Have had this DVR for over 2 years and never had a problem with it before.  Shows that aren't in my series list are recording - just random things.  Shows that ARE in my list are NOT recording.  During playback, the show will usually "freeze"

Normally the NID is grounded and the electrical surge from the storm should bleed off there.

Out of synch video output

My video output looks like it’s slow motion and it’s out of synch with the audio. How do I fix this? Also, my Direct Tv remote doesn’t respond to the Home button, Guide, Lists, apps.  It does change channels by pressing numbers.  Help!

Is this a DIRECTV phone scam?

I have been repeatedly getting a call from someone claiming to be from DirectTv, offering me free premium channels for three months. They provide my basic information back to me, which is probably not too difficult to obtain, so it seems legit.  When I decline the offer, they hang up immediate

Intermittent black screen

Super annoying! In the middle of a show, the screen goes black for about 5 seconds. This happens about every 5 minutes. Tried all the uninstall/reinstall, power off & on, log out & in, etc etc to no avail. Anyone else having this issue? I have a Samsung "Smart" TV but this does not happen

@JefferMC  Since it was installed, it's been nothing but rock solid and I'm getting 11.5 - 13 download, consistantly. I'm lucky in that there are no houses close enough to bleed over and disrupt my signal.

Trapped, frustrated, and ultimately defeated

I want to start by saying everyone I've dealt with at AT&T has been excellent. The technicians and customer service people are polite and helpful. I tip my hat to them. I'm writing to tell my sad and frustrating story with AT&T. It started years ago. I was an AT&T customer, getting 6MB DSL for $20/m

Question

The only "fix" is to not have DirecTV connected to the internet. That is the only way the bleed over can occur. They cannot access your service through the satellite.

The only way this could happen is either you are both connected to the same internet equipment, or you are in a multi dwelling unit (MDU) where one receiving dish services the building. If an MDU then you need to contact the system operator for the b

Thank you for your comment. I disagree. I won’t worry about it though. This is only one reason DirecTV will continue to bleed customers. Compare the customer service from a company such as Costco versus DirecTV. Two totally separate business seg

Why is directv blacking out all of the classic hockey games on the sports channels. There is no live hockey game because of the virus. I have NHL package and DIRECTV is blacking out classic NHL hockey games. What a joke.
