I lose signal every night at 9:40 pm

Every night for the last 2 weeks, my gateway box goes out and I loose internet and my cable signal. All of the lights on the gateway box flash and the Broadband 1 & 2 light flashes red. The signal light disappears completely. I have to unplug the gateway box and reboot it. The first time I called AT

Question

I received this error code as well. Seems like maybe we need to cancel and go with another platform. I got this error on a local channel. It’s definitely time for me to make a change.

power overload and now directv wont connect to new tv

After plugging in a carpet cleaner in the same power strip where my directv and television were plugged in to, the vizio tv overheated and was ruined (a common problem with the brand,  i have read).We got a different tv, but the directv still will not show up. The box appears to be working just fine

Question

Nope. The invoice definitely says it’s an activation fee. And the lady who was supposed to cancel it was in customer care and not a front line agent. Sounds like Directv is all messed up and needs a reason to clean up the way they handle busine

Unauthorized charge before service

I called in to Directv looking to get service. I told her I wanted a basic package with local channels and NFL Sunday ticket. She went through her whole spiel about what it entailed. Everything sounded good until she mentioned that it was a 24 month contract while asking to authorize a charge to my

If that's a question the answer is maybe, maybe not. If it's a statement then maybe, maybe not.

Given all the the things you tried what makes you think it's an HDMI hand shake problem?  If this is a brand new just out-of-the-box set maybe the tv has a problem with it's hdmi.  Sony makes great stuff. Indeed I prefer Sony's myself.  But maybe you

New Sony BRAVIA 75" TV will NOT handshake with AT&T UVerse...

We just bought a new 4K 75" TV and got home to find out that the AT&T UVerse will not handshake with the TV.  I have tried the usual gambit of suggestions after reading forums, including... -checking HDMI cables-ensuring HDMI cable and TV input match-swapping and trying every different HDMI connecti

Why is closed captioning missing on all CBS dvr recordings?

For 3 weeks closed captioning has been missing on all CBS dvr recordings and only CBS. All dvr recordings from other channels show closed captioning.  Closed captioning works on live CBS.  I deleted all CBS series recordings and set them back up.  Still no closed captioning.  An

@azgolfa no worries - the issue you are reporting is frustrating.  We have both the Ruko and Apple TV. I can't say that I've noticed it with Apple TV, but definitely with the Ruko app.  I am using it without a soundbar and have seen it on

Accounts credited when showing channels for free when you already have those channels and maybe lose KHOU.

Why does DIRECTV/ATT not give credit to accounts that already pay to have the channels when they are shown for free. Good example is this past Thanksgiving for 11/26/20 thru 11/29/20 for those 4 days.  You should give customers that already pay for those channels when they are free a credit on
