Ingress profile of 3SD/1HD?

Five days after new installation of VIP1225, I couldn't get two HD shows to record at the same time. So I looked for an answer in this forum. I found references to  ingress profiles of 2SD/2HD and 1SD/3HD, but nowhere a reference to 3SD/1HD. I then looked at my ingress profile, and it's 3SD/1HD. Why

We are in Atlanta Metro and have five firestick devices, 2 "HD" Firesticks, 3 new 4K devices. Everything had worked fine with uninterrupted service for about 6 months, since I discovered another user lurking in my account and changed the password back then.  Then about a week ago, constant pro

Newsmax* Censorship

I have been a loyal customer for as long as DirecTV has existed. If Newsmax is not restored by the end of next week, my subscription will be cancelled.

Lost detail on daily & weekly programs.

When I hit the info button on the remote, I expect to see the topics & guests on a show. No longer does that appear for Dr oz, steve harvey or real time with bill maher among others. You're taking away my choice to make an informed decision. Why?

Gemini issues = I'm so frustrated

We have had the worst issues with our Gemini devices. I have spent hours upon hours on the phone with Directv and our internet provider AT&T. You blame each other. I absolutely regret leaving Xfinity. What a bust this is. I wish I could get out of this contract!!!!

The DirecTV/ATT technician (contractor) installed a new GENIE 2 with 4 C41W-500 receivers yesterday.  The technician NEVER asked me for our home WIFI network name NOR PASSWORD.  Also, he DID NOT connect an ETHERNET cable to the back of the GENIE 2.  So, the question is "HOW DID THE TECHNICIAN CONNEC

DIRECTV dropping OANN?

How could you bow down to the WOK cancel culture demands to dropping OANN? They do not lie!  The "big lie of the 2020 election" is absolutely true. There is mountains of evidence of the election steal. All the misinformation comes from liberals not conservatives!  My husband and I will be
