Haunted House

My receiver automatically changes channels, adjusts volume, and more or less whatever it feels like doing...even with batteries removed from the controls. Any ideas? This makes watching television impossible, and occasionally makes me cuss loudly.

DVR recording unwanted programs

I've had an issue recently with losing DVR recordings because programs I don't need to record are recording anyway. Certain programs that I have set to "First-Run Only" are recording re-airs of episodes I've already deleted. Also, sporting events that I record when they first air are re-airing l

Boomerang -suggestions for cartoons

Because “people” know what they’re talking about. If you’ve read those instructions, follow them.  To the letter.  Using Uverse hardware is not like playing with lego blocks you can mix and match to create something functional.  Also,

😂. Don't you know the TV providers can contact people on live TV? Especially if it's news because that's live... Like real people.   As opposed to Hollywood plastic people.

Why are my paranormal shows gone?

My paranormal shows are gone! They were on Destination America and then Travel Channel.  When I turned on my TV this morning they were gone.  I want my shows back!  Ghost Adventures, Ghost Nation, Haunted Highways and more.  This is why I chose the channel I did!  Let me kn

Genie mini turns off for 1 minute at 5:51a.m.

Genie mini box turns off for a minute at 5:51a.m., and then turns back on.  Had the box replaced, but new one does the same. Something to do with a setting on the main DVR box? It's a problem because if I just turn off the TV at night, leaving the Genie on, when it cycles  (at 5:51a.m.), and turns o

OK, did that. No difference. The cut-outs are more frequent if anything. Seemingly this is either a malfunction in the DVR hard disk or software, or some kind of diabolical copy-protection scheme enforced by Hollywood to make sure no one can make qua

DVR Recording Quality

My DVR skips a second or two of whatever it is recording on a frequent basis, every one to three minutes. This is consistent across all channels I have recorded, occurs for the full length of the program, and has been going on for a long time. Mostly i record news programs, and losing a second or tw

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

Any Way to Backup Hard Drive?

I just had my DVR fail. Some component inside literally caught fire, and toxic smoke poured out and filled the room. To add insult to injury, I have lost hundreds of hours of irreplaceable programming, something that I was never told when I got the DVR. Isn't the point of a DVR to accumulate program
