"A Tale of 2 H20s", or, "Now I'm Really Confused!"

Hi again, guys! If you've read any of my recent posts about troubleshooting my 5LNB, H20 installation, you may remember that I originally had a short in my original 5LNB feed (either one of the downcoverters or the integral multiswitch) that caused my H20-600 to fail, so that it could no longer sour

DVR working too well...

I'm sorry to see that people are having problems with DirecTV Stream's DVRs working for them but mine has started working too well. It was a pain awhile back when we could only keep 30 or so episodes of any show. When we were trying to watch Law & Order there were 3 channels which were broadca

DirecTV DVR recorded the wrong channel

My DVR recorded tonight's Bachelorette episode on a local ABC channel that I don't receive and not my local channel. The season has been set for several seasons, and it has recorded correctly up to this point. It looks like it was lined up to record it incorrectly next week as well. Why did this hap

Question

3. Not true.  I just watched the 12/11 episode of Shark Tank.  Shark Tank is a network program.  I should have said "local originated" programming is not available.

When are you going to resolve the problem with TEGNA?

When are you going to resolve the problem with TEGNA? It's disrupting my service in watching WFSS (channel 8 - ABC) in my area.  Customers should not have to deal with the petty problems between Uverse and TEGNA.  Work it out or lose a long time subscriber.

Major Networks On Demand

I have U-verse TV. I can no longer get most of the major network programs on On Demand. Tonight they listed  5 shows  AFV, Child Support, DWTS, General Hospital and Shark Tank. Granted it has been a while since I looked but now it is hardly the entire line up. What happened?

@shannon02  I lost our local ABC affiliate but was able to watch Friday's episode of Shark Tank on ABCGo with my Roku. Admittedly, I have Uverse but I can't imagine that it differs with DirecTV.

What you see is what you get.  It's not a problem exclusive to YOU.  Someone else complained about the lack of OD content from ABC.  OD content is controlled by the network and it would appear that ABC is holding back.   ETA:  There are 5 programs av

DirecTV - Leaving after 28 Years (Feedback)

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to provide feedback, or a good eMail address for DirecTV customer support, but I want to provide some feedback... I started out as a DirecTV customer in Michigan in the mid-1990s and continued service until now in 2023 through the AT&T acquisition. Over

I have ended my relationship with Direct TV and if AT&T continue their relationship with them I may be cutting my relationship with them as well. Consumers beware of Direct TV and cut the cord as quickly as possible.  Their fees, their billing practices, and the games they play remind me o
