DIRECTV Equipment

Test ran on the receiver says can’t detect the swm adapter not having a spare I swapped out the lnb but same results. I took the swm adapter to another location and it works fine.

I am able to set up the Genie remote with the Roku TV (TCL 4 series S453) in that the remote works fine when in Satellite TV Mode... in that all the buttons work as expected. And when in the Roku menu however, only the volume and power on/off work from the Genie remote.  However, I am unable t

When I first got my Gemini box, the apps worked perfectly. Now, they suddenly quit loading.  I am using a WIFI connection, but I have tried a wired connection, and still nothing.  I have a very strong internet signal, and the apps load perfectly through my Shield streaming device, but not
