DTV Retaining Customers?Wed, 22 Jan 2025 18:53:04 +0000
https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/dtv-retaining-customers.408914/
408914invalid@example.com (Wobble)WobbleIn January of 2024, DTV Satellite, retained me as a customer, having the Ultimate Package, for the same rate I was paying in 2023. I did not like the 2 rate increases that occurred. Years b/4 it was one rate increase per year. We will see for 2024, what rate increases will occur, due new contract negotiations. If only a $10 mo. rate increase, I will live with that.
I wish I was a new subscriber today, for the same Ultimate package with a 2 year contract, at a much reduced price. We...

https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/is-gemini-worth-it-email-claiming-free-upgrade.411669/
411669invalid@example.com (cypherstream)cypherstreamI recieved an email today from DirecTV claming the perks of the Gemini with a nice looking voice remote, Google apps I guess, etc... They claim its a free upgrade offer but the fine print does say that its a 12 month commitment.
I just have one HR-44 and then we have 3 Roku's and 1 Apple TV running the DirecTV app. Were happy with the setup and everything works fine. Is there any real reason to consider the Gemini? I mean all of our TV's can already do apps. The one with the HR-44 is a...

https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/stream-app-bug.414124/
414124invalid@example.com (lordodogg)lordodoggMy DirecTV app just had a bug somehow and now I am seeing channels that nobody else is supposed to be seeing in the guide. They all look to be the test channels featured on the “ENGR” section of the TPN Map. I cannot tune to any of those channels, and I am also seeing PPV channels, SD versions of channels, and infomercial channels. I can still tune to what I actually can tune to through the app, however. This is all with the filter on the app set to “Streaming” as I am a satellite customer...

https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/local-channel-mapping-duplicates.413964/
413964invalid@example.com (harrisburgpatv)harrisburgpatvAfter nearly 10 years of having "moved" to get other locals, I finally "moved" to where the dish is actually installed to get my true locals. However, four channels are showing up twice in the guide with different numbers. WGAL on 4 and 8, WPMT on 5 and 43, WHTM on 7 and 27, and WHP on 9 and 21. The single-digit numbers are the duplicates. Why would this be?]]>2Touching coax cable causes signal loss?Thu, 26 Dec 2024 04:32:04 +0000
https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/touching-coax-cable-causes-signal-loss.413838/
413838invalid@example.com (lordodogg)lordodoggI got a slight static shock after touching the coax cable coming into my HR44-700 receiver. The picture of the channel playing (through both Gemini boxes, as the HR44 is headless) then froze up.
I then tried changing to other channels, and got either a black screen or the 771 SignalSaver error.
Signal meters show 0’s on every satellite.
Weather is not an issue.
Tried unscrewing the coax cable and screwing it back in, still no signal.
Is it possible my setup is not grounded to protect against...

413795invalid@example.com (lordodogg)lordodoggSince at least last Sunday, WOLF/56, the Fox affiliate in Scranton, PA, has been pixelating periodically on both their DirecTV satellite and streaming feeds.
At one point, it even pixelated so bad, a black screen saying "We are sorry for the interruption of service, there is no need to call us." even appeared for a few seconds.
I am assuming it is some kind of interference issue at the LRF.]]>10I just got DirecTV satellite. What should I expect?Thu, 26 Dec 2024 00:17:09 +0000

413618invalid@example.com (CSM)CSMI saw this at DTV's Facebook page. I contacted that Android TV box site that shows the latest and upcoming TV provider boxes, and he thought it was probably an A.I. generated image. The remote doesn't have channel numbers. Also, the UI looks different and is in some language I don't know.
