    DirecTV Genie Redesigned Menus

    You know what I noticed and it’s not a big deal, but it’s more consistency issue with the UI. The guide has a dark gray background and all of the other menus have a navy blue background. It’s kind of bizarre from a design standpoint. I wonder if there’s any plans for the guide screen itself...

    DirecTV Genie Redesigned Menus

    Our HR-44 got the new menu today. I like it, my wife doesn’t. For years she hits menu and scrolls down to the recordings which now is a horizontal box art. She’s like where’s the list, I just want a top down list. I said try the button that says list on it. Voila, there it is. I’ve only...

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    When the hard drive in the HR44 dies, I will use that as an opportunity to make changes. Its only inevitable. I raid my data drive on my PC but obv cant do that on a DVR. Theres just a lot of content and settings that we'll hang on to until its deathbed. In incognito mode, the link works...

    Max logon not working

    I tried AT&T and DirecTV. Both take me to the same place. My stored credentials work for both. But once authenticated and in, the page redirects to that. I'm seeing a lot of other similar posts on DirecTV official forums. Apparently there's some kind of outage going on.

    Max logon not working

    Anyone experiencing issues logging into the streaming app Max? I go to log in, choose DirecTV as the provider, successfully authenticate, but then it says it can’t verify subscription. All the HBO linear channels are working just fine. Tried on iPhone, AppleTV and LG WebOS.

    "1080i Not Supported"

    if you only choose 1080p or 4k, does the receiver upscale everything to 1080p or 4k (based on content) for you?

    Oh there is a a big yellow button in the email "Order Online" but there is also a phone number under the text that says "Don't have an online account? Create one now". I'll likely leave it be until the HR44 dies.

    Right I would have used it in colocation mode with a short ethernet cable from the genie to it, putting the genie on wireless.

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    I clicked the link in the email for the free upgrade and on the computer it opens a new tab that closes right away. I copy the link and paste it in a new tab and it takes me to AT&T’s log in which I do and then I’m just at the account center. I tried clicking on the link in my iPhone and it...

    DirecTV Genie Redesigned Menus

    I did CE when it was at the other site from 2010 to maybe 2016ish? Glad its still working out for you guys. Enjoy... I've taken time off to just have a stable platform since we just have one receiver now and the wife just asks for stability. I can appreciate a safe and staggered rollout...

    DirecTV Genie Redesigned Menus

    Last night I checked and I have firmware 0x1ab8 dated Wed 7/10, on an HR44. I haven’t checked if the new menu came today or not. I don’t recall seeing any ads for it either, I’m in PA so not sure when the east coast gets the rollout.

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    Yeah there’s a storage option in the settings menu that let you remove or move apps from one storage device (internal) to another (usb). I deleted some and moved some to USB stick. I think the tv has a paltry 4GB internal and if the OS Google TV already takes up about 2.1GB of that, there’s...

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    I found the review here HANDS ON REVIEW: DIRECTV Gemini Internet-Enabled Genie Client - The Solid Signal Blog Sorry to be a pest, one more question…. How much internal memory does it have for Google play store apps? What I found with my TV it comes with very little memory. Early on I had to...

    DirecTV Genie Redesigned Menus

    I’ve looked in the delivery methods and although my Internet is 100% rock solid stable at 600mbps down, the price to go to Internet deliver costs more actually. With Sattelite I can call every year and get on a deal. Plus we still have the $25 off and free HBO Max with my wife’s AT&T cell...

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    If Google play store is available then this might be a good offer. My 65” Sony x900h is a 2020 model I believe and when we first got it activated in January 2021 it was lightning fast. But now over the years it’s gotten much slower. Like I said before Paramount+ doesn’t even play. I can...

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    Oh and is Paramount+ on Gemini? I can’t get anything Paramount+ to play at all on my Sony Google TV. I can’t even airplay it or cast from the iPhone paramount plus app. It just spins and spins. I think they use a codec Sony just can’t recognize.

    Can the apps on the Gemini do 4k like Netflix and YouTube?

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    I would consider the co located option. Assuming it works with the HR44. Yeah I can install it, I do IT for a living. If I can wire up cabinets in the datacenter and configure networking, routing, vlans, storage arrays and servers- this would be cake. Right now my HR44 is Ethernet connected...

    Is Gemini worth it? Email claiming free upgrade.

    I 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...

    New Genie Menus Coming in July

    I saw the pic b4pjoe posted and it looked just like what I use on roku and Apple TV with the logos. I didn’t notice Scott’s attachment. We’ll see how people react to the change whenever it’s done. I personally like the recordings in a traditional list format. I’d really like to see the 4k...

    New Genie Menus Coming in July

    I’m surprised if the HR44 can run the same menus as the DirecTV streaming app, with all the logos. I see they just updated the apps “home” page on AppleTV and Google TV after its introduction on Roku a few months ago. I really like the app and if they could bring that to the HR44 that would even...

    Stream - New software?

    It’s a shame because it’s the best picture quality in the house. I have the LG C2 OLED and there’s even a newer one out, the C3, and also more expensive G3. Just remarkable displays. Heck even now the HDR really pops on this Thursday night football game via Amazon Prime Video. I spend 90% of...

    Stream - New software?

    Thats really shortsided of app developers. Its the best looking TV in my house. Can go on youtube and search for OLED test videos. Its remarkable, especially like OLED starfields or that black background with the honey stick. The black is 100% black. The color is so vibrant. The LG OLED...
