Weekly Analysis for mar 12, 2025:

That hasn't shown up in the satellite APG data as of tonight (Friday).

If Stuart is correct, and he probably is, you don't need to change the C61. I am just going from memory. I replaced my C61K with a Gemini two years ago. All of my RC65 remotes have been put in the electronic recycling bin. There a combination of buttons to reset the remote to defaults...

I believe he C61 uses the "peanut remote" (RC71-RC73). The RF on those is different than he old RC66. You have to set the C61 and the RC66 to use IR.

The typical SWM power inserter is 21 Volts. That allows for voltage drop in coax and splitters to ensure at least 18 V at the LNB. I am told that the PI for the SWM 8 and Swm 16 switches, which I believe was 29V, works also. The SWM LNB is pretty tolerant of the input voltage, aas long as...

If the SWM power is good, I would suspect a bad coax connection somewhere. Most techs I have watched would approach a 10 year old installation by cutting off all the coax connectors and putting on new compression connectors (not crimp connectors).

Yes, you can test the SSM power supply output for the DC output voltage. That's more likely than a bad LNB.

Your diagnosis is correct. Do you have any SWM switches? If you just have splitters, trace the power through port 1 (red port) of any splitter in the path from the SWM power supply to the LNB. Reseat all the coax connections. The SWM power should be 18 to 25 volts between the center and...

Well the certificate expiration date has passed, and I have heard nothing about anyone who encountered a problem.

I'm the one who moves back and forth every 6 months, for the past 14 years. But I paid for a truck roll to install the second dish at our summer home because my account was less than a year old., duplicating the installation so that I can just unplug the receivers and plug them in again at...

This comes from DIRECTV via the Cutting Edge Forum: They have discovered a problem that affects any satellite STB that is connected to the Internet. It affects VOD, ScoreGuide, interactive apps and other content delivered over the Internet to Satellite receivers, starting at 12pm Pacific time...

I threatened to cancel DIRECTV satellite last year. Talking to their retention people, I got the channels that I need with the Entertainment package plus sports pack. That doesn't include any live Pro sports (unless they are on the ESPN channels, or FOX, ABC, CBS or NBC). I just wanted local...

I remember B&W TV too.

So does any streaming device. The Gemini is an Android OS (Google OS?) streaming device which has an app that serves as a Genie client. It boots up in that client and returns to it when you push DirecTV client buttons on your remote. But a wired Gemini can use the MOCA network to get its...

While the CCID may be used by the apps, signal saver, and streaming, the CCID existed before any of those things.

I suspect they are used to configure your receiver as to what channels you are authorized for. We have not found anything in the APG records that links an individual channel to a package. And some LIL channels are only available in some narrow geographic areas. So they have to have a way to...

They conceivably could go back to before DIRECTV implemented their Advanced Program Guide (APG) structure.

While we only recently acquired the ability to extract the CCID value from APG binary data, it has always been there, at least as far back as we have saved binary files. The first binary file recordings we have saved are from July 25, 2012, 12 and a half years ago. The interesting thing is...

The author of the software we use to extract data from the structured binary APG data recently added the ability to extract the CCID. We have been coordinating the rest of our software to handle it consistently. When Gary gets todays TPN map ready, the CCID field should be on the entries...

Sorry for the late reply, As of a few weeks ago, my account is now at Directv.com. The account was removed from ATT.com in the past few weeks. Perhaps other account migrations contributed to the problem.

I just tried it and had no problem.

For commercial accounts, you might want to look into the H26 receiver. We don't know much about it as residential customers, but that is the latest commercial receiver.

If you are on the National Release software, they have been rolling out 0x1B7A, replacing 0x1B18, in the early morning hours over the past month. That would have caused a reboot which would clear your future guide. As of today, all H44s and HS17s have been upgraded, while the rest of the...
