I see there has been other post on the same thing. I haven't been on here for a long time now. I haven't had any problems for the last two years. NO in the last three weeks and four phone calls i am not getting any help for directv. whats up. its takes 30 sec to a min to change channels or move up and down on the guide. it does happen all the time but its still a pain. My first call i was informed it was a software problem and they was working it. the third day after that call i was still having problems so i called back and was told there would be software update that would fix the problem. On july 7 i got the update everything worked ok for a half a day LOL. i called back and they reset the box and change some things in the set up. Two days ago i got mad and called back and asked for a new rec she told me they weren't sending out new boxs because its a software issure and they are working on it. I have been paying for the protection plan for 2 years now and never used it. whats going on. Is there someone else i can talk to or will i have to call everyday. I just don't know why they can't fix problem or just send out a repair guy or new box. if anyone else is having the same problem and now your rec is working let me know what you did ok.
