I would but I need the C61K for 4K viewing.

Is your TV a DirecTV 4K RVU TV? In which case you don't need the C61K.

I as under the impression that only Samsung has a RVU TV. I have a Sony 75x850c

Replacing the 61K with the 61 might help but here's the thing. I switched carriers because Directv told me that this set up was the best there was and the 54/61K combo would provide me with two stunning 4K channels. I think that as a consumer I have the right to certain performance expectations. I left Dish, which performed perfectly as advertised. I went with Directv because of better PQ and 4K.

It's not Samsung only anymore but I don't have the list of others either.

Use your main remote (RMT-TX100U) Upper left hand corner hit input and scroll down you will even see the Direct TV logo.
Thats the RVU part of your TV and apps.

Has that improved? I remember seeing posts about the RVU being slower than the client and even less reliable...

 

[texasbrit]

Reports are that newer TVs with faster processors are at least as good as the C61K, maybe faster.

When I scroll down to the Directv Ready icon he Directv area is not highlighted. When I click on it I get the following message. "There is no RVU server in your network. To enjoy receiver-less TV with Directv go to directv.com /RVU for more information. Do I need to turn this feature on and if so how do I do it.

When I scroll to my RVU icon, it wants me to put in a PIN number like I am hooking up a client. This is with a HR44.

the coax that was connected to the c61k needs to connect to a deca instead, then the ethernet connection from there needs to go to the TV. plus a power source for the deca (dont use the TV USB port, did that once, so much headache). then the PIN screen should come up.

 

[dishcomm]

all these headaches for two channels. Aye aye aye....

There are many issues reported with the D* clients. While not exactly the same, I think it's safe to say that there are many bugs and issues with the clients and their connection to the main unit and their handling of recorded material and switching resolutions. They know about it but don't seem to care. All they care about now is stupid Directv Now.

I personally enjoy my directv now service. $35 a month with no contract. No DVR, it's $35, can't stream more than 2 tvs, it's $35. It's actually a much better option than paying $100+ a month for other providers. I can watch when I want and don't need a receiver.

No DVR is unacceptable for any form of pay TV in 2016-17.

 

[Claude Greiner]

Yeah, you'd have to go without. How much is there, really? The 4K clients are worse than the HD clients so you'd likely see some fuctionality improvement. But if you're going to do that, an HR2X is the best option. No 4K, but it would actually work!

My 4k client works just fine

You mean for your purposes, yes?

You are also an installer and know what you're doing. Being an installer, you must know that these issues are widespread. The "my works fine so it's not an issue" posts get old quickly for those with the problem.

For most people, yes.

I had some initial problems installing a few of them, but no complaints from customers either.
