It’s just such a little thing… and I’ve been hoping for it for a decade. DIRECTV’s DVRs don’t have a “Mark Unwatched” setting. To be fair, I don’t think any pay-TV DVRs do. So, if you…
Time to fire up those DVRs again! DIRECTV is running a free preview of its HD Extra Pack today through October 11. The HD Extra Pack was originally created for channels that have no SD…
Yeah, it seems a little questionable, that’s true. DIRECTV asks a lot of personal questions when you sign up, including your social security number. You might be asking yourself why, and we wouldn’t blame you. Identity…
This is the DIRECTV HR20i DVR. It looks just like any other HR20 or HR21 DVR. Some were silver and some black. The difference: If you look in the back, you’ll see no satellite input. The HR20i was…

I’ve been hearing this one for about 3 years. Supposedly, DIRECTV will be so completely swallowed by AT&T that even the name will go away. People say it will be changed to “AT&T TV” or something…
Don’t miss this important step. If you’re adding a DIRECTV 4K Genie Mini Client (C61K) to your home system, make sure it’s compatible with your TV before activating it. If there’s a problem, it’s a lot…
Don’t you hate when you’re in a sports bar and you can’t get the game you want? Or if you’re in a restaurant and the channel selection is positively obnoxious? You ask someone to change the…
