Definitely. But we don’t know how much. 4K is supposed to be the future. It sure isn’t the present; even though DIRECTV offers a limited selection of pay-per-view movies in 4K, they don’t offer any…
It’s not even out yet, could it be obsolete? That’s the claim some are making against DIRECTV’s HR54 Genie DVR. The replacement for the popular HR44 Genie won’t be with us for some time (although we have an…
If you’re a bingewatcher you might have bumped up against the absolute link for the number of series links you can record on DIRECTV. You can set up 100 series or recurring recordings, that’s it. That’s…
