DirecTV Fuckery

[Dana]

Anyone had issues with their DirecTV freezing up on them every minute? It used to when it snowed or rained but it hasn't done it in a year or two now its doing it to me on clear days... And only me. My parents are on the same dish in their apartment and they're fine...

 

[Darrell]

No, actually. Today it was raining and I didn't have any problems. Did you try to do a hard re-boot of your receiver?

 

[GoldDust Woman]

Sounds like you need to call tech support. Do you pay insurance so that if you require a service call, or replacement parts, you won't get charged?

I love my DirectTv.

is your coax getting pinched?...is it in water?..or frozen? how long is the run?..how many splitters?...check the cod damn cable

 

[Dana]

Yes I did. It'll stop during the day which is weird

 

[Darrell]

Did you just turn it off and back on or did you pull the plug out of the wall, and let it sit for a few mins?

 

[Codrus]

get a large pitcher of water....















pour it liberally on the receiver :jk

I opened it and pushed the reset button. Even took the card out.

We had an issue last year. They ended up having to replace the receiver, no charge.

I would advise switching to DISH NETWORK

Maybe thats what will have to happen.

Have you checked your co-ax cable ,...do you know how to use an ohm meter?

nope...

splitters, length of coax cable run are usual problems with this and even with cable

I have Comcast and I must say i do love it! whether it is rain/snow/or whatever... it keeps working

We did have a problem in the last place we were at where there was a single line feeding the entire town home so there were splitters upon splitters which degraded internet connectivity and usual freezing fits with the HD channels, but since moving, i couldnt be happier!

I just dont want to deal with the intermittent outages from time to time depending on the weather... LOL
