MyFree Directv

Hello, canceled DIRECTV a few years ago and just saw there’s a new free version. I see that I can stream it online but I’m wondering if it will work with my old satellite dish and receiver and just wondering if I can do it that way because I don’t have internet where it’s set-up. Thanks

On genie air box/remote is there no way to recover a deleted recording, or to even access the recording manager.?

Changing DIRECTV HR24/500 Aspect Ratio

I have tried to change the Aspect Ratio on my HR24 to 16:9, instead of 4:3. I can change it on the TV Ratio screen, but after I leave that screen and choose TV Ratio again, it flips the ratio back to 4:3 by itself. It will not allow my change to 16:9 to stay as I choose. What is going on??
