Purchased movie glitches
I just purchased my first movie for my granddaughter to watch but it keeps freezing/glitching like it was recorded during a storm. I’ve tried deleting and re-recording as well as resetting my main receiver and then re-recording and nothing changed.

Santa tracker
I really hope the Santa tracker comes back this year, it was a stable to my family's Christmas for years and we were so sad that it was unavailable last year so please bring it back because I know I am not the only one who wants it back.

The mini in our Living Room is no longer connecting through WiFi to our "base station". It has worked for years. On Tuesday of this week (November 18, 2025), we called technical support and after "troubleshooting" (which included the technician wanting us to test the WiFi on a wired device), the tec
