Getting :too many active locations" on several minis.

I spoke with "help" and after an hour, the TV's all worked. They all started again the next day. Is there a sequence that will reset all minis? I have four minis, two connected to cable and four that are wireless.

We are very frustrated.

Please help

Are you using a HR44 or a HR54 -Those only Support # minis active at any one time, The HS17-Will only Support 7 Minis at a time.

With the HR44 or HR54 -You could Swap out you Minis for a H24 The Minis Take a Tuner away from the HR'S that why Four won't work Unless one is watching recorded content if they are watching "LIVE" TV it's a No go.

If you Have a HS-17 You cannot have any other receivers Except Minis.

Hi, Lance. You can try to fix the issue by stopping the streaming and play back to one of the listed Genie Minis or Gemini. Then turn on the desired TV you want to watch. Let us know if it works through DM, we've already sent you one. Christian, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Thank You! I just spent over an hour with DirecTV. The “agent” had me do what you said. They all work now, but they won’t later. I did this process last week and the same issue returned. As far as the main box: HR44. I have six minis, two wired and four wireless. Thanks again. If you have any other information. I would be grateful.

Hi Christian:

I guarantee it will go out again later today or at the latest tomorrow. I need all new hardware. My equipment is the original setup from six years ago. The perplexing issue is that this never occurred before last week and now it’s every day. If it goes out again your company is forcing me to go to another provider. I have been a customer in three previous homes for many, many years. Look up my history. You don’t want to lose me.
