default setup
Good Morning How to I set a specific setup as default? It is a pain to have to go thru setup every time I put my older receiver, 24, in the rv.

Close Captioning/Subtitles Stopped Working
I upgraded my equipment in November and received a HR54 with other devices. Since I have received the HR54, the Close Captions and DirecTV Subtitles gradually stop messaging after about a week, resetting the box (and the entire network of the house) is the only way to fix the CC/Subtitle issue, alth

Equipment update
I have a HR34-700 receiver currently. I’m going to be getting a new 4k TV soon and was wondering if I would need to update/upgrade my receiver? I have read that you can get equipment upgraded or updated every so often. Is this true?

Gemini disappointment
Got the new dtv Gemini upgrade for free with extending my contract. This replaced a genie mini 4k that was sent back when Gemini came in. The Gemini is trash.
