@GabeU  After disconnecting DirecTV, I have used less than 500MB of anytime data since thursday.  @MarkJFine  after watching FoxNews, my eyes were closed before 10 mins.   ... View more

@GabeU  I first turned Off SSID enable for all the wi-fi. I noticed that DirecTV was still trying to connect and was being disabled but then reinabled every few minutes in the log. So I decided to reboot the w-fi. The warnings said the settings would not be changed.    I went to the livingroom to the TV and Ran internet setup. The info was still there, next re-set network connections. After running the test equipment, Genie told me an error message and said "It must be YOUR router, call Y OUR manufacturer" Hey I was getting somewhere! Ran internet setup again and sure enuf all the IP addresses and Gateways were gone and  There is RECONNECT NOW after the word Settings in the menu. YEA!   Now I cant watch TV on my smart phone and On Demand wont work.   oh pooh couldnt stream very well anyway   ... View more

@GabeU  I had to work some to get the HR54/200 Genie to forget about the old network.  I may have done something to the router. After restarting the Wi-Fi  (  >Administration>Reboot) I think the date on the System log has changed. Mine Now says Dec 31 19:50:07.  it's UTC    10:52 EDT What Date do you have? ... View more

I was gonna ask about that. I guess I'll find out when I turn my tv on. My phone is relentless too. After the last phone update, It started to send me two notifications every 5 minutes. One for No Data connection, and one for No Service connection.  I FIXED THAT.  i TURNED on airplane mode every time I come into my house.  I already knew I was out of cell coverage.    I tried to re-set network for the genie, It didnt WANT to be set because wi-fi was already working. It isn't NOW. (heh heh) we'll see and I'll let ya know ... View more

The HR54/200 Genie, after the update, the "settings" became very unfriendly.  I didn't setup ethernet to the receiver so it first looks for wi-fi signals (cant stop if from doing that)  SO I can change my password, so that the DirecTV HR54/200 Genie  will be declined access.  Dam wi-fi Moochers. I'll cut em off!!!!     ... View more

@GabeU wrote: @kitnbob    If you already know that you're no longer in a contract, call them and ask them if you aren't.  .........   Pre AT&T DirecTV would have either just been honest about the issue, or they would have replaced my existing Genie for free to try to make me happy.  ..............I was very happy with them and would have recommended them to my family and friends, and I did.  Not today.  No way. I think I had the dish moved in March, 2 years ago.   So I guess I have a few month left of the contract for HD service.   The old DVR was failing, the tree branches were obstructing, so it was time for an upgrade after at least 11 years . Am I a loyal customer or what. I had the old DVR replaced (for free) once already, it wasn't even called a "genie",   so I got a free install and a new HD DVR,   Then (look out) ATT&T took over. No problems so far ( 18 months) cept the last  software revision came out last month   Ox114b for the  HR54/200 Genie I have heard of complaints about graphics and fonts.   My only problem is I find NO way of turning OFF the Wi-fi access to to the HT2000 .  And I'm down to my last (1MB token)  ...

@kitnbob wrote:   Looks to me like  I needed 64 MB and they gave me CHANGE back from a  3000 MB Token.   @GabeU  Always gives thoughtfull replies, which I was not expecting for this silly post. The time of day does have bearing on when FAP occurs. I Do know I enter my  Bonus Zone data before you do Gabe. I find that the graphs provided with the Usage meter are not as accurate as the ones found in myHughesNet> My Account> Usage.  The Usage meter graphs (my snips) are rounded up or down ie; "Tokens Remaining" 5.9 GB rather than 5936 MB. Because I used data from two different sources, It looks odd, "Head scratcher"   In the old days, instead of "Billing cycle" 11 Days remaining I used to read something like  10 days, 13 hours and 44 mins. Back then, we could watch it to the very end, and resume our download. Kinda like waiting for the last 15 seconds to increase my bid in an EBay auction. 🙂 ... View more

Gabe, I see what you did. @GabeU wrote: @maratsade           Wow, that's just plain odd.   is to set the "Composing" preference to Text instead of HTML, regardless of whether the General preference is Ajax or HTML.  Something's definitely goofy.
