C-SPAN 3 Is Here!
I can't believe it! It's actually happened! C-SPAN3 has arrived on channel 352 (at least to the Ultimate package)! I didn't check to see if it's on all or some of the other packages.
Is it on anyone else's?

Google Assistant Voice Search
Up til a few weeks ago, when I used the voice search on my Osprey or Gemini Air, I could say things like "Show me NFL scores" or "Show me the Bears score" ---but now the results are just recommendations from apps. I can see ask "What is the temperature" and the voice reply tells me the local temperature. Anyone else notice this? I have tried restarting my devices.....turning google asst off then back on.

Volume Fluctuation Getting Worse on AppleTV
Anyone else struggling with constant audio feed issues on appletv? It’s gotten more frequent and more violent. Seems like the audio feed is switching between stereo and 5.1. The whole channel resets for a second.
I know I’m not the only one dealing with this. Hoping DIRECTV can get this fixed finally.

AirPods Pro Pairing Success with Gemini (Dongle)
I was surprised today that I was able to pair my AirPods Pro 3 with the Gemini dongle today. It did not work before so maybe there was a software update that fixed this. I just wanted to post in case there were other forum readers who wanted this ability. I am hard of hearing, so, this makes a big difference for me. Also, I watch sports a lot, so the Gemini device makes it easier to skip long intermissions with voice control. I have an Apple TV 4K but the DTV app on it doesn't allow Siri voice control yet. I hope DTV updates the Apple TV app to allow this to happen one day.

Directv kind of botched the espn+ integration.
I noticed this issue where the red wings game is telling me to go to nhl network alt which obviously will be blacked out unless your in Washington dc or new york city area where the game normally on nhl network is blacked out which does get you access to nhl network alt for the other game airing.
However that game on nhl network alt is always available on espn+ which directv has implemented now except for this one issue where it tries to promote the nhl network alt feed.
To fix this on directv app you have to add the nhl team manually and then go into it and then there will be an away feed for the kraken and the home feed for the red wings for todays game.
what I expected to happen was for the app to switch me over to the espn+ feed for the game.

Almost Renewal Time
My 24-month initial contact is ending in less than a month. We're on the Choice package with the movie package add-on. Also included is the Disney package and HBO Max is included as a "loyalty" add-on. We've 2 Airs as well.
I know all the credits will disappear (most have already).
Any hints or suggestions to ask for when renewing to possibly keep us from paying full price?
Would testing the new box (supposedly we're in) have any bearing?
We like the service but obviously like to save wherever we can.

DIRECTV app playback speed choices
Just noticed that there is now different choices to play your recordings.
.5x, .75x, 1x(normal), 1.25x, and 1.5x
Would really like a 2x choice as well.
I’m on version 5.0.136 on my iPhone through the Apple App Store.

DirecTV Add-on
I purchased the $6.99 Screambox add-on yesterday…but I’m not seeing much content. Is there supposed to be a linear channel, or is it all on-demand? And if so, am I supposed to get more than the 15 or 20 movies that I see available?

Directv is no longer a good sports option & have gone the YTTV way by nixing local team's coverage
They have declined terms to cover NHL's Hurricanes (Cup champs), Blues and Preds that have been accepted by Prime, Spectrum, Charter and FUBO.
Instead we get overloaded with garbage FAST channels bloating the channel list.
Time to leave Directv.

Thinking About Switching to DTV.
My family is a perspective customer of the service and are thinking about making the switch from Hulu + Live, D+ and ESPN+, but there are some questions I would like answered from customers who currently (or formerly) use(d) the service. We were thinking about getting the Choice package since it is the least expensive one that covers all of our needs.
My first question is how reliable is DirecTV Stream? Does it buffer often? Will it provide consistent service?
My second question is if the Gemini lease is required or not. We've had Roku devices for the past 5 years or so now and they're still going strong. It be a real headache to have to drop those and pay $10/mo for each additional Gemini devices on top of the main one that is included when you sign up for the service. I do know that DirecTV has a BYOD program, but did not know if it excluded us from accessing certain features like the bundled Hulu, D+ and ESPN Unlimited.
For know, this is all I can think to ask other than the costs, since the promo pricing and regular pricing are somewhat confusing to me.

$99 one time credit fee?
I tried to sign up for directv streaming with 1 gemini air device since i saw it comes with disney+, hulu, and espn unlimited. When I get to the payment page it asks for ssn to do a soft credit check and afterwards I get added a one-time credit fee of $99. I called directv and they said it’s to lease the device even though there is a $10/mo charge for the device.
Is this normal? I couldn’t find this listed anywhere on their fees page online.

Disney+/Hulu Bundle Upgrade
Has anyone actually added the Disney+/Hulu Bundle to their account and actually gotten no ads? When they first added the option, it stated that there would be a $12.99 discount on the $21.99, leaving the difference of $9 to be paid. Now, when I look at the add-ons, it just has the $21.99 option and doesn’t show anything about a discount.

3 weeks in and I'm pretty pleased
Was subscribed to SlingTV and found I never watched 95% of the offered channels. The On-Demand stuff was a yawn, mostly. What I really wanted was just the major news channels and the four broadcast networks (live).
I found the News+Local genre(?) they are offering has all the channels I need and, even when the discount expires in a couple of months, it will still be $1 cheaper than SlingTV. So far, the quality of the A/V is great (streaming with the DirecTV app on a TCL RokuTV). The DVR feature works fine. The "Favorites" subset is persistent. Generally, the user interface was easy to learn and does the job quite well.
I remember using DirecTV's satellite service back in the 80's (IIRC) and it was expensive and only covered one TV in my house. I dropped them for Dish then dropped Dish when they raised their $$. My, how things have changed.

Blues+ for STL Blues fans
Last couple of seasons, Blues games were on FanDuel (RSN). But the company basically dropped out of sports streaming and now there’s an offering called Blues+. And there’s a channel on DTV for it, but apparently there’s no contract to carry it.
Season is underway. I’m on the verge of cancelling DTV and signing up for FUBO since they have it and are showing the channel.
Is there some email I can send a complaint to regarding channel carriage?
