I find that if mine is doing this (never as slow as the OP describes though) that if I make sure to turn off the box for the night and not just my TV it is better the next day.


Maybe I'll try this. I rarely turn the box off.

Box model and remote setting matter. I have the 24 models and use infrared and rarely have this issue. Bro in law has 23 model and RF remotes and his happens a lot. He had to order a new remote; Dtv said he "had the wrong kind" or some bullshyt but he did't have to pay for it cause of maintenance contract.

It's still better than cox. They suck. I feel sorry for people with cox.

Anyone figure out how to get sunday ticket for free?

Yes, I do.

But my box is 2 years old and I got it before it they rolled out the newer upgrades.

This is probably the worst thing about Directv (besides the 24 month contracts). They ask if it the boxes are all equivalent, but the 24 box is much better than the 21/22/23. If you're lucky enough to sign up and get a 24 and it breaks then they'll send you a refurbed 23 and you'll be miserable.

Maybe once in a while.

I changed the batteries in the remote and it's fine now.
