Its almost a little to much...almost.

So I have been absolutely loving the switch to directv so far.

In central Florida we are having like a tsunami all weekend of rain and wouldn't you know it, right before kickoff the tv is out.

I'm getting the 771 message for the last hour or so.

Can I call and complain or can it be fixed or am I SOL?? can't be missing games on Saturday AND Sunday.

Screw you guys and "weather has never been a problem for my directv."

Looks like I'll be heading to the bar to watch football all day, fuckers

FIFA time!!

be home by 2

I was trying to gather the club together as well.

About to call them and get something free. Unacceptable for a college football Saturday!!!

Have had direct tv for years, and maybe I can count on one hand having weather issues

It is one of the worst rain weekends we have had here in a while, but still!!!

On college football Saturday!!

I did realize the local channels still work so I get Tex/ou and the canes at 3:30 so not all bad.

Only time I had major issues is when we had the worst blizzard in 50 years in the Oklahoma panhandle, we were without power for 2 weeks, but dude not may other times after that though really

Yea it hasn't stopped raining here for like 12 hours straight and it's still out.

I may call them and try to get something free

All the years of having DirecTV, never had a weather problem. May be it is because I live in the desert, with hardly any rain...

I might not be a good example of problems with weather.

I've had thunderstorms take it offline 2x, and snow 2x...but have had it for 12 years...so that seems pretty good.

To take advantage of the "on Demand" I have to be connected to the internet. Problem is my receiver is upstairs and my router is downstairs, Direct Tv said i could rent one of there wireless products, but can I go somewhere and by the product that is needed instead of renting it?

How new is the install? If it is recent tell them they were supposed to set it up when they installed it and they'll come back and do it for free. If you have whole home dvr they need to set it up anyways. It will screw up your whole home dvr if you try and do it yourself. I would go ahead and buy their wireless connector or have them run a cable to your dvr. I got mine from them and it isn't a rental.
There are couple products you can buy if you dont have WHD and the directv people will tell you which ones they are. I asked about them a while back but don't remember the product numbers now. I've heard the linksys extreme-n wireless gaming adaptor works great.

Loving this new interface and menu look.

Much faster and looks purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty.

Any directv guys ever get the SWM771A error?

Came out of nowhere and not sure why after I've googled i don't understand half of what the fix should be.

Will call them but wanted to check with the ndl experts fjrst.

I have never seen that error but the swm in it leads me to believe it is something with the swim box.
I didnt look it up in google yet.

It started yesterday afternoon and then at night it worked.

Woke up this morning and it was doing it again.

Called and they are having someone come out Monday. They said the same thing faulty swm probably
