How to find out my direct tv receiver address?
I downloaded a free direct TV remote for my Android cell phone, they ask for your receiver address, but I don’t know it or how to find it to add the receiver to the app. Its for my moms direct tv, we want this extra remote, so that’s why I downloaded the free remote on my phone. We just don’t know the receiver address. It is in numbers only, no letters.
Nagesh answers:
On your DirecTV receiver, using your remote, go to Menu then Settings & Help. Then click on Network Setup and Network Services. Your IP address should be shown. You can also go to Advanced Setup whereupon your receiver will build all of your default settings (it might take a minute or two to build).

How to get digital antenna to work with Direct TV?
We recently got Direct TV but we are unable to get local channels in my area. We have the NFL package but can’t watch nationally televised games. We bought a digital antenna by RCA. We can’t get it to work though. None of our tvs are digital but if we hook it through the Direct TV box it should be able to work. But it doesn’t. We have a digital tv as our computer monitor and tried to use it but it wouldn’t work either. And we don’t have the remote. Any ideas on how to fix this before the game tomorrow?
Nagesh answers:
You either need an HD model with an ATSC tuner built in, or the ATSC acessory tuner.
Or find the remote for your digital TV.
You likely will need a better antenna than you bought.

My Direct tv remote will work with the tv but not the receiver?
At first my remote worked with the receiver (I could change channels and use the guide). I used a code provided on the direct tv website so that I could control the tv too (volume, power). Now my control only controls the tv.
I used another remote we have for another tv and it worked. So I know its not the receiver. Is there anyway I can fix the remote?
Nagesh answers:
You have to program the remote control to learn the commands of your receiver. You will need the code for that also. Hope this will help you out.

How do you select favorite channels on Direct TV?
Direct TV has about 500 channels available. However, only about 100 of those channels are in my plan and I have to flip through all of them to look for something to watch.
Can anyone help me figure out how to program my favorite channels? I called Direct TV and they said the new remotes do not allow for this feature, because people would skip the PPV channels. I tried setting up the connection directly through my VCR, but there was no signal. I also tried connecting to VCR and DVD players after the signal goes through the DTV box, however, I am not able to change the channel.
Any ideas?

Sorry is not possible
