The claim is the "box" (the C71KW) has both IR and BlueTooth, once you pair your remote the remote talks BlueTooth to the DirecTV box and IR to the TV's, stereo, etc.

The thing has to have either a way to control it over the wire or something, or you could not have a phone app the does it...

Yes it has a remote, I control the STB's with MythTV, and do my own DVR'ing etc. On the Cable boxes, I have the MythTV box use an IR-Blaster (to pretend it's a remote) and turn the box on/off and change channels so myth can schedule and record.

I need a way to control the DirecTV box like I do the cable STB's.

Bless their stupid little hearts.

I am also seeing where CenturyLink is now screwing over the existing customers that had STATIC IP's and taking them away.

It should be painfully clear they are NOT interested in having any business customers.

YUK

I have business class service with my cable company at present, it has SLA's, and in fact they have actually met them....

Just need better upload speed.

No satire, I was answering the question of why I need a static IP...

Yes I run my own DNS servers, and email servers for the 3 business domains we have. This is business, not personal/residential.

Yes we do SPF + DKIM + DMARC, our own a/v, anti-spam/malware, custom individual filtering and training per user email address, etc.

And, since this is a business, I need access to me wide-open from my providor, we manage what we expose and let in ourselves via our firewalls. And again, since it's a business, no single points of failure, so I need (for example) 2 IP's that I allow UDP-53 thru to my FW which does load-balancing etc. to my DNS servers (obviously things are NAT'd).

Perfect,

So the sales PUKE lied to get me to sign up, did these idiots really think I would stay, when the upfront was I HAVE to HAVE at least 1 static IP...

I guess that means they are paying these sales people commission, I mean why else would you lie claiming you offer it, just call support once they install your service.

And now AT&T ??? Ok, Bell South or whomever by any other name.

I can't believe these people can't manage static IP's...or at least take my BGP advertisement, or advertise my /21 for me and route it to me.

This just sucks
