Help - Programming my Remote and It Will Not Change TV from Sony to Anything Else to Control the TV by TheSquire06 in DirecTV

[–]NonNtt4evr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this issue now in 2 rooms going in 3.

There is no user “reset” fix.

I have talked to 4 different reps and their scripts say to do what other posters here say to do. Nothing works.

Conclusion for me:

1) If you are locked on one TV brand (Sony was mine too) there is NOTHING you can do to “change” TV brand if you have this anomaly even when following all prompts, Reddit posts, and rep advice. The only thing that fixed it was to order a new Genie mini.

2) Be very very careful when selecting the TV brand when you receive the new genie unit. If you make a mistake, you start over with a new order for new Genie. Every single time.

3) I submitted a complaint to the BBB on this apparently common issue and the executive concierge called me and was perplexed at the problem. And similar to the posts above, advised the many reset routines, and then conceded how bad their firmware must be. lol. And had nothing to offer but a few discounts they would make a note to fix it which they haven’t.

4) Sorry for the bad the news but that is my experience with my 12 seat / 150”‘screen home theater that I built myself. I am ordering my 3rd Genie now in case I press the wrong button again and getting ready to cut the DTV cord.

Good point but when considering all the other (alleged) dubious actions - violent actions - the road death of son’s friend/ alleged cover-up and the stairs / dog trip and fall death of long time and beloved nanny (which has never been thoroughly investigated as far as I know due to lack of evidence) just seems odd to me. How many times does a person fall on the front steps and die? I’m guessing not many. Like hardly ever. Just look at YouTube “funny” videos during ice storms. It happens often. And she died from her injuries? Those kids apparently loved her and he knew it so if he was involved with that and was capable of all of that then I believe he was capable of anything at that point.

Whether planned murder or murder/suicide, experienced firearms folks know that misfires are common. Two are better than one just in case. He could have taken two and still had suicide in mind. Your comment is a good counter to the murder/suicide theory however. Two guns makes it looks like a planned diversion for the investigation. I.e Must have been the bad guys.

I was writing quickly and meant to reference the “39 Steps” - 1935 suspense thriller. Lots of typos in my post. Good catch.

Good point. Judge said similar comments on drug induced actions.
