The DIRECTV Genie 2 server is very reliable. It's going to be very rare that you need to reboot it. Still, it is a computer, and no matter how reliable there are going to be cases when it's necessary.

How to reset your Genie 2 - The Solid Signal Blog It's not often that AT&T's hardware really needs to be rebooted, but with the new Genie 2, it's a little confusing trying to figure out how to do it.

"Hey, kids, let's go on a road trip!" Seemed like a good idea at the time. Pile the fam in the car and let's go see the world. Only one problem: bored kids locked in the back seat are going to misbehave. It's a tale as old as time, I'm telling you.

One option for keeping the kids occupied is live TV.

There’s nothing like heading out on a road trip. They promise freedom, discovery, and a break from the routine. Maintaining a constant connection on a road trip can sometimes be a challenge, especially when you venture into areas with weak or no cell phone signal. This is where a cell phone booster for vehicles come in handy.

Are you a TV antenna fan? I don't blame you. Most areas have over 50 different channels available that are not carried by any satellite or cable service. Generally all it takes is a TV antenna to receive these signals for free. But, reception is only one part of the package, at least here in the 2020s.

Where can you get a DIRECTV Local Channel Connector (LCC?) - The Solid Signal Blog I'd love to say you could get one from Solid Signal.

You know that somewhere, probably in your garage, you have a pile of old cables. And if you've been in the home theater hobby long enough, that probably includes 15-20 coaxial cables of different types. Possibly more. You know it's expensive and you don't want to just toss it, so you keep it because you're sure you'll use it sooner or later. But is that really the best idea?

Should you reuse old coaxial cable? - The Solid Signal Blog It sounds like a good idea but...

Not everyone has the luxury of putting up an outdoor antenna. Outdoor TV antennas are pretty amazing things. Considering that they are, in essence, metal sticks on poles, it's just amazing that they can receive incredibly weak signals that originated dozens of miles away.

Take a look at the antenna at the top of this article. It's our Xtreme Signal HD8200XL, the biggest TV antenna made for consumer use. It's also a bit time consuming to set up. I know, I did it for this video. It's so big that some homeowners associations won't even let you put it up. And, although I like its old-school bare metal look, a lot of people say it's big and ugly.

Why would you want a big ugly antenna like this one? - The Solid Signal Blog Yes, this is a big chunk of metal. Sometimes that's just what you're looking for.

Live satellite TV on a yacht is a must-have, if you ask me. It's great to sit on the deck and relax, but when the time comes for bed, it's nice to have some TV to watch. It's also a great way to spend a rainy hour or two, because that does sometimes happen while you're out on the water. Satellite internet is great, of course, but it's not always the best choice for video.

Our RV customers love satellite TV, and I can see why. But one of the questions I often get asked is, should I pick DISH or DIRECTV? In the end it comes down to personal preference, but there are some things to know. I'll discuss the positives of DIRECTV in a different article, but in this one I'm focused on DISH.
