DIRECTV will open the website overnight tonight at approximately 4am ET.
Please be patient over the next week as DIRECTV works on improving the performance of the TVApps application.

Is this for legitimate Internet-connected receivers, or even like, the H-2x series?

Not the H20, but possibly the H21 & H23, yes.

The H20 does not have an ethernet port, so it can not use TV Apps, as that requires internet connectivity.

Still does not work on my home network with a Linksys router. I was hoping this would be fixed or at least have some kind of information on what settings to use on the router.

Well, I just set them up on the web site.
Now I have two things to rush home at 2 o'clock for.
TV Apps and the LSU/Arkansas game.

Ok since I only run Linksys products and they work for me  . Tell us about your settings, router model, what HRxx you have and all. Maybe we can help you get them working. Also go to the site and set them up. You won't see them if there is nothing to see . Linksys does work though

Sometimes it takes several tries. I've pressed the right arrow, heard the "bonk", pressed the arrow again, "bonk", and then it would work on the third or fourth try. |

I can't get signed into the website to add apps. What am I missing?
Update: Nevermind, looks like a glitch, it's letting me now.
Update2: Looks like the site might be getting hammered, getting errors.

When managing My Apps, I can't delete any of them. Is there a core set you can't remove?

I've found 'deleting' from the Apps Store to be problematic. I can only delete at most once at a time, then have to 'exit' out and re-enter for the next deletion. Even this is not consistent and when it doesn't work it thinks you want to add another copy so I wound up with about 8'weather radar' apps until I deleted them via website.
