There are no apps appearing on the apps dock, how do I get them back on the tv?

DIRECTV TV Apps are FREE and easy to use. Just press the
right arrow button on your remote to launch the TV Apps dock,
select the app you want, and enjoy! TV Apps require a
broadband-connected HD or HD DVR receiver (models H21 and
higher, models HR20 and higher, and models C31 and higher).

Click on the app and drag it to the trash can in the lower right corner of your screen. The app will remain there until you empty your trash. If you change your mind before you empty your trash can, just click on the app in the trash and drag it back to the file where you want it.

If you want to add the application icons to the bottom of the screen (or Dock) there are a couple of ways to do this.

1.) Open a window in Finder and go to 'Applications', simply drag the application you want to appear in the Dock toward the bottom of the screen and release when the app icon is where you want it to be.

2.) Launch the application you want to appear in the Dock. When the app is running, the icon will appear in the Dock on the right side, to make it stay there even when you quit the app, simply right-click (if mouse supports it) or control click and from the pop-up select 'Options' and chose 'Keep in Dock'.

You can move the icons around in the Dock by click and holding on them and dragging them around to the location you want... and to remove an icon from the Dock just drag it off the Dock into the main area of the screen and release.

If the Mail icon has disappeared from your dock (row of icons at the bottom of your screen), do this:

1. Click on Finder (the blue smiley-face at the left side of the dock). This will open a "Finder window".
2. Click on "Applications" (on the left side of the Finder window).
3. Look for "Mail" in the list of applications.
4. Click & drag "Mail" down to the dock, between any two other Apps. You should see the two apps "scoot over" to make room for the Mail app. When you see this happen, release the mail app and it will be sitting in its new home in your dock.

Have you tried waiting a bit longer than normal for your game to load?
Or, the game won't work on your machine.

See lower right of page 45 in the owner's manual.

You asked this question a year ago, and did not get any help.

So, it's time to take a chain-saw to the docking-station, to "sacrifice" it,
and then purchase (on eBay?) a replacement docking-station.
