R15 DVR on MFH2

[DirecTv Chicago]

Can anyone else confirm that the R15 will not work on MFH2 system. According to my reps under no circumstances will they work.

Per my rep:

R15 is not and can not be made compatible.
H20 is compatible after a software upgrade which can be downloaded.
HR20 is completely compatible.

D12, R16 (available soon), H21, HR21 are all immediately compatible with MFH2.

Any of the above MFH2 compatible receivers operate in this system without a subscriber unit.

As a side note, any receiver used in a MFH1 environment requires a subscriber unit.


This puts a kink in upgrading existing buildings with tenants who currently have the standard R15

The R15 will not work with an MFH2 system.

MFH2 is based on SWM... and the R15 is not SWM enabled.
It will also not work on MFH3...
It is only compatible with MFH1

The R15 will on except a STACKED signal, or a straight signal from a multiswitch.

Not sure what you mean by without a "subscriber" unit.

Subscriber units/Satelite Customer Device/ SCD-4P5W. Everyone seems to term them a little different.
