  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I used Directv for 25+ years. I dropped them a couple of years back for YouTube streaming service. I was paying for 4 DVR's and I was the only one watching it. Streaming only has a few downsides. It takes more steps to turn on the channel you want to watch. But on the upside I can watch...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I didn't care for the clients when I had a 34. But with 54 it doesn't feel any different than hr24 the client replaced.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    For those interested, there were two problems. First I had multiswitch because I needed more than 8 lines. It apparently does not pass 4K signals. It was replaced with new LNB that does 13 lines without switch. Second when the HR54 was installed and replaced the HR34 the power block was not...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I guess I'll wait for the tech to look at it tomorrow. I'm using the same swim cable the hr24 was using is what I meant by the same cable. The HR54 is wireless connected to the router. And I wanted to see the 4K channels on my new TV is why the HR24 is being replaced. Directv is...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm replacing an HR24. The HR24 worked fine on that cable. Shared shows between other HR24's and main HR54 no problem. I unplug the HR24, plug in the new C61 and it won't pass MoCA test. The failure says Network Interference. If I have a problem watching shows call tech support. Like...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    A tech was at my house last week for new box install. He had gotten to play with a 54 for a day recently. He said it was "blazing fast." His words. He clearly knew how fast the 34 and 44 were already.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Installer comes hooks up client. Sets up RF remote for it. Picture works. He leaves. I pick up remote. Neither the guide button nor list button do anything now. Old IR remote works fine with it. This was after he warned me the client RF remotes were really flaky. Offered to leave...
  8. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I just heard same story from my installer. My dish is only located 12 ft from the ground. It was easily accessible before the screen enclosure was installed. Now you would have to walk overtop of roof to get to the Dish. My installer was only here to add a genie client. But he...
  9. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I'm just curious why you switched from clients to H box? What was motivation. I need to order one or the other and had been leaning towards client.
  10. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Huge Thanks to everyone here for your advice. Putting a splitter next to the swim 16 and going with a client instead of a full receiver were both great ideas. Directv hasn't done anything for me lately so I might try to get them to do the install work.
  11. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Can you elaborate on the difference between the client and the H? Do they both have same monthly fee? Can the client see content on other dvr's or just the genie?
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I currently have a swim 16 mounted on the side of my house. 2 wires run inside to a closet where they split and feed 11 tuners ( 3 regular DVR's and a 5 tuner DVR ) There is a powered dongle in the same closet that connects the internet to them all for whole home. I would like to add a new...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My screen saver kicks on every 5 minutes like clockwork while watching a recorded show. Tried reboot and fixed it for a while. Back to 5 minute reboots again now.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Mine comes on every 5 minutes like clockwork. I rebooted and the problem was gone for a short time.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My HR34 just started kicking on the screen saver after every 5 minutes of playback. It's really annoying to say the least. Yesterday I rebooted and that fixed the problem for a few hours. Today its back again.
  16. DIRECTV Connected Home
    The last time I asked they said they always try to send out the same model of DVR being returned because it reduces installation issues.
  17. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Huh? I've dropped off numerous old replay, tivo, and directv dvr's at my local dump.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I called today to try to return one of my HR20's. 5 DVR's and only 4 TV's. At first the rep was saying they would send out box fedex, return postage included, etc. etc. But then she heard it was my HR20 from 2007. She then said, "Why don't you keep it in case one of your other DVR's...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've been a customer forever. 4 HD DVR's currently (20,21,21,24). Called today because I'm moving down the road about a mile. The new house didn't have a dish yet or I wouldn't have called them. Lady said no problem and have you heard of our new HR34? She offered to swap out my...
