  1. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    One is an H25 and I forget the other ones model but it is older and has its own Deca converter box (white box that splits the coax to Cat5 and coax). They both worked before the splitter swap around last night. I haven't had time to reboot them but will when I get home.

    Thanks I got it all swapped over and going through checking all my tuners now. Looks like all but two are working and the two that aren't are saying there is no network connection. I am going to reboot them and then run the setup again and see if that solves the issue.
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I think I understand how I need to run it now thanks. However with only the two 4 way splitters I would be maxed out at 10 total tuners (I have 2 DVRs 6 single tuner receivers) That covers me for now but if I were to add another run in the future I would need to add a splitter correct? The...

    This is what I am calling the DECA and it is the only thing plugged into the 8 way splitter on SWM2 port. From the sounds of things my last installer was even worse than I thought leaving things run like this.
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Also meant to ask what is the purpose of the splitter that the DECA box is plugged into? Is it a splitter that I can use to run more tuners from the SWM2 port?
  6. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Thanks.....I know very little about this wiring so I need all the help I can get. What exact type of splitter do I need and where do I get them without having to get a DTV installer to come (I have had very bad experiences with installers over the years). As far as the power if I run it on the...
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I am finally getting around to finishing up some home theater and game room wiring and have run into a problem. I have 8 DTV boxes now wired and hooked up and with the SWM and splitter setup the installer set me up with (about a year ago) I cant run more than 6 at a time. There are actually...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Recently added a HR24 to replace an old HR21P. I have an AM21 OTA Tuner that was used with the HR21P. Will it work with the HR24 to add the OTA channels into my guide?
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have 4 receivers in one room that I want to be able to control with my Harmony 880 remote. The receivers are an HR21P-200 HDDVR, 2 H23-600s and an H21-200. I have gone into the remote setups on each and assigned them as Receivers 1-4 so they can all be controlled independently with the...

    Just curious if anyone knows if a HR 21 Pro can push thru the HDMI and Component/Composite outputs at the same time? I would like to push HDMI directly to my main TV and simultaneous push componenet/composite to a splitter that will feed 4 other TVs throughout my home.

    I bought my pro from solid signal a few months back and now they are emailing me saying there is a recall on the unit and they are sending me a new unit and that I need to immediately return the old unit. I have called Directv and they have no info on such a recall. Is this just a crock or...

    So if I dont have use for the 72.5 and 95 dishs why does DTV tell me i have to get rid of my old5x8 multi in favor of a 6x? I am not recieving the new HD channels and tech support says i need a new multi switch. Any truth to that?
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    What are the two extra inputs on a 6x8 or 6x16 switch for? I have the new 5lnb dish and there are only 4 lines coming from the dish. Did my installer just jip me on the dish install?
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Where is the best place online to order a triple LNB for a D* dish. My dad has an oval dish and HD recievers but the lnb on the dish is just a 2 sat LNB..looks just like my Triple LNB set up except for the 2 sat instead of 3.
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Am I correct that with the dual tuner capability of the HR10-250 you can record on D* channel and one OTA braodcast at the same time but now two separate D* channels? Unfortunately there is only one local network(ABC) broadcasting HD OTA in my part of the world. The other two networks claim...

    Is there anyway to convinve D* to let you purchase both east and west coast feeds of HD network programming? ie all of channels 80-89? I get the east coast feeds now but would much rather have both so I could watch more prime time HD shows.
