  1. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have a history of "not reading the directions", so take this for what it may be: I used to place the PI between the splitter input and the SWiM [LNB or stand alone SWiM]
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Welcome to the forum. A power inserter isn't going to work for you. The PI is for a SWiM, which you don't have. The low levels are the issue and the alignment would be the first thing to check.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So after a dozen years... this thread can have a fork put in it.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    In the spirit of this forum, Good Luck ! I hope you find something "to your liking". Life is too short and this isn't anything more than TV
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm not sure you are "versed enough" to make a judgement call of anything more than an opinion. How many years here have we heard that before?
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    [MOD HAT ON] As much as one might want to, we don't attack other members. As much as I want to click "like" to some posts [as I've had the same thought myself]. "We play nice" on this forum. [mod hat off]

    What seems to get forgotten about is the I² loss.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    They each use a slightly different chipset. "The goal" was to be the same, but this ended up hard to quantify I had "good luck" with -200s & -500s, but most of mine were "hand built" I'd take anything "down & start over" at any time.

    [As I like puzzles] Why or What? Whole Home & Internet use DECA and splitters in series can double the loss. Tuners And SWiM channels don't have much to do with the DECA losses. They use the 2.3 MHz FSK signal. Impedance & reflections for the RF signals have been "troublesome" since the first...

    "This" is why: MRV uses the DECA networking
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've been known to do some things that I shouldn't. The Green splitter has another circuit [for DECA] that doesn't work with OTA.
  12. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    SIX YEAR OLD threads should be left to fade away.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Before DECA, cascading splitters was a viable option. DECA losses can be excessive passing through multiple splitters.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    More common [I'm seeing ] is 1080p/24
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Coax networking [DECA] is 500-600 MHz SWiM [by design] is above OTA. If used "correctly" diplexers [like the NAS 9501] can be used with SWiM systems & DECA
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    As it uses your house wiring, the wiring can become "the wild card".
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'd bump that up to < 20 Mb/s. VOD has been 16+ Mb/s
  18. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Some old threads should be left to fade away on their own 4½ years is old enough for this to be put to sleep.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    "Our memory" of legacy parts seems to have faded "just a bit" over the last decade or so. The WB68 isn't like the WB616 The WB68 "is useful for" reducing loss as they don't work the same as a Wilkinson power divider
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This has been pretty clear [to me] from the beginning. I have NO Idea how you're going to get Over The Air with DirecTV hardware. I use a $15 antenna [myself] but YMMV
