  1. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Newbie Question: What is Victoria? Searched for Linux programs named that but only found a Linux user group in Victoria. :-( Thanks!

    I belive it's the SL5-LNB, it has 3 of the receiver units mounted on the mast. Got it for free from a neighbor that didn't want it on his house anymore. For receivers I have an HR-44, HR-24 and two R-22's Think I'll check things out myself first before I initiate a service call. I don't like...

    Interesting, but I'm finding two LNB's. Both say they have 13 channel capability. The 3D2RBLNB says it receives the 99 101 and 103 satellites and the 5D2RBLNB also receives the 119 satellite. (and is a lot more expensive) Really wished this had happened when it was warm out... :-( I have the DTV...

    Unfortunately the SWM16 is in an area that is not easily accessible by an installer. (Amazing what you will go through yourself to put things where you want them) Figured the SWM would be better off inside rather than exposed to the elements. I have 4 separate wires going from the dish into the...

    Yes, I think you are correct 775. I don't see it very often, usually when changing channels. Thought it might be signal strength but almost all of them are 93+ that I have looked at

    Having some reception issues with my HD-DVR's. Picture is breaking up once in a while and other times the sound will drop out for a second or two. On a few occasions I have seen the 775 communication error. Does not seem to be affecting my HR-21 only the Genie and HR-24 units. If I unplug the...

    #1 - I've done the copy routine on an HR-22 and just did my HR-34 without much problem. All of them were started with externals from the start. So I don't have any experience removing the drive from the unit to copy to a new one. (Note: You are not supposed to open a DTV leased unit) #2 - From...

    You are correct! :goodjob: Now you know why I'm dazed and confused... :righton: I've corrected the original post. Thanks, D&C

    I think I read somewhere in this thread that someone had done an 8 Gb. They were a little too expensive for me. D&C

    Just updated from a 3 Tb drive that was 60% full to a 6 Tb Drive. Tried using the latest version of Gparted 26.1-5 but it just hung while booting. Decided to try the last version of 3 (3.9-13) That one worked great after several issues with fat fingers and old eyes. Gparted Stats: Copied 214 Gb...
  11. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Never mind, I found my answer earlier in the thread, although I'm still curious about the defrag question. Use GParted if I want to increase the size of the drive...

    Thought I would follow the instructions on copy/replacing a hard drive and then check it with Acronis True Image. It will be interesting to see if it can see the partition. If not I'll boot Ubuntu on my system and see if the entire disk is partitioned or I have a media server running NAS4Free...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I've tried reinstalling several times but still no go. Read in another thread that DTV had done an update to the app. Thought I had it last night when the app on my Tab 4 launched and connected. It even started to process a program. Now this morning we are back to "Can't find GenieGo" but the...

    Understand, I'll report back when (or if) I get the drive up and running. MT
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks! I checked on the Thermaltake web site, it now states: "Supports all 2.5" & 3.5" SATA I/II/III hard drives in ALL Capacities" Although most of the resellers still show 2 Tb as max capacity even though the part numbers are the same. I'll give it a go. Now to reread the...

    What enclosure are you using with the 4 Tb? I currently have a Black-X dock on my Genie but the specs say that the max supported is 2 TB I have a 6 Tb WD red drive on the way
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I am having issues with my Geniego (1st version). I have not used it for a while and now none of my mobile devices will connect to the GenieGo. Devices are: Samsung Galaxy S-5, Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and a galaxy Tab 4 10.1 On the Galaxy Tabs I've tried both the GenieGo app and the DirecTV for...

    Thanks much, that worked!!!
  19. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I think that technically it isn't. It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2. I was really hoping that since after the update the program actually loaded on the tablet that it would work properly :-( Guess not, probably about the time i get a new tablet D* will get this one working.
  20. DIRECTV Connected Home
    OK that explains the problem I'm having. I can prep a show but not download it to my Samsung tablet. At least the app loads now... For over a year it would not even load on the tablet. Thoroughly disgusted with the support on this app.
