  1. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Thanks I was having a hard time logging in after resetting my password so I had to use a different handle. I have it figured out now… Google Chrome password was overriding my new password saved in Cloud Keychain when logging in on SafarI. Anyway got it figured out now sorry for the confusion. I...
  2. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Thanks harsh I read your thread and while there are no markings besides JVI on mine it appears to be the exact same model. I've just never had any trouble making a perfect connection like the OP... it does show how old my JVI tool is though. So I guess I do have options for connectors then...
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So can you recommend some connectors that are similar to the Stir RG-6U's that will likely work with my compression tool that I can buy in small quantities?
  4. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Sorry I’m just getting back. Yes I did double-check it is what I have posted TRT E224758 and all the rest of the info printed on the cable is correct. I’ve used it for years it’s a great cable. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad termination using it and the Stirling connectors just always hard to...
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I bought a 500 ft box oF coax cable a few years ago and still have plenty left. I did a lot of research at the time and it was supposed to be pretty good. On the jacket it says TRT E224758 RG-6U 18awg (UL) C (UL) CMG FT4 OR CATV (UL) OR CL2 (UL) OR AWMSTYLE FT. When I purchased the cable I also...
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    There is no receiver in the mix just a TV and sound bar so what does that involve? Will the tech know how to do this?
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Ok thanks I swore I read something online about how you could use a RC73 in IR mode with an HR24 but guess I must have read it wrong.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I just picked up an HR24 from Weaknees to add to my existing HR44/Mini Genie system. I’m used to using an RC73 Genie remote and have read it can’t be used with the HR24 unless in IR mode. A couple of questions: (1) When the DTV installer installs the HR24 is he going to know how to program the...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm a DTV Satellite subscriber and just now became aware of the new DTV app which lets you stream Live programming using my satellite channels. I downloaded it on my Apple TV 4K and it works great although for me it won't replace my HR44. The DTV app is still intriguing though as a storm backup...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    No problem.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I found an old MX-350 that I'm experimenting with as a replace for the Genie remote and no problem learning from a RC6X remote... but for some reason I can't learn from my Samsung Smart remote for my Samsung TU8000 series TV? Any any idea why?
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've been going back & forth on whether to get an HR24, HDMI Range Extender and now using their app. I was all ready to order an HR24 this morning until I realized I couldn't use the Genie RC7X remote with it... I hate the location of the transport buttons the RC6X remotes. Now I don't know...
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've never given the app much thought not knowing exactly how it would work as a substitution for receiver. My son who's blind occasionally uses this TV and I wouldn't want to complicate things for him.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I should have titled this thread “HR24 vs HDMI Range Extender vs Fiber Optic HDMI Cable”. I sure would like to know if adding two more tuners wasn’t important if the other two options are a legitimate substitute? Like are there disadvantages?
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Weaknees does have them in stock and comes with an access card so maybe the place to buy. What happens if you have an HR24 that go bad will DTV replace it with another HR24? Will an HDMI Range Extender/Splitter work just as well as getting an HR24? I would be taking the signal from a MIni...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm a long time DTV subscriber with an HR44 Genie, Mini Geni, HR24, and THR22. My adult son lives with me and the HR24 & THR22 are his and aren't connected to my HR44. My living room isn't my main TV so I've been feeding it with RF but I've decided I want HD there now. An HR24 (don't want...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Ok thanks this is just all new to me where a dish gets hit and how DirecTV deals with it... but you guys have been a big help explaining.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Ok thanks this is such a small facility (about 20 apartments) is pretty easy to find plus I think it's the only DirecTV dish all others are Dish Network.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So I'm approaching my 26th appointment next Thursday and wondered what I should say to the tech. After further research the Assisted Living maintenance guy hit the dish while mowing and did admit it after we brought it to the attention of the Administrator. Do I play dumb if he asks if I know...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well it‘s where all the other dishes are installed right outside of their apartments there’s a row of them on the grass along a sidewalk. Turns out the mowing service had a really young kid mowing the other day so can’t believe this is something that happens on a regular basis. The facility has...
