  1. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    This also applies to the Pluto of Genies as well. The HR34 also drops off just like the the HR2 units do. And may also apply to the "real Genies (44 and 54 (the HS-17 (aka Homey or Highlander) does not play with others)) when tied to an "antique" whole home landscape. Since testing involves...
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    How often does this happen? I ask as ALL the HR receivers drop off the network after around 45 to 60 days. There is no refresh to reestablish other than to reboot either. in a self contained Genie and its clients environment this is a non issue as the clients are subservient to their genie...

    The HR2x and HR34 suffer from dropping off the network over a time span between 60 and 90 days. This happens regardless of how they connect as both DECA and switched Ethernet are affected. Attempting a network reconnect does not “broadcast” the affected HR’s return either. Only a reboot fixes...
  4. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Easy fix but annoying. About thirty to 45 days or so the HR2X devices lose their presence on the Whole Home landscape. Something in the architecture only undoes this via reboot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    One thing about the duplexers is you have to pay attention to the frequency flow. Using them to bridge two SWMS the proper connection flow seems upside down. Easy to mess up. You want the sat band side of the top connected to your SWM out and the OTA band side connected to your DECA to Ethernet...

    Depends on line lengths and service numbers. A twin 16 provides 4 outs the new improved units only 2. I run 12 service drops off dual sixteens with line lengths out to over 190ft. DECA strength only strong enough for the shortest 8 so I bridge hardwired switched Ethernet to DECA and it is...
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Direct TV has implemented a wireless video bridge with sophisticated account authorization and a 5GHZ network to operate on. The WVB runs off the Genie and gets its access, services, and account authorization from there. Then one pairs the client to the WVB and at that time a unique SSID key is...

    I haz a lil ol netbook that uses Win7 Starter Edition. 32 bit Inhell Atom processor. I did boost its memory from 1G to 2G (max). Might as well try that upgrade :) I use it primarily for network stuff around the house as its form factor (and lack of importance) make it a toolbox item that can...

    Well as I have Yamaha RX-V3800, RX-V3900 (that has the pass thru), and an RX-Z11 made before Yamaha started using lower grade IC bits, and marketed the stiffer chassis as being an Adventege over the old. Spec wise they aren't as good. And my mini clients hook up to odd 5.1 setups that have no...

    Digital coax it may be marked on your AVR. This minis have HDMI out and the digital coax out (any other manner of video/audio outputs require the separate wiring dongle that uses a pin connector not unlike an Svideo cable. Those are your ONLY options for the mini clients. Don "I run HDMI...
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    My only concern is how the DVR will stream wirelessly. Having it wired in either fashion would be preferred but. . . Let is know how it flies. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    A true statement however the OP's stated situation implies he has a router that may or may not have any wired device (none in the presence of his receiver for sure) and is relying on wireless. Although the router is itself behind a switch so one a pathway has been established it need not engage...

    Yes. I had to set dvr accordingly to catch start sometime back

  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It is most likely cloudy here in Oregon though :) I am guilty of referring to the DECA fabric as the DECA "cloud" likely as I did fall in to the common reference. At least to my way of thinking DECA and switched Ethernet are fabrics for the transfer of IP packets. Each one represents its own...

    I had assumed this as well. I think the rebuilding is correlation between the schedule list and available guide info. Don " course I could be full of old boleros too" Bolton
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have in the past noted it would be nice to be able to back up one's SLs, favorites, etc to the DirecTV servers as part of our account info. Much like an Apple iOS backup. When a DVR is lost the new one can be replaced and resilvered from that back up. Done. Nothing extensively complicated nor...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Pretty much nailed it there. :) I would add a comprehension on the RVU client as I get the frustration. RVU clients regardless of if a DirecTV "C" client or some external vendor's RVU implementation for their TV, Game Console, TV Tray, whatever are mere PORTALS to the content being rendered by...
