    Thanks Every One, all it need was a change from on to off.

    My HR44 is getting slow, as much as 15 seconds changing channels? Is there any way to clean up the memory on this thing, if thats the problem. Its has one client, C41, on it and its as fast as ever.

    I have been a DirecTV customer form 1998 on after switcing to Dish for one year in 97. I had Verizon for every thing ells, land lines, internet and cell service. I dumped them last year over there pricing. There cell phone service was just to high and they only gave my wife and I 500 minutes...

    They did this week out with a bad 8 in with a 16. I was surprised at that, being the 16 cost more, but maybe not for them

    We had DirecTV out the other day because of and error massage on the HR25 we have in my wife's hobby room. The SWM 8 with a SWM16 plus the SL5 LMB 4 and its working, then today I am using set with the C41 client off of the HR44 and am having freeze problems with it. the 44 in the from room is...

    Here's the deal with D. If you are out of contract is easy to get them to do things like give you that new DVR without paying a leasing fee or other freebe's. A trick I have learned is to go to there website and put the thing in the shopping cart and see the price. I have done that twice and...

    VOS. I had to rest the power inserter for a SWiM 8 to get internet service the other day, then got to thinking about it. The set up has the swim 8 with one side into a new hr44 and the other side in to a green label 4 way. The 4 way goes to a c41 client & a hr24 with the 3rd out put to a CCK...

    I guess what the installer did was run 2 cables from the swm16 down to existing 8 way, removed cable to Genie and installed it on the single wire grounding block and the 2nd cable from the swm16 to grounding block add the power inserter were the Genie is. That splits your system to 5 tuners on...

    OP I also added two C31-700 clients I had the free upgrade to a HR44 and C41 client about 3 months back. I was thinking that the free was called 34 and I got the 44. the C41 uses the same remote as 44 and the RF on the new remote is much stronger then the old. I lost an hr21& hr23, keeping a 23...

    With me yes, never have had a problem with it. By the way as I wrote I hate wireless, like wire but don't like seeing it, everything is in wall or attic.

    The whole setup was free and it was a lot easer for the kid to add another satellite dish then try to pull coax through the conduit, I also wanted it that way. At the time I was running the whole system on ethernet and that was all installed a few years before the SWM technology came around, I...

    After reading this I had to stop and think about what I have. I just went through the Genie/client upgrade sending 2 HR 2-- back and keeping a hr 23 & 24. I had pulled all new RG 6 and switched over to a SWiM and also replaced and added cat5e and 6 for the locale area network. Be for that I had...

    I don't think so, call them and add it and see what happens.

    One way to avoid all the hassle and the 49 bucks is the protection plan. I went to a SWM system last year during some remodeling doing the install myself with parts I bought on line. This year we had an hr24 have some problems and they sent a tach to replace it, no charge, but did go up in attic...

    I have a week of use on the new remote with the 44 and it works great in RF. The old one with the hr23 we had in the living room HT were slow or not at all, and the RF did not have the range the 44 and RC71 have.

    I have had the MRV since the bate test and if I remember right it's a whole 3 bucks. I am sure if I had not had a single wire system, thats what is really required for the MRV or whole home, it would have been installed with the free upgrade. What is absolutely required for the 34/44 genie is...

    Big Brother. I went to this dance a long time ago, It's content protection that comes from the studios and one of the ways it is implemented, with DirecTV is if you have 2 sets on one tuner or DVR, one using component the other HDMI the tuner reads the connection and blocks the component output...

    I had a free upgrade, was expecting the 34 got 44 lost 21& 23 still have a 23 & 24, the 44 is fast and small, the next 2 channel tuner will be smaller yet, if they have one? Bet at some point in the future all that will be available will be something like 44 & clients.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    YES YES YES. Over all it works for me. The 44 that it came with is a big step forward.

    I dumped Verizon, voice, internet and cell phone a year ago, and went with TimeWarner for internet services only, then got 2 magic jacks stand alone unites one for fax, with a year of service and I think 5 more years for a 100 bucks. I can't tell the deference. My DirecTV system uses the...
