    The weak mini is in a seperate building. No way to move bridge closer, nor can I run coax to set up another bridge. I guess the answer will be DirecTV Now; wifi signal is great. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Any way to boost the signal on the bridge? Have a mini that is roughly 50 ft away and signal will not lock in.

    Think I'll just disconnect. Was only using it for an IP based remote I use.

    Suddenly my HR 44 is downloading massive amounts of data via my internet connection--used 30 GB yesterday!! I don't use any internet related services, so can't figure out what is going on. Directv technical rep was clueless. Any ideas?

    Success! Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for all the the help guys. Think I have finally seen the light. Barring electrocution,I will let you know how it turns out.

    Trust me, a picture would reveal nothing; the wires are a mare's nest and there is no way to tell what is connected to what unless you follow the wires end-to-end. The multi-switch is a swm 16. There are two 4X splitters; HR 44 is the only connection to one of them. The other splitter has the...

    My system has evolved over the years and with each change the DTV folks have done the installs. The system now consists of an HR 44 and three wireless clients operating through a wireless video bridge. And yet there is a power inserter and two DECAs in the mix! (Discovered all this when I had to...

    How long is really long? I need to connect a receiver that is roughly 30 meters from the swim. No go?
  10. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Is it possible to set the resolution on front panel of HR44 (or any other HD box for that matter) to 1980p? 1080i is as far as I can get using the res button.

    NR4P: I have the 6300 as well behind a Motorola Surfboard, but have been unable to get GenieGo OOH to work. My port forwarding set up is identical. any other ideas?
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    That's what I thought. Thanks.

    Had DTV change dish in my guest house to HD from SD. I ordered SWM equipment. Got home (my wife dealt with installer) to discover that the HR22 had both coax leads connected and there were BBCs attached. Can't be a SWM setup can it?

    Understand carl6. Existing receiver is an R15, which is SD, so not losing anything. Gain, I hope, is internet capability. VOS: finally got it to work using front panel rather than remote. Thanks guys
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I will give it another try. Thanks for your help.

    Do I change Sat setup while the receiver is attached to main system, i.e. the one with the SWM? I can never reach that stage when I try to set it up on the old dish; just keep getting the error message.
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Is it possible to pair an HR22-100 with a pre-2005 dish? I have two systems, one with all the latest equipment and the other a legacy system on a separate structure on the property. The latter was set up 12 years ago and has one of the old round dishes and an R-15 receiver. I want to upgrade...

    Thank you kind sir.
  19. DIRECTV Connected Home
    What is the longest run of coax from the SWM to an HD receiver you would recommend? I have a separate structure roughly 100 ft from where SWM is located and I'd like to get an HD receiver out there without putting up a second dish.

    Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
