  1. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I am using the cck right now but would like to get rid of its clutter and just connect ethernet cable directly to hr44, is there any downside to this?

    I have an HR24 that I do NOT want it connected to the Internet, but I do want it part of whole home. Right now the HR24 is connected as well as my new genie. Is there a way to turn off the Internet?
  3. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I am eligible for a free upgrade under the protection plan to a Genie. I current have 3 HR24s. At first my plan was to replace one of the HR24s with the Genie and keep the other 2 HR24s. This would require me to go to a SWM16 from the current SWM8. I am not sure if having a SWM 16 is more...

    Just got an AM21 and it seems fine but when I did the initial setup I did not get 5.3 (KTLA in LA) but I can get it on my tv tuner just fine. Is there a way to rescan the channels without redoing the setup?? Is there a way of finding out if this is not in the list Directv uses?

    I have MRV using HR24s and a deca going to my router for internet. After exploring and testing all the internet stuff I cannot see using any of it in the near future. Can I just unplug the deca and then plug it back in when and if I ever need the internet? Am I missing anything in thinking...

    We are long time customers (sd) after some good advice on this board I waited to get HD until MRV was active and running. Here is my experience: Called regular number and asked what the price for everything (need new dish, HD, MRV and new dvrs). Very nice CSR offered me this: 3 HDRVs, New...

    I am scheduled for a complete install of new dish and 3 new hd dvrs including mrv + internet. I really want to get at least 1 hr24. My question is if my installer does not have one can I just tell him/her to come back when they have one in stock and just keep the installation on hold (not...

    We have an order in to install MRV and HD with 3 new HD DVRs on the order. The order is for June 2nd. Can I find out who will be the installer so I can call and see if they will be installing HR 24? The CSR who wrote the order said she did not know who the installer would be. We are current...

    In the last week I have been in 3 Costcos in SoCal and none of them have any Directv dvrs. A couple of months ago they had tons of hr22s on the shelves. I asked the Cell Phone/Directv kiosk people and they didn't know why (they mainly set up new users only). I was planning on buying my dvr...
  12. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have never used double play on my R15. When I press the down arrow it just beeps. I am on software version 1274. Is this implemented for R15 or is it just hd receivers? Do I have to turn something on to get it? Disregard, I just saw another post that said it was only for Plus receivers...

  14. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I know when I do a season pass I can keep more than 5 episdoes as there is a choice for that when I do the set up. In the past I thought I could also do that for manual repeat recordings, however I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to even enter that I want more than 5...
