    Got more information on Walmart's site. Now that you mention it I believe the tech from a few times ago told me that the system was powered from my receiver. "RG-6 75 Ohm Quad Shield Coax Cable for (CATV, Satellite TV, & Broadband/High Speed Internet) is made with Quad shield solid copper cable...

    Okay so there is a power inserter connected down there somewhere. So if I want to replace the cable going to my HR 54 I need to find where it's plugged into the power inserter? I just ordered this cable from Amazon I assume this will work just fine...

    Attached is a picture of my SWM multi-switch. I assume the DC power pass input is from the satellite dish outside and the 2 outputs serve to my HR 54 and my genie mini?
  4. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So I would need a cable with the solid copper core to go to the multi-switch and the other end would go to the satellite receiver?

    I am looking to relocate my satellite receiver to the other side of my room. If I don't have enough cable I was going to buy a a new cable. Can I use any old RG 6 or do I need something special?

    The input spot of the LCC is where I plugged my coax into
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    So even though the channels are showing up in the guide it might not actually be getting a signal due to the USB cable?
  8. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    DirecTV sent me one of these things for my HR 54. I plugged it in and hooked the coax to my splitter that I know for a fact works. However it says there is no signal on the DirecTV receiver. I tried a totally different coaxial cable just to be sure and it still doesn't work. Of course I'm not...

    You're right I forgot they cost that much at release. I was in the 2nd shipment. That was a major purchase for me back then, actually it would be a major purchase now!

    Are there any people selling AM 21s at a pretty reasonable price? I looked on the forum here and I don't see a buy/sell section?
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That's what I was afraid of I wonder if I have an old AM 21 laying around in the basement. I just checked eBay and its highway robbery!

    Oh the memories! I remember buying my HR10-250 from value electronics eons ago. Seems like it cost over $500 in 2004 or was it 2005?

    In my area we are having a contract dispute with the NBC affiliate and DirecTV. Customer service agent is sending me a free local channel antenna hook up for the HR54. My question is will that tuner be available for the HR24 as well?
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Interesting... so it goes over swm?
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think I know what the problem is then. When I was looking at the set up he had it set single tuner instead of dual.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Both of my receivers came back.
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So really all we can do is basically reboot our receivers from time to time until it finally goes through?
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have the genie HR54 and an HR24. I had a lightning strike last Saturday that took out HDMI ports of both receivers. The tech had to come replace the genie but I had to send for the HR24. I had issues getting things working so a tech had to come out today. Anyways he said he got it working and...
