    DECA is just DirecTV's implementation of MOCA which is essentially ethernet over coax. If all you want is a hard wired connection where you only have coax, there are many MOCA adapters available. Just search on Amazon or NewEgg.

    The photos are fine, but as an OLED owner, I'm not happy with the static text. Some settings to control the screen saver would be appreciated.

    One more annoyance. I just tried to connect from my RVU enabled TV. Client on the TV simply says, This location is not authorized. Back on the HR 44, I can't see the client MAC listed anymore. Trying to re-add it, but I can't figure out how to get the Mac from the DirecTV App on the TV again...

    One more issue as I'm now opening a folder with recordings from several seasons of a show. Looks like the sorting is being done by month and day only (not using the year). End result is multiple seasons recordings are all mixed together in the list. Anyone that has passed an entry level coding...

    I'm watching on a 65" 4K OLED. The problem isn't the display or a lack of contrast.

    HR 44. Just received the New GUI. Not impressed. First impression is not favorable. The new programs list view is horrendous. The large overlay with the featured program hides 3 or programs underneath. Smaller font and less real estate for the actual listing due to left side bar means that to my...

    That guy must be off today. It's happening again. CBS 2 Local missing all guide data on both my HR44 & HR24.

    Some of the existing 4K sets look great in BB, but I'm still going to wait to buy one. Standards are still in flux and next years set is sure to beat this years model. There's talk about adopoting an expanded color gamut for 4K in the future. That could leave this years hardware as not able to...

    What's the associated spectrum worth? Could AT&T repurpose that or argue that it can be shared with terrestrial broadband?

    As always, a great first look! As an owner of the first generation Genie Go, I'm sadly dissapointed to see the five device limit still exists. With a family of 5 with multiple devices each, this is very limiting.

    Thanks!

    My RC 71 seems to work fine with my HR24 and even my old HR20 in IR mode.
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm getting familiar with my new HR44 Genie and have pretty much decided to use the older IR based standard DirecTV Remote (RC65) rather than the new RF/IR small remote (RC71) that came with the unit. The only drawback I can see to this approach is that when you're in a screen that displays...

    Forced a download of 62C yesterday and now my guide will respond again. In the last couple of weeks it had become all but useless.

    I saw in another thread someone suggesting that IP based control such as by using the iPad App would help, but that gives me the same results. My HR24 simply doesn't like to display the in guide banner ads. Guess I'm going to start reading release notes over on the cutting edge to see if...

    I've been trying to get my HR24 to speed up as well. Have done a restart from the menu as well as clearing NVRAM on Ch 1. The issue for me isn't recordings or channel changes. It's the guide when there's banner ads in the guide. If I start the guide at channel 100 and then hit channel down...

    Bottom line, have a plan and stick to it! Having been to Comdex in Vegas twice, that's the only way to survive. Make sure that plan allows some time for fun too :) If anyone has some time to wander by the LG booth, I'd be interested in any information and or impressions of the 55" OLED they are...

    New install yesterday. About an hour after the installer left I went back into the room with my new HR24-100 and I smelled that good old frying electronics smell. Oh S*** I think, but when I take a closer Look, It's not the HR24, but the Bridge between the DECA and my switched ethernet network...

    Had my WHDVR setup installed yesterday. Installer added an HR24-100 to my existing HR20-100. When he got to the back of the HR20-100 he first tried to connect it just like the HR24....one coax to sat 1...no DECA. No joy. :nono2: I showed him the diagrams in post 1 of this thread and he then...
