    Always good advice to check the connections. Glad it's working for you.

    One suggestion for your setup is to reduce that 8-way splitter down to a 4-way splitter to reduce any chances of lost voltage. To the issue: Is that current 8-way splitter a DirecTV approved splitter? I've experienced somewhat of this issue before, and the simple solution for me was to...

    No issues after the first login (1st login took a bit). Currently I'm OOH - also I'm on iPad 1 running 5.0.1

    Same for me - 7 digits

    What are your setups? Do you have SWM with power inserters? I seem to recall a post once where a power supply or other voltage spiking was causing spontaneous reboots.

    I agree this is the most straightforward way. If 8 tuners in your house are enough, and you're willing to do some "Recording Management" on the DVRs, it will work for you to simply upgrade to a SWMLine dish with 8 tuners built-in. Then only 1 cable would be required into the home, through the...

    Came across this on Lifehacker for any of you looking to extend HDMI up to about 30 meters: http://lifehacker.com/5918457/hdmi-over-ethernet-adapter-extends-hdmi-connections-up-to-98-feet-saves-money

    Yes hopefully this will be the case. It's not unlike some other UI changes we've seen that we may like changed (or changed back) :)

    Yah yah yah.... I know yours is Bigger than mine.... :p

    Oh that's interesting Stuart. I'll give that a try myself and see what happens.

    The other way to do it without changing equipment would be to change your other receivers to single-tuner DVRs, giving you a total of 8 tuners if you currently have a SWM-8 or SWMLine dish.

    You could do this and in fact some testers have even more than this. The key though is you need a SWM-16 or larger with proper cabling to do it.

    Multi Room Viewing, the original acronym before it officially became Whole Home DVR :)

    No problem :)

    Here's a bit of a novelty picture - 5 simultaneous record icons on a single receiver. :)

    Exactly - here's a quick video on PIP on the HR34-700. Sorry in advance - I kept referring to 1 of the channels as ESPN. It was actually ESPN News. Hmm for some reason the embedded player isn't working - here's the direct link:

    No - just 1 pair of DLB (DP). But I suppose with 2 boxes you'd have 4 buffers :D
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    2 tuners, because when you have PIP active, you use Double Play as a means to quickly swap Video and Audio between pictures.
