    Interesting, I called several times last year and they would not allow it🤷‍♂️ The par for the course with Customer Service. 😖
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have an HR54 and HR24. 20+ year subscriber. They will not replace the HR24 if it goes bad. if it’s just the hard drive you can fix it your self easily which I have done in the past. I too have not switched to streaming because the price is similar and I would loose too many features from the...

    TeamViewer for sure does this now. I switched to AnyDesk. So far so good. 🤷‍♂️

    My hr24 was having issues. I knew it was the hard drive getting flakey. I called DTV and they would not replace it. Too old. I have an HR54 also. i decided to replace the hr24 hard drive myself. I had an extra one laying around. It was easy. YouTube videos can walk you through it.

    I just replaced the internal drive of my hr24 with the internal drive of an old HR44 I had lying around not in use. It was a WD green drive. It was easy. Before anyone asks why I have an old HR44 lying around I have actually two of them. DIRECTV never wanted them back when I upgraded to HR54. I...

    Thanks. I see what’s going on now. I can talk him through it (while I watch what he is doing) over the FaceTime
  9. DIRECTV Connected Home
    My 80 year father (400 miles away) DIRECTV system in not connected to the internet. When I log into his router there are no IP addresses associated with any of his equipment. This is how I found out he is not connected. He always complained that his apps never or stopped working. Im just getting...
  10. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Sorry, I misunderstood. I had no idea that the HR54 would issue an IP address to the HR24 via coax. That is what confused me. I have now disconnected the Ethernet cable from the HR24 and rebooted the router, HR54, and HR24. As of this moment all is working at it should. The HR54 got my static...
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I’m sorry. I’m a little confused on what the next step should be. My hr24 gets the correct ip from the router and connects to the internet as it should. The hr54 temporarily gets the correct ip address from the router and connects to the internet and hr24. Some period of time later the...

    Are you saying disconnect the hr24 permanently? I need both the hr24 & hr54 connected to share recorded shows on both systems. My hr24 & hr44 had no issues for years. what is the cck route? thanks
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I guess I spoke too soon. The HR54 has been disconnected again. It can no longer see the hr24’s programs nor is it connected to the internet. The router reports it as an attached device but Fing (iPhone network scanner) can’t see it. Fing sees the hr24. I can’t ping the hr54 either. Both the...

    I did some googling and found a Reddit post that the Hue Hub has a DHCP bug or acts weird with some routers. The solution was to assign a static ip for it. So far everything is working with all 192.168.... addresses. Hopefully that was the problem :)
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    New Info: Without the bridge plugged in to the router. The HR54 gets the correct 192.168.1.21 static IP address I have set for it. It seems to cause the problem. Now what to do about it?????
  16. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I was thinking it might be a router problem also. I have never seen a 169.254..... address before. I was not sure it was a HR54 thing or not. However, the HR54 shows up as 192.168.1.21 in my scanning apps as well as in the advance settings on the HR54. I just might have a lead. I just bought...
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Thanks for the response. Both HR54 and HR24 have been rebooted and whole home setup up. When the HR54 is connected correctly both units can see each other's recorded show as they should. The HR24 shows a correct 192.168..... IP address in the router and in the advance settings of the unit...
  18. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Recently I started having problems with my HR44. It would not connect to the internet anymore. I changed cable, switches, rebooted router, etc. It was giving error codes and could not connect to the internet. I could not ping it from my LAN. I called Directv tech support. They ran some tests...

    As of right now I have NBC E/W feeds. Nothing else.
