    so by close, do you mean physically or by cable length, or both?
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    by cable length (since they are hooked up serially) I think its a 6 footer. By physical distance, maybe 2 feet.

    ok, so the 3 day delivery turned out to be 1 so I was able to add the DECA2 to the HR21. unplugged the power inserter, plugged in the deca, turned on the power inserter, rebooted the hr21 and voila, networked over coax. today, went to watch something recorded on the hr23 from the HR21 and it...

    To avoid signal loss?
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Good to know. So for the forum searchers, this thread is confirming that the CCK-W / dcaw1r0 can in fact be connected to your router using the ethernet port - wired - and you dont have to use wireless if you dont want to regardless of what d*'s forums, websites or documentation says. So the...

    OK, well I have to wait until Monday for the 2nd DECA. THE CCK is a DCAW1R0-01. I hooked the ethernet cable into my router (yes the CCK has a port), and the 2nd COAX into it. This is the 2nd COAX that is no longer hooked up to my receiver. So it worked to connect me to the internet for about 5...

    I'll report back when I get home tonight. What I know for sure is it's not wired right at all currently, and missing two important pieces. Your help has been much apprecaited.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    OK. Called service and they are sending me a DECA for the HR21. I have a CCK they sent me a while back for free for some reason. What I'm planning on doing is hooking this up to the router on one end, and a coax on the other end that goes out to the splitter. I dont know if its a CCKW or CCK...

    that's what the guy installed. said it could be for future expansion. probably all he had in his truck probably have to get on a ladder now and reconnect that second cable running down to the hr23. and/or call directv to fix this mess.

    So lets see if I have this right. hopefully the formatting sticks: Dish | 8 way Splitter----power inserter---deca2---hr21 | | | |------deca2---hr23 | ^^^^^^| | ^^^^^^|===top Ethernetport on HR23 | |----CCK===Router===Modem===Internets - is coax = is...

    Thanks. Why do I need to bridge these two networks? So the HR21 can also see the internet? Sounds like the guy flubbed the whole install so I have to call D* to get a second deca.
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    No just one deca on the HR23. HR21 just has a power inverter, no deca. There is nothing between the ethernet cable (plugged into the bottom) in the HR23 and my router. All the pics on dbstalk have the older DECA models so its been hard for me to tell if I have things hooked up right since...

    Tech came out on Monday to install a new HD-DVR (yeay, thanks Directv for a refurbed HR21!) and whole-home. The HR21 replaces an H20 and complements my HR23 that I have in another room. He put in an 8 way splitter outside by the dish (left a mess of cables also), and a power inverter attached...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    well, I immediately sent them a note voicing my disdain for this change. Anyone with a 2-4 year old relies on Sprout since it has good shorts and a lot of variety which kids need at this age. Very disappointing given how many other channels I'd love to see leave my programming package instead...

    yeah, for whatever reason this RC65R remote behaves different from the RC64 I had on it previously - same code.
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So on the call to activate my H23 replacement, I asked a few questions about the H20. They will replace it starting December 1st, but that requires a new 2 year committment. I kind of thought I could do that at any time, and not have to wait until December 1st but I guess thats the whole $0...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Cool thanks. The support tech did say it and I didnt question it because I was a bit skeptical myself. Would be good to hear of a program to replace. I dont bother them much at all and the last service call I had was in '09 and just this week I had the failed HR21 so they should have a few...
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    so when I replaced my HR21, the rep said that we are eligible for new receivers every 6 months. If that is true, can I just call them and ask for something to replace my H20 since it can't get the HD GUI? its 2 years old+
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    HR23-700 refurb unit. came with an RF remote which is cool because I can use it on my H20. I tried it and oddly it behaves different from the non RF variety where I can turn on the TV without switching to TV mode. On this one, I have to switch to TV Mode in order to turn the tv on or off...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So my HR21-700 is having issues responding to the remote, most recordings are pixelated and choppy with audio cutting out and poor rewind/ff. it also magically turns on at night by itself. sometimes it gives me HDMI issues where it wont output. Oddly unplugging and repluggiung the cable fixes...
