  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Tried that. Still got the Red flash. Reset the remote. Reselected RF (my dvr is behind stuff) and then tried scanning for the TV (I dont know my model item from the list) and bingo. Since the TV talks to the the soundbar over hdmi for volume control I left it be.
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    When I enter the 13899 code provided by the lookup at Remote Control Code Lookup I enter the 1 wait for the flashes then the 3899 and I get a red flash.
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hey yall, Have a new TV and sound bar and I am having an issue getting the Genie remote working. The TV model of course isnt in the list. If I do the lookup on the D* tool it tells me to try 13899 but how do you manually enter codes for TV's on the Genie remote? Can the Genie remote even...

    If I get them to replace with a Geneie Mini do you think it will renew my contract? Any reasons I should not go this route?

    Yeah I thought they may leave the multiswitch but was not sure. I still wonder though if I could use a 3-way green splitter and not have to use it and maintain my DECA backbone to the upstairs.

    Ok my question is a bit out there but hopefully someone has tried it or knows it cant be done. I've been considering switching from DirecTV to DirecTV now. After I make the switch I am sure they will want my Genie back, probably the power inserter and maybe my old DVR's (hr20 and HR21). Will...

    No I agree, I also have a couple of my own software gripes going all the way back to the HR20 we have in the house and.... Just glad it all works 99% of the time.

    Oh not complaining about it doing its main functionality well at all. I was just surprised as I noted. In the short time I have had the 44 its been the best dvr I've had.

    Sorry was probably getting my testing using the DVR's own DECA diag with when I use I perf for other testing. The DECA backbone in my house can do 200+Mbps but you are correct the Ethernet jacks on everything are 100Mbit.

    Hey Vos, yeah I was just surprised to see lesser functionality in the HR44 than in prior units. BTW I noticed something while playing with getting it all hooked up. Is the HR44 even capable of powering a LNB or a DECA unit on its own?
  11. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Ok so replying to myself in case this helps anyone else. Yesterday. I unhooked the ethernet cable from my Xbox One and hooked it to my laptop, I then ran some speed tests with iPerf 2.x to my in home media server. Under normal conditions in the past this has shown 200-300Mbps over the DECA...
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    So since almost day 1 of having my Connected Home setup installed I have piggybacked onto the DECA network to prevent needing to run additional Ethernet drops. While I realize this is unsupported it has proven a sensible compromise until recently. Over the weekend I tried to download a game on...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Ok so have a HR44 and in Georgia. Have RBR the HR44 and tried to get the message "Must be on your home network and connected to your DVR to setup your Mobile DVR." The HR44 is connected to my lan backbone over DECA. My phone is connected to the wifi on the same router the DECA plugs into and...
  14. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Ok my install of Directv2PC died claiming too many activations (I had to swap the HD in this computer after 5 years as the old one died). So my question is, since I am wayyy behind the times, whats the working choice to view my recorded content on a PC? GenieGo? Is this going to require another...
  15. DIRECTV Connected Home
    So sad that this actually makes sense lol. The tv we have on the way has 4 hdmi and only one is Hdmi 1.4 the rest are 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 support. Fortunately I mainly bought this to replace an aging 42" for someone to play Xbox on. Its a Sceptre U550CV-U. From what I see it seems a bit early...

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrott? Is there a tl;dr explanation of why this is this way somewhere?
  17. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hey yall, We are adding a non RVU 4k Tv to our household. We currently only have 720p TV's. The location the TV is to be installed in, currently has our very long in the tooth HR20-100. The old tv will go to a new location in the house where we currently dont have a TV or Directv receiver. In...
  18. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Thanks guys thats what I was thinking. The UPS that my genie is on died and I manged to score a 1000VA yesterday on amazon for $85 and dont have a specific use for it yet, It will be overkill for the genie and the PI but....
  19. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Wanting to see if something I have been told by installer after installer is true. That power inserters should never be powered by a UPS. With the tendency to have lots ( probably 20-30 a year) of brief 5 second or less power outages I run a lot of UPS's. All 3 DVR's are on one but I have always...
  20. DIRECTV Connected Home
    You probably got caught in the same upgrade snag I did with another app. Had App X installed on phone, running 5.x Android. App installed fine. Phone got upgrade to 6.x. New version of app released that blocks running the old version, requires you upgrade (similar to D*). So I try to upgrade, it...
