    Appreciate you sharing that. Hopefully my experience will be the same.

    I contacted the office of the president and the HR24s are phased out. It might be possible to buy one from Solid Signal but they couldn’t guarantee activation would occur. And that would add a two year commitment. So today I finally got a competent customer service rep who got the mini genie...

    Thanks for the reply. All my bills are from Directv. One call gave me a choice of providers, no luck. At one point they transferred me to legacy department, still no luck. Any magic number to try?

    Resurrecting a old thread. Long time Directv customer 20+ year. My account is with Directv not ATT. My set up is 2 HR24s and a HR44 Genie. The HR24-200 started smoking last week and died. Called for a replacement and was told they would replace like for like so another HR24, so I think all is...

    This GUI certainly had me exploring options from Dish and Comcast. I was very close to leaving but D* gave me some credits for a year and I have moved my HR24 to the primarily used viewing room trying to give D* some more time to fix this terrible update. If this new GUI was all I had to use I...

    You may want to try and just run the system test to get the missing recordings back. This works on my HR-44 and is a faster process than a reboot. I still use the older style remote and can get to the system test menu quickly by holding the info button down till the option appears on screen...

    Right, I am not talking about the sat coax, only the coax for the cable modem

    The cable grounding is properly done, so I may have it as good as it can get.
  9. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Is it best to connect the coax to a surge protector? I have the power running thru a UPS but the coax is not. I was ready to buy a surge protector for the coax but came across some reports and recommendations from Cable companies that the surge protection could adversely effect the modem's...
  10. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    This Why would you not want the genie and the 5 tuners? Mini genie yes there is a debate. It could vary be regions I guess but my take on D* installers is that at least in my area they have gotten much better than they used to be. Are there any negatives to upgrading to a genie and SWM?

    What is Jimmy missing out on by not connecting the system to the Internet? I know we have really enjoyed HBO on demand and the ability to catch up on the various HBO series, without Internet I don't think you get the on demand option.

    No one thinks that with only a few hours gone by from initial install that waiting for the '44 to be fully loaded might make a diff?? I suppose it could, maybe something changed in the latest software update that effected more than just the AM21's scanning for channels. It can't hurt to try...

    Not sure it would matter at this point but do you have the ota antenna connected?
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I guess this is a very inconsistent freezing issue as after having significant issues on one on demand HBO show last week, I have not had a repeat occurrence.
  15. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Great tips from all replies. I am just getting up to speed with my new SWM system and what to do when I have an issue and I know more now thanks for your help.

    OOOOOoooohhhh NOOOOOooo not here to. Sorry raromr, I believe this relates to another thread that went on and on and on. The 30 second is only on briefly on my HR44 when activated.

    Setup shows SWM registration error. Continuing set up after running recheck swim. Yahoo, you are the man! Problem solved, thanks HoTat2!
  18. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I will check the cable. I did try swapping coax lines as the tech ran an extra coax line off the same splitter to the bedroom. No luck. I tried moving the coax at the splitter to the same port on the splitter that fed the HR22 at its previous location. No luck. I did note that the coax line...

    Unless by "CCK" the TS means the receiver DECA adapter attached to the HR22. My mistake it is a deca adaptor connected to the HR22.
  20. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have a HR24 & a HR44 these are fed off of one of the 1-4way splitters. I have a H24 & a HR22 these are fed off of the other 4 way splitter, this is the side with the issues. These 2 splitters are fed off of the swim 16, this is the way the D* tech installed it 3 weeks ago.
