  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's got to do with how many tuners you can have hooked at once. The SWM stands for Single Wire Multi-Switch. In the old days each tuner required a wire. The SWM means you now only need one wire. But the standard SWM can only handle 8 tuners. To go beyond 8 you need to jump to the SWM16 which...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It was actually a little complicated. I had 2 THR22s and 1 HR24. I never actually had the whole Whole Home networking setup. So I was using Ethernet and the Ethernet port on the HR24 was FUBAR. So I wanted 1 THR22 replaced with the Genie and the HR24 replaced under the protection plan, keeping...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    They did for me. The only fight I had was that they wanted to replace my other DVRs with the mini-clients. And that's where you might have an issue. With 2 DVRs and a Genie you'll have 9 tuners on your account. The standard SWM only supports 8 tuners. Fortunately my installer happened to have an...

    My Directv finally came back this morning. Took a total of 3 days.

    I have the same issue since the 746 update. My system matches yours exactly except, in addition the to the HR24-500, I also have a THR22 hooked up. I haven't bothered to try doing any resets though.

    I haven't seen any mention of this yet. This morning at 3:11AM my system appears to have downloaded 0x746. No notice of any changes. Just had this unit installed on 10-24 and was running 0x744 prior.
  7. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I just had an install for a genie and the guy said he'd never seen an AM21 before. I had to show him how to hook it up. The are at least 15 subs available in the Chicago area and I actively watch at least 10 of them.

    Well they installed my HR44-200, so now I can answer my own questions in more detail.. Yes, inputting the zip code gets you all the sub-channels that D* has guide data for. No, you no longer can even tune to the sub-channels that didn't have guide data before. As an example, here in the...

    I'm getting my Genie installed tomorrow and this topic has me curious. I too have an AM21. When you say that it no longer has the scan ability, I assume that means it automatically knows based on the zip code how to map the OTA channels. Does that mean I'll still get the sub-channels? And what...
  10. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    The thing that really upsets me about this enhanced content is that I don't need it. It's recording PPV movies so you can watch them instantly. OK, but I've been a DTV subscriber for 12 years and have never bought a PPV movie. I don't intend to ever buy a PPV movie. It's a waste of a tuner to...

    Yes you can set text size, the font and foreground and background color, although the text size options are only normal, small and large.

    I saw this before on the HR-24, but only on On-Demand stuff. Lots of stuff is marked with AVAILABLE TILL and you can't save it past that time.
  13. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    With the HR24 it should never stay paused. It will automatically unpause as soon as you switch back to that tuner. But it will be from the exact spot you left it assuming (and this is important) you paused it before switching tuners. If you don't do that it will continue to play while you are...

    Personally I like it. But I've read of others that don't. Can't please everyone.
  15. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Tried, no work.

    It has to be done in a recording. If you try to do it on live TV the 30 will make it change channels. With that said, still doesn't work for me.
  17. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    I've tried a few times using the web scheduler and it's always worked. Unfortunately I don't have an iPad. If you'd like to send me one (nothing fancy) I'll be happy to try it out for you :D

    Providing feedback to one does not preclude providing feedback to the other.
  19. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Is it possible that SOMETHING is customer feedback?
  20. DIRECTV DVR with TiVo Discussion
    Yep, they work.
