    Guys I'm really sorry, I knew that I was double posting, I thought that I was just gonna get yelled at for putting the question in the wrong place. I actually meant to put a reply to ignore/please delete. Again, sorry. As for the question, it seems to work, it is just that every 30 minutes or...

    H24 not finding HR24 Hello again... So I had my MRV working before I connected my HR24 connected to the net. Before you stop reading, this is a Fully DECA system, ie DECA adapter to my in house network, so it isn't a Ethernet port vs DECA issue.... Here is my setup. Dish to 1to4 SWM-...

    Yeah, thats the problem, who runs double RG6 runs close to each other (besides half the people on here). In the house I build ....two words....server room. Thanks for all your help, I'll write up how it goes.

    @The Merg Yep, that's the plan. Or I may not split it, and instead hook it all up to an existing COAX run that is in a room with nothing connected to it. For me either will work, and because my house isn't wired for ethernet, I'll have to use a wireless bridge. Thanks again.

    Ohhh, haha, that sucks then. I rescind my previous comment. That really irks me(I work in embedded systems, and this concept isn't old). But oh well. @Merg Yes, I did say to the tech I wanted MRV as well as On Demand (I ordered the MRV $3/mo with him there). Even his supervisor was there...

    Actually, most modern computing platforms have networking hardware has a separate chip for handing network traffic, then shares the data via a shared memory chunk. Its actually a quite fast and efficient thing. (Just like your PC and a external NIC, the NIC does all the work, and most desktops...

    Solid state order done, now all I have to do is wait! Thanks again for all of your help, this forum frickin rules. 5 Minutes on here vs. 5 hours on the phone, thanks again guys.

    Yeah, mine is a dish->4way->boxes right now. I'm just gonna split it. I may just buck up and run some CAT five around my living room to my router... Otherwise, I'm just gonna get a good ole Linksys WRT54g and convert it to a bridge, $18 bucks on ebay....choices choices...

    Ah, ok, SWM splitter nice. Alright, I'm gonna buy that stuff. Thanks so much for your help, I figured I was reposting a little bit, but I had a hard time finding info on HR24 stuff. Thanks again.

    Would putting in a splitter degrade the signal? I'm not familiar with SAT but with cable I always tried to split as least amount of times as possible. Thanks again.
  12. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I thought as much. It's ok. Even though my SWM is outside, what I'm gonna do is just connect a random COAX run that is in a room without TV or Internet. (SWM)<---->(COAX in Random Room)<--->(DECA Adapter)<--->(Power & Wireless Bridge) Sorry the power and wireless bridge label is more of a...

    Ok, I went through the nightmare (brand new to DTV) install which left me with MRV but not internet. I understand that the HR24 is either DECA or Ethernet, and not both. With that said, I refuse to spend another $100 getting a install just for the internet, I'd rather buy the parts and do it...
