  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have an SL5 on the roof and usually use a HR24 receiver with a power inserteror 2 weeks I will be without my Rcvr( don't ask it's a long story).

  6. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have the HR24, a SWM8 module and the power inserter. It is my understanding that the power inserter can be installed indoors by the RCVR. My run is about 20 ft. from the roof to the RCVR. Why is a short cable a problem? Does the one cable hook up to the #1( sat2) or the #2 port on the rcvr...

    If I call Directv and convince them I should get an HD dvr to replace my old SD rcvr. which model will they send me? Will it be used or refurbed or brand new. I want an HR24 but if I cannot get it for nada I will just buy one. Would they send a slimline dish or do they insist on an installer...

    I am going to be doing my own install of Slimline 5. I have done many of the SD 18 inchers and my Hughesnet. However in this case it will be abear. Our house is on an acreage with lots of trees.
