Multiple hr54 instalation

Only ONE HR54 or HS17 or HR44 allowed per ONE account !

You must have three separate accounts to start such endeavor. [say you, your wife and your child]

 

The HR54 is a Genie. AT&T/DIRECTV only allows one Genie per account making your plan null and void.

 

As you can only activate one - You won't need a swim 16 all you need is PI-29 Connect the LNB to one side and the hR54 to IRD port -- That way you don't even need a spiltter - If you had a 2 way swm splitter - Hook the HR54 to port 1 and it will power the lnb

You need Mini's or HD /HDDVR receivers then expand

 

NO. Only ONE HR54 per ONE account!

 

Please provide verified source of the rumors.

 

While I suppose a SWiM LNB can be inferred from "a recently installed dish."

I was going to suggest what you wrote, but wasn't sure as the OP could have an SL-3 legacy LNB installed on the dish.

Well I've heard from a few myself in the past, mainly participating in the CE program, that somehow managed to get at least two Genies activated on their accounts.

Never knew how they did it, or if they still have it today. But do remember reading about it from their posts on the CE forum.

Though this was definitely something special and out of the ordinary they were able to pull off at the time. ...

I would imagine same ...

 

the solution is simple - use three SWiM dishes (best solution as it will create separate MoCA networks server-clients from each other) or one DSWiM30 switch

 

Well a DSWiM LNB that supports up to 21 tuners could handle it of course ...

But what I was told was that multiple Genies with clients don't play well together especially if their is a reboot on one or more of the Genies, its clients have difficulty finding the Genie they were previously assigned to. And either switch and connect to the wrong Genie or disconnect altogether.

Which never really made any sense to me in that DISH found a way to make their clients always reconnect with their assigned Hoppers after a reboot in a multiple Hopper installation.

So why couldn't DIRECTV ever figure-out (or "want to") do the same for theirs?

perhaps no one left in SW Dept who could lead such development … and he will need a team of coders

 

People in the CE program were allowed to have more than one on their account, but that ended with the HS17 - even people in the CE program who went to the HS17 had to live with the restriction of having only the HS17 on their account and nothing else other than clients.

 

It's not a rumor. There were several people in the CE program who were asked to test out multiple Genies on a single account (up to 4, with the SWM30). Everything worked OK until one of the attached clients was disconnected, or one of the Genies was rebooted for some reason. When the system came back up, the Genies and clients could not work out which client should be attached to which Genie, and as HoTat posted, sometimes a client did not connect at all, and you had to close everything down and start again. FYI the HS17 would probably not suffer this problem if you were allowed to connect multiple HS17s, because the HS17 knows which clients it has been allocated. But I think Directv has decided its not worth the trouble, for the small number of people that would do it.

 

Get a RB LNB - that will enable future 4K when needed it will allow 22 SWm Channel (1) for the Guide on single wire -Hr44 =5 tumers Hr54 =7 tuners -- Room to spare --a 2 way swm splitter -Hook the 54 to port one and the 44 to port 2 (the 54) will power the LNB -without a separate power supply.

Then See if you can both activated -when you call in.

 

There's no such thing as an HR55.

What exactly are you trying to do? As has been repeatedly pointed out you will not be able to activate more than one Genie DVR per account. Are you planning to create multiple accounts?
