  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, I spent a whopping two full hours on the phone with retention today. I have an Genie and C61, but wanted to add my owned HR24-200 to the bedroom as my HDMI splitter attempts failed (it split OK, but every time I used pause or FF it would turn on the Living room TV, even with CEC...

    Moved to a new house last week and the installer came Saturday to hook everything up. Everything works fine save for one room where we're getting video but no audio (sort of). It's a home theater room where the previous owner left some equipment which we hooked up to the DirecTv receiver...

    Hi, Yesterday, I started getting 771 no-signal errors on Tuner 2 on my HR24. Tuner 1 gives high signal values for all satellites 99-103 except the 99s/103s spot-beams, as expected. I have a SWM-LNB with one cable running from the dish to a 4-way green-label splitter. The splitter feeds a HR54...

    Are existing d/att customers who do not want the restrictions of a “lease” able to still buy or pay full price for an “owned” HR24 receiver? Currently only have “owned” receivers on my account, no “leased” equipment. My account has been migrated to the new system. Have enjoyed being able...

    I'd like hardware suggestions and possible solutions. Here's my deal; I'm running an HR24-500 along with the AM21 OTA tuner. I hadn't been watching any OTA content for at least a couple years and only recently decided to get back into seeing what's out there in terms the locals. As I'd...

    I created this thread for others to consider before they swap their HR2x (HR22, or HR24) for an HR54 (Genie). I say HR22 and HR24 as those are the two models I have first hand experience with. The pros and cons are my opinion and how I think a DVR should work. I understand other users will have...

    I currently have an old dish with a separate SWM-8, 1x8 splitter, DECA and 2 HR24. The older HR24 (activated in 2011) started to pixelate all of a sudden. Red button reset, and self-tests show ok, but within a minute or two pixelation started again, and got worse within a few minutes. Nothing...

    For about a year after I got my HR24 hooked up to a (then 40") Sony TV, it sometimes got the display format correct and sometimes showed SD video in HD format, so everyone was too fat. I had to keep adjusting the display settings. I don't know what the technician did, but when I finally...

    I had an HR24 connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable which was plugged into a switch, which was connected to a router. I replaced the carpet in my condo with tile. Now I want to connect everything using Wi-Fi. I now have an Engenius Access Point which is connected to my switch, so my...

    Hi I currently have two HR24s in a central rack hooked up to internet via ethernet - whole home over ethernet approved on the account. I'm looking to add 4k. I know I need the HR54 and C61K x3 (want three separate streams). Everything will be installed with a central rack and using HD over...

    DIrecTV tells me I should be able to replace my HR24 with a Genie HR54 without changing my dish or wiring. But when we tried to order the Genie, they said it had to be installed by a DirecTV technician. They couldn't explain why. I currently have multiple HR24s connected to a switch and an...

    Apologies if this has been asked, but for some reason my new HR24's keep getting switched on by themselves in the middle of the night. I've got one in my home office, another in the bedroom. Both are definitely turned off at night. But since I've had them installed this past Wednesday, I've...

    DTV says no-no to multiple HR44s on a system. Is that a technological prohibition or just one of their crummy house rules with no valid purpose. I am thoroughly disgusted with the 20's-series boxes and asked for another 44 to replace the HR24... But I'm denied. Recommendations?

    Lately our HR24-500 has sometimes continued to record beyond the end of a program. Not just a few minutes, either, if not caught and the recording stopped manually, it can continue for hours or days. This is a problem, because it occupies a tuner and later scheduled recordings are getting...

    I have an HR24 exhibiting some strange behavior (may be doing it on the HR22, but have not confirmed it yet). Symptoms: A show is selected to record. While recording, if you navigate to it in the guide, it displays it as being recorded, i.e. the orange dot with letter R displays after the...

    I have been with DirecTv since 1996. My system lately is having numerous problems that I am stumped. Let me start with the equipment I currently have: HR34-700, 2 HR24-100, H24-100, H25-100, AM21 (Connect to Genie), Swim 16. All receivers have the latest national release of the software...

    Trying to connect my HR24 receiver at my cabin. This will be limited use and not "stacked" as we won't be at our primary when at the cabin. DTV Dish is already on cabin. It looks to be a slimline with the 3 things on the arm. 3 cables coming from that. I took my HR24 (home is SWM) to the...

    Hello--- I have a HR24-200 with the standard 500GB HDD for nearly three years, and it's nearly full of programming (~ 95% full). I need to replace the internal 500GB drive with a larger capacity drive (1.5 or 2 TB probably).... I also want to take the settings & programming from the existing...

    Smart Search has apparently stopped working on both our HDDVR's - an HR22/100 and an HR24/500. The guide is populated out to two weeks, and future shows correctly appear in the guide, but a smart search for those shows returns no results. For instance, by scrolling out in the guide we can see...
