  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    My older Genie system was replaced with an HR54 & C41's system and I use Logitech Harmony (650 & 700) IR remotes. I have noticed the IR operation on the HR54 / C41's is atrocious, it's highly unreliable missing commands consistently and adjusting the repetitive function on the Logitech...

    My Mom recently was upgraded to HR54-200 as an MPEG swap. The receiver box and main TV are located in the living room. In years past, my brother had run a coax through the wall to a TV in the bedroom and she could mirror the signal to that TV. After the technician left, we found the coax cables...

    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 continue to have problems keeping up with this HR54. It is always on the edge of running out of space, last night showing only 6% free space. I proactively deleted many many recorded shows and it didn't seem to be gaining much ground until I deleted one 30 minute show which then all of a...

    So my boss decided to upgrade his DirecTV equipment. He had been using an old D12 receiver, with a round dish (18 x 20), and was only getting SD video. When he called to upgrade, the rep told him they'd send him an HR54 (with DVR) and that it would work with his old dish. I had told him...

    HR54, When watching TMC and Showtime, have gotten pixilated screen and then a few moments of x-rated scenes. Was shocked at first, WHAT THE HELL?? Anyone seen this before?

    What is the best way to go about getting an HR54 to replace a current HR44 without having to lock in? I’ve tried searching threads but can’t find any info regarding the no contract part. I’ve been having issues with my HR44 and rather than getting one of those again under warranty would like the...

    We've had this HR54/500 (6 TB) for about a year and a half with no problems. 8 SEP, 3:29a MST: Software version 0xd80 comes on line. 8 SEP: I go to bed with 1% Free. 9 SEP: I wake up to find 10% Free; oldest recordings seem to be intact. I call D* to ask tech. support what is going on, and...

    So I cancelled 12 year service 16 months ago for a year assignment overseas. I have been back 4 months and decided to go with TimeWarner (Spectrum) + TiVo. Mostly because I have 8 TVs (yes that is ridiculous) and even though the sunk cost in TiVo was a large amount it's CapEx vs. OpEx. There...

    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...

    Anybody have any info on this update? Just received it yesterday morning on my HR 54-200. Once again, can't seem to find word one about it here - or at the other place for that matter.

    My HR54 has been on 0x0BF4 since Aug. 24, yet there's still not a word about it in the sticky section here. Seriously, what the heck has happened to this place?
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Forgive me, as I'm not a very technological person. Please bear with me as I try to explain my problem. I have an HR54 Genie DVR, my second one. I have had the same issue with both that I have repeatedly complained about to DirecTV. The good folks at DirecTV act like they have no clue what I'm...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm a long-time DirecTV customer and I'm investigating upgrading equipment. I currently have an HR21-200 (with AM21 OTA), HR21-700, and a TiVo SAT-T60. One of the HR21's is getting flaky (pixelating often) and the TiVo is downright ancient. It's been probably 6 or 7 years since I've upgraded...

    Trying to connect my new HR 54 with my sling box. Should I get the component or composite dongle to output the box to sling? I am concerned the component signal will get shut off if I am tuned to HD content due to hdcp. Will the hdmi signal going to my set continue after plugging in...

    I wanted to see if anyone else is having the following issue with DirecTV Genie Systems. I am a systems intigrator and have been working on this stuff for over 15 years. This one is issue is really getting to me. I have two clients that I service with Genie systems having issues that I know...

    I have had an HR44 and now an HR54 Genie in my home. I have attempted to install an external hard drive to each of them without success. The unit will recognize the drive, even format it, but the system slows to a crawl for any action (change channel/ MENU/ GUIDE/ LIST etc) and then has...

    All, Had an HR34, swapped it out for a HR54 yesterday. The Vantec Nexstar RAID Box worked fine with 2 Seagates (each 3TB) in RAID 1 with the HR34. Not so with the HR54. Had to switch to a single drive (WD AV 3TB) and a Voyager S3 dock. Have found one RAID 2 disk box in another...
