  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    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...

    Longtime DirecTV subscriber (1996), former beta tester, longtime DBSTalk participant, former Edgecutter, but haven't been active for years and I don't know the current state of things with DirecTV/AT&T HD DVRs. My current equipment: My main DVR is an HR34-700 which I have really liked. The...

    Current configuration HR44, HR23, C41 and wireless bridge. Lost whole home on the HR44 being able to view the HR23's shows with the new GUI and have since purchased a new 4K TV. If I upgrade to the HS17 and replace my HR23 with a client, will the C41 wireless client work with the HS17? If...

    Hello, I'm a long time customer and have a free upgrade coming. My equipment is several years old and have been attempting to find information on the Genie 2 in the forums. I would like to know the model number so I can look it up here. Also, is there just one model for HD and also 4K? I don't...

    Just got a sweet new 4K OLED TV, so I figured I'd call D* to check into getting a HR54 and other required equipment. Unfortunately I was quoted $400 for a "upgrade". I've been with D* since '96 and have the protection plan. The CSR acknowledged that, but said I was out of luck until August...

    We have 7 TVs. I am trying to set up 2 new 4K TVs and 5 1080P TVs. I am eligible for a DirecTv upgrade. Currently we have 2 HR22-100, H23-600, and 4 H25-500 devices. It would be nice to have a wireless connection but not required. We have the current devices wired via coax. Is there extra cost...
  7. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Hello everybody I have 2 hotels setup with DirecTV DRE (basic, I guess) and would like to know what it would take to upgrade to a DirecTV plus system. I would not need the DVR function. What is all needed to upgrade from a DRE to DRE plus? My current receivers are H25/100 with software 0xa5c...

    Two TV's, each with an HR22. Out of contract. Is it worth the performance upgrade, capacity increase and 24 month contract to upgrade to a Genie HR44 and just keep one HR22 (tip $ for a possible HR24 swap)? I prefer the extra 2-tuners and DVR capacity over a Mini on TV #2, but it's slow. I...
  9. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I've been with D* for about 8 years and I keep receiving emails that I'm eligible for new equipment, but I'd like to have a better idea what my options are before I call D*. If I read it correctly, I have a 5-LNB Multi-Satellite Dish plus a Multi-Switch KA 6x8. I presently have one HR21-100 and...

    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...

    Is this forum going to upgrade to v4? If you do, I got a Q about it. I'm curious how v4 handles its smilies. I hate IPS v3.8 single only group. My forum, Mets Paradise, is heavy into smilie usage and the vB organization of smilies the one thing I miss when my forum converted from vB to IPS...

    I was wondering if Directv is planning on upgrading the HR* platforms? Is anything in development? Release dates? I love my HR24, but the interface is tired and outdated. My girlfriend has DISH and the interface seems fresh and modern with lots of color and logos, etc. Still love my HR24...
  13. DIRECTV Connected Home
    Hi, I currently have 5 HD-DVRs (HR24-500 x3, HR23-700 & HR22-100) for use in my Whole-Home setup. I have had these DVRs for quite awhile and want to possibly upgrade to some newer equipment. Since we really only view content from these 5 DVRs on two TVs (wife/mom's room & man cave), I do not...

    I currently have 3 DVRs - an HR24 and 2 HR20's. All boxes are networked (WWDVR). Do you think I'd gain anything from a Genie setup? Any technical advantages or price advantages? Thanks!
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I want to upgrade my Directv receivers. Been a long time customer as you can tell from my equipment. I have HR20-700 and Dvr R10. Does it require a phone line (I have one now but would like to eliminate if not needed)? Does it require internet? I have 6MB internet currently but in a...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I need advice on Directv and the receiver options available. I am very new to the use of Directv equipment having moved in with my dad who has been a user since 2001. He is 88 y/o and has no idea about equipment, only that it should function and be simple to use. Current equipment in use...
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    First off, hello old friends. I've been out of the loop for some time now so be easy on me. Been with DirecTV since 2006. I'm starting to take a serious look at adding to my install of mainly HR20's, 21's and 22's (probably replace one) with one of these Genie's. Will a Genie play nicely in...
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi all, I've read some of the other posts, but I feel like I still need some advice. We've been having some issues with the HR22-100, so we thought it was time to upgrade. The only other receiver we currently have hooked up is an old Samsung SIR-300, standard def. I was thinking about keeping...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I see that I now have a "You qualify for an upgrade to the latest DIRECTV® equipment." showing on my D* account. Goes on to say, "Your DIRECTV™ PROTECTION PLAN includes an equipment upgrade every 2 years. Click Upgrade/Add Receiver above". However, I searched for "Upgrade/Add", and there's...
