    Whole home dvr problems

    I agree with Claude. Go to menu<setup<system setup<whole home<status to see what it tells you there. Are the "non working" receivers on a different splitter? Might want to check to make sure the caps/terminators are on any unused ports.

    Need Advice-New Construction Home Directv Wiring

    I would run atleast 2 rg6 to each room, for future furniture moving or tv relocation. Run 2 to the home computer just incase one day you use cable modem and Directv BB deca. Also would run phone line to each rg6 also. Would be nice to utilize caller id on each receiver. See if you can run...

    How do I aim my DirecTV slimline dish?

    International is still on 95 and a whole different dish, which is horrible. Supposedly they are working on a new lnb for the slimline to pickup the 95 so you can have international with just one dish. Spanish is not considered international. Korean, and south African are the only kind I have...

    Current odds of getting HR24 and H24 on new Whole Home install

    We are still using 21, 23 and 24. We got a pallet of 25 in Thursday but they are all gone now. And 25 still can plug into component. They should come with (or are available) mini-din 10 pin - component/composite cables.

    Did you move around any connections on your switch/splitter?? Make sure your keep the terminators/caps on the ports not in use.

    Request A Tech

    Depends on how the tech gets routed. Get your appointment scheduled and call Directv and get your activity number and give it to the tech. He then can tell his dispatch to route him to that job. I do it all the time.

    What would you do?

    We got a guy that putts around in his focus two hatch back. Our upper level Mastec guys don't really like it but he is a good worker. He has a 20' folding ladder inside it. Everything for his daily work fits "perfectly" in his car. No more room in the front seat.

    slimline and H24 not getting signal

    Make sure your sat setup is correct, reset box, see if you can force a software download ( reset box, at "hello" screen type 02468). We were having problems with the h24-100s doing the same thing. Getting signal at the line but box not receiving a thing.

    What can I do?

    From a few past experiences I've had with movers in your situation is Directv will cancel your contract no fees needed. As long as you can get the documentation from the office stating specific dish mounting rules and have your installer note it can not be done to those rules you should be fine.
