We have 3 TV's and they are controlled by an HR44 Genie, a Genie mini (C31-700) and a stand alone HR24. Today, after a power outage ended at our home, all the hardware restarted and appeared to be ok. But about an hour later, the HR44 Genie put up a message that its HARD DRIVE HAD FAILED. I...

Yes, in another room where the SAT signal comes in there is a place where the SAT signal and our internet signal are combined. Then at the current HR22, the reverse occurs when the SAT and internet are broken out and each are separately plugged into the back of the HR22. As I said above, the...

We just received fro Directv an HR24-500-A intended to replace an old and failing HR22-100. The HR22 requires a DCA at the input to separate the internet (Ethernet) and the satellite input signal. Does the HR24 also require a DCA??? There is an Ethernet port on the back of the HR24 but it...

We have three tv's and we have 1- HR44 Genie 2- C31-700 Genie Mini 3- older standalone HR22 I fear the HR22 is soon to die. And I'm opposed to having another Mini because that means if the HR44 dies we lose ALL TV. We recently lost an HR34 that led to the HR44 but while we waited for the...

and won't impact the other RC73 I now have working again??? So two RC73's can both be set up to talk to the one HR44?? Just want a spare but don't want to mess up the one I now have working... Thanks for all the help...

Thanks to both of you (Jimbo and dishrich) for the info. I copied the above links and will read the docs later. I did look over the Quick Discussion doc and that helps. So I don't recall having to do anything with the RC73 remote that came with the HR44 though perhaps I did. Just don't...

Long story as to why this matters but just know that I have an RC66RX remote and an RC73 remote that both work to operate my HR44 Genie that we got about a year ago to replace an old and finally dead HR34. We had a brief power outage yesterday (happens now and then and certainly not the first...

Wow, Lots of information. Thanks... First, all three interim receivers (one HR22-100 that has been part of the install all along and two HR20-700's which are just in there until we decide what Genie to buy to put back in (along with its Genie Mini which is currently unplugged) show Whole...

Hi, I thought I already posted this question but I can’t find it right now so I will try again. Yesterday, I was told I don’t need INTERNET to be able use Whole Home. Here WAS my setup. SL3 LNB SWM dish. 1x4 splitter with power connected to the power special port for that purpose. The...

Hi, Yes, I know about the lease deal. Directv's been doing that for a number of years. My only motive was to get newer and perhaps better supported hardware. I wanted an HR44 when we got the HR34 3 1/2 years ago when we moved to our current home, so the 44 has been around for a few years now...

Hi Joe891, hmmm, one question. About #3. My former three boxes were the HR22, the HR34 and its C31 Mini (3 rooms, 3 TV's). Whole Home worked. Now I've removed the HR34 and the Mini and simply hooked precisely the same cables (same splitter, etc) into two older HR20's we had in storage?? But...

Hi, Our HR34 Genie's hard drive had been trying to die for a long time and finally did 4 days ago. Our setup as installed by Directv when we moved to a different home in 2014, was the HR34 in one room, a C31 Genie Mini in a second room and an older HR22 (one of three HD-DVR's we brought with us...

Help me understand what is going on. I had an HR34 Genie and one Genie Mini hooked up to two tv’s. The Genie finally died (hard drive). I have two older HR20’s in storage that Directv did not want back 3 years ago when we switched to the Genie. So Directv, at my request, deactivated both the...

By the way, I WAS able to reactivate my HR20's and after some interesting issues getting the HR20 to stop telling me it couldn't find a good signal on Sat Input 2 (yes, because there was NO CABLE hooked up to the Sat Input 2, the entire idea behind SWM, right???) I did finally get one of my...

As I said in a previous post, our HR34-700 Genie finally died (hard drive) a couple days ago. I was told by DTV that if I seek a warranty replacement (we do have the equipment protection plan after my wife just said “let’s get it” a couple days ago) they would send me either an HR44 or HR54 but...
