Strangely, after doing it all night last night, it hasn't done it even once all day today.. very strange!

I have a HR54 (on Ethernet [2xGigabit]) and a C61K (also on Ethernet [2xGigabit] with a DECA adapter between them) and this setup has been rock solid ever since I put it in many months ago. I got the new UI update a few days ago and things have been going fine except for the lag on the main...

My Google-fu isn't finding anything, so I figured I'd ask. Does the C61K support either kind of HDR format (either HDR10 or Dolby Vision)? I'm guessing no as I can't find anything that suggests it does, and I would think that D* would be touting it if it did. Thanks!

He indeed installed the new LNB, removed the 2nd run from the old LNB to the SWM-16 that is mounted outside, and then completely removed and took the SWM-16 with him. Makes sense, thanks! Awesome, I left the BSFs in! I didn't mean CCK-W, I meant the old CCK that I had laying around. I...

If you want the TV to upscale, then just set Native on. With Native off, the client is going to be upscaling!

Not to nit-pick, but a T1 is only 1.544Mbps. Even using H.265/HVEC, a 1080p is 5Mbps, so you're not going to be streaming any HD, let alone 4k, over a T1!

All, First off, excuse me for the random stupid questions that I should already know. I *think* I know the answers, but I'd feel better with some confirmations :). Background: Currently we have a Slimline 3LNB dish with 1 HR34 Genie, 2 HR24s, and 1ancient HR21. Since I'm a dork and have...

Strangely while I had an extra feed from the SWM16, he didn't use the dedicated line for the power injector, he just put it inline with one of the splitter. Are you sure that DTV disabled Ethernet? It worked a couple of weeks ago before I moved at least! Since my small GigE switches aren't up...

Sorry for the multiple questions in one.. figured it was cleaner that way! Just moved again (hopefully for the last time!) and as part of the move they gave us a Genie. So we have: 1 HR34-700, 1 HR24-100, 1 HR24-500, 1 HR21-700, 1 H25-100, and 1 C31-700 (either the C31 or the H25 is going...

Anybody notice that when you skip now, the timeline bar stays on the screen until you hit the EXIT button?

In my case I've set up multiple systems my self... but I'm not renting in a 2-story house, so I keep the plan just to keep my sorry butt from having to climb up on the roof! :)

Weird, mine is working now too. Must have hit it in the middle of an update or something :).

Anybody else having problems w/ On Demand? Using last week's CE I was getting errors that Channel 1000 was unavailable. I reverted back to national and now I can get to On Demand, but the only thing listed is "Welcome to DIRECTV on DEMAND"! What happened to everything?! :(:confused:

That's a HUGE problem with DISH. They only care about the newest models out there, period. Had major problems w/ my 622. Kept telling me it's a known bug and they're working on it. Never offered to replace it, despite the fact that I was paying for DHPP. As soon as I got fed up and called...

Right now I have 1 HR21 and 3 D12s. Maybe I should upgrade one of the D12s to a HR21 before I move! :)
