you can keep calling dtv. The more you call the more they work on your issue and escalate it to the office of the president.

Did ya do search for the code?

I have the 890 on my HR22 and One on my HR23. I think I'm using the HR20 as the reference model.

Like I said, other than the guts and the color (physical differences) of the receivers, they are the same when it comes to programming and how they are viewed onscreen.

the only thing different about the hddvrs are the color and guts. everything else remains the same.

The HD and SF is not free. When you compare how much you paid for it before without SF/HD, it was $99 cheaper with ST running around 200-250 depending on when you got it. Now, they're including the SF with ST and running the price around 300-330 depending on the pack you choose.

well, I can tell you right now your only getting 8 tuners on that and your using 7 unless you use 1 tuner on your HDDVR. But either way, you'll need to upgrade your lnb if they have em available to a 16 tuner and add another splitter and possibly another power inserter. Or......you can go...

There are 2 ways. First off, which SWM do you have? You'll either have 4 lines coming from dish into a switch or 1 line going into a splitter to figure it out if your not sure by the top of your head.

You know, alot of people go out and so called " buy " these receivers from places like best buy or wal mart and not think twice about whether your paying the whole retail value or just paying the upgrade fee for those items. Regardless, the associates at the store of where you bought and paid...

the splitter is the multiswitch. Just make sure it is a SWM splitter and not just any splitter since the frequencies are different. You also have to make sure your PI is plugged in on the power passing side of the splitter or you will have problems getting a clean signal. And if you want to...

you need 2 homeplug power strip. one on each end. you can get em from directs website or call to place an order for us to come out and install it for an extra fee. once installed connection established, it's gonna be about 24 hours until you see a diffrence in your menu and on demand channels...

Or how about this, pick a dvr that you dont often use to record and change channels and change it to a single tuner dvr. that would eliminate extra equipment, extra wire, and your able to add the 5th reciever and still only use 8 tuners altogether without disrupting a dvr.

did you download and installed the birdog program onto your computer? If not, go to www.birdog.tv and download it. once that is done, pick the satellites you want on it and update it.

Better add another 40 on top of that then.:D

since your in Jax, you should see a splice where all 4 wires come in at on the outside before your wires enters the house, and a 10 gauge (green) ground wire going to the main house ground or the electrical box. If you dont see those you need to get into contact with directv and generate a...
