    DirecTV iOS app control of receivers

    Update on the app usage. The Presidents assistant has been in contact for several months. Went through the usual troubleshooting steps....see below. All checked out and verified the receivers have access to the internet. I sent a wireshark packet capture when the ipad attempts to connect to...

    DirecTV iOS app control of receivers

    I have had pretty good success with the app. Able to change the receiver channel for the game/channel I need. The receivers are not populating on the receiver list as of lately. I sent an email to the Directv presidents offices that I have used for another issue. Will see what the result is...

    DirecTV iOS app control of receivers

    Not sure how many of the group here uses the DirecTV app on a iOS ipad or iphone. I use the app to change the channels on several receivers tucked away in a separate part of the house. Over the past several days I have noticed the app does not show any of the receivers on the network. I have...

    Would there be any benefit or not to call a local re-seller for the install of the equipment, dish and misc vs calling D* to re-instate the account from suspension?

    I work in retentions for DirecTV.. ask me anything you want to know

    Im on suspension right now for moving. I have a large number of receivers, 13. When I call in to re-connect what kind of things should I be asking or looking to ask for in the conversation? Should I call retention, tech support, movers etc? The account is out of contract as a side note...

    Yes we have taken the number into account of tuners in DVRs and the GENIE. I like the switch you pointed out... like the new stuff to accommodate these type of installs instead of cobbling a system together with splitters.

    GREAT INTEL!!!!! Will D* be able to bring this for install or is this not in their warehouse? I have run into this type of issue in the past.

    We will be using 13 tuners/TVs. I am going to be running the cable today to all of them. 7 TV/tuners are on a media wall/Sunday Ticket, then the rest are scattered about in bedrooms-patio-game room. So sounds like the HS17 will not be solution. In the past all TVS/tuners have been in the...

    Thank you MDRAM! The HS17 maxes out for 7 tvs to stream to -correct? Or there can only be seven TV's in the entire system? What if a TV has its own receiver in the system lets say a simple HD box then the system can accommodate additional receivers? I read the pdf on the HS-17 and just...

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the explanation on the setup. Yes it is complicated and alot going on. Each receiver has a TV, there will be 13. Instead of thinking of what equipment we currently have, I will defer to the forum for what we should have! Thanks for the advice on the HR54...

    Im about to embark on the process to call D* to start the install process of the equipment in our recently purchased house. In the previous home we had two SWIM-Two DECA units running to a total of 13 receivers, a gigabit router was needed to tie the two DECA units together - we found that...

    Disconnect message for playlist

    I have noticed in the last hour as I watch on my ipad via Slingbox that each one of the HR-DVR units has disconnected from the home network and the message keeps showing up. I just had another DVR show up. I use my sligbox-ipad combo nearly everyday and havent had this message continually show...

    Disconnect message for playlist

    I am getting a message from time to time... MEDIA MAIN has been disconnected from your home network. The Playlist is no longer available. MEDIA MAIN is a new HR34 "Genie" DVR. I am seeing the message on a H-22 receiver. There is a gigabit router for the network connection. Is...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    Both Swims are 16. Sorry for that. My issue is not getting two streams of content from one DVR. 1. Will a HR-22 show a content feed to another receiver, while the originating receiver is recording one show? Mine did not. 2. When I go to another HR-22 and look to play recorded contant...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    Hutch, Here is the setup... Antenna has four coax runs from the LNB. These four are split to eight. Each SWIM is getting four lines. There are two SWIMS and each swim has a DECA run to my router. This router needs to be upgraded, which is going to be a Gigabit switch that will have a subnet...
