    Connect on HR23 to internet with ethernet cable

    Hi All. Been a while. I now have an internet connection. I do not have, nor want whole home. I just want to connect one HR23 600 to the internet via an ethernet cable. I tried, but get "Result Code 86-78" I did reset the modem. I did go to reset defaults and tried to connect again. I did do...

    OTA interference with Directv

    I hate to dredge up old posts, but this one seems close to what I just experienced, thankfully not with a neighbor. I have a vizio tv that isn't connected to DTV, just an OTA antenna in the attic and when I have DTV running in the living room, I get a "scrambled" message on the vizio on digital...

    Roof sealant

    What is that stuff you installers use to seal the dish lag bolts? The only thing I've found similar is Black Jack sealant (Lowe's) but it's not exactly the same. That would be good stuff for general roof usage, not just for sat installs. Where can we get it?

    H23R sloooooow

    So, in my quest to improve my setup, my old H23 DVR is getting sloooooow changing channels and loading info. Is there a fix for that? It has served me well over the past few years and I don't really want to get rid of it. Are there software/firmware updates that I can push? I have just...

    H21 700 b band converter?

    Question, I was setting up one of the new to me H21 700 DVRs and when I get to the satellite set up screen it has a note at the bottom that a b band converter is required. Is that true? I'm using an older slimline dish (3lnb it only has one eyeball). I'm getting "771 in 2" on the locals and...

    American Horror Story, this is annoying.

    Hi All, DVR's at it again. I recently had an issue where I set up Walking Dead to record the series and it did not record. I made sure it was #1 in the series manager beforehand. I actually caught it in the act of not recording and when I went to series manager, it wasn't even listed. It's...

    well, I did it, now a question about H24 DVR setup

    I did it. I've upgraded to DVRs for the Den, MBR and Man Cave. I'm supposed to be getting H24R receivers. The question is, do I have to use SWM, or can I just run them off the dish like my current DVR setup using a splitter?

    HD24/25

    Hi Everyone, I'm getting ready for big changes. First, I'm adding DVRs, I think I have that handled. DTV is offering a H34 free and I'll get one more so I'll have 3 total. I don't care for SWM since I'm adding one to the house, then another Slimline dish out at the man cave. (away from the...

    set up in the mountains

    Hi Everyone, It's been a long time since I posted. I had a problem getting my slimline set up but you all helped me out and everything has been running great for most of a year now. So, I have a new issue. I was taking a long weekend off with my BIL and SIL (wife's sister) in the mountains...

    country home/city home

    Hi All, I have two houses, 3 receivers, 2 standard non SWM and one HD DVR. I'm staying in the city home during the week, much closer to work, so I'd like to take just the HD DVR with me. On weekends my wife and I retire to the country home. (no, I'm not rich, just an odd situation at the...
