    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.

    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...

    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...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    Here is some of the things a D* tech and myself have done. The DVR's are all located on the same DECA/SWIM. These DVR's are on a 4 port splitter. This includes the HR-34, and 3 HR-22's. The other non-DVR receivers are not of critical issue to not be connected to the same SWIM-DECA setup...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    I was advised by the tech to run the DECAS to the same router. He didnt mention anything about a specific setup for the router. Secondly, all the content locally is streamed thru the coax, no? I dont know if that will solve the issue. This morning I am going to go to the "headend" and put...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    There are two DECA's. One for each swim unit. There is a individual run of CAT 5 for each DECA to the same router. Great question, I didnt add that to the description. One thing I am going to do tonight is a patch... there are five HD receivers, non-DVR's, I dont watch any content from the...

    how much is your genie(hr34) costing you?

    I wasnt a jerk or D-bag at all.. Hell I was very polite but the CSR wasnt able to do anything for me... I was out of contract and she wasnt very helpful. Im not a jerk to the people who work a D*... Just went a different route and it worked. I want to clear the air that I was not and have not...

    New HR34-700 install in large SWIM setup.

    I will try my best to establish the install with a new HR-34-700 (Genie) DVR. I have a large number of DVR's and HD receivers in a 16 port SWIM install. Of the 16 ports that was there, 12 were being used. As we know the HR-34 wants/needs 5 ports. Unless I was going to sacrifice a receiver...

    how much is your genie(hr34) costing you?

    I called D* several months ago to inquire when I would be out of contract. The CSR told me it would be Oct 17, 2012. I called today to get a Genie receiver. The first CSR I called said it would cost me $299 for the unit, I also wanted to get a D* with Tivo for the wife. She really liked the...

    To SWM or not to SWM... Im in the movers package

    To SWM or not to SWM THanks all for the great advice. It seems like the SWM is the way to go for the next install. Today I ran 8 runs of coax from the headend to the area for the receivers to feed the 7 flat panels.. in the run I put 4 CAT6 runs. My experience has allowed me to learn how to...
