6 TV locations. Whole home with one Genie 44 & 3 mini clients + one HD-DVR + one regular HD reciever. Total of 8 tuners I believe. I ordered an upgrade of the regular HD receiver up to an HD-DVR for $99.00
They arrived yesterday and all was going well until during authorization it wouldn't recognize the second tuner on the HD-DVR. Seems the switch & LNB are only good for 8 total tuners and since the HD-DVR adds one more tuner, they have to change hardware on the roof, so he had to reschedule. He temporarily authorized the new HD-DVR as a single tuner unit until he can get back next week sometime.
Meanwhile although I can watch TV and access the Genie's playlist, the new DVR's HDD won't actually combine with the Genie and other HD-DVR's HDD. I can live with this for a few days but I'm also having trouble accessing On-Demand programming and I can't get an internet connection on the new DVR. I tried running an Ethernet cable but it still won't connect. Is all this because of the work they still have to do? Was just hoping to get on demand on the new DVR over the weekend but it's not a real big deal. I also wanted to have a basic understanding to what they need to do when they return.
Thanks,
Walt
