how do you do the boolean timer? I need something like this so I can create a timer for MLS games.

No problem. I'm just glad to be rid of using as much wireless. I hate wireless networks.

My receiver must be defective. I am currently running one of my 2 HR24s on a purely ethernet connection, the other using its regular DECA and MRV works just fine. What is supposed to change?

Again, no, that is not what I am talking about. You aren't even reading what I'm saying. Here is the example.... Enter zipcode AABBB, Directv has database entries for 9 channels in this zipcode 3.1, 3.2, 10.1, 21.1, 21.2, 27.1, 33.1, 33.2. Now remove the frequencies from 2 or three channels...

I finally tested the DECA network. I had one computer plugged directly into the 4port 100Mbps router. The other PC was plugged into a DECA in the living room. Transferring large files using windows file sharing (not the fastest protocol) resulted in upstream transfers from PC @DECA of 88-92...

MRV won't stop working just because you plug an ethernet cable into the receiver. The MRV data just travels through the ethernet cable instead of the coax.

Again, people must not know how to read lately. I totally agree the AM21 pulls info from the D* database. My point was ONLY that the AM21 does do some type of scanning because it will only pull down guide info during setup for channels it can see the OTA signal. I have verified this several...

I would do some basic trouble shooting just to make sure. If one of the other digital TVs is small enough, move it to that location and see if it still gets all the channels. Check the signal strength at both locations. The AM21 might not handle weak signals as well as the TVs.

I don't think you completely read my post. I had sub channels that wouldn't appear until the AM21 actually saw the OTA signal. It would only pull the guide info for the OTA channels it saw the signal. Once it saw the OTA signal for the other channels, it then pulled guide info for those...

It does do some type of scanning because it won't load the locals if it is not seeing the signal. I know this first hand when trying to get an antenna aimed properly and having some bad coax. It only fetched channels and added to the guide the ones that it saw the OTA signal. Once the...

I don't think opening ports will change anything for you. I use DHCP and have all my ports completely closed/stealth. Zero problems using on demand features. It takes very little time to try the DHCP setting and see if that helps. Are you sure you are using the right DNS servers?

You can order the AM21 through your online d* account. it is about $55 after shipping, I think. I ordered mine and had it w/in 2 days.

No MKV file should stress a 100Mbps connection. The most I have seen a video file use up is about 30-35 Mbps. I still haven't been able to truly test the bandwidth of the DECA cloud.

If you are watching live TV on at least one of the HDTVs, it doesn't matter. You'll be fine. If you are trying to watch 2 different recorded shows, one on the DVR TV and one on a non DVR TV, I think you are fine. If you try watching 2 different recordings from 2 TVs and neither is at the DVR...

I got the DECA for $15 with free shipping. Went and got a cheap 5-2500Mhz splitter at home depot last night after receiving the DECA. Split the coax to the HR24 and the new DECA. MRV and everything is working flawlessly. My HTPC is now wired instead of wireless and things seem great. I...
