Thanks, all clear now. I'm the only person in the house so I think bandwidth shouldn't be a problem for me...I think DECA's a good poor man's solution to wiring up the house even if not officially supported.

That's exactly what I'm going to do...I didn't apperciate how to do that when I originally posted, and in particular I didn't realize that I could do that by getting a green splitter and power for the DECA which I have just ordered. Originally I thought I could save some equipment and cabling by...

Thanks. I also found this link to a discussion thread which makes things fairly clear as well. http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-technical-discussions/215237-deca-hr24.html

Thanks TS7- so just to confirm, you have the DECA box attached to the HR24 and the ethernet from DECA plugged into the HR24 and it works? For some reason, that doesn't work for me even if I reset the receiver. The DECA lights turn on green for part of the boot up, but then just turn off...

I've done more reading and your statement sounds decidedly wrong. Apparently all I need is one of the green two way coax splitters and a powered DECA box. Send one coax to the HR24, one coax to DECA, DECA ethernet out to my switch, switch to ethernet input of HR24 and I'm done.

Thanks. I did a little more reading on this - is it the case that simply installing the DECA power adapter wouldn't solve this problem? DIRECTV DECA Networking Components for MRV

I just had MRV installed today. In addition to the other message I posted about my issues with HR24, I had another question: I have some satellite outlets that currently have NO set top box connected. I was hoping to use one of the DECA boxes to get an ethernet network connection in those...

I just got MRV installed today. I have 3 HR22's and they installed 2 new HR24's. I was hoping to take advantage of having ethernet at all of my endpoints to attach other devices like Apple TV etc. But, as far as I can tell the HR24 does NOT have pass through internet from its ethernet...
