Mark, Assuming the cat5 run goes directly from that jack to a wiring area and all the extensions in the house are not spliced in, then you should be able to reuse the CAT5 for network instead of phone. Here is a link for a wiring diagram: ConnectLink Wireless - Ethernet Wiring Diagram It is...

I will take: AMC HD G4 HD BBCA HD

Is the VM network adapter setup as bridged or NAT'd behind your PC's real IP? I would think you would want it bridged so the adapter is on the same network as the HR21 and can respond to broadcasts/multicasts.

Hum, I am getting the same audio HDCP error as post 11, but my audio is through HDMI with an ATI Radeon 4550 video card. The built-in audio on the PC has been disabled in BIOS so it was the only audio source listed and it shows as HDCP enabled when looking at the audio properties. Anyone run...

Well, where is it? So the rumor mill was saying we were supposed to get the channel yesterday but no luck. Sad because I think a nice amount of their programming would be real HD and not stretch-o-vision like some of the channels in the line-up.

I see the same thing. Both the HR21 and H21 are connected to a switch via cat5, so I don't think bandwidth is an issue, then again, I was the one who terminated the RJ45's and knowing my skill with that, it could be the bandwidth :)

Hi Mike, A broadband router will allow you to share the DSL connection with more devices then just your computer. So, the broadband router (wireless or otherwise) will connect to the DSL modem and then you need a connection from your computer to the router. This can be either wired with an...

I had this problem before but it was an issue that was in Direct's network and they fixed it themselves. Now it is back. I can download content just fine via on-demand but when I go to watch it, I get the error 733, Check internet connection or phone line. Since I can get the content via...

I noticed that I no longer get a network error 22 when doing the network test. Not sure if it is only me that is working again but will take a bet that they figured out the issue.

Direct must have found the issue. I no longer get the error 22 during the network test. I haven't tried purchasing a on-demand movie that has been downloaded yet but my guess is it will work too. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I tried upgrading to the new CE but unfortunately, same problem. Also looked on Direct's site. Some user's errors were related to a DNS issue but I changed my DNS to one that I know resolves the name given in the thread that it tries to connect to and even that didn't work. Still searching...

Tried it directly connected to the cable-modem. It picked up the new IP address but still no luck passing the network test. I didn't want to try purchasing a movie as I wasn't sure if I would be able to watch it in the 24 hrs. Since nobody else is having this issue, possible it is my ISP...

It is hard-wired ethernet. The firewall should allow all traffic outbound. There are no rules denying that. It is a Cisco PIX 501 so it may be a bit more stringent then a home router solution. I will try connecting the receiver directly to the cable modem and after a reboot of both and...

I am having an issue where a HD movie I downloaded last week won't purchase. It says it can't connect to the internet. I ran though the tests and it fails (all the tests pass but the last, internet). The odd part is I can start a new on-demand download and it reaches the internet fine to...

When I came home for lunch a few weeks back to find "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" on MGMHD, I decided that I had to keep the package. Plus, with HD content being scarce, I will take all the non-sports and PPV channels I can get.
