DECA One thing you can try is to remove the DECA adapter connected to your router. What that will do is remove the DHCP addressing on the router side. You will still have MRV, just no DOD. You can manually configure each receiver's IP address. Make sure they are all on the same subnet. See if...

"Assigned" Installer Has this installer you refer to, that has been assigned to you, been back out? We've chatted---twice. I suggested we postpone a visit since the software updates seemed to be having a positive effect.

If you are referring to Harshness, this is very typical behavior of his. I think he enjoys it, don't let it get to you.....he's not even a DirecTV customer....ignore him like the rest of us do..... Well thanks! But since he comes off as some sort of "guru" he taints your forum. And, since...

caps... On the 8-way SWiM splitter you are not using every port. Are there caps on the unused ports? Yes.

Jag 72 has been helpful. DTV is doing their best.

Absolutely! Let's not air dirty laundry in public. I love D*TV. Been with 'em since 1995...six digit customer number. Their installers have always been great. Their inbound customer service is a crap shoot. BUT. When a forum "guru" provides nothing but attitude and implies that " I must...

Well thanks for straightening me out. And thanks for jumping in late on a discussion and providing your insights. Rather than solutions or helpful suggestions I'd have to say that narcissistic, self aggrandizing, pedantic, "techno babble" is exactly what I was hoping for on this forum. This...

Semantics. Love your dog pic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the various D* boxes move audio/video data exclusively via DECA. Connection to the home network is only to provide internet access for TV App/Network Services, VOD, PPV. Network Services/TV Apps now work on all four boxes. Updated the DIR-655 firmware and unchecked...

I can disconnect the powered DECA which ties to the home network (two installers and I have done so) with zero effect on the "playback failed" issues. As it should be. It's only there for internet access. It is better. HR24 updated software this AM (0x3e0). As each D* unit upgrades, the...

There are no splitters. There are no four ways or two ways. Nothing has been done to change or enhance the install. Since the audio/video feed is via DECA and not via my router DHCP is a moot point. And anyway, no, my router doesn't and since my router is not part of the D*T* DECA network...

We've already done that. We're on installer #3 who has been assigned to us for the next 90 days so we don't have to go through D* inbound. If D* had a clue I wouldn't be here.

We had some issues last evening but we also had thunderstorms from the SW which could have been a factor.

YES! And just to be sure, I went around a rechecked every single component for a green label. I was with the installer at every stage. I can even look at the new LNB and see a green label although it is beginning to fade to yellow.
