    Setting up broadband with HR24-500

    If you connect an H24, HR24 or an H25 with ethernet cable, you must have ALL receivers connected with ethernet for Whole Home to work. This is due to the fact that there are 2 network adapters in these receivers. One for the Ethernet Port and one for the Satellite In cable. If you connect the...

    Upgrade Lagging HR34 to HR44 or Service Call and hope to get a HR44 as replacement?

    Upgrades dont work as far as model numbers go (HR34 to HR44 is not considered an upgrade). A Mini Genie to an HD-DVR would be an upgrade. NOTE: Upgrades go based on TYPE of receiver e.g. HD receiver to an HD-DVR is an upgrade, HR23 to an HR24 is not.

    Upgrade Lagging HR34 to HR44 or Service Call and hope to get a HR44 as replacement?

    Clearing the NVRAM can speed receivers back up also. Go to channel 1. Wait 5-10 seconds On remote, press RED / RED / BLUE / BLUE / YELLOW / GREEN. See message, "Observe NVRAM/Flash is cleared" on bottom of screen. It may be hard to read.

    Can not program remotes...

    C41 remotes are RC71 models. They are normally programmed to the TV (and sound sytem if you have one) after you set them to RF mode. If they are in IR mode, you program them the same way as an older remote. See the posts above for help doing it this way

    Can not program remotes...

    Dont use the remote programming in the settings... Go to directv.com, search for "remote control codes", then put in the TV Brand and Model number (if you know it).. then follow the instructions. This will allow you to program the remote the old fashioned way, rather than "Automagically" Note...

    how do I find the wireless ssid on directv setup?

    Or.. If the password was never changed, just look at the sticker on the back (or Bottom) of the router, the network name (SSID) and password will be printed there

    GenieGO

    Important.. They cant order a specific model of GenieGo. Whether you get the original or the GenieGo 2 is a matter of stock levels and Luck. I think (correct me if I'm wrong), the GenieGo 2 can Stream to 2 different devices (phones etc..) at one time, while the original (Which I have) can only...

    Did D* drop the broadcast networks On Demand?

    Little more info regarding the "Copyright" issue.. The network on-demands wont allow fast forwarding on their downloads. The issue appears to be that on the THR-22, Directv wasnt able to block Fast forwarding. Since they couldn't block it, the networks wont allow them. Your advertising...

    Did D* drop the broadcast networks On Demand?

    Just did some quick research.. here's what I've found 1. Several postings about this issue with the THR-22 (The DTV TIVO box), found a few answers that the network On-Demand channels not showing up was a known issue (However, searches for shows WILL show those channels, but not give access) 2...

    Did D* drop the broadcast networks On Demand?

    Do you get Locals from DirecTV or from an antenna/AM21? Just thinking that maybe without locals they dont show up.. I'll research it and see what I can come up with.. It's a problem I've never heard of before

    Total numbers of receivers on one account

    I think 16 is the most I've seen on one account, not aware of any limit. Although at a certain point I think if it's a residential account, "they" would make sure its a residence and not a Business (Such as a Hotel, Apartment building, etc..)

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    1. Any HD-DVR can get On-Demand, if its connected to the internet. 2. The benefit to wifi is that devices (Like the HR44) can connect to the internet without wires going to the router. The tech needs to know this so he knows if he needs to run an extra cable or not. 3. How big are the HD's...

    DirecTV formally announces Wireless Genie Mini Client

    I think the commercials are gonna cause a lot of problems.. They say "NO MORE WIRES".. but thats not actually true.. Still need a wire from the TV to the wireless client. Lots of people with Wall mounted TV's are gonna think the HDMI cable isnt necessary anymore. I know when I first saw a...
