    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    Jimbo, as always thank you again, feeling even more “dense” now. Over the years, you and Chip, have been most helpful and patient and it’s much appreciated. Many thanks again!

    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    Boy I must be stupid, and am confused. Understand connecting HR54 to an “OUT” port on the splitter ....but am lost when you say “with the line from the IN port”. What specific ”line” are you referencing? Sorry for my density...and thx for the help!

    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    Hi folks, thx for the help. So just to make sure what I’m hearing here. The LNB goes to IN, and the HR 54 and client are connected to any of the OUTS? Thought for sure, I did this, but will try again when I return in a couple weeks and report back. Many thanks again.

    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    My apologies for delayed response but been traveling. Attached a pic of my wiring, where one of the whites is the LNB, the other white feeds the client, both connected to OUT, the black connected to IN and goes to HR54 because I removed PI from configuration. So HR54 is working fine, but when...

    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    Just looked closer as it’s been a couple years since I’ve been able to return. So my old set up with HR24 and H25, has the dish going into one of the splitters 4 outs, and then a short coax to a P121R, and then from the P121R to the now HR54. Also from one of the the splitter OUTS, the coax...

    Proper splitter for HR54 and C51-100 ?

    I use to take my HR24 with an H25 to my vacation cottage and had it setup using a Splitter SWM 4 Way ( MSPLIT4R-03) to send signal to the H25. I have now switched over to HR54 with a C51-100 mini-client, and when I take them to my cottage, the mini client does not seem to get the signal, so am...

    Questions about moving to Genie system from HR24/25 system

    Yes, I did, because our bill jumped from $140 to $195 in the last 2 months because we lost a $50 discount we received 2 years ago when we complained for the first time in over 9 years. Funny, that right after we got the $50 discount, they jumped our bill a month later, and then applied the $50...

    Questions about moving to Genie system from HR24/25 system

    Texasbrit, thank you,. So if the Costco employee gave me wrong info...I guess I should call their national customer support to ask/report them. My current DirecTV contract ended a couple months ago. But there has to be a time limit where I cancel DirecTV and can go back to Costco for their...

    Questions about moving to Genie system from HR24/25 system

    Thank you.... So if I understand correctly..I could use my HR24/H25 with the Genie HR54 and have 4K capability, or use my HR24/H25 with the HR44 and not have 4K capability on the Genie side, but if I want to make use of my HR24/H25, I should avoid the Genie HS17?

    Questions about moving to Genie system from HR24/25 system

    Understood regarding Costco program, but if I were to stop Directv for 61 days I would be allowed to go with them. And if that were the case, and I still had my older Hr 24 and H25 gear, which Genie system should I try and go for that would allow me to add my older HR24 and H25 with a new Genie...

    Questions about moving to Genie system from HR24/25 system

    I apologize, but I am getting so confused...... Thought I had addressed what I am trying to do....so excuse my efforts to explain again. In order to get my horrendous DirecTV costs down, I have to move to a Costco program where they only offer to come out and in stall a Genie system....they...
