    Enter to win: Solar Panel from Sadoun

    I'm in. Would love to see how Solar does in the great white north. (We're all about wind around here!)

    Good diplexer to use with HR-22 and AM21?

    I have a couple of older Terk diplexers that I have been trying to use with my new SWM install (with two HR-22s) , but I lose my Directv signal when I have them plugged in. Anyone recommend a diplexer they know will work with a SWM install?

    MRV Discussion

    One question for those that have tried MRV on H21... can you watch a program that is currently recording? Or does it have to be a completed recording?

    HR-22 "freezes" - reboots needed?

    I've been having issues with one of my HR22's. It seems to lock up or freeze after a time. I get no output on my TV. I also see the blue circle "spinning" constantly. The only way I can get it out of this is to unplug the unit and have it completely reboot. What's strange is, it does...

    Do I need anything to add an IR remote?

    Yeah, got my acronyms mixed up there unexpectedly :) I did mean an RF remote setup. Both my HR22s came with remotes that have the FCC ID sticker on the back. (That should have been the obvious clue that they were RF!) So I'll just need to set up the remotes in my distant room to pair...

    I just got my install completed yesterday. I got 2 HR22s installed to my two HD sets. I am modulating the output of my box downstairs to a couple of SD sets. What I need to know is, what do I need to have IR remotes working? Do the HR-22s have IR remote support out of the box, or do I need...

    Can I ask for an AM-21 before install?

    I've tried that. I've created my account, but I can't order any additional equipment online. "We are still processing your account. Once your system has been installed and activated, you will be able to make changes to your programming and equipment online. "

    Can I ask for an AM-21 before install?

    I ordered new service last week, and am set up for an install on the 17th (3 weeks out, ouch!) I am in a DMA that carries locals in SD only. I am getting an HR2x reciever, and will need an AM-21 so that I can also record my locals in SD. Can I call DirecTV and request them to send me an...

    Install wait

    I got a similar wait time... ordered October 30, November 17 install date. I haven't been able to get the install bumped up, but I am on the "cancellation list". Hopefully something will come available. Wish I could do a self install... already have a D* dish on the roof (an older 3LNB oval...
