How come I can watch TV and listen to Pandora at the same time on my hr24s and my hr34.... but can listen only not watch TV on my c41 when playing Pandora

Thanks for the reply. I see the dongle uses the svideo port. Does it still transmit it in 720p. Also what's HDCP issues?

So I decided to swap out my h24 to the genie client c41. Before I used both the hdmi and component outs to power 2 tvs. So I get the c41 and it's doesn't have component out. What should I do I think I made a big mistake. Ya I know they sell hdmi splitters but I'm confused on if they work...

Then they lose me as a good standing $200 a month customer. Pip is the #1 feature for me and other providers allows it on more then one tv

Ya but can you access the pip feature from one of the genie clients?

If not then I need to add another Genie or 2. What's the chances I score 2 more genies? 10 year customer out of contract

Does a genie client have the ability to use the pip feature? I currently have a genie and absolutely love pip and would be willing to sacrifice a couple of my hr24s for clients.

Dude screw what DTV told you buy a slimline dish and a tripod and take the receiver wherever. What they told you is absurd

I was in the same situation as you. I needed to 2 tvs hooked up with seperate receivers for sunday ticket in my basement but had 2 split the line cause there was no way of running another one. Bought a swm lnb a couple swm splitters a power inserter and boom you cant split lines just like cable...

I want MRV but Direct want 99+50 for install. Im not trying to spend 150 bucks on it plus the 3 bucks a month. I want to do a self install but need to know what is needed. Im not gonna hard wire all my boxes with cat 5 gotta go deca rout. Any advice cause 150 bucks is absurd

So i got 2 hr22s on my doorstep today im so pissed. This is a joke. Im calling and either getting hr24's or im sadly leaving Direct. I cant even input a ch number without it lagging and missing a ch number.

Bottom line the hr21 hr22 and hr23 are slooooooow no matter how any of you guys want to spin it. I pay $150 a month on tv and shouldn't be stuck with any of these. I just called dtv and there swapping my hr20's for a newer model for free cause there not 3d compatible. We will see what they send...

YouTube - DIRECTV HR24-500 speed demonstration

I need a hr24 in the worst way but dont have $200 to shell out for one. I have 2 hr20's that directv said they would swap out for free for a 3d compatible hddvr. They said they have no clue if I will get a hr24's on my doorstep. Im worried if I do the swap im gonna get a hr22 or hr23 which are...

Hooked it up and it works to perfection. Thanks guys for the help. Not being able to split a satellite line has always been a knock compared to cable but now with swm its not a issue....
