I was part of the beta for a while, before there was ever any talk of DECA. Both of my DVRs are connected with Ethernet, both were seeing each other just fine, both can do on-demand. So far as I am aware, there's nothing extra I would get from going to all the bother of setting up DECA. We do...

What? I thought it was the case that you could have multiple SWM receivers share one phone line connection basically by networking through the SWM. If what you're saying is true then *every* receiver that does PPV would need either a phone line or Ethernet connection.

Again, DECA and MoCA isn't what I'm asking about. Receivers on SWM can already network to pass PPV purchase info. Are there any prospects of expanding that capability to MRV? Expanding it to also encompass DoD would be nice too, but SWM MRV is really what I'm asking about.

I have Ethernet runs already to where the receivers are, so that's not a problem. It would just be slightly more convenient (I could decommission a switch) if one of them didn't need it. If the DVRs were able to network via SWM and share one Ethernet connection, well, FTW. I went to the linked...

I have an HR21 and an HR22, both on a SWM and both connected to the Internet. They were both connected to a phone line, but I'm trying to get rid of phone lines and wiring. It would be more convenient if only one of the DVRs were connected to the Internet and the SWM used for everything on...

So I guess I never got the memo. I have two SWM connected DVRs, both of them are connected to both the Internet and to a phone line. But it'd be a lot more convenient if I could ditch the phone lines. They're able to do everything now over the Internet? Even sports subscription location...

AM21 no longer gets any signals on one of my HR21s. About to RBR, but sending report 20090905-47A1 first.

See you next week!

For the last few CEs now (which is why I'm not posting this in a particular CE thread), I've noticed that sometimes playback of recorded shows - over MRV or local - sometimes hangs. Sometimes a few seconds go by and you get the "Delete this recording?" prompt you usually get at the end of the...

Gigabit network hardware actually does improve the network even when there are devices whose links operate at a lower speed. Think of the gigabit hardware as being a 10 lane freeway. Even if one lane (100 MB/sec) is filled completely with big semi-trucks, there are 9 more lanes that can operate...

Maybe it's too late, but I think a lot of the difficulty that DirecTV is having in getting MRV to work stems from the fact that they stream the shows rather than copy them. TiVo has had MRV for a while now, and the mechanism they use is copying encrypted files over the network and then...

MRV failure One recording in particular is giving me "unable to access content." Others seem to work ok. 20090621-145C.

MRV worked for me earlier this evening, but now I get either the DTCP content AKE fail message, or I get "Playback failed. Client access card is invalid or absent." I've sent a report: 20090606-38cf The other receiver: 20090606-1c4e

Seconded. It ought to be an option for the user whether he wants the list combined or separate. Also, if you're going to combine the lists, then you should either combine the free space meters or show the meter for the receiver that contains the currently selected show.

They sure fixed that.
