Power saving mode on a vip222k??

You cant hook an Ethernet cable directly to your dvr and have whole home dvr work. You have to use a cck or cckw

What's kangaroo mode on the h25??

What about fees? I know Dtv is going to tack on some fees. Maybe something like 3$ a month per client?

They might not replace it for that issue, they might tell you be happy with hdmi, so be prepared to tell them it wont turn on

They have an even cheaper one but it must be combined with an international package. Family at 29 is your best bet

Oh gotcha. It looks like one lnb but there are really 3 eyes in it. Its how the new swm lnbs look. Thing of the future..

Yep, solid copper is the optimal choice because it supports the higher frequencies that swm needs to use. If ANY of your in line parts (barrel connections, wall plates, or even crimp connectors instead of compression) are not high frequency, whole home performance goes down the toilet. I had...

Get an rf modulator, hook it up to the composite out (red white yellow) and then do a coax from the out to tv part on the RF mod. If you want hd get an hdmi splitter, then you have to run an hdmi to the second tv. The reason you can't just split the line coming in is the signal has not be...
