You still having issues with the locals? It seems the problem has been corrected.

I'm trying to figure out why both 4 and 5 would be affected. Do they share an uplink to D*? I'm also very surprised not many people are complaining about this. I'd figure with all the D* customers in our area, something more than a few posts on forums would be out there.

Channel 4 tonight sucks bad tonight. Thank God MNF is on ESPN. More reports of this problem here: Pixelation on Local HD Channel | DIRECTV Receiver Technical Sup | DIRECTV Technical Help Forums

Same here. Strange that it would be a few unaffiliated locals in our area. Do they share the same uplink to D*?

I noticed a lot of pixelation with channel 9 during the Skins game. Now on Channel 4 for the Lions/Saints game I am seeing a little every minute or so. To the point where sometimes the screen goes black. All signal levels look good. Going to check out a few more channels to see if this is...

Im in the DC market And im getting a message on versus that the Hawks game is blacked out. Anyone else?

Larger file size probably means higher quality. Also could mean a higher bit rate. If the DECAs only allow 100mbs as opposed to gigabit speeds, that could lead to the bandwidth not being able to stream a file that large.

Hooked mine up today. After rebooting all routers, switches, and DECAs everything worked fine. I tried a 12gb mkv on my WDTV and there was some stuttering. So i tried a file under 10GB and it seemed to work fine. I'll continue to test it and see if there are any limitations. If 10GB is the...

I'll order it then. I found the black deca box on ebay for ~$20 shipped. A lot better than what a lot of the satellite store websites are selling it for (~$55)

I have not actually bought it yet, but was planning on it. Was this the right one? And what does the DC Power Pass mean and what coax goes to it?

Well I just ordered a black one and a SWS-2 splitter so I'll report back when I have everything set back up and running.

Thanks again. Everywhere I find the black DECA like the one above, it mentions the power supply comes with it. Are you saying the power supply is not required for the black one?

Easy enough to try. Just to be sure, is this the DECA box I should be using? DIRECTV DECA Broadband Adapter with Power Supply (DECABB1R0)

Are you saying I could use a DECA (like the older setups) to 'tap in' and it wouldn't effect the HR24's ability to connect to the Whole home DVR? Here is an example of what i'm talking about:

I currently have 2 HR24s and 2 H24s using DECA for the whole home DVR. At one of the TVs, I have a WDTV Live media player that I had to run a Cat-5 to since all my media is on my NAS on the network. Is it possible to 'tap in' to the DECA and use the HR24 as a network access point? Then I...
