Iceberg - you're right about running the line myself. I misrepresented what exactly I needed to do. I will however need to contact DirecTV to get my receiver re-activated. Like you're saying, my old receivers like the H10 could function strictly as an OTA tuner. I wish I could figure the...

I was afraid of all this. I'm probably just going to need to call DirecTV and install a line into the bedroom. Perhaps I can take the receiver into the living room, connect it to a UPS power supply, download the guide data, etc... then rush it into the bedroom and install the antenna? This is...

Hi Forum It's been a long time since I've posted with an issue... Hope the community here is as helpful to me as it was the last time... Here's the situation: I've got bedroom HDTV that doesn't have an OTA tuner. The bedroom isn't currently wired for DirecTV. I've got an unused HR21 & AM21...

thanks, so I'll need two lines from the HD receiver into the TiVO reciever? Where does the television get its input from? Sounds like I should get a splitter...

I have the Samsung SIR-TS160 HD receiver for my HD ready TV. A friend of mine is leaving town and wants to leave me the DirecTV R10 TiVO/reciever. Will these two receivers be compatible? If so, how? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I have HD ready Samsung TV. I have a DirecTV HD receiver/tuner, a Samsung SIR-TS160. A friend of mine is leaving town and has offered to leave me her DirecTV TiVO/receiver, the DVR R10. Can I use it or will I have too many receivers? Any comments are appreciated.
