Thank you very much for that info. If you happen to know, would the tech typically install a surface mount fiber termination box on the interior wall near where the BGW320 will go (home office in my case)? Or would he just run the single length of fiber, then poke it through a hole in the...

Hi, I believe I know the answer to these Q's but would like to verify. We finally have access to AT&T fiber. According to their website we can get any of the following symmetrical Mbps packages: 300, 500, 1000, 2000, or 5000. These questions are specific to the 300 package in case there are...

That sounds easy. I thought there were more layers to it, like connection over home network with some sort of coax to ethernet multiplexer. Either way I'm wired to make that happen but some work inside the walls would be needed so I wanted to be prepared before the install date. It sounds...

Thanks. All I can find are units which appear to have one coax (usually labelled SWiM) jack. If the new satellite has one jack then the one coax cable outside would go between it and the main DVR receiver unit. What kind of cable would interconnect the two receivers?

Hi, I have searched for hours and can not find solid answers to these basic questions. I had DTV up until 2 years ago and still have that old dish mounted on the roof with 4 coax leads coming in to two wall plates where the two receivers used to be located. That system used two identical DVRs...

Sorry to the last responder for messing up my reply quotes. Anyway, thanks for confirming that. That still doesn't get the spending limits to be changeable on my one quirky receiver. Not sure what the deal is. I didn't mention this before to keep the situation less muddied, but I can and...

Not one I'd prefer to pursue but thank you for the idea.

Hi, My latest bill showed the purchase of a PPV movie that we had not ordered. I called DTV and they let me know the date and time of said purchase. It turns out we had kids over that day; being it was a kid's movie it's pretty clear they were messing with the remote without asking...

Thanks odom, I will investigate that if the freezing issue isnt resolved with my internet settings changes. I also have the option to direct cable in from the lower level router, but I had already hooked up the PoE kit out of curiosiity and it worked OK for the most part.

Not sure what a deca is. One powerstrip PoE is cat5 cabled to the back of the HR24 and another powerstrip PoE is cat5 cabled to my router. I can't find my dish contract paperwork but the dish is a fairly new design; the installer took down a 5 LNB sidecab and put up this oval dish that only...

Bump. Maybe someone familiar with this situation didn't see the original post a few days ago. Thanks!

Hi, I have a fairly recent install with HR24-200 receiver. The installer gave me two powerstrip ethernet kits for free so I hooked it up and got On Demand working for the most part. Two times now I've checked off a few programs to download and come back later to see that one of these...

Thanks for the info. I was curious since some print and phone info is made intentionally hard to come by. I simply don't trust the terms complimentary or free on their own. The extra channels are incredible, especially to see rounds the regular network channel won't cover. No interuptions...

Hi, I can't seem to search this topic effectively, though certainly it has come up. Does anyone have additional info, a link, or personal experience with the extra channels DTV opens up during a golf or tennis major championship, or the new Nascar Pass channels on Sundays? The DTV site only...
