I have yet to run out and get a terminator for the splitter so I haven't done this yet. I'd rather not introduce noise with an open port on the splitter

Thank you so much, I need to get a terminator and give this a rip. the more I thought about my situation, the less sense it made to have the deca. Ill report back later tonight

i actually opted for the roof mount, it worked out perfectly because the dish is hidden off on a side roof that extends from the house. tech was great, he had everything for the pole install and was willing to give it a go. almost seemed like he wanted to do it, we chatted a bit and decided to...

thanks for all the heads up folks. going to leave it connected, decied to clean up the coax and network cables though.

nvm, answered my own quesiton here. looks like i cant remove deca since i have a WHDVR http://forums.directv.com/pe/elementDisplayRedirect.jsp?elementID=10980385

is this link accurate? http://techtips.salon.com/directv-deca-20690.html

your post has me confused. what is the purpose of the ethernet/coax adapter? is it to download movies/apps/firmware updates or what? there is going to be a monthly fee for me to use the adapter, i wasnt told that? and you are telling me that I in fact, do not need it? is the ethernet port on...

in my basement i have the main WAN/ISP router. the tech installed an ethernet/coax adapter that feeds from my router(ethernet) converts to coax and feeds directly into the directv splitter. it this a make-shift netowrk connection for the HD34? i noticed the HD34 has an ethernet port itself...

Love D* , nhl HD feeds galore. No BS. Picture quality looks absolutely fantastic. DVR is snappy. Couldn't be more happy

thanks for the heads up folks.

Hey folks, can anyone elaborate on what a pole mount actually entails? do they have to pour concrete or not? Will there be any issues for the tech since it is winter and the ground is hard? thanks

found out it is $65 since it isnt an LOS issue. bummer I would rather have most/all NHL center ice channels in compressed HD rather than only 5 channels of uncompressed. heck, indemand is the provider for NHL to FIOS and that is probably compressed anyways, no? not to mention the pathetic...

hey folks, thanks for all the input. i made the call, directv install is scheduled for monday evening, then ill cancel FIOS. can't wait. i dont know if im more excited about the awesome dvr capabilities of the hr34/genie or all the HD Center Ice channels. the only thing fios is good for is the...

NHL center ice, how many HD channels? hey folks, just curious how many HD channels are allocated for each game on any given night on NHL center ice, thanks! had dish and it was a coin flip if you got HD, now on FIOS and love the internet but hate the TV portion, looking into Direct now...:cool:

I've had nothing but absolutely positive interactions with dish over the phone and on site at my house. I'm happy with the services that i receive for the money that I pay. I couldn;t be happier with a provider then I am with dish. 3yrs running -couple billing issues that were easily resolved...
