Sure looks like it. As I remember, it appeared mounted 90 degrees clockwise from your picture and I think all the top inputs were capped off. I could probably take and upload a picture but then you'd see how badly my house needs a paint job. :)

Tech finished about an hour ago. System seems fine but I didn't get a chance to see their outside work until after they left. They've mounted what appears to be an approximately 10" square, brownish colored, plastic box to the exterior wall of the house, up near the dish. Although there's a...

That's correct and I'm still getting the message. Tech coming today, so hopefully will be fixed soon.

Oh and yes, it was 776. Just checked again and can still switch channels. Message appeared but went away when I switched channels.

If he did anything, it had to be outside. I was with him inside and he didn't touch anything. Just gave me a bunch of yada yada about their not supposed to go on a roof, etc but he would do it anyway. Also, it was raining while he was here. I'm wondering even if he didn't fully disconnect...

New information. I noticed this yesterday (Tuesday) after noon. Genie now gives error 476, "problem communicating with satellite". Pressing more into says "cabling problem". "Upgrade needed. Call customer service......." None of this was happening after the tech left on Monday nor is it...

Just talked to the tech guy. He's coming back thursday. He said he plans on installing the swm switch under the porch roof, so hopefully that should be ok. Thanks again for all your feedback and I'll post how it all turns out.

You guys are a bit over my head with the SWM and LNB but I think I get the basic idea. The tech had said one reason he couldn't finish the job Friday was the switch and LNB had to be changed and they were both at / near the dish which had to be accessed from a (low) porch roof and he was not...

Ah, so to efficiently utilize all HHD space, recordings need to be initiated fairly evenly from each DVR & the Genie.? In other words, if all recordings were set up from the Genie , even though the DVR boxes could see and access them, their HDDs would remain in-used while the Genie's would...

Ok, entering embarrassing confession mode. I'd forgotten the tech had authorized the DVR from the Genie location and I hadn't checked to see if he reconnected everything at the Genie. Sure enough, the ethernet cable was still unpluged. That solved the internet connection and accessing on...

Yes. It shows "whole home DVR" "authorized". Then further down it lists the Genie and other HD-DVR as sharing on and deletion on.

Does that it's only set up as single tuner matter?

HR24-200.

6 TV locations. Whole home with one Genie 44 & 3 mini clients + one HD-DVR + one regular HD reciever. Total of 8 tuners I believe. I ordered an upgrade of the regular HD receiver up to an HD-DVR for $99.00 They arrived yesterday and all was going well until during authorization it wouldn't...

First installer didn't bring it but he never finished the install (another thread). Second installer did bring it and installed it but wouldn't take the H25 back. So I did get a free HD-DVR and as yet they haven't taken my H25 back either - even after I reminded them.
