    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Sorry. Not sure I understood your answer. I was planning at some point replacing the current LNB on my Slimline dish with the DSWM 13 LNB. I was under the impression that the reverse band was gong to be used for 4K. Maybe the question should be is the specific LNB reverse band compatible?

    Slightly different direction with what I hope is a simple question: Is the new DSWM 13 the correct LNB for DirecTV 4K Sat transmission?

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Okay folks. You are certainly entitled to your opinions. I am simply expressing mine. An approach that doesn't have a direct connect option is certainly lacking. I would hope this changes in the future and that's what I am hoping to see. In terms of no content, it does in fact allow a...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Also, just to clarify: I have been a DirecTV customer for close to 15 years (that includes Sunday Ticket.). I have a Samsung 2015 4K TV directly connected via HDMI to an HR 44. I detest Comcast but I am extremely disappointed in this approach. Hope that helps!

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Not sure if this was directed to my post. I am not misunderstanding. I have an RVU capable TV. I find it foolish that in order to get 4K output from a DVR it has to be done this way instead of a direct connection. It's still an additional client any way you slice it. I was looking to see if...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Excuse my venting and then a question: Comcast releases a statement that says they will release a 4K through HDMI connection box in 2016 and the best DirecTV can do is provide a solution that requires an RVU? So, my Samsung JS 8500 4K TV that can connect to the Genie via HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Just a quick question. I see HR54 and 4K support by my understanding was the HR44 would also support 4K with the new LNB when available ..can someone confirm please?

    Is my HR44 about to quit?

    BTW- I'd be interested to see if lebrat321's system situation has changed. In terms of the temperature, yes, these units do run warm. I have mine in a cabinet that is well ventilated and have not had an issue until yesterday. The cooling pad idea is an interesting one though. I'm considering...

    Is my HR44 about to quit?

    Okay. So here's an update on my HR44-500. When I got home, my wife told me the unit had rebooted itself at some point. Ran BISTests and everything passed including the hard drive. No noise and the unit functioned normally all night and is fine this morning. Could still be an intermittent...

    Is my HR44 about to quit?

    Interesting. Mine started to do the same thing just this morning. Planning on running advanced self-test later for more info but have the same symptoms. Freezing, what appears to be HDD noise, etc. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!
