If you have an HR22 you don't need a new box, it's an HD DVR. Assuming of course you have an HD dish (slimline)

They are not permitted, it's technical issues. Directv could probably overcome them with software changes but has chosen not to. And before anyone responds with incorrect info, I am one of the few people with experience of multiple genie servers on the same account (I actually had three for...

The HR54 has a built-in power inserter so you don't need a separate one. Remove the p;ower inserter, maks sure the power pass connection from the HR54 goes to the dish, and see if the problem goes away.

do you have the correct swm splitter?

If your PQ on some channels is great but not on others its very unlikely to be your box. And by the way I suspect you are looking at the 101 transponders not 99 or 103.

I don't think they are available any more....and for most people, they never were..

remember unless you have a real RV account (which will give you the national feeds) you won't get any Directv locals when you move (I think your alaska locals are on a spotbeam on d11 or d14??)

If it's an SWM dish the power inserter IS required, unless the traveller provides it somehow which i doubt.

This is a bug in the logic for the "ads in pause" function directv has been playing with for a while. I expect it will eventually get fixed.

Almost certainly an HDCP issue. If you have a TV connected to the HDMI output, but switched off, the DVR will see this as an HDCP failure and so will suppress all the video outputs. Tthree ways to solve this. One, switch the TV on, as jcrandall says. Two, disconnect the HDMI-connected TV. And...

Solid copper core has lower voltage drop so you should use it for any long run between the power inserter and the dish. Everywhere else, regular RG6 is fine.

This is a special Directv cable specifically designed to provide component video outputs. There's a very similr one that gives composite video outputs. Make sure you get the correct one!

but remember an external drive REPLACES the internal drive, it does not add to the storage.

40mph is nothing if the dish is mounted correctly, into the roof studs. Here in TX we have 60-70mph winds often, and they don't affect my dish at all.

you won't own the HR24...

If it is an episode that has recorded recently it won't record even if its not on your disk and even if you set to record "all". It is considered a "duplicate" and duplicates can only be recorded manually. This has always been the rule.

What dish and receiver do you have?

what's your zip code?

No, she needs a new dish, and a new receiver. the channels are now on one of the "HD satellites", think it's 103. She needs the free MPG-2 "swap", just don't call it an upgrade.

Yes,an 8 way splitter is just throwing signal away when you only have one receiver....

i wondered that also...

something wrong here . The D10 won't work with swm. But the genie will work fine with that setup.

Directv had previously announced that all MPEG-2 service will be shutdown. That means that ALL the OPs equipment will stop working, not just for locals. 101w will deliver "a popular selection of channels" in MPEG-4 (Directv's words, not mine). Looks like that conversion is being phased, locals...

This post is horribly confused and the responses (from some of the posters here and from Directv) are just plain wrong. OK, as far as Directv is concerned, the OP has one account with one dish with four SD receivers. The free update to this (as slice 1900 says ) would be a single slimline dish...

There are videos on youtube showing you how to do this.You can't just wave the dish in the general direction of the satellityes and expect it to work.
