Ok... So I have two HR22s and an HR24 running currently in my house. All are connected via ethernet to my network. Also, I have a slimline dish with a non-swm LNB. All four outputs run to a SWM-8 and then I run one line to each of my receivers. That's all well and good and works just fine...

I have an HR22. I've noticed lately (past 2 months or so) that sometimes it is VERY slow to respond to the remote. For example, if i hit the guide button, it will start to pop up, freeze, then after about 20 or 30 seconds the guide will finally populate. It's not just with the guide though...

Ok i have a slimline 5 dish. the LNB has 4 outputs and all four go into my two HR22s (2 inputs each). I'm going to be adding a 3rd receiver (HR24). I don't really wanna swap out my LNB to a SWM LNB and then have to mess with the wiring coming into the house. So... Can I just get a SWM-8 and...

Ok there is too much confusion on this topic for me. If I were to buy an HR24 off ebay, for instance, and add it to my current configuration, would I have to sign a new 2-yr contract? I keep seeing things on the web saying any new receivers require a new 2 year lease agreement? I guess what...

Ok so I probably plan on getting the Genie. If I do that, stick with my current LNB (4 outputs). Attach all four from the dish to the SWM16 (using the PI).... Then take one single cable and attach it to the Genie. Then take another single cable, attach it to a supported splitter and then...

I currently have a Slimline 5 dish with the standard 4-output LNB head. I have two HR22 (I think) boxes with two inputs on each. So, all 4 outputs are being used up. No other multiswitch or anything like that is being used. Can I replace the head on my current dish with this...

I have it connected directly to the router through an ethernet cable. My d/l speeds are plenty fast. I don't have "whole home DVR" or anything like that so that wouldn't interfere. No other devices on my network (computers/smartphones/etc) have a problem with network speed. I can't figure it...

Ok I'm not sure if this is an issue on my end or something on DirecTV's end. I have an HR22 receiver and have been trying to download an HD (not 1080p, just HD) movie from DirecTV Cinema for over two hours. It is only 22% done and still "red", indicating that I would almost definitely catch up...

Hi. Looking for a little help. I would like to know what equipment I would need. I live in the Boston area. Should I get a Slimline dish with the 3LNB or the 5LNB? Is the 5LNB overkill? Do I need that for my locals or would the 3LNB cover it? Would I be missing anything if I didn't get...

Is there an easy way to test 99s without separate signal meter? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Ok so I need a little help. I am just recently having a problem with signal loss on my locals. I have an HR22 and a slimline dish. When I look at my signal strength, I am getting high 90's and even 100's on my meters. Now, I know that might not mean much for my locals. Which sat's are my...

I just added another receiver to a basement room. Currently, there is no phone jack near there and I don't feel like installing one if I don't have to. What is the purpose of the phone line REALLY? Just for PPV? Or for more than just that? So can I just leave it alone? Help much...

Does anyone have anything else to offer? I'm just doing this for my house so I'm not looking for anything fancy and expensive. Just something that will be accurate.

I'm trying to figure out which direction I need to point my dish. I live in MA so I know I need an unobstructed view to the SW. The problem is, "SW" is kind of vague. It looks like I have a clear shot between two trees but I would just like a more accurate description than just "SW" because I...

I'm planning on installing the new Slimline dish to my house and was curious to know which signal meter I should use? I understand it's not really a good idea to simply use the receivers alone to get the signal level because of the difference beteween the Ku/Ka bands. I believe the two I've...
