    Mini Genie question

    Just so I don't get questions as to why I'm trying to use an HD receiver with the old school yellow video...I won't be using the yellow cable to pass through video to the TV. The language filter only uses it to read captioning so the filter will work (yellow cable from receiver to filter and...

    Mini Genie question

    So are you guys suggesting instead of swapping the HR24 for the Genie, swap the Genie for one of my HR25's (non DVR), so I would send back the mini and an HR25? If I do that, I'll get hit with 2 DVR fees on the monthly bill correct? And yes, the old school yellow composite cable is what I was...

    Mini Genie question

    I decided to upgrade my HR24 DVR to a Genie and was told I could also receive a mini Genie to place one of my other HD receivers (non DVR). The 2 units should be arriving in a couple of days. I did some searches and noticed that the mini Genie does not have a yellow video component output...

    AM21 H25 compatible?

    OK, I think I finally got it. The power pass through cord from the AM21 will not fit the H25, therefore sounds like I will need to purchase a power cord for the AM21, as it only comes with an attached power pass through cord. This is the only way I can see it working...having a power cord for...

    AM21 H25 compatible?

    I took a look at solid signal and see the note about it working with the H25, but it's noted on the new AM21N model. Maybe that is the true compatible version. The power cords/power inputs between the older AM21 and H25 are definitely 2 diferent shapes from what I'm seeing in all the manuals...

    AM21 H25 compatible?

    Thanks. It does have a USB port. I can find information online on how to connect an AM21 to a Directv DVR, but the power cord on the AM21 doesn't seem to fit/connect anywhere on the H25 non DVR. Information I find says to take the power cord connected to the AM21 and connect to the receiver...

    AM21 H25 compatible?

    Is the older model AM21 compatible with an HD H25/100 (non dvr)? Thinking of picking one up to pull in my local subchannels.

    MLB Extra Innings 2012 Now Available

    Cool, called to cancel my auto renewal of MLB EI and was offered a $20 bill credit for 6 months...in essence a $120 discount, so I'm keeping the baseball package. Always pleased when I call DirecTV.

    HD Guide and You Tube

    I downloaded the CE HD gui last weekend, but when I do searches I no longer have the "you tube" option -- just shows or keywords. All of my previous searches for shows/keywords were retained with the new gui, but all the previous youtube searches are gone.

    H24-100 Freezing/Pixellating

    I did check the directv website and wanted to note that I have no trees, snow, etc blocking the view and it has been clear weather. I did see something about checking to see if water was pooling around the LNB's...it hasn't rained in a week or so, but I guess I could check that later today.

    H24-100 Freezing/Pixellating

    Hello. I have a H24-100 that started intermittently freezing for a few seconds...also pixellating for a second or so at times. This started on Saturday and continues to do this. When I run the system check sometimes it comes up with Code 41-024 and states I should call customer service, other...

    School me on H24s

    Just a curious question. I assume that a normal splitter will not work for what I want to do. What exactly does the SWM splitter do that a normal splitter does not?

    School me on H24s

    Professional install late June. I wasn't aware of additional work/hardware needed for internet at the time of order/install. When I contacted directv this past weekend, the CSR told me I could buy the deca connection online and install it myself, but I could never get past the option of $49...

    School me on H24s

    Regarding the HR24 internet connection. Is it possible to split the signal instead of running a separate line to the dish or switch? Split the incoming coax -- 1 to the receiver, 1 to the deca internet device?? Thanks, Oscar

    question about eastern ark

    Thanks for the info. I already have a small indoor/outdoor antenna that I have strapped to my Dish mount, which allows me to receive everything except ch. 2. So will the new 1000.4 replace my current dish or be in addition? The way I read your response, it sounds like I'm stuck with a 2nd...

    question about eastern ark

    I recently contacted Dish and asked about my local Little Rock HD. They said I would need a 2nd dish installed. When I asked if there were future plans that would allow me to receive my HD locals without a 2nd dish, they said a possible solution might be available in February. What is that...
