    Want to Restrict Whole Home to 2 out of 3 boxes

    I recently added a Genie to my accont, and I moved an HR-24 to my mother-in-law's room. She is still adjusting to the DTV menus, having given up both her Tivos. Having shows she didn't record show up on her playlist would only confuse or frustrate her. So, when the installer was here, I asked...

    Free Genie Upgrade 24 hrs later

    One of my HR-22 boxes could not see the internet nor each others in MRV. I tried every kind of reset, called tech support and they walked me through a couple more. They decided it was time for a site visit. When M showed up, he switched boxes and found the same issue on the new HR-24 he swapped...

    Switching from WiFi MRV to DECA

    I agree on the collision issues, and since it is wireless, there may be other interference, such as the cordless phones. They are Buffalo devices, don't remember the model. A wired connection at 100Mbps would be diffrerent. There is no other traffic on the Wifi link, other than the occasional...

    Switching from WiFi MRV to DECA

    I have been using MRV with 802.11g, between an HR23 and and HR22. The HR23 is in the family room with a wired connection to the WiFi router, and I have the media PC, the HR23 and a Blu-Ray player tied into it. So far so good. In the bedroom, the HR22 is not near a wired connection, so it is...

    What are the fundamental differences between tv and internet, and their transmission?

    Note that the available bandwidth was there all along, but never used. Phone lines were designed for voice, and only a narrow range of audio (30-3000Hz). Attenuation occurs as you increase the frequency of the signal or the length of the line. Fatter phone lines reduce the attenuation. So, the...

    What are the fundamental differences between tv and internet, and their transmission?

    If you are thirsty for knowledge, you will catch more flies with honey... First of all, if you want as many details as possible, you might want to leave off the "I don't want.." part of your question, as it indicates that you are not open to explanations that include things you know. It is hard...

    On-Demand Newbie Questions

    I didn't know if they were only to be streamed and watched or if you had the option to save it. Because I am not the only one in the house. By disabling it, no one accidentally kills my bandwidth. It looks like I won't be using On Demand.:( Thanks, Brad

    On-Demand Newbie Questions

    Background: I have a new HR-23, and my internet connection is Hughesnet (satellite). Since I didn't want to remove the 101 dish for the non HD TV's I now have 3 dishes on my house. (Not to mention Sirius Satellite Radio and my GPS, I guess I am totally "wired" to satellites.) Anyway, with...

    Any good deals when upgrading??

    I told them I got a new HDTV, and I was considering a move to Comcast. They offered me an HD DVR and a new dish for $19.95. I get the DVR in two weeks. It may have something to do with being a "loyal DirecTV customer".
