I was able to use DECA to bridge a router in another room to my network. It's working great. The issue wasn't the crossover cable. It was actually the fact that the DHCP doesn't seem to work properly through DECA. Not sure why, but I have to use a static IP address. I just used settings...

happened to me with another provider I really wish I could remember all of the details, but it was about 10 years ago, but I had something similar happen with some utility provider. I had moved into an apartment and they had told me there was a fraud indicator on the address. I really don't...

I think like other people had stated - if you're a sports fan it's a no brainer. I'm not, so it's a little tougher. I had Comcast and Time Warner both. Here are my opinions: channel line-up - other than the sports they're probably about equal. Cable did have more of the local digital...

What is a reasonable range for internal temperature on these units? It's pretty cool how you can check the temperature in the system setup. I moved the unit into a cabinet. I might add a fan, but don't feel like dealing with the noise unless it's necessary. I noticed outside of the cabinet...

Is it Echo Star? Are they even a provider?

What is E* anyway? I know of Directv and Dish, and the largest cable operators like Comcast, Time Warner, Charter. I even know of the services offered by Verizon and AT&T. E* is the one I'm never able to figure out. I also don't understand why people censor the names of the providers. Is it...

how do you get to the media share on the HR24? A certain channel, menu, somewhere in the recorded programs list?

I've had this happen on a few shows on the HR-21 and HR-24 as well. I find it pretty annoying. I've just put those shows that repeat a lot pretty low on the priority list. That way if they do repeat it'll record something else, otherwise it'll just pick it up next time. I'm pretty sure it's...

I think it's funny how they make us feel like we're getting a deal. I really don't feel like HD should have cost extra in the first place.

I'll find out in a few weeks if they ask for them or not. I was sent the 21 series and they swapped it for 24 series. The funny thing i s that they actually didn't ask for anything back. They just tacked on the 2 $5 monthly lease fees for the 24 series converters. I called customer service...

I got the $25 internet connection option and I can see how it hooks into the router, which is why I assumed I might be able to hook it to another router and bridge the network. That would save me a lot of time wiring or a lot of money picking up bridge. The main issue is that the DSL router is...

I know DECA is just Directv's version of MOCA. Does it only work with Directv equipment or can you plug anything into it? The reason I ask is because switching from cable TV/Internet to Satellite/DSL has caused some issues with equipment location. Basically where my cable modem used to come in...

See that's what annoys me the most. Charge me $200 for a box or charge me $5-$10 a month to rent it. I'd actually prefer to buy as well. I agree that these things cost a few hundred dollars at best. Even throw in a 1-2 year committment with an ETF if $200 doesn't cover the cost (which i...

They were able to do the same for me when it was a direct ship. Ironically I had the replacements in 2 days, but they say I should have the retrieval kit for the HR21/H21 in 3 weeks. I guess replacements/upgrades are a little different than the initial install where they need to hook up the...

1. FREE HD for Life (or 2yr HD free if you had it added to your previous order) ($240 over 2 years) 2. $29mo off 1st year/ $0 off 2nd year 10. Free Starz/Showtime for 3 months 10. One nobody else mentioned. $50 from cashbaq.com Plus of course $300 off the HD-DVR and HD receiver and free...

Those are some of my favorites. This is off topic but the discussion can use a little fun! I actually had two of them. Irresponsibility - No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood. Underachievment - The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower. I...

I forgot that one! I love despair. Thanks Directv! I hadn't been on there in a couple years and I saw some good ones I hadn't seen before! Our relationship has some value to me.

I agree the more players the better, but Uverse hardly has market share when you consider how few markets it's even in. I really wish I could have gotten AT&T UVerse or Verizon FIOS in my neighborhood. I'm even in AT&T service area for landlines and the neighborhood is only 3 years old, but...

I think someone had the disservice one hanging up and was motivated to create their contract structure. It takes months to find a customer, seconds to lose their trust, but there are ways to make sure you keep them for at least 2 years.

Despair All of this talk about Directv, I can't help but to think about the website Despair, Inc. - Creators of Demotivators® Posters, Calendar, Coffee Mugs, Apparel and More I wonder how many of these hang up around the call center.

As they should if they're a new customer getting a $199-$299 credit in exchange for a 2 year service agreement.

Sorry. Meant to say hooked up the H24, replacing the H21. Won't let me edit!

By the way. Got my H24 and HR24 replacements today. Complaint to Los Angeles BBB had it resolved in a week. My complaint was pretty simple - their website and promotional materials speak of specific equipment, but their policy is that they don't gaurantee specific equipment, which you're not...

Jimbo. Some of you people are a little too loyal. It's pretty simple issue - Allow people to cancel their service in the first 30 days. Don't advertise "cutting edge techbology" with pictures of a particular model and send an older model. If you make us buy equipment don't also try to charge...

Well you're the perfect example of Directv's wonderful commitment to customers. Let me give you a customer perspective - I've never had satellite and never wanted it. 24 series was finally they game changer. They market something, people like me respond to it, and then we get the garbage that...
