OK thanks for confirming that. :)

Thanks Jimbo, I will only keep the hr44, so she will have to survive with 5 tuners. I am correct though on my 2 concerns that we can still use the hr24 remotes on the Genie and still pause/resume live TV. My research says I can. Just wanted to confirm. Ken

Been with DTV over 16 years and very happy. Lately some connection issues with internet and needing to reset hr24 for picture freezing. Not sure if hr24 is going or my linksys adapter I use with ethernet for wifi is reason for connection issues. Network is Ok. Called DTV and they said if I...

Well, I do like WildBill's avatar It is definetly not anal Go Giants--Fan from the 50's on

Further research leads me to think "when available" means when on PPV or the Movie Channels like HBO I will not see them till then--hope I am wrong--my wife doesn't want another thing hooked up and more cables and extension cords :) If that's the case with no internet connection it is only a...

Based on all my reading and my HR24-500 manual, I understand that for Plus I need an internet connection. But, not for all DTV Cinema features. Although, another Forum is saying I do. I don't want the interconnect connection as I don't need the Plus features/channels. According to the manual...

Yea, to me they wash out picture

Yes on SWM Did what you suggested and asked him about it upon arrival. He was happy not to run a new cable. No charge--but, I tipped him $20.00. Good tech, he was here a couple years ago and did great. I requested him. He already hid the duplicates and changed the bars to black for non-HD...

EVERYTHING is now hooked up and working. DTV just left, so I am set with HDDVR capabilities and all HD components are working--Great Picture!! Thanks for all the help guys--esp Iceberg Ken

Yeah, I can't wait Jersey All HDMI will make it easier then previous setup though Just hate messing with the Audio setup on the Denon and setting wifi mac addresses. Plus moving the current tv to FR and that tv upstairs One of my sons got me the last Harry Potter in Bluray, so will try...

Thanks Iceberg Kinda remember when I was looking to get a new receiver, since the old DRD RCA is losing guide, they said only choice was an HD one if I wanted to get optical out, but I would be billed for HD service. Stayed with old one. So, thought as soon as I actvated would start to be...

Thanks Chip Forum Members have been great helping me out. Been under a time constraint, so quick replies were greatly appreciated. New to HD, kinda a vacuum tube era guy. :) But, maybe with 13 years of DTV service, I can help someone else in return. Ken

Thank You raoul5788 Thought it should, just would hate to set it all up 3 days in advance and find out it won't work Ken

I lied :) Another question: I now have all new HD components and the TV Upgrade install on the 30th DTV says I can hook up all the new items to include the HR24 HDDVR Call them to activate card and still receive SD TV thu the HR24 till Thurs when HD Dish will be installed. They will...

harshness, thanks for the input I have been researching as I post here (believe it or not :)) Did find out thru the research and a rear panel pic of HR24 that it does have two and one is labeled SWM Ken

Thanks Iceberg Not sure, Satellite has been installed since 97 or 98 and don't remember if they changed it. Although, I vaguely remember a tech running new line for some reason maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Guess they can see and I will make sure it is RG6. Been decades since my tech days, is the RG6...

One last question :) In upgrading to HD does my current coaxial cable need replaced. Not aware that it will carry HD signals and DTV said they would use same cable. Have tried to contact skylink, who is doing upgrade. They have been out before over the years. But, all I get is a recording and...

Thanks again Your recommendation makes me fell good about my choice Ken

Ordered the HR24 and DT will send Converters with tech They think they hook up SWM automatically to make future ugrades easier--no cost--I will follow up on that and still contact last tech out Good chance I will have SWM anyway Thanks for all the help Iceberg Waiting for my new HDMI TV and...

Thanks again Iceberg, I now understand thanks to your replies and have been researching, so I now know what the B-Converters do I am trying get a hold of last tech to my house and have him back out. He can resolve the Converter/SWM issue. Worst case, I will buy converters or have DT do the...

Well, a little confused. Amazon reviews say HR24DVR has one Sat RF in, but DT website says two. If it has two, then I need to do nothing but have tech run a second line. Can that be confirmed? EDIT: Read this--H24 and HR24 installed on systems that DO NOT have a SWiM Switch require B-Band...

Thanks Iceberg I have an old DRD receiver as far as sat goes, that will be turned in--want to buy the HR24 as opposed to getting from DT I will have a Denon 2311CI AV receiver all HDMI connections to Sony HX729 Hope that answers your question DT rep said I will need two cables run to...

I have just ordered upgrade to HD service DT customer 13 years I know they will install new dish, although I have 3LNB dish and thought I was told a couple years ago it was HD compatible I am under the assumption not to let DT bring out receiver as it may be refurbished and an older model...
