    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    If they really wanted to, why not introduce the "Viacom-Free Package" with all Viacom's content removed and at a lower price. I would imagine a fairly sizable group would opt for that. A-La-Carte isn't going to happen. Of course the content providers write clauses in to their contracts which...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    Encore isn't worth the space it occupies, I had it when we originally got the service and cancelled it and its ilk as quickly as possible. It costs them next to nothing to "offer" that to their customers, pennies, I want some real credit. For what I'm paying for the service, 17 channels...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    LOL called in a few minutes ago "No we haven't been getting many calls on the Viacom thing, mainly just the usual day-to-day stuff..." Yeah, sure buddy. Got the lousy $5 credit after the guy argued with me that "free" Encore was the credit due. I don't think so.

    Whole Home DVR Not Working - Need Advice

    Well I'll be, what an easy fix. Sure enough, it came right up. Didn't even need to reboot the HD DVR... I will still be looking to get a DECA just in case but glad to be up and running for now. I appreciate all the help here, this is a fantastic place. Thanks!

    Darn, would that really work? My understanding was that having the ethernet connected disables DECA and thus my receiver in the bedroom would not be able to see and communicate with the HD DVR; I will give it a try and see what happens.

    Excellent point, and I will do that. No excuse for the tech not doing it, just in a hurry as they always are. He actually left the Cinema Connection Kit just sitting there because for some reason it would not sync that day and he couldn't wait. It works fine now (obviously) but without that DECA...

    Whole Home DVR Not Working - Need Advice

    I appreciate your help, Thank You very much! The only question I have now is do I need to purchase a power supply for that DECA? It seems to cost more than the DECA itself and it isn't clear if it is necessary or not. Any ideas on that? Can my HR21-200 power the DECA on its own?

    Wireless DECA? The only device I have is a "Broadband Adapter" which they listed as "Cinema Connection Kit". It has ethernet to my router and feeds in to the satellite cable. As I understand that is the only thing needed save for this other DECA device on the HR21-200? Or do I need additional...

    Yes model is HR21-200 for the HD DVR. I can't read diagrams worth a darn...I don't have that 8-way switch thing just a small one on the outside of the house and the power injector thing inside.

    Whole Home DVR Not Working - Need Advice

    Makes sense, looks like an easy fix. I just want to make sure I won't need anything else, like some sort of adapter or device for the H24 in the bedroom as well - to get whole home DVR up and running...also do you know about the power adapter thing on the DECA? It says it can be powered by some...

    Ah, ok. So just one of those connected to the HR21 will fix this? Strange that a basic HD receiver has it and an HD DVR does not. I guess you live and learn. Is the power supply required or can the HR21 operate it on its own?

    No I don't believe so. What is a 'Receiver DECA'? All that is on the back of my HR21-200 is the incoming (1) sat cable, the HDMI, and power. That's it. Could you link to the part I would need and also why does the lowly HD receiver in the bedroom get an internet connection but not the HR21-200?

    Whole Home DVR Not Working - Need Advice

    Hi folks, Just had system installed early Dec 2011. I have a very simple setup; A single HR21-200 DVR and a single H24-100 HD Receiver in a bedroom. That's all. I have the SWiM dish and switch (?) and connected also is a Broadband Internet DECA (I believe "Cinema Connection Kit" is what it is...
