    Anyone know if DTV will install an HR24 with a Genie?

    I do a lot of extra lines for free it just depends on the complexity of it. I mean the problem with that is if you do a bunch of stuff for free, at the end of the day all you made was friends lol

    Anyone know if DTV will install an HR24 with a Genie?

    I understand your reasoning. let them install the minis and call back later saying you own the hr24, which you do, and say you want to reactivate. they can do that. it won't need any extra equipment. it'll work on the system they put in as is. if you want a 5th line run, we aren't suppose to do...

    Anyone know if DTV will install an HR24 with a Genie?

    yeah not surprised. can it wait a few months? I mean I know they say free install up to 4 boxes. is it that it would be your 5th? what do you need that particular receiver for? is it essential? I mean, it's really none of my business, but they tend to stand hard on charging for a 5th box.

    Anyone know if DTV will install an HR24 with a Genie?

    oh you mean brand new install. yeah they might. I disagree with it since it's an older box. not like they don't have thousands they don't know what to do with. they almost refuse to install anything other than genie stuff. don't know why. used to be if your credit was bad, all you got was the...

    SWM multiswitch question

    it most likely will work. you should have no issues. once everything is up and running, go into the settings and check your signal levels. they should all be 90 or better. 101 and 119 usually come in 97-100. 99 and 103 are usually 92-96 with the exception of 103(s). it comes in 84-89 give or...

    SWM multiswitch question

    well awesome man.. if it's all there already it should just be plug and play. are you familiar with the importance of the power inserter in relation to the red power passing port on the splitter?

    SWM multiswitch question

    you are welcome to do that if you choose. after a few hours and one or two headaches you'll prob have them working (channels coming in and all). problem is without the correct equipment to peak and align the dish, your overall signal will be terrible. you'll end up constantly losing channels in...

    it's highly likely it's a dish alignment issue. The 99 and/or the 103 sats are likely out of alignment. those pull hd. the standard box works bc it only looks for the 101 and 119 sats. also, when a dish goes out of alignment, the two hd sats are the first to lose signal/channels due to the...

    SWM multiswitch question

    if you are dropping an hddvr receiver, you'll end up with 7 tuners and won't need a swm multiswitch. however regardless of the scenario, the technician will put in whatever is needed so you need not worry.

    SD box still works, but now HD no go - Using SWM

    SD box still works, but now HD no go - Using SWM

    put SD box in place of HD box and see if it works. if so, it likely confirms the cable line is fine and your problem is with the hd box.

    Can You Get A 4k Free Upgrade Early?

    you can have the hs17 and other receivers as well. you can have whatever setup you want in you're home. the only rule is they will not allow you to have more than one genie. I've been to a mansion where the guy had 2 dishes, to swm16 multiswitches and 21 receivers if I recall. Sent from my...

    Can You Get A 4k Free Upgrade Early?

    if the hr54 and hr44 go down you are screwed as well. they all act as servers. difference is the hs17 does not act as a viewing receiver and it has more tuners to support more clients. as far as future proofing, the 54 will not become obsolete until well after your "next" free upgrade becomes...

    Can You Get A 4k Free Upgrade Early?

    they lag and you can't program genie remote to control your surround or sound bar. to me those are huge deal breakers. most people use some type of external audio source since tvs have crap audio. so if you get rvu(directv ready) set up and have any type of audio other than the tv, yep you'll be...
