    CAT5 Network

    Mark, Assuming the cat5 run goes directly from that jack to a wiring area and all the extensions in the house are not spliced in, then you should be able to reuse the CAT5 for network instead of phone. Here is a link for a wiring diagram: ConnectLink Wireless - Ethernet Wiring Diagram It is...

    directv2pc

    Is the VM network adapter setup as bridged or NAT'd behind your PC's real IP? I would think you would want it bridged so the adapter is on the same network as the HR21 and can respond to broadcasts/multicasts.

    DirecTV 2 PC Software Version 5717

    Hum, I am getting the same audio HDCP error as post 11, but my audio is through HDMI with an ATI Radeon 4550 video card. The built-in audio on the PC has been disabled in BIOS so it was the only audio source listed and it shows as HDCP enabled when looking at the audio properties. Anyone run...

    BBC America HD?

    Well, where is it? So the rumor mill was saying we were supposed to get the channel yesterday but no luck. Sad because I think a nice amount of their programming would be real HD and not stretch-o-vision like some of the channels in the line-up.

    MRV and pixelation

    I see the same thing. Both the HR21 and H21 are connected to a switch via cat5, so I don't think bandwidth is an issue, then again, I was the one who terminated the RJ45's and knowing my skill with that, it could be the bandwidth :)

    Networking an HR-22- help!

    Hi Mike, A broadband router will allow you to share the DSL connection with more devices then just your computer. So, the broadband router (wireless or otherwise) will connect to the DSL modem and then you need a connection from your computer to the router. This can be either wired with an...

    Can't Purchase On-Demand

    I had this problem before but it was an issue that was in Direct's network and they fixed it themselves. Now it is back. I can download content just fine via on-demand but when I go to watch it, I get the error 733, Check internet connection or phone line. Since I can get the content via...

    Help DirecTV: Troublshooting the 22/62 Network Error Message

    I noticed that I no longer get a network error 22 when doing the network test. Not sure if it is only me that is working again but will take a bet that they figured out the issue.

    On Demand purchase won't go through

    Direct must have found the issue. I no longer get the error 22 during the network test. I haven't tried purchasing a on-demand movie that has been downloaded yet but my guess is it will work too. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    On Demand purchase won't go through

    I tried upgrading to the new CE but unfortunately, same problem. Also looked on Direct's site. Some user's errors were related to a DNS issue but I changed my DNS to one that I know resolves the name given in the thread that it tries to connect to and even that didn't work. Still searching...

    On Demand purchase won't go through

    Tried it directly connected to the cable-modem. It picked up the new IP address but still no luck passing the network test. I didn't want to try purchasing a movie as I wasn't sure if I would be able to watch it in the 24 hrs. Since nobody else is having this issue, possible it is my ISP...

    On Demand purchase won't go through

    It is hard-wired ethernet. The firewall should allow all traffic outbound. There are no rules denying that. It is a Cisco PIX 501 so it may be a bit more stringent then a home router solution. I will try connecting the receiver directly to the cable modem and after a reboot of both and...

    On Demand purchase won't go through

    I am having an issue where a HD movie I downloaded last week won't purchase. It says it can't connect to the internet. I ran though the tests and it fails (all the tests pass but the last, internet). The odd part is I can start a new on-demand download and it reaches the internet fine to...

    So who here signed up for DirecTV HD Extra pack?

    When I came home for lunch a few weeks back to find "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" on MGMHD, I decided that I had to keep the package. Plus, with HD content being scarce, I will take all the non-sports and PPV channels I can get.

    HR21 (ALL) CE Release 2/8 & 2/9

    I downloaded the CE code on Sat night. Called and activated DoD while the code was D/Ling. It took almost 48 hours to kick in for me but that could be because I only have 1 tuner active (can't we have a small SWM that just works for 1 device?). A few hours ago I got the "downloading guide"...

    I am thinking of switching from E* to D* and am looking on D*'s website at pricing. It says that the "best offer of the year" ends today. Does anyone know what will change in pricing tomorrow?

    Daquiri drive through Is the Daquiri thing where they put a little piece of foil or plastic over the straw so it is not considered an "open container" when you drive-thru? That one just kills me :)

    Guide data for locals gone?

    Is anyone else having a problem where the guide data for just the locals is not there? I have the AT&T Homezone service which uses Dish Network for the TV programming. I called Homezone tech support and they said it is a known problem they are dealing with and that the satellites themselves do...

    Showtime volume issue?

    Problem is fixed, sorta Well, AT&T called me back and said there was an issue with the secondary audio for those channels. Once I changed the secondary audio to a different setting then English (I thought that setting was correct) or Seconday Audio to another language (I chose Spanish since it...

    Showtime volume issue?

    Is anyone else experiencing an issue with SHO-E and SHO-W having really low volume levels? The rest of the Showtime channels as well as the standard channels are fine but I have to crank up the TV really high (to the point that the speakers are humming) to listen to them. I called AT&T...

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    Ok, I guess I have to get used to "powering off" TV2. It is easy to just shut the TV itself off but I suppose it won't free up that tuner unless you press the TV2 power button for the receiver. I would pay good money for that MediaPoint. Anyone from AT&T listening?

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    Hi Gary, Everything is going well so far. The FF problem was a noob problem on my end as I was pushing the track forward button instead of the FF button. The interface is nice (the colors are a bit loud sometimes). DVR recording setup is very easy. The multi-colored buttons on the remote...

    Yup, you are right. The buttons on the ends are for track skipping.
