    Washinton DC locals channels 4 and 5

    I'm trying to figure out why both 4 and 5 would be affected. Do they share an uplink to D*? I'm also very surprised not many people are complaining about this. I'd figure with all the D* customers in our area, something more than a few posts on forums would be out there.

    Washinton DC locals channels 4 and 5

    Channel 4 tonight sucks bad tonight. Thank God MNF is on ESPN. More reports of this problem here: Pixelation on Local HD Channel | DIRECTV Receiver Technical Sup | DIRECTV Technical Help Forums

    Picture break up in Maryland

    Same here. Strange that it would be a few unaffiliated locals in our area. Do they share the same uplink to D*?

    Washinton DC locals channels 4 and 5

    I noticed a lot of pixelation with channel 9 during the Skins game. Now on Channel 4 for the Lions/Saints game I am seeing a little every minute or so. To the point where sometimes the screen goes black. All signal levels look good. Going to check out a few more channels to see if this is...

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Larger file size probably means higher quality. Also could mean a higher bit rate. If the DECAs only allow 100mbs as opposed to gigabit speeds, that could lead to the bandwidth not being able to stream a file that large.

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Hooked mine up today. After rebooting all routers, switches, and DECAs everything worked fine. I tried a 12gb mkv on my WDTV and there was some stuttering. So i tried a file under 10GB and it seemed to work fine. I'll continue to test it and see if there are any limitations. If 10GB is the...

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    I'll order it then. I found the black deca box on ebay for ~$20 shipped. A lot better than what a lot of the satellite store websites are selling it for (~$55)

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    I have not actually bought it yet, but was planning on it. Was this the right one? And what does the DC Power Pass mean and what coax goes to it?

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Well I just ordered a black one and a SWS-2 splitter so I'll report back when I have everything set back up and running.

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Thanks again. Everywhere I find the black DECA like the one above, it mentions the power supply comes with it. Are you saying the power supply is not required for the black one?

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Easy enough to try. Just to be sure, is this the DECA box I should be using? DIRECTV DECA Broadband Adapter with Power Supply (DECABB1R0)

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    Are you saying I could use a DECA (like the older setups) to 'tap in' and it wouldn't effect the HR24's ability to connect to the Whole home DVR? Here is an example of what i'm talking about:

    Using DECA for streaming media.....can it be done?

    I currently have 2 HR24s and 2 H24s using DECA for the whole home DVR. At one of the TVs, I have a WDTV Live media player that I had to run a Cat-5 to since all my media is on my NAS on the network. Is it possible to 'tap in' to the DECA and use the HR24 as a network access point? Then I...

    HR24 ghost in the machine

    Sounds like some sort of interference. I had something similar happen when I was with Dish. The RF remote in my bedroom would work tuner #2 of our receiver. I'm guessing the neighbor had Dish too because once in a while i'd see the channel change. You would see them enter the numbers, or...

    Using a Slinbox with DirecTV

    I have a slingbox pro HD and it is awesome. Just use the web based slingplayer from your Mac. The remote will be on your screen in the browser. If you want to control it via a remote in a case you are no close to the Imac, you may be able to use your remote in RF mode if you are not too far...

    Why less audio ouputs on the HR-24

    Sounds like you need a newer receiver with HDMI switching ;)

    Why less audio ouputs on the HR-24

    You should not be using RCA for your surround sound. Give us the model # of you surround sound receiver so we can offer the bet wiring configuration for you.

    Piggybacking Switches? Can it be done?

    Could I just add a SW2 (DIRECTV SWS-2 Satellite 2-Way Wide Band MRV Compatible Splitter (2 -2150 MHz) - DIRECTV - SPLIT2MRV - 874409002404) to the line upstairs?

    Piggybacking Switches? Can it be done?

    All my coax runs end in one central location in the basement. From there they (original builders) only ran one coax to the 3rd floor to the master bedroom. If I wanted to put another box on the 3rd floor (making a total of 2), could I install another switch at that level? Is there any other...

    DirecTV2PC Question..

    I know you can only watch things on the DVR. But can you watch something currently recording? Say you start recording and then 10 minutes later can you bring it up on D*2PC while it is still recording? *just thinking ahead to Sunday football + sunday ticket ;)
