Im about to embark on the process to call D* to start the install process of the equipment in our recently purchased house. In the previous home we had two SWIM-Two DECA units running to a total of 13 receivers, a gigabit router was needed to tie the two DECA units together - we found that...

I am getting a message from time to time... MEDIA MAIN has been disconnected from your home network. The Playlist is no longer available. MEDIA MAIN is a new HR34 "Genie" DVR. I am seeing the message on a H-22 receiver. There is a gigabit router for the network connection. Is...

I will try my best to establish the install with a new HR-34-700 (Genie) DVR. I have a large number of DVR's and HD receivers in a 16 port SWIM install. Of the 16 ports that was there, 12 were being used. As we know the HR-34 wants/needs 5 ports. Unless I was going to sacrifice a receiver...

The install at the house is as follows: A SWIM system with whole house DVR setup. There are three HD DVR(s) and eight HD receivers. I am using an iPad Generation I with the DirecTV app. This app is great but having some questions about the apps ability and potential. The app can control the...

Dear Forum, I am interested if anyone uses a lightning surge supressor in line with the dish and a multi-switch? The ground block just doesnt do enough for my situation. I have seen some units that go inside the home and connect to the ground screw on an outlet and that is not any good at...

What is the frequency from the dish to the multiswitch? I am going to install lightning suppression to the system and need to make sure the ICE unit will support the frequencies from the LNB to the multiswitch. Has anyone had experience with installing lightning suppression with a slimline HD...

Thanks for the great info on recieving a free HD DVR. The group is great! The new dish (slim-line) is installed and the HD DVR is going. The D* installer was great. I helped him with a good portion of the install, I wired the house the first time with my own multiswitch and I wanted to make...

Anyword or any not on what channel the NFL game Thanksgiving night from NFL Network will be on HD? Will NFL network ever go HD? Just wondering about scuttlebutt. Time to spread rumors. Thanks Tampa Sat Man

From what I am seeing with the AT-9 dish and the Zinwell switch there is a limit to 8 outputs. I have the 3LNB with a 5X16 multiswitch. If D* decides in 6 months to put more HD content I dont what to take one step forward and then two steps back by removing receivers. By going to the AT-9...
