    The End of DIRECTV?

    It is by census tract. We are a small WISP, and have the ability to report to a specific address, but that is not what the FCC asks for.

    Want to reserve a tuner for a persistent channel

    If a firmware update is not forced when installed, the receiver will do a firmware update and reboot 2-6 hours after activation. That is the reboot you experienced. As already stated, guide updates do not require a reboot.

    Proper grounding

    With either example, you are better off not grounding at all. Proper grounding of the dish is by using the same ground as what the equipment is grounded to. If you are going to use a separate ground rod, it needs to be bonded to the house ground. Best approach would be to place a ground block...

    Directv RGB or Ybcr?

    I’m pretty sure DirecTV receivers output YPbPr and not RGB from the analog outputs. Possible you have a bad Component adaptor cable?

    Why is an HR20 seeking an input on Sat In 2???

    Did you go through Sat setup in menu? My memory may be failing me, but I do not believe the HR20 automatically detects SWM as the newer receivers do. If the receiver was originally configured to a non SWM lnb, that may be your problem.

    Pic quality

    Are you sure you have the HR54 set for the correct resolution? It’s not enough that you set the resolution in the menu, you also need to select Audio/Video from the Info banner and select change resolution and format to actually set the correct resolution. You probably already have done this...

    Need advice on switching to Genie

    With Genie and HR24's, the box you set the recording up on is the harddrive you will record on. It is also the device you manage the recordings from, with the exception of deleting the recording. Same as you have now.

    Is Direct TV Service Tied to a Specific Dish?

    If the LNB's are the same, you can move with no problem. If you have for instance a SWM5 at one location, and a SWM3 in another, you will need to re-run setup at each location, or your receiver could act funny at times.
