    Can't connect my HR24-100 to the Internet

    If you have multiple receivers on a WHDVR setup, the ETHERNET connection would disable the internal DECA, removing the HR24 from the coax network and would not allow the other receivers to share its playlist. You do need the Cinema Connection Kit to properly bridge the INTERNET. The Braod...

    How to Pause Live TV (game) Watch DVR and come back to same place?

    I'd recommend recording the game if you don't like the incidental change of channel dumping the buffer if you bump the remote's channel up/down or number pad. You can hit pause, List, watch a show and use the previous button to flip back and forth between two recorded shows without having to...

    TV Apps

    I agree but I don't think it's that simple for everyone. I use OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 and my VOD d/ls and TV APPS seem quicker rather than waiting for the ISP DNS server. In addition to the STB ports, I forward port UDP port 1701 and TCP port 443 to my receivers also. (I don't forward the Audio...

    TV Apps

    Can't argue with that; the amount of posted issues seems to be growing which could indicate the resolution is on a slow pace. There are other existing issues that are in need of resolution: HDMI audio & video, video freezes and hard lock-ups, OTA & Media Share issues on the HR24-500 seem to...

    Whole Home DVR Issue

    IMO, the disconnects and "No networked DVRs found" are directly related if you're using DHCP addresses. As other replies in this thread had suggested, the static IPs are what is recommended for those issues. Despite the fact that your present connection is intermittent, static IPs may be a...

    Were any specifics exchanged via Facebook like acct # or RID #'s? If not, maybe it's only a coincidence you're running TV APPS, 12 hours after contacting Directv through Facebook? Not trying to dismiss the resolution; but I rather hope there is a quicker method for individuals looking for...

    Current Setup

    The H series has the Autotune, the HR series does not. If you're seeking MRV capability, there's only two recommended solutions: 1) If I understand, you have a wired ETHERNET cable ran from HR21 to router LAN but the H24 is not connected. If so, one solution w/b to run another ETHERNET...

    One of these placed at the input of your splitter should resolve the problem: DIRECTV Band Stop Filter (BSFR01) - DIRECTV - BSFR01 - Any neighbor wishing to protect their content from view or deletion can do the same.

    MRV doesn't stay connected

    The theory, as I understand it, was that the DHCP server was complicating matters for some routers and/or ISPs. The only connection I see to the MRV function is that there is a requirement to be in the same net mask and have a common gateway. I suspect it's for DRM/copyright concerns to monitor...

    Media share issues-HR24-500

    HR24 Internet question

    DECA is built-in; wireless ETHERNET is not built-in. Need to know more about your setup to advise you on how to connect to the INTERNET. For example, if you have Whole Home DVR (WHD), simply plugging-in an ETHERNET cable will disable the MRV over Coax feature and may handicap or defeat it's...

    MRV doesn't stay connected

    Reading this thread, the OP has had three different issues... I'd start by checking the coax diagnostics by holding right arrow on front panel and press guide for approx. 1 second and release both. This only works for the H24 and HR24 boxes and the Phy level test cannot measure the node loss at...

    is this possible?

    LOL; if you don't mind the potential pro-rated $480 ETF, there is no long term contract to worry about. I think that's part of what SC was implying?

    NEW Parental ratings info issues.

    I've noticed not all shows have available information. The parental info is also guide cache' dependent. If you've forced a cache' dump (two RBRs or restarts within thirty minute window) or recently upgraded f/w, it would need another two to three days to re-populate the data. I've also...

    Need help with Dual HD-DVR Multi Room Setup

    Don't accept anything less than a HR24. Not to pick on any model of HD-DVR but IMO, the HR24-100 and HR24-200 models seem to have more frequent auto-reboots or freezing than the HR24-500. But some seem to think the HR24-500 model has more PQ issues. Hopefully the f/w issues can be resolved...

    Need help with Dual HD-DVR Multi Room Setup

    A word of caution about using DHCP reserved addresses, it's best to use the static IP as opposed to reserving DHCP reserved addresses. The reserved IPs were reported to be causing MRV issues for some home network users; they were repeatedly losing connection to one or more of the Directv boxes...

    Signal looking..... Well Not right to me.

    Do you have the Protection Plan? If so, no problem; call Directv. If no PP; the dish most likely only needs re-peaking. But if that doesn't do it, you may need a new lnb.
