I'm coming from an MDU account. I own all the equipment... including the dish. They wouldn't install a dish at my current residence so I had to do the work myself. The easiest thing for me to do is just install new dish and move my receivers. It's that simple. I mention the tenants since they...

Understood... but I need to buy new equipment. The current equipment is going to stay for my future tenants. Not sure what is best to buy.

Hi all, I'm moving to a new house and need some feedback. I currently use a standard HD LNB with a mulitswitch for conversion to SWM. Many many years ago, an DTV installer told me that was the way to go, because the SWM LNB's had issues in extreme temperatures... specifically cold weather. I've...

If you all your boxes are HR24's, you only need a DECA adapter or CCK hooked to your router... so your statement is correct. Each 24 has will receive internet over coax.

I have the answer. I'm on my mobile so I'm not sure how to link URLs from the app. Do a search for my previous post below. This explains my setup and others complaints about the setup. What you are trying do do is my current setup with different equipment. PM me with any questions. "DECA...

From people's posts, it doesn't seem like anyone would want this setup, but here is an update: I completed the setup today with the PI and everything is working flawlessly. This is the setup below: DISH -> SWM PI -> 4-Way Green Splitter Splitter Output - 1: CCK -> goes to main switch...

See, that's what I thought. I could never get it to work that way. That's why I started this thread. My HR24 kept telling me "not able to connect" and "make sure you ethernet cable is plugged in." For some reason I couldn't get an IP. I just figured the HR24 didn't like the DECA connected...

I agree, this is not the best solution, but I don't have any line to my main switch available. Running one is not an option either. Well it is, but I wont be at this place for many more years so I'm not going to waste the effort.

I should have been a little more clear with some background knowledge. I'll start again... I upgraded my HR22 to an HR24. HR22 needed the DECA adapter. For a little over the last year, here is how I had it setup: DISH -> SWM PI -> 4-Way Green Splitter Splitter Output - 1: CCK -> goes to main...

Thanks for both responses. Sounds like what I was trying to do is defiantly feasible. All I really need to get is a PI for the DECA. Here is my setup. Should paint a clearer picture. DISH -> SWM PI -> 4-Way Green Splitter Splitter Output - 1: CCK -> goes to main switch (office) 2: HR22 w/DECA...

So... I really haven't seen a definite answer, but I'm pretty sure I know what to do. I want to take a DECA adapter and covert tbe signal to my network switch. I've got a SWM8 RG6 line split into two. One going to my HR24 and one going to a DECA adapter. The DECA adapter has an PI connected to...

I don't know, I have to blame someone ;)

Freaking DTV. I restarted the box and everything works now. Sigh. Thanks for the post digiblur.

I'm lost... I previously had an HR22 w/DECA adapter and a H25 setup without any MVR issues. I've now introduced an HR24 and removed the H25. I cannot get MVR to work on the HR24. When I do the network setup, it keeps telling me no connection found. Also, I don't understand why it keeps saying...

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but here I go... if I have a SWM8, can I get 5 SWM through one of the SWM outputs? Or is it max 4... as in each line has a total of 4? From what I know, it's a total of 8 through all combined lines... so could be 1 and 7, or 6 and 2. Correct?

Just set it up about an hour ago. Works without any issues. Having said that, dealing with DTV's customer service to get it activated took 2 phone calls. One was 42 mins long and the other was 5 mins. First person was completely clueless on how to activate the service. She kept telling me I...

Thanks for the replies. As I said, I already have everything. I want to buy a DECA box and service, but just wanted to make sure that my SWM switch is compatible. I don't need D to install anything since I can get the box online for like $15 on ebay. Thanks!

Every ad/thread I read it says I need a green swm switch for MRV. Is this really true? I have a green splitter, HR22 (still need the DECA), an H25, and a non-green SWM8 (or at least I think it's not green since there are no "green" stickers on it - about 2 years old). I don't want to buy a DECA...

Finally... I can stop writing DTV letters about not having AMCHD.

Don't need to reiterate... same issue here too

Right, but in terms with bandwidth, the two resolutions above have just about the signature. So one 720p channel will take up the same space in the stream as one 1080i using the same Mbps compression.

Is this above statement accurate? I thought all broadcast (non PPV & VOD) HD channels are max 1080i/720p (~1024x720)... not 1080p (1920x1080) unless it's over VOD. Which means we're already below 1440x1080 for transponder channels. Also, you would never change the resolution. That would...

It's leased. You also signed at BB the lease agreement. Either electronic or physical.

I don't ever remember it being free, but I could be wrong. I always have to upgrade towards the end of the regular NHL season so I can get the playoffs. I have Choice. As Mr. Crandall said, it's on Choice Xtra. Not sure what the upgrade cost will be for you since I'm on an MDU account, but I...

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. This this is like saying the quality of an apple from Jewel/Albertson is better than the quality of a banana from Dominick's/Safeway... i think that makes sense. Blu ray is over 2x-4x the bps of broadcast HD... from any provider.
