When I first got DTV back in Oct, I had DSL internet. The whole home DVR setup was a breeze as they tied the DECA broadband adapter in with my wireless router which of course was connected to my DSL modem that ran off of a phone line.. I had coax cable spliced at the wall...one running to my HR 24/200 and the other running to the DECA broadband adapter. No problems...everything worked like a charm as I was able to retrieve recorded shows from the DVR in the downstairs master and more importantly record shows via my smartphone.
Over this past weekend, I decided to ditch my DSL in favor of Roadrunner from Time Warner Cable. When the TWC tech arrived, he told me DTV and TWC couldn't splice off the same coax jack in my bonus room (where everything is located). He said he had to bring the internet in via a coax jack that wasn't being used by DTV. So he installed my Cable modem and wireless router in a spare bedroom. Internet works great, DTV is still the same but now I have no whole home DVR service. I knew this would be an issue but I didn't bother with it over the weekend.
Since I figured there has to be a way, today I called DTV to ask them to help me get my whole home DVR configuration figured out. As I figured would be the case, the tech on the phone couldn't really understand what I was trying to explain in terms of my setup. However, at the end of the call, she said she would send a wireless adapter to connect to my Cable modem and it would communicate with my HR24 in my bonus room. Does this sound right? I've never heard or read about such a contraption. Is this my only option? I know I'm can't be the only person on the planet with Cable broadband internet and DirecTv whole home DVR.
It seems there has to be an easier way.

point being... you cant always blame the cable guy 
were not all that bad, and all the good ones are former satellite techs like myself haha. and to comment on running the line into the bonus room for internet, look at this from an installers point of view. its quite possible that the line was not feasible or possible to run. inside and outside walls, wall fishes etc, the cust possibly not wanting another line or holes drilled in his house. If i was the TW Tech, i would have done exactly what OP said was done. Job complete no issues. as stated before MRV has nothing to do with an internet connection, therefore was not the techs responsibility. The tech actually knew what he was doing by not trying to diplex or anything similiar.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
