HD and DVR Hookup with Single Line Outlets. Please Help
Hello to anyone with any helpful advice. Directv is going to attempt an install tomorrow on a relocation of equipment (moved). The new house only has single line hookups and I need to install 3 receivers. One problem troublesome HOA. They have approved deck/porch wall mount on SE side of residence, but only one wire punch (or two simultaneously in this case ((HD/DVR)) through wall. I can get to bundle of coax in adjacent garage area as whole house is wired. I only need two HD/DVR hookups on main level and downstairs is Standard Converter. My models are HR-24-200 (HD/DVR) and Model R15 (standard DVR). As for third, it is a standard converter and probably needs no discussion. The other problem is my condo complex is 6 units with NID (Xfinity fiber optic in) on my end of condo plot. Is there a way I can split these signals from interior/garage bundle of coax and/or amplify if need be with single line outlets to get HD/DVR and DVR functioning properly without the whole house pkg. which they want way too much money for and I don't desire or need it anyway. Not to mention, HOA only allows one entry point, and changing approvals for install location is a two month process. Pls Help if possible. I'll lose it if I can't have my Directv and have to cancel. Thanks for any and all advice
The weird thing is, the Xfinity DVR works in either upstairs outlet and allows watching one show while recording another with only single coax in. (Doesn't even have 2 coax inputs on Xfinity DVR) Haven't had cable since the early millenia and wanna' dump it now. Thanks again for any assistance.

to Satelliteguys!You need a swm type lnb. It allows one cable to each dvr and still be able to record two shows at once.
not on an R15.

True, but it would solve his one cable problem. Maybe he can get another sd dvr like said in his post above.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful and informative input It was all greatly appreciated and very useful. Props to Ice too. So here's how it went down. After much research thanks to all of your tips, I figured the real price and effort of purchasing and installing a swim system. When the tech came out, I gave him the lowdown and explained the situation and my knowledge of the true costs and labor. (Directv wanted $400 for a swim system install btw.) The tech was very cool after realizing I had educated myself in this matter and laughed. Said "that's ridiculous". He authorized with his supervisor to install the system for free and also upgraded my R15 to an R16 for free too. He told Directv that my R15 was on the fritz and needed to replace it with an R16 unit (Thanks Ice). He also offered to install the direct cinema pkg for free too, so I could use the "on demand" features through router. Unfortunately, he couldn't because I chose to keep the Xfinity internet due to $6 cheaper price and 20Mbps/sec speed. Any other ISP and he would have done it for free. (Directv wanted $200 for that alone) He also informed me that this option would've only enabled my HR DVR model for on demand through wireless. Oh well, didn't really need it anyway. So it all went down as a standard install (move) and lots of freebies/perks. Thanks again, all of you rock! (I did make him sign ((amend the work order)) that all was free and authorized by Directv and his supervisor with his signature and made copies for my own protection.) I can't thank all of you enough. I was fully prepared to do it myself too. Things worked out real well and my sincere thanks is due. I have found the full equipment pkgs on ebay from reputable sellers btw for $40-$50. If anyone is in CO and needs this setup fast I have found a guy that has full pkgs on sale for $60 to do it yourself, assuming you have a dish of course. (Not advertising here, trust me. With the exception of bragging all of you up!) Thanks for not letting Directv rip me off and the solid education to all who contributed. Bump to all of you! Thanks again. I will direct all Satellite questions here from myself and recommend to anyone I know. Have a great one all and keep rockin' that dish of whatever variety!

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

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....

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.
