I need best way to get 3 x HR23 MRV setup connected to the internet with a wired solution (pics of m

I see a lot of different answers/solutions on the web, it seems people have this setup so differently.

I'm including some attachments of pics so you can see exactly what I have to make this as easy as possible.

1 pic is my swm8 switch
1 pic is the white deca adapter which has my feed from the swm8 and then gets plugged in to each reciever with ethernet.

This is the link of the kit I think I need to make this happen: Directcv Cinema Connection Kit DECABB1R0 http://www.google.ca/url?q=http://w...KSxj7g&usg=AFQjCNFpPsasXY7XbO7eo72cWCW49B5jtg

I'm not interested in a wireless solution, I want something stable. I do have ethernet jacks next to all my recievers which are fed Internet from my router and at first I thought the solution was as easy as just plugging in Internet fed ethernet cables to all the recievers?

I then googled it and if I understand correctly, the connection kit would feed from my swm8 directly to my router and since I already have the MRV setup, that would be it?

That would be better since I could use that ethernet connection for something else in the room, I also read one thread that said using both ethernet connections was known to slow down recievers.

Looking for your expert advice please

Ethernet mrv isn't supported by Directv, and you have to email the correct department with the correct message to get it activated.

Okay thanks for the reply everyone.

So yes in my current MRV (non web connected), I do pay the $3/month fee, I obtained the Deca's myself and I remember I couldn't activate it online, I had to email Directv support.

So are you saying I don't need the CCK and I can just plug in an additional ethernet from my router to the receiver but that would cost an additional $3 on top of the $3/month I'm already paying for mrv and that the functionality has to be enabled again by Directv support?

Since it was confirmed above that the wired CCK kit I gave a link for is the right model for my application, I figure it would just be the most efficient way to do this and would allow me to use the ethernet jack I have in my receiver rooms for something else.

The ethernet based mrv is the same price, $3/month. Like I said, it's not supported by Directv. Any issues and you are on your own.

As the TS has chosen to self-install DECA, it isn't supported by DIRECTV either.

Apparently you gathered the wrong information from this exchange. If you choose to go DECA, you MUST have a CCK to connect to your conventional LAN unless you have a Genie. DECA and Ethernet cannot be active on the receivers at the same time.

Since it was confirmed above that the wired CCK kit I gave a link for is the right model for my application, I figure it would just be the most efficient way to do this and would allow me to use the ethernet jack I have in my receiver rooms for something else.

With the exception of the Genie, connecting the receivers via DECA does NOT allow use of the Ethernet ports for other things. It is one or the other. With the HR24, the Ethernet port is literally disabled when DECA is active and using the second Ethernet port on models that have one has never been recommended.

Thank you!

The CCK can be found pretty cheap, seems super simple since I've already had the Decas and MRV setup for a long time now.

So just CCK to a port on the SWM8 and then CCK to a Lan port on router and then I just run whatever connection setup on receivers.

Is that the best case scenario, does the shared Coax now brining in the satellite and now Internet, have as much bandwidth as what could be coming in on a stand alone cat5 and a 25Mbit internet connection?

Also I see there are now two versions of the Cinema connection Kit, any reason to get one over the other?

The newer model is the DECA2PRO
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVK1ITI/?tag=satell01-20

The older and model I mostly see used is the Decabb1mr0-01
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HAOWLW/?tag=satell01-20

They both do the same thing. I personally like the one on amazon better, just because it is not so convluted when you set it next to a router. The other one is just Directv being cheap so they only have that version now. Basically it's a receiver DECA with a power supply.

By the way get rid of that old Dishpro adaptor in your one picture. No one wnats to see that here ...

Thanks, I agree with your assesment and I ordered the older more router looking broadband connection kit. Although I do like the look of the newer Deca's, sleeker, smaller, black, compared to the white blocks. Anyhow nothing I would swamp my old ones out for, they are hidden anyways.

I'll have to remember to keep the dishpro switch out of any future pics!

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 Discussion

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.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
