When I originally had my Genie installed, the technicians "attempted" to install a broadband DECA (although at the time, I didn't know it was called that) however the apparently didn't first disconnect my other DVR's from my home network (I now know that was the problem) and they caused my home network to stop working.

After a long time troubleshooting, I had them remove the DECA equipment.

I recently moved one of my receivers into a room that will be difficult to an Ethernet cable to. Therefore, I now need to convert my home network Whole-Home-DVR system into DirecTv's preferred way of doing it. When I called them, it was going to be very expensive, (like $175 to have DTV come out and do it.) However, the nice telephone rep told me everything I needed to get to make the DECA system work.

(Sorry for rambling, but, I wanted to give some background)

Now to my question. I have the broadband DECA on the way, and DTV provided the receiver DECA. I have 2 more devices in the bedroom that need Ethernet connections in addition to the DTV. I have an idea this is impossible, but, can I plug the short Ethernet cable from the Receiver DECA into a small 4 port Ethernet Switch and plug 1 port into the DTV receiver, and the other 2 devices into port 2 and 3.

Thanks in advance.

Well what the model numbers of the you have? All Genies & HR24 have builtin DECAs. All other DirecTV STBs need stand alone DECAs. If you only have a Genie and HR24s, then a simple Ethernet connection from your router to the Genie maybe all you need.

Hello,

The one that I moved is an HR23-700. The purpose of adding the DECA is because I cannot get Ethernet to it to continue the current setup. It had an Ethernet cable hooked up to it before in another room...

You can either use the Genie as the bridge or use a BroadBand DECA for the same purpose. At the HR23 location you can use a receiver DECA going to the switch with ethernet able going to the HR23 and other devices.

A mixture of Ethernet & DECA wont work. You need to choose. How many non-Genie and non HR24s do you have? As they will all need DECAs.

Well, that is not quite correct. ethernet and DECA is just a transport method which leads to the same destination. As long as the system DIRECTV system (DECA) is connected to the network as the ethernet network and that network is installed correctly, there should be no issues. For some receivers are BSF is needed in order to block DECA in a hybrid system.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city :rolleyes:

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
