AM 22 compatibility with HR 44

[rcodey]

Several months ago I purchased an AM 22 off air tuner from Directv . I actually thought I was getting an AM 21 but they sent me the 22 . I have tried to connect the AM 22 to my HR 44 but notice that there is a power incompatibility . I am not an expert in power cords but the connections are totally different and not interchangeable . You cannot take the power cord from the HR44 and plug it into the AM 22 . Likewise you cannot plug the AM 22 cord into the HR44 .

Is there an solution to this power problem . BTW , the instructions for the AM 22 in the box were in Spanish . Online instructions in English are unhelpful .

It will work. You need to leave the power connector fro the power brick connected to the HR44. You the need to get a power cord that will attach to the AM22 and connect that directly to the AM22, Amazon or maybe even a local store like Radio Shack. Then just connect the USB cable between the two.

Rad is correct. The AM22 works fine with the HR44

Weren't the AM22's the same thing but from Latin America?

No, it was the updated version of the AM21..

Don't jump the power cords. Plug the am22 directly in the wall

Purchased a power cord from Radio Shack and plugged it into the wall . The tuner is working .
