[JAMES HYDE]

So How Do I Setup The Access Point So It Can Work For My Receiver Can I Convert The Access Point So It Will Work?

There is a thread here somewhere that suggests Ethernet wireless adapters for use with DVRs.

I'm not sure what you can do with networking on an H21, unless you want to use it to view content from an HR2x DVR.

BTW, it would be easier to read your posts if you turned off the capitalization of the first letter in each word.

Good luck with that, he does it in all of his posts. Apparently he doesn't understand how difficult it makes it to read. I for one will simply ignore them from now on.

If you have a laptop with a wifi connection enable Internet sharing over your Ethernet connection.connect your laptop to your dvr's Ethernet port with a cat 5 crossover cable bam networked

REGARDING Sling Link

In a word... UGH... "home-wire solution", 85 Mbps, cost, YUCK!


ANOTHER huge caveat is if the home’s electrical system is divided into multiple phases (meaning two or more independent power lines come into the house) then the SlingLink Turbo will not be able to establish a connection. Both SlingLinks need to be on the same electric circuit; they also should only be directly connect on an isolated outlet AND have trouble handling High Definition.

I am not calling these "junk" BUT there are MUCH better options. These are basically the lazy man's way and offer up headaches for those wanting to enjoy near trouble free programming.
