Do I need anything else ?

[Ronnie-]

I am about to hook a hr 20 into my system. I currently have a hr-44 with two clients.
My plan is to replace a client with the 20. Do I need any other hardware besides what is making my current setup work? Or can I unplug a client, get a smart card, and connect and go?

I believe your good to go if you do as you mentioned above.

You already have the PI and splitter in play and LNB.

What about the two sat ports of the 20? I remember needing something to make the both work ? Or needing to connect to the right one.

With SWM you will just connect one (the port may say FTM instead of SWM, they are the same). Do you have a DECA module for whole-home networking? The HR20 does not have built in DECA.

To add to this, he's going to need a 2-way SWM splitter and a BS filter to get it to connect to the MoCa network

Isn't the deca module built into the 44?

It seems like I had this a couple of years ago, but refresh my memory. Where in line do these go? I know the filter is right at the 20. Right?

Also wasn't that only needed on one of the 20 models and not the other ?

You sat in line in to a 2-way SWM splitter behind the HR20 from the 2-way you need to run a bs filter off one side in to sat in 2 and then you need a small jumper coming off the the other leg of the 2-way in to a receiver deca and then receiver deca to sat 1 in then from there you need to connect the Ethernet cable from the deca in to the Ethernet port on the receiver. It's actually a huge pain in the but when using HR20's for MRV

That's only for the -100 model. The -700 works like any other Directv dvr.

Ok, I had the 100 before. This one is not if I am not mistaken. I should be good to go. Thanks all, and Rey too I guess.........lol

Man, it sounds like it.

For the 100, like chip said, that is correct.
The 700 seems to be as plug and play as any other model. Waiting on my smart card but it seems to be up and running otherwise.

Ok, I got the hr 20/700 hooked up. They sent a new access card and it's authorized. I can watch TV, record, ect.

I can not get it connected to my hr-44 to share the players, and it isn't connected to the Internet.


I have the coax screwed into sat input 2.

Any ideas why it isn't connecting to the deca/Moca (whatever directv calls it) network? Do I need something else

Do I need the deca ethernet/coax adapter? I'm thinking that's it.

yes you do. The 700 should have a basic power cord and not the big fat 3 prong monster with a ground, this is just the normal deca install. You need to run your coax into the receiver deca then attach the receiver deca to sat 1. Leave sat 2 alone entirely. Dont forget the ethernet cord, use the top port on the back of the receiver. From there red button reset, then go setup - settings - network setup - connect now )or repeat configuration. You should get an 88 code and be good to go. Name your location under the "whole home" section and mrv will then work.

Thank you very much.
