Hi all,
I just moved into a new house and decided to take advantage of the 2yr offers DirecTv was having (plus AAA discount promo) and really wanted the HR34 box. I ended up having the HR34 and two H25 boxes installed. Now I'm starting to re-wire my house and have a couple questions as I'm new to satellite configurations. I'd also like to mention that in general I'm thrilled with the service and the hardware is fantastic. It has been setup for a few weeks now.
My current setup: coax from dish runs into attic into a SWS-4 splitter, three to boxes and one outlet is unused. A DECA adapter with SWS-2 splitter was setup at my HR34 DVR. Power inserter is inline with one of the H25 boxes. I moved my FIOS router to another room and now have the DECA adapater connected to a N wireless bridge which has resulted in playback of recorded programing on the H25 boxes having issues.
My questions:
-Can I connect all three boxes with ethernet or do I need to use the DECA adapter?
-If I need to use the DECA adapter, is it best to have it run directly to the SWS-4 in the attic?
-I am sure this is hard to put your finger on, but I have the new guide on all my boxes and not one shows Pandora. It's the only app I care about so it's a bit annoying that everything works except for it. Any suggestions?
I appreciate any help, I only want to open my walls once so I'd like to go for the best install possible.
