Just switched to DirecTV and got my new service activated today. I was set up with a HR24 as the main receiver and a H25 on the second TV, both with 2.0.24 firmware. I have whole home DVR service activated (advanced receiver service).
Here are my questions:
I connected an Ethernet cable, but the receiver reports no Internet connection and a 169.x.x.x IP address (self-assigned). What do I need to do to get the receiver on the network?
Also, I installed the new iPhone app that can stream some channels over my wireless network. But, when I use the app, it says it can't find the receiver on the network. This makes sense considering the 169.x.x.x IP but what should I do to fix it?
Probably related to this as well, all remote DVR scheduling attempts through the DirecTV website have failed.
Noticed the HR24 only has 2 tuners. I was hoping for the HR34, especially coming from the Dish Hopper/Joey system with 3 tuners, but it's not a huge deal.
