Hello everyone,
I want to thank you in advanced for the help.
I recently purchased a 4K TV. However, when I had my DirecTV installed a year ago, the "main" receiver (3 total) was installed in my bedroom where I rarely watch TV. The main receiver I was told is the only one to support 4K, but I put the new 4K TV in my family room that had one of the "non" 4K receivers. According to my online account, these models are: HR54-200. My question is can I swap the two: move the 4K receiver into the family room and move the non-4K one into my bedroom and do a simple swap? My install guy at the time said I'd need to have techs come out to do it, but I don't see why that's necessary, unless I'm missing something that I don't understand. I am extremely techy but with Computer Hardware and Networking, not so much with this area of technology besides the obvious basics. Would there be a way for me to do this myself; is it a simple swap; or do I need to get the techs out here to do it? I contacted DirecTV, he said he'd send me an email on how to do it, and lo behold, the email contained a dead 404 link.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
