    WH DVR clients

    so, if I were to swap out the C31's for HR24's, I would have the same functionality? Pause, record, shows on the HR24's, then view them in different room? The installer setup DECA for our current HR34 and C31's. thanks!

    WH DVR clients

    Had a HR34 and 2 C31 clients installed last week. The remote control responsiveness and overall speed of the clients is terrible. You hit the fast fwd button 3 times, then 4 then 5 still waiting....then all of a sudden, you blast 10 minutes past the show! You hit the pwr button, waiting...

    dtv genie and clients in central location

    well.....the verdict is in. DirecTV C31 clients do not work with Monoprice HDMI over Cat6 wall plates! The Cat6 cable is high quality shielded 23AWG, all keystones and connectors on the cable are also shielded. I have a Sony DVD player that I have been testing with and it works flawless of the...

    does AM21 add tuners?

    thanks iceberg. With my current dish vip722, it's nice to have OTA and dvr all of wifes network drama shows on it; then I have 2 free sat tuners, so in this case, the dish net ota does add tuners; bummer dtv isn't the same. since a dtv sub. seems to get "free" locals, I really can't justify an...

    does AM21 add tuners?

    bummer, -1 for dtv is there a monthly charge for using AM21? the only reason I can see it necessary is if: 1. you don't want to pay for dtv locals 2. dtv locals aren't available for your area

    does AM21 add tuners?

    HR34 does not have OTA support without AM21, correct? HR35 has 5 sat tuners, correct? Say you add an AM21 to the HR34, do you now have 7 tuners? thanks.

    dtv genie and clients in central location

    last night, for the heck of it, I made up two 75-100' cat5e cables and plugged in the hdmi-cat6 extender plate....worked great with my dish vip722! So well, I unhooked the 2nd vip722 in our bedroom and returned it to the local retailer; we don't need it any longer, nor do we need the extra fees...

    great, thanks for the info everyone. Who thought you'd be able to mount thin client sat. receivers to the wall in your server room? LOL I'll post some pics when it's all setup.

    dtv genie and clients in central location

    I have 1 of these: http://hot-link.com/pages/products.cgi?mrchcatid=1&mrchid=11 It's exactly like what you described, you tape the emitter over the IR sensor of the receiver. My only concern with this is if you have 2 of the extender systems, 1 for each room, would you get cross talk? You'd...

    what about OTA, I also installed an antenna in the attic before drywall went up. Could the antenna be hooked to the HR34, then scan in locals?

    dtv genie and clients in central location

    awesome, so the clients must have some type of switch from IR to RF? Any comments on the RF range? The house is a ranch, so maximum the sig. would have to go through 1 floor.

    MDU - QAM firmware on vip722k

    thanks! I was mistaken, i thought QAM on/off was a difference of firmware. Sounds like its just a feature of the same firmware version; able to detect QAM or multiswitch.
