H23 vs. H24?

Toggle sidebar
  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

I did a SEARCH on this but really did not learn anything like I had hoped. Thus, will ask here which receiver is preferable? Maybe I will have a choice when they come to install next MONday. Reading the description of each on the D* Site - the H23 appears to have some kind of COOL features that the H24 does not...........BUT the H24 must be the latest and greatest [w/o those features though]. What is the consensus among you users as to which is the BEST and WHY?

TKS michael:confused:
 
The H23 doesn't need the bbc if you aren't on a swm setup. The H24 does. That's the major difference for most customers.
 
The H24 is smaller and probably faster but is lacking optical audio and S-video outputs. It also has DECA networking built-in. The H23 does not require a BBC on non-SWM installations. They both support the same features.
 
TKS for responses - trying now to search to find out what those abbreviations mean ie. BBC; DECA; and SWM?

Do they both have HDMI OUT? Do they both connect up to the Internet?

PS - appears some of those unknown features are only necessary in a "network" of receivers etc......don't need that - will only have ONE HD Receiver.

Yes, they both have hdmi outputs. You are correct about deca, it has to do with networking for whole home dvr service. A bbc is a small connector between the dish and the receiver that converts signals so the receiver can "see" them, swm is a type of lnb that allows two tuners to work over one cable.
 
Does the H24 support media share (so I can use the receiver to play music stored on my home computer)? I think I read somewhere that the H23 has the media share but the H24 doesn't. Can someone confirm?

thanks
 
I don't know about that one, but I'd be surprised if it didn't have that feature.
