is a HR20-100s compatible with SWM/Whole Home dvr?

?

 

[Davedirectv]

yes.

If it's not, then watching my HR20 from my HR23 must be a figment of my imagination.
(Using it in unsupported LAN mode, sans SWM.)

Yes they are but you need to wire them a little different. The HR20-100 can not power the DECA module on the SWiM tuner port. You need to split the cable running to the HR20 and plug the Deca module into tuner 2 and use band stop filter and run a line to tuner 1.

I was lucky and had the setup prior to the techs understanding this and they swapped my HR20 with an HR24 at no costs.

 

[Zellio2008]

So basically, the way I have my r16 plugged into the swm?

And this will still work for deca?

If only one line is being run in the room, how would I still do this?

No, you r16 is SWM compatible, but not MRV available.

You need a 2nd H or HR series box to use MRV.

And this will still work for deca?

Yes.

SWiM>2waySWM splitter>bs filter to port 1 >deca to port 2>ethernet to the ethernet

If only one line is being run in the room, how would I still do this?

Use the 2nd Diagram, not the 1st

 

[Zellio2008]

Could I use any type of 2 way splitter for that?

Would that lower the quality of the signal received?

Only Mpeg4 HD box that not mrv compatable is the H20 and Directv will swap those out for free if your doing a MRV upgrade.

 

[Zellio2008]

... So is the hr20 compatible or not? I already have mrv, I found a good deal on an hr20 and wanted to know if it could work.

 

[JAG72]

Yes it is as you were told more than one time here. I will try to find the diagram that shows you how you have to hookup the HR20-100.

 

[stonecold]

I said H20... HR20 is fine.


H20 = HD receiver that not mrv compatible

HR20 = HD DVR that is compatible.
