Sorry, re-posting this question because I think it got lost in the thread. Curtis

Are you using DECA or straight wired/wireless ethernet connections? It sounded like broncoman was not able to get it to work with that configuration.

After doing some research, I'm trying to determine if I need 2 or 3 DECA devices? I'm hoping I only need 1 for my HR23 and 1 for my R22. My R22 is currently not on my home network but my HR23 is. The HR23 has 2 ethernet ports on the back, I believe the 2nd is just a pass through. Can I connect...

I was wondering about the internet connection. My HR23-700 has a hard-wired internet connection. The R22-200 would need to have a wireless connection added. If I remember right, you can order a Cisco ethernet WAP for around $99. It sounds like I'd still need to pay $49 for the "upgrade"...

I tried another CSR and they tried to add the Whole Home DVR Service to my account with my existing equipment but the system wouldn't let them. They said it was likely because of my R22-200.

I'm just curious if my existing HD DVRs would work with the new Whole Home DVR Service. The D* CSR said I would need new equipment and would need to update my currently installed SWM technology. I just had everything installed approximately 1 year ago so I'm not really interested in paying $198...

I purchased a R22-200 DVR a couple months ago and it recently started making a humming noise. It's really only audible at night when the house is quiet or if you put your ear up to the unit. I called D* and they sent out a replacement unit but it was an older R15-300. When I called back to try...

OK. I've found an H21-100 and an HR20-700 that are owned. I called about a couple Hughes HTL and H10-250's but the D* Customer Service Rep told me that I couldn't get HD programming with those anymore because of the number of satellites D* now uses to carry HD. Is that true?

Based on my conversations with D*, I believe you are correct. Any one selling an H21/22/23 is selling a leased not owned unit unless I spend $500 or more for one. :( Do you think the H20 would have the same issue? It sounds like I should stay away from the H20-600 model and look for an H20-100...

Thanks for the help/advice. I just had a couple more questions. Do I have to purchase both the dish and receiver at the same time to verify that they work? In other words, if a found an H21 receiver and hooked it up with my current round single LNB 18" dish, could I verify that it is in working...

OK. I thought that might be the case. None of my other home projects ever end up being easy either. :) I see there are 3 and 5 LNB slimlines. Can I just get by with a 3 LNB or do I need a 5? If I already have the mast for the old dish mounted and positioned, would it be pretty easy to swap out...

The current RCA receiver I have, RCA DRD440RE, is acting up on me. It goes to black and white sometimes and then back to color. I've been with D* the past 7 years as an NFL Ticket Only subscriber. Every year I just pay for the ticket and I get that plus the NFL Network. I called and asked about...
