Installation-771 code-Old mind

You can't use coax splitters, unless you already have a Single Wire Multiswitch dish.  Press the HR22 remote's Dash (-) button .... does it echo "swm connected" on your TV?  If not, then you don't have SWM and cannot use splitters.  Let us know what you find and we can advise further.

OK, then you don't have SWM.  I'm surprised your setup ever worked with that coax splitter.  Each Receiver and DVR tuner must have its own coax cable from your satellite dish or multiswitch.  How many total Receivers and DVRs do you have now?  Do you already have a multiswitch?

I still need to program my remote.  I worked four hours on the installation, and on the phone with Directv...they hung up inadvertently I guess, but I had to get away from it last night, and today.  Afraid I got to frustrated.

I'll do that tonight or tomorrow...Hope the dash still would work the way you wanted it to. 

Look at that "outside splitter".  I'm guessing it's your multiswitch. What brand/model markings are on it?  Can you post a photo of it?

You know, for ~$50 DirecTV will send someone to take care of this for you.  

I'll go take a picture....I didn't have the $50...They gave me the receiver, because of my length of time.  It cost me $21.60 to ship which hit hard enough. 

So is this where I am?

1. remove splitter, send second signal to HD DVR.

2. remove coax to second tuner on bedroom dvr (I still should get all the stations whouldn't I?)  And I can record, just can't watch  something else at the same time, which doesn't matter, I look at that TV late at night, mostly shows I recorded.

It's really confusing that the front receiver the HD DVR seems to stream the local stations on that tuner 2(so I don't get them), I hope that doesn't happen on the back one when I disconnect that one coax..

I hope you are retired for the night, and not given up on me...

Don't be frustrated, this is really quite simple, but the needs are absolute.  There are no, "well how bout I do it this way etc" options.  The picture you supplied is of a ground block and it's sole purpose is to remove any potential between the coax and your electrical system. 

You'll see that the ground block has four feeds from the dish (the black wires) but only three wires feeding into the house.  Those are the original three you've been using.  You need to remove all splitters from inside and use only the three original coax.  To supply the additional feed, you need to run another coax from the ground block to where it's needed.

This will provide four feeds which will supply two DVR's.  As your current system sets, you cannot add any more receivers or DVR's unless you have Directv come and install some added equipment.

Ok, I understand absolute, I also understand my finances the rest of my life, and that's ok, but can I still:

Will this, at least still be possible to get it right on my living room HD DVR??? 

Yes, you can do that.  Just be sure to remove that coax splitter.  And you'll need to repeat the DVR's Satellite Setup to specify single tuner operation at the appropriate setup step. 

Thanks to bothof you for being so direct and kind .  I hope I don't have setup questions, but knowing you are here for us helps meanyway.

We're here to help!
