New Genie HR44-700 system info item questions
I upgraded to the DTV HR44-700 yesterday and in looking through the system found the following items
In system info the zip code shows 00000, shouldn't this populate with my local? It would seem like it woudl be used to key in on local chanels.
Also I see there is a reference to wirless in system info does the H44-700 have built in wireless that can be used in place of the black swm box?
Thx

The Zip code is just there to provide with dish aiming directions, it has nothing to do woith your locals. your lcoals are based on the zip code on your account. While is true that the HR44 has wifi built in, you still need the SWM box or SWM power inserter to power your dish LNB

If the following is true in system info, "the zip code is set to 00000 and is used to aim the dish", then should it not contain the local zip code in order to aim the dish properly??

That is just a hold over from the days when the techs didn't have meters they enter the zip code and that would bring up the basic settings to set up on the dishes aiming plates.
