Genie 2 an upgrade?

I have 4 HR24-500 receivers in my home. Customer service tells me I should ‘upgrade’ to the Genie 2 system.  Do I really want to do this? Is the G2 system really technologically advanced?  Does it cost the same?  Does it have any additional features? Thanks for any advice…

If you do not get a Whole Home system, then you already have 5 tuners and want to add two more, thus you'll need a Zinwell WB68 multiswitch.  You should currently have one but may be running one of the DVR's with a single tuner setup.  The Zinwell ta

New Cable Run Questions

What you need depends on the way you decide to go.  With the Whole Home DVR setup by Directv, that SWM dish can handle up to eight tuners, and you'd only have five after the added receiver.  If you decide to stay with your current system then you nee

Fox Channel not working on all TVs

The main Fox channel is not coming in at all on our main TVs. This has been for about the past 48 hours. There's an onscreen message stating that DTV is aware of the problem and not to call about it. NOT a good thing to happen just in time for the Daytona 500! And now it's time for 24 and no relief

No way to over-ride. It should be about eight hours. Try to find an IR generator with a chron so you can schedule an activity every x hours.

Moving a jack to other side of room

I have a HDDVR in my rec room. I recently bought a new TV and need to install a new jack on the other side of the room where the tv will be going. I installed the actual hardware in the wall just fine but I am confused as to which cable I need to run to the jack. I have a eight way splitter with cab

Great point and one that I had not considered.  An inexperienced installer may wrongly assume that the internal bridging of the SWiM16 allows more than eight tuners on one output.

With MRV you wouldn't really need a OTA feed to the rooms with HD receivers. You could piggy back to one of the DVR's to pick up the off air program you wanted. Of course if you intend that all eight TV's would be in use simultaneously then you'll ne

You have fifteen tuners.  Are you sure you have no more than eight on either of the splitters?  Note sure re the band stop question, perhaps one of the other guys can comment.

You can only have eight devices but if you had Time Warner Cable before you could probably just plug your tv in to the cable jack and get service. That's what i did.
