I have Directv with a HR44/700 Genie &amp; TWC for internet and I'm lost on how to set this up. Has anyone had any luck in getting this setup to work?

I don't have personal experience with DirecTV but I have used Actiontec devices, including this one, to great success. Connect a computer to the device via ethernet cable with wifi disabled on the computer. Look at the connection's address. It should be 192.168.1. To see the address start Command Prompt (its a windows accessory) and type IPCONFIG. That will return the computers IP address. If it's not showing that address, do a complete resest of the Actiontec device. Push and hold the reset button on the back of the device for about 10 seconds. Then unplug the device for another 10 seconds. Start it up and you should be all set. Plug in and enjoy. If that fails then its time to understand MOCA a bit better. FIOS inserts an internet signal into the coax, sharing bandwidth. This adapter pulls off that internet signal and gives you four ethernet ports you can plug into. But that's only if there is an internet signal present. If there is none -- and I just don't know if DirecTV does or not, you will need to get another MOCA device (actiontec makes one) to insert the internet signal into the coax.

do you have it set up through your cable or dish? i don't and it works just fine. i didn't want to go through all the re-connecting because ia can never get it the same. i just put it through the game poet on the side of my tv.

My neighbor and I both have the same unit, the THR22. The AM21 works great, just not with the THR22. The THR22 still records from local via sat. Also, if you cancel service, like neighbor did, the THR22 unit becomes doorstop and usb stops working also. Directv would not add it to my account even though neighbor paid for unit outright. I haven't tried it since last year, but in any event Tivo has a much better than average cust knowledge base, unlike DIRECTV worth calling. I still have DIRECTV and like it, so I'm not slamming them perse. IN any event, my conversations with both companies informally leads me to believe that Directv really does not care to much for Tivo and the two units are not supported together. I have no doubt that some hack somewhere might have cracked them to work together, but it would probably violate several state and federal laws in the process. Call Tivo and ask them.

I wasn't able to use it because my swm box and internet router are on two different floors so I didn't hook it up. The one that will work is the Directv Connected Home Adapter DCASR0-01 which I got for free from Directv.

I am using the RC66RBX on an older HR22 DVR. I have had DirecTV for at least 16 or 17 years in my experience has always been call their service number they will walk you through your problems. Good luck

I have a genie going to four rooms with Tivo to two more. You will need to add a switch at the point of wiring to get the Tivo unit to work also ( so that it has a separate feed to the dish). If you just plug it in where a c41-700 network box is it will not work. If you are replacing the Genie, then it will work. Network availability, just like the Genie is also required for proper functioning. Hope it helps.

I do not have a genie, but I searched the directv site and the answer is yes. They have simple instructions at the web site.

Sorry, I can't provide any insight to your situation, as I don't utilize TWC. I currently use the DVR for over the-air-reception, though I can tell you it does work with DirectV and Dish, but using it via Channel 3 on the Magnavox as the input from the set top box going to the Magnavox then to the TV. Although it was not true HD, the picture quality was excellent.

We use DirectTV. The VuQube people are good about getting back with you if you have questions about set up.

We could not get this to work with Time Warner Cable -- their techs spent over 4 hours at our home trying to get the digital local channels to record, eventually blaming it on our private wireless network router config (bullcrap) so we returned it. Sorry! (but if you have TWC, good luck!)

I don't know because we do not have any clients. We have an HR34/700 Genie and an HR24/100 with no clients.DirecTV tech support should be able to answer any questions that you have concerning their receiver and client usage.

it worked on my TWC setup, I just had to provide them with the model and MAC address. Better than paying $5 a month for their modem.

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.

I called directv and set it up. Pretty minimal monthly charge- I think it's $10/mo or less.

I had a difficult time myself. I ended up going to a signal king website and was finally able to get it to operate. I know that the disc that came with it was useless. I don't remember how exactly I got it going though. Now that I am home, I no longer need it as I have my own ISP. Sorry that I can't remember more, good luck.

Robert,Were you able to get this setup? If not, I live in Nassau and install these setups for satellite 97w. Were you able to setup for Dishnetwork or DirecTv as well?
