I suppose you can always get one that won't work, but The one I have works great. I have one for my RV and I really haven't had any problems as long as it can be setup properly at the camp site. You will of course have to register it with Directv before it will work.

First you need the serial # of the box, then you need to call DirecTV (verify it can be used, if it's owned, deactivated & account in good standing) & don't be satisfied with the info they give you (it's unreliable, from personal experience). Ask to be transferred to the access card department (to verify the same info).

The HR24 is compatable with DirecTVs SWM System. I'm using a HR24 in my RV and home both with the SWM system.

Yes. You will need a cable from the RT8000S connected to the "Sat In" on the receiver ( if I recall...this cable is supplied with the RT8000S). You'll also need a cable (coax, HDMI, etc.) from the receiver to the TV (or the panel coax connector which goes to the TV). Some prewired RVs are not always "satellite ready"...so be prepared to make modifications if necessary.

Hey - not sure what an 'old SD' style TV is but I'm using the converter box on an old Projection TV and it works good. The antenna is kind of flimsy so I got a sturdier one to use with the converter.

If your receiver is RF compatible the answer is yes. Most newer receivers are RF compatible. Some of the older ones were not. Look in your remote setup and see if there is an RF option for the remote in the setup or call Directv with your receiver model number and ask them.

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.

We just installed this very setup in our Rv. The directv tech had to run it through the satellite input in our trailer vs. Cable. Why, I do not know.

I used mine as an alternate to the built in disk drive in my DirecTV satellite receiver DVR. The receiver would recognize only the external drive if it was connected. If the external drive is disconnected or fails, the receiver will revert to the internal drive. I know of no way to transfer the contents of an external DVR drive to another drive, although it may exist somewhere. My solution was to upgrade my satellite receiver to one with a bigger drive for the DVR.

yes, i have one of my house receivers in my truck, you just need a standard (non hd) receiver. not the new swim receiver.

Mine was very simple (with DirecTV. Just plugged into the receiver and set it up generally facing South and starting around 40%azimuth (there is a graph in the manual that gives you an idea what it should be depending on where your located.. Then you can manually adjust it with the remote to get the strongest signal using the signal strength finder on the receiver menu. Good luck. I use mine camping and and tailgating. Very happy with it.

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

I have a Pioneer SC-25. I had to use the middle bottom rack, cutting out the back section of it in order to fit audio and hdmi connections. It still looks great. Just cut to the size needed...in my case I cut the entire space out equivalent to the size of my receiver.

I bought this equipment for my daughter's bedroom but it was not compatible with my DirecTV satellite. You mayhave to call and confirm that the box will work before you buy it. Sorry I cannot give a better answer...

I don't remember the specific receiver i use with it but I do know it has to be standard definition. This will not play hd.

I am using it with two different receivers. Model: HR21-200 which is an HD-DVR and an H20-100 which is an HD Receiver. Your location may be more important than the receiver. I live in upstate SC and it receives all the channels I subscribe to including locals and it also receives all the guide information. No problems at all.

I cannot answer this question as my connection is by cable service not DirecTV. I have a 75 inch set and the remote serves all of my needs very well to this point but don't know how it would work with satellite.
