I am using a DirecTV HR20 DVR (HD, not the Genie). Can I receive all channels carried on Satellite 101 with the GM-5000?

As long as they are broadcasted in standard definition, yes. The HR20 will be compatible. La Mar Timmons Winegard Digital Communications

Hi Steve: The regular coax (RG-59) will probably work for short runs like in your trailer although DirecTV calls for RG-6. You will need an LNB and a DirecTV receiver and LNB in order to receive satellite signals from this dish. They are available with HD and DVR capability. Dont forget the LNB. DH

It only works with certain DirecTV receivers. Many of the newer ones (especially the HD models) do not pass the TVGOS information. To find out if your receiver passes the information, call DirecTV. Many of the reps don't understand it though, so it may take a few phone calls until you reach someone who does, or is at least willing to ask someone more knowledgeable.You should still be able to set recordings manually and the IR blaster will change the channel on the DirecTV receiver for you.

The SL3-SWM is the DirecTV HD LNB which, when used with the SWM dish and power inserter, will provide an HDsignal to the receiver. The HR44-700 (Genie) is a DirecTV HD DVR it should work with the SL3-SWM LNB and thepower inserter. Don't forget to use the splitter which blocks the power from getting to the HR44-700.

I have two of the Daewoo and each records all the channels available to me on my Directv including the above and premium channels. If the Daewoo fails to record any channel it may be a set up problem.

sure, you can get all dish sats, icluding hd channels, this the best box I´ve had, the only problem is you can not get several satellites at one time, you have to use a special switch like EMP-CENTAURI 4X1

Yes, but the Hopper is not compatible with your existing wiring & satelite dish. You just can't swap out the Hopper with a standard DVR/receiver from Dish. You need a whole new setup.

Tivo's in general don't work well with satellite TV, they're meant for cable TV or over-the-air TV. DirecTV has it's own DVR (or PVR) similar to Tivo that they offer (for a smaller monthly fee).

Yes, it was made to work with the genie DVR from directv. Just follow the instructions.carefully.

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.

No. However, my DirecTv HD-DVR allows for the recording of multiple programs while watching another channel. I would think yours does too.

I use Dish for my television reception with regular and HD channels. I have had no problem recordings using the dvr 620 by Toshiba (once I mastered the manual).

Yes it is meant to work with the mini. I think you can use any Directv dish, but better with an HD receiver. Hope this helped. But Directv will only let you use one Genie in each household. I needed two because we have Directv in our 5th-wheel and after buying a secound one on Amazon I found out I couldn't use it.

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

Not that I'm aware of but if you are a Direct TV customer just take a rcvr with you when you travel. Only time you'll need to call direct TV is if you want local channels

No problem. I upgraded my dish net receiver to one of the newer dvr receivers and keep the old original dish reciever which I put in my motorhome and I use the winegard GM 1518 for the motor home. Everything works great and is easy to use. You will have to pay net about $7 a month to use the 2nd reciever in the motorhome. When you move about in the motorhome to different geographic locations you will need to call DISH NETWORK and advise them of your new location (address and zip code) to get local stations there--this is a free service and takes just of few minutes.
