Have SWM LNB, power inserter and HD DVR HR24. Get "cabling error" message. What is wrong?

Could possibly be a bad cable or connector, check with an ohmmeter to be sure. Also check to insure that the power inserter is connected to the proper port on the multiswitch. I hope this helps and merry christmas

did you do the setup again and tell it the correct antenna? not sure. Did you call directv?

I'd have to research to see in the HR24 can accept SWM. If you've upgraded to this LNB but are using the HR24 as it was configured for the old one you might want to try to re-run setup on your satellite tuner.

What is the exact error? Is there a number? Is it 775? The cable should come directly out of your LNB, from your dish to your power inverter in your house. It also depends on how many tv's you have. If you have many tvs, you will need a SWM splitter that accepts the power from the power inverter and goes back to the dish. If it's only for one tv, then you won't need a SWM splitter and you can hook your cable to your power inverter, then to your receiver. Just make sure your cable in is going to the right port.

I will have to check. Only one end needs to be powered. We were using them for sending POS DATA back to a pc, ended up pulling them out and installing a serial over cat5 instead to clear up some intermittent issues we were having. You may not have any trouble with them we had kind of a special setup I think is why we had issues.

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

I utilize my converter on my camera system. I have HDMI on my dvr and rca on two tv's connected to the converter. I had to connect the converter to the USB on my computer for power. Then ensure you select HDMI source on your tv. Also ensure you have ntsc selected on the converter. If this all fails, the converter might be bad.

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

I'm having the same problem with the 1TB my dvr expander. Let me know if you found a fix. I've had a 500gb on my other sa 8300 hd and never had an issue.

It might, but not always, that code indicates that the receiver is not getting a signal from the dish and that could be the reason. In my case it fixed the problem, but only for a while, eventually I had to call a service tech and he changed some components at the dish. I would try unplugging it and seeing if the signal comes back, if it does but goes out again later, then the problem is probably up at the dish. After replacing the power inserter and still having the same problem I determined that the first one probably wasn't bad after all.

I am also not an expert, but I have an HR44 and HR24 with a Slimline 5. You really should talk with DIRECTV as I believe the whole house functionality with only work with 2 HR-XX's. I recommend replacing the B-Band converters and switching to SWM, as it eliminates the wiring mess from the dish. It works well. Be careful re the "Genie" ... DIRECTV seems to use the term to describe both the HR34 and the HR44. The HR44 is a significantly better unit. Smaller and near zero latency re channel switching. The HR34 has real problems. I got rid of mine.

Sounds to me like you have a weak signal coming into your home. Get a cable technician out to your place with his meter. A weak signal is most likely the problem. Shouldn't cost you nothing.

I hooked mine up to a computer monitor. To get full system support the DVR needs internet connection also.

if your LNB has 4 outputs, you will need a PI 21 power supply and the appropriate SWM splitter if you have more than one receiver. Your multiswitch will not work with the SWM LNB

That doesn't sound right. You may have gotten a bad unit but if you can swap out the power supply and see if that helps. I have two of these that have been running almost continuously 24/7 for 2 years with 0 problems. I am using the model GS608. Unless the unit is getting overly hot or the power feeding it is bad it shouldn't be doing what you describe. I am using them to condense several 10/1100 IP camera frame data into 1 GB line going to a router. So they are working pretty hard.

Yes...you will need a power inserter as well. Directtv 5 LNB SWM will require a 29Volt inserter. Some older receivers insert power (13 volts or so)...i'm not sure that is enough but, you may want to try yours out before you buy a inserter...if not an inserter doesn't cost too much!

I had the same problem when I used a splitter. If it was hooked up directly it was fine. I returned the splitter.

Some few devices are non-standard and their HDMI ports are not powered. In those rare cases an AC adapter will be required. I found all the devices I use, except the cable DVR box, worked fine. I requested an AC adapter from the seller and they sent me one, free of charge.

Can you provide more details on your setup? How long and of what quality is the power and video cable you are using? Is it connected directly to a tv or are you using some kind of capture card and software on a computer? There could be several variables involved that may be culprit.

It could be the loss of the EDID due to a timing issue between the TV and the cable box. There is an inexpensive box that may solve your problem. google for "Got HDCP Connection Problems?"
