Hello all! My parents have been DirectTV customers forever.  Late 1990's I think.  Live in the woods. ;) They currently have an H23-600, HR44-200, two C51-500's, and two C41-500's. Each receiver has a coax connected to it.  I heard from someone that the latest technology only requires one unit to be connected via coax and then the others would connect wirelessly.  Is this info correct?  If so, which model receivers would these be and is an equipment upgrade/swap usually free for longtime customers? Many thanks!  fyi, I'm a technical guy familiar with big city cable, Comcast, but this DirecTV stuff is new to me. Bill

My mother's facility just switched to Direct TV but the remote is impossible for her to use.  She is 99 and has to go by touch and needs a very simple remote control.  Is there ANY manufacturer that provides a remote for seniors that works with Direct TV?  

I live in FLorida.   no problem watching CNN live.   Same Machine.  now in Canada(British Columbia ).  when I try to watch CNN(and any other channel) it says loading and stops at 85%.  I am using a MacBook with Big Sur.     Sure hope someone can help

I recently posted a problem with 103 even transponders, and it was recommended I replace the SWM 8. I purchased a DTV AHKAKUKIT (I live in Hawaii) so I could replace both the lnb and SWM. I ran the coax from the new lnb directly to the old power inserter which was probably a big mistake. I had no signal and after a few minutes I realized the power inserter said SWM 8/16 only.  I moved the cable directly to my receiver, an HR20-700, and I still have zero signal on all satellites. Using my Satlook meter, I foundn a decent signal on 101W from the dish all the way to the receiver, but the receiver doesn't see anything. When In push the dash on the remote, it says SWiM connected.Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.
