Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
If you want to receive HD channels AND have a legacy Slimline dish (this means you have 2 wires going to your DVR's) you WILL REQUIRE a B-Band converter to allow this H24 receiver to receive the HD channels. It is NOT in the box! If you have a newer Slimline dish that utilizes a SWiM switch (single wire multiswitch - only requires one wire to your DVR) you WILL NOT need a B-Band converter. DirecTV does not seem to know any of this, as evidenced by the 4 techs I spent hours with on the phone last night. Other than that, this is a great little receiver. Nice & small, very quick access to the guide & other functions, much faster than the older H23's.
