Hi all -
Been lurking and reading and I think I know what I need. I just want to run it by the experts to see if I'm on the right track...
Like many, I thought/assumed/was told that the DTV Internet connection was part of the MRV package. I was told incorrectly, it appears, and now that my install was finished on Tuesday they want another $25 for the Internet adapter and $50 for the technician to come to my house and plug it in. Nice work if you can get it, I suppose...
Anyway, I've got a pretty simple setup with an HR24 in the living room, an H24 in the bedroom, and a SD received (D12?) in the basement guest room for when the in-laws stay with us. All of this is connected to one of these things in my basement.
In the basement guest room, there is also this thing sitting on the floor which, if my understanding is correct, powers the SWM. And the D12 also has a BSF already attached.
My Comcast HSI comes in right to the same location in my basement and that is connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station which has a couple empty ports on it.
Given my reading and re-reading of the resources here, I believe that all I need is one of those DirecTV DECA adapters that runs $49.99. My remaining question is this: Do I need the power adapter, too?
Assuming I can get what I need for $49.99 or $67.99, I'm saving at least $8 over having DTV do it, and I'm saving myself taking another half-day off work only to watch someone else do something I could've done myself in under 3 minutes.
And there are no fees from DTV to "activate" this feature?
Thanks in advance!
