Appendix 2: How to Network Your HD DVR

How to Network your HD DVR
To use your DIRECTV HD DVR on your home network, you will need:
A compatible DIRECTV Receiver, such as the DIRECTV HD DVR (model HR20 or later) or DIRECTV Plus
A broadband Internet connection, with a minimum connection speed of 750 kbps or higher (DSL or cable)
A network router with an available Ethernet port
The instructions for connecting to a network are different depending upon whether you have Whole-Home DVR Service.
Please see the appropriate sections that follow.
Note: For the most current options and instructions to connect your DVR to the Internet, please visit directv.com/getconnected.
If you have Whole-Home DVR service:
Professionally Installed Internet Connection Kit:
the only option available for customers with Whole-Home DVR service.
If you do not have Whole-Home DVR service:
Wired: The fastest, most reliable connection. Your house must be wired for Ethernet, or you must run cables from a network
router to your DIRECTV HD DVR.
Wireless: This can be easiest method if you already connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. However, wireless connections may be
slower and somewhat less reliable than wired.
