If you have Whole-Home DVR Service:
Professionally Installed Internet Connection Kit
Because Whole-Home DVR service uses a network to share programs between your DIRECTV receivers, only a professionally installed
Internet Connection Kit can be used to connect to the Internet.
Never connect an Ethernet cable to an HR24 or H24 receiver with Whole-Home DVR service; this will disable the Whole-Home
network and disable playlist sharing.
If you have DECA Connected Home Adapters connected to your HD DVR, you must use a professionally installed Internet Connection
Kit to connect to the Internet.
Your professionally installed Internet Connection Kit should consist of a Broadband DECA similar to the
one shown here.
The Internet Connection Kit connects to a coaxial cable and an Ethernet cable connected to your home
router to provide home network and Internet connectivity to all of the Whole-Home capable receivers in
your household.
If you have Whole-Home DVR Service and are having difficulty accessing the DIRECTV CINEMA service or
Media Share features, check to ensure the Broadband DECA is powered and the coaxial cable and Ethernet cable are firmly connected.
