DirecTV Receivers - Keeping them awaks
|
Hello,
We have an install with quite a few DirecTV receivers which the client wants to keep awake at all times. They are being controlled by IP, and the module has an "Active" command it can send out, but not having any hands on experience with DirecTV, is this the correct key to send and how often would I need to send it to keep the receivers awake? Thanks |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe thing you need to do is to go into the settings on the DTV rx and turn off power saving.? It needs to be checked every once in a while as sometimes a software update will reset it to on.? Note that even if power saving is on they will still record a scheduled recording.? Active is a command for something like interactive services, definitely not the right thing to send.? Better to send an occasional power on as there are discretes available.? If the only concern is to have a picture show up when the unit is first selected for viewing I recommend sending a power on every time it is selected just to make sure. ? ? ? ? ? ?
