Help- 5040 and Direct Tv D10-300 :(

580 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  JM2005
I want to know my options on what to do. I purchased a 5040 w/lifetime membership a couple years back on a great deal (possible mistake) from Radio Shack.


Started a business & had no time to figure out how to hook up and work.


Now things have calmed down and we REALLY want to use our Replay. We have spent tons of time trying to figure out how to get the stupid thing to work. Finally got on this board.


Sounds as if we can't get a code for D10-300. I have a Linksys wireless router but on another forum it sounded like the serial # I have will prevent me from getting codes hacked through it.


Bought a second hand Belkin router 802.11B. Model # F5D6231-4


!)Can I use this router to access codes? If so how?

2) Do I need to purchase a different Direct Tv reciever to use my Replay?


Any help would really be appreciated :) We are really new at all this :confused:

A google search on "ReplayTV DirecTV D10-300" will lead you to http://server.iad.liveperson.net/hc/...94&action=view


Sounds like you need a different DTV receiver.
Thank you I was afraid of that.
Called Direct TV and they are giving me a $50 credit toward buying a new one (I had to threaten to leave). Now I just came across my old Phillips reciever DSX-5500. Hmmm... I wonder if that would work?


Update: No different models to be found. Only Direct TV brand receivers are available at both Circuit City and Best Buy. Scary that it is coming to this. They are going to be losing some customers.

I can send you a used 40 hour 5000 drive with D10 codes loaded for around what dish reimbursed you. That way you don't have to learn how to load the code yourself. Please email me if interested.
