HR54 replace HR44, Connects to Internet, no On Demand

My HR44 HDD failed; it was replaced with a HR54, works fine on TV, connected to either WIFI or Cat 6, On Demand won't work.

DirecTV sent a replacement, same thing.

WIFI light at top of screen next to time is lit.

System Test everything OK..

Connect to Internet works fine, says Ready for On Demand.

All On Demands are not available.

Online support told me to talk to my Internet provider.

Don't know what the difference is with HR44, or what to ask if it's open?

It takes 24 to 48 hours for On Demand to download, as well as the guide info.

Thank you both.  Wish support had mentioned this rather than two hours of chats, a second HR54, and now being told I needed a tech to upgrade all the receivers/clients.

Guess I'll wait.  Thanks again.

vagem55, can you share why the tech was needed - assume after he sets it up, so the rest of us know?

He wasn't needed.  It took over four days, but the On Demand finally worked.
