@William Lee Mind sharing? I would really appreciate the older version as well.

Never mind. Got a copy elsewhere. How friendly the Net can be! Sincere thanks for your help.

@jzerbe Ah, well, thanks anyway, Jason. Perhaps someone else here has it? Cyberlink (authors of PowerDVD), which wrote the app, seems to have done of thorough job of removing that version from the Net (it's the only one you can't find), I suspect because it lacked the steadily-mounting DRM protections that have subsequently caused so many problems for the DirecTV2PC beta testers (over at DBSTalk and AV Science Forum). What a pain.

@William Lee Thanks for the heads up. Sorry William but I lost the older version as well. Put up the one signed on March 02, 2009.

Hi Jason. In your original msg, the download link to your server is the activation app, not the DirecTV2PC app! Could you put the latter up, even briefly? I’ve been looking for the original version (v4526) everywhere, and I can’t find it. It was nationally available from Oct. 22, 2008 until (I think) around March of 2009. I’d really be very grateful. It’s the only version that works for me… and I erased it! Yikes! TIA.

I use outpost … which wasn’t automatically offering to open the ports for me.

Forgot to update this, it was my firewall blocking the local ports. Got it up and running right after I posted this.

@Dusty You do have the application unblocked in your windows firewall?

Not that easy for me yet …. have everything activated … but it shows 0 receivers when searching. Interesting thing though, it shows my reciver and the DirecTV medishare renderer & Directv2pc media server in my windows network.
